    Reverse Dieting and Nutrition for Executives: How I Eat 4,000 Calories a Day at 10% Body Fat (Macros, Carbs, Alcohol)

    A nutrition system for executives: reverse dieting, macros, alcohol, and how to eat 4,000 calories a day at 10% body fat without storing it as fat. For seven years I did the opposite and got nowhere. Gym five days a week. Cardio almost every day. Some weeks down to 1,200 calories. The scale never moved. In Episode 05 of The Nick Burns Show, I walk through the entire nutrition system I use with leaders in the energy industry. Reverse dieting and the multi-year cycle I used to get from 2,000 calories to 4,000 without gaining fat. The thermic effect of food and why 20% of every protein calorie is essentially free. Why carbs are not the enemy you think they are, and the brain fog that hits when you cut them. How to actually eat for the life you're living, whether that's a stationary desk, a two-week rotation, or a vendor dinner circuit. I get into the conversation I'm not afraid to have with VPs, directors, and CEOs about what alcohol is actually costing them. Every twelve ounces of alcohol freezes fat loss and muscle growth for twelve hours. Two beers Monday, two Wednesday, two Friday, and you wrote off the week before you ever set foot in the gym. I tell the story of the client at 4.5% body fat who looked like he was at 10%. Five protein shakes a day, inflamed and watery from his own stack and didn't know it. If nutrition, fat loss, alcohol, or hitting your protein target is the thing holding you back, start here. https://www.petrofitwellness.com/

    How an Energy Exec Lost 24 lbs in 3 Months Eating MORE Food

    Andrew Keck is a mid-40s leader in the energy industry. Houston hours, catered lunches, work dinners, a two-year-old at home. He was already training nearly every day, and the scale would not move. Then he fixed his nutrition and dropped 24 pounds in three months while eating more food than before. In this episode, Andrew sits down with Nick to break down exactly how he did it. Why the office, and not the weekend, is where most professionals' diets fall apart. How he eats out, travels for work, and still came back from Mexico down half a pound. Why he eats the same high protein breakfast every single day. The 3 PM energy crash that disappeared. And the alpha dad math that started it all: he wants to be 60 and still strong enough to pick up his kid. No shortcuts. No secret. Just food, training, and a system any busy professional can run.

    Why 8 Out of 10 CEOs Face Imposter Syndrome with JP Warren

    JP Warren has been in oil and gas for 21 years. He sits at tables with 10 CEOs and says 8 of them have imposter syndrome. Including him. In this episode, JP opens up about the COVID stretch where he was drinking vodka sodas at 11am and self-sabotaging his own business in slow motion. He talks about the two friends who pulled him onto a jiu-jitsu mat and what that reset gave him. He shares the Fort Bragg DUI moment that rewrote his life, and the first sergeant who saw something in him then and is now one of his clients at Petrofit. Full circle. We also get into why motivation runs out and only systems hold, how your body language is doing 55% of your selling before you open your mouth, Jiu-Jitsu Jesus and faith for high performers, the empty nest math nobody warns you about, and what it really means to keep showing up for your family while you're growing the business. 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@nickburnsshow 🏋️ Petrofit: https://www.petrofit.info/ Follow The Nick Burns Show wherever you get your podcasts.

    What Oil & Gas Executives Get Wrong About Their Bodies

    Most leaders in oil & gas have built companies, raised families, and climbed careers — but the one thing they keep deprioritizing is themselves. In Episode 2, Nick sits down with Massiel Diaz to unpack what 12 years of getting fitness wrong taught her, and what executives in this industry need to hear before they hit 40 and wonder where their energy went. Massiel shares the decade-plus she spent under-eating and over-training trying to look like the women she saw on Instagram — and the moment she realized most of them were on performance-enhancing drugs. Nick gets candid about his own decision to come off testosterone after four kids, why he tells his clients they're "a walking receipt of all their actions," and how fitness directly translates into sales calls, promotions, and how you show up in a room. They cover the truth about TRT and peptides, why carb cycling works for high performers, how to think about protein when you actually have a job, and why behavior change matters more than any workout plan you'll ever buy. If you've been telling yourself "I don't have time" — this episode is for you. Connect with Nick at https://www.petrofit.info/ or on LinkedIn.
