Kali Muscle reveals the harsh truth behind packaged food and diet advice

In a video captioned “Why Influencers Are Lying To You” the YouTube Influencer with 3.32 million followers talked about his experiences with packaged food. Acknowledging his contribution to the growing malaise, Kali said he was a victim of fast food and an unhealthy lifestyle. Muscle was one of the earliest mukbangers on YouTube, consuming burgers, chips, sodas, and every imaginable packaged food.

He did not care about the harmful ingredient that went into the making like sugars and hydrogenated fat. To add to this, the bodybuilder was also training hard to put on muscles and was also consuming steroids. This attitude of his led to a clogged left artery that resulted in a heart attack.

Learning from his mistakes, the fitness enthusiast is exposing fitness influencers who give diet tips without scientific evidence. “You have all these influencers I see telling people what they should eat. They shouldn’t eat this. How do they know? 99.9 of them haven’t even did an allergy test.”

Giving an example from his diet, Muscle revealed that he is allergic to milk, eggs, and nuts. He avoids food that causes him discomfort. Muscle also calls out the packaging industry, saying that “healthy” may not be healthy because of the added preservatives. “If it’s in the box, it’s fake. They got to put preservatives in it. Make it last for years so you’re consuming chemicals,” added Muscle. Kali is not the one to mince words. He recently condemned the use of steroids in the bodybuilding industry.

Muscle advises the fitness community to focus on cardio for heart health

The fitness icon implores fitness enthusiasts to find a balance in their lifestyle. He argues that while it is not good to be overweight, putting in too much muscle can also be detrimental, as people tend to consume steroids. Furthermore, strength training has gained a lot of traction, but people avoid cardio. 

Muscle opines that cardio training gets the heart pumping, which is extremely good for overall health. “Don’t get fat; don’t get over muscular, stay lean, mean,” added the influencer. However, Muscle believes that the wrong diet can be more harmful than steroids, as it is the primary reason for heart attacks. Muscle advises followers to be mindful of what they are eating. Reading nutrient lists of packaged food and getting to know one’s diet requirements through allergy tests is one way to go.
