Reasonable or Tough

Dan John, strength coach and teacher has a great way to breakdown diets and workouts. 

If you’re doing tough workouts, a reasonable diet will probably do.

If you’re doing reasonable workouts, you need a tough diet. 

It’s hard and maybe you only do this once a year, tough workouts, tough diet. 

In times of high stress, reasonable workout, reasonable diet. 

Are you trying to tough diet and tough workout but just keep spinning your wheels? Maybe you need a reasonably good diet instead of the tough one you keep trying. If you don’t want to change your diet, but want to make some changes, perhaps it’s time to jack up the intensity of your workouts and make them tougher. 

Regardless of your specific goal, this is a way to get yourself organized and figure out what you need.
