<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Points</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Don’t hesitate to eat the food that you like—even when you’re keeping a close eye on your macros and calories—if only to make the journey more sustainable. Use the 17 out of 20 rule, where 17 of your meals in a 4-day cycle are on point, and you enjoy life with the other three meals.</li>
<li>These three components of any successful training regiment should make up the structure of your week: 1) Do something you like to do; 2) Do something your body needs; 3) Do something you want to master or get better at. This keeps the impulse to crave “fast” results at bay and ensures that you have balance in your training.</li>
<li>Be aware of the myth of motivation. Motivation is fleeting, and it can only take you so far. If you want predictability in your training, discipline and being accountable (i.e. to a coach) is far more important if you want to see your fitness goals through to the end.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Powerful Quotes by Magnus</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>I don’t believe in food restrictions. I don’t like it. Good food is a big part of life, and life without good food is a poor life.</li>
<li>All diets are strategies.</li>
<li>You will fail every time if you depend on motivation.</li>
