Why Focus on Whole Foods?

You can absolutely include protein powders, protein bars, and even fast food in a calorie deficit. But what I care a lot about — and what I teach inside Best Body — is feeding your body high-quality nutrients.

Your body needs real food to function at its best, especially when you’re working toward fat loss, muscle maintenance, or improving your energy.

Choosing whole foods as the foundation of your meals is one of the fastest ways to see results you can maintain.
