Renaissance Periodization

Today’s nutrition plan we’re going to cover is Renaissance Periodization (RP)! RP is a company that offers templates and 1-on-1 nutrition plans. They are a calorie and macro-centered plan that give exact amounts of food to eat at certain times. I have not done it personally but have collected information from a number of people that saw success from following it. As always, not every plan is for everybody. My goal is to introduce these as different options.


Notes on each persons answers. Every single persons first response was “it works” followed by other pros like energy, lots of food, didn’t feel hungry. But like every diet some peoples cons were different. In fact, one person specifically said it wasn’t sustainable for them long term and another person listed sustainability as a pro. So here are their pros and cons list.
