Why use Unorthodox Nutrition Part 3

Avoiding Common Pitfalls and the Importance of Customised Nutrition Plans

A major benefit of a customised nutrition plan is the ability to avoid common dietary pitfalls, such as following generic diets that don't meet the specific needs of BJJ and MMA athletes. Mike stresses the importance of avoiding one-size-fits-all diets, which often fail to support the intense training and recovery needs of combat sports athletes. His approach ensures a balanced intake of macronutrients and micronutrients, tailored to each athlete's regimen and lifestyle, helping them avoid the dangers of extreme dieting practices like drastic carb or calorie cutting.
