Ocho is crazy to think nutrition doesn’t affect performance, body composition, rebuilding/healing & overall mood. It absolutely does! You should try & eat a balanced diet that’s of course suited to the sport or lifestyle you lead. I have a cheat meal once a week & I can tell afterwards that I feel worse, but it’s worth it because I’d go crazy if I couldn’t enjoy it often.
