<p><strong>You don’t need to suffer to lose fat.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>I know that’s controversial.</p><p><br></p><p>Because most people think if it doesn’t feel miserable, it’s not working.</p><p><br></p><p>But allow me to prove that those people are wrong.</p><p>In this solo episode, I’m doing something a little different.</p><p><br></p><p>I’m committing to <strong>100 days of eating some form of “fun food” every single day</strong> while still losing fat.</p><p><br></p><p>Oreos.<br>Pizza.<br>Burgers.<br>Candy.<br>Whatever fits.</p><p><br></p><p>Not because junk food is magical.
