Flexible lifestyle

As I mentioned several times, I like a flexible approach of eating, even on a diet. I used to have typical bodybuilding meals(and approach,like eating every 2,5 - 3 hours) for the first 10 years of my fitness journey, then I saw that several very successful athletes had completely different methods of eating/training, and were

Cardio?

I'm not a particular fan of cardio training in terms of muscle development and fat burning. I use it (on me & my clients) something like a ''spice'' is used on food, so I use it as less as possible.

The endless question:do it or not to do it?

I've been slinging around to start writing a blog quite a lot of time, but like always in my case, dieting always starts ''moving my brain'':)
My rules of eating & training can be described in a few words: basic movements / flexible dieting / simple ''no broscience/bullshit'' approach, which i also apply on my clients.
