10 a . m . And I won ’ t have carbohydrates until lunch . I usually have porridge for breakfast , but on that day I ’ ll have scrambled eggs whites with just one yolk and some vegetables . I feel like that works wonders because the body expects to get carbs and doesn ’ t expect the cardio . So twice a week I shock it . Also , my supplement line , 360Health , produces acetyl-l-carnitine , and I feel like that helps the process even more . Carnitine transports fat to the mitochondria where it can be metabolized into energy . I always start the day with a carnitine shot .
MC : What other supplements do you take on a daily basis ? MR : I take carnitine every morning and then I take it again before I do any kind of training . I get a good 15 grams of BCAAs a day — 10 grams during training and then I just sip on another five grams
all day . I ’ ll add 40 grams of whey protein isolate to my porridge in the morning and then I have it post-training , and I have it again at night typically as a dessert blended into a smoothie with some frozen berries or with some yogurt . And I always have glutamine . I have 10 grams post-training and another 10 grams before bed . 360Health makes it so I know it ’ s pure , natural , and has no artificial flavors .
MC : What impact do you want to make on the fitness world ? MR : I want to really push the importance of nutrition . If it means you have to sacrifice a training session to do some food preparation or food shopping , then so be it . Also , I want to show that you don ’ t need to try to beat anyone else . I want to show that hard work , consistency , patience , and self-discipline are traits you need to achieve your goals . And I want to be the good guy in the industry and to be someone who never shows any arrogance . I want to show that I am a family guy , well-spoken , educated , and a hard worker .
MC : What are your goals over the next few years ? MR : I ’ d like to spend more time in America and create more opportunity . I ’ d like to be an influencer or ambassador with some big sporting brands , whether it ’ s clothing or grooming products . If I could get into acting in movies or commercials , I would take that route for sure . At the same time , I have a good life over here . If the next few years is training people , writing diet plans for my clients , and developing Health360 into a household name around the world , I ’ ll be happy with that . IM
