Hola from sunny and hot AF Florida as your favorite nerd is upright getting ready to hunt down the RedCon1 gym to train before the ISSN conference kicks off at high noon today.

One thing I love about the ISSN conference is all the latest science to add mo’ muscle and train your metabolism to get leaner.

Now, normally, when you mention body composition you hear:

‘Bro, to see yo’ abZ you need to avoid dem CarbZ!”

….but what if I told you that some athletes were eating mountains of carbZ and were ripped?

This is not only for males mind you.

“She was consuming 600 grams of carbs per day with six-pack abs."

That’s not me making wild claims.

That’s a direct quote from Dr. Mike Molloy—nutrition coach to the CrossFit elite, including Games competitors who eat mere mortals like us for breakfast.

This isn’t hyperbole.

I was on stage with Dr. Molloy at the NEC conference last October. We’re talking about the best of the best here. The freaks. The top 0.1% who train 2-4+ hours a day like their lives depend on it. Let me name-drop for you:

· The female? Emma Lawson.

· The male examples? The Panchik twins.

But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about freaks or unicorns with genetic lottery tickets.

The point is, there’s no reason to fear carbZ. You’ve been lied to by the carb-phobic propaganda machine.

The Reality Check: Why Carb Equations Are BS on a Stick

No cookie-cutter equation from a book is going to crack the carb code for you or your clients.

The difference between individuals is insane.

Trying to solve it by plugging numbers into a formula and then yelling at your clients to “try harder” is pure, unfiltered nonsense.

That’s why you need a system—not a guess, not a template, but a system that lets you fine-tune carb intake over time.

Enter the Flex Diet Cert: CarbZ Edition

In the Flex Diet Cert, I’ve dedicated an entire section to carbZ.

From high-level concepts to nitty-gritty theories and five explicit action items you can start applying immediately, it’s all there. This isn’t just about carbs—it’s about precision nutrition that works in the real world.

And because the Cert keeps evolving, I’ve added something truly special:

Brand New: "Ask the Expert" with Dr. Mike Molloy

Real Talk from Jessica:

Here’s what Jessica, a Flex Diet Certified Trainer from Australia had to say:

"Metabolic Flexibility as taught in the FDC helps me fuel my body to perform at my best—physically, mentally, and emotionally. When I'm functioning around 100%, I can give others my best.

What my gym members and I put into our bodies makes a WAY bigger difference than the 1-3 hours I see them per week."
—Jess C., Flex Diet Certified Trainer + Founder of Project Better

Much love and carbZ,

Dr. Mike

PS- yep, the FDC closes tonight at midnight. Payment plans are available too - just scroll to the bottom of the page below
