#027 – Christmas Q&A

by //

When & how did you make the “switch” in your head to go from a crash diet mentality to actually realizing it’s a lifestyle?

Holiday season is here. Thought it’d be fun to do an episode of the FAQs I get over the years. How many sit ups do I do? What kind of diet did I try? Had some deeper questions towards the 2nd half of the episode as well. Merry Christmas & Happy holidays!

This episode I go through a bunch of Q&As. Questions and timestamps can be found below in the show notes.

#026 – Diet vs Exercise

by //

I lost over 110lbs/50kg doing zero exercise. Zero.

A little rant. The numbers that get thrown around is that weightloss is 80% diet, 20% exercise. When doctors told me I had to lose weight they prescribed exercise. I lost over 110lbs/50kg in less than two years doing zero exercise. Zero.

This episode I go through trend of prescribing exercise for weightloss. The upside down mentality that to lose weight means hitting the gym or going for jog. Not saying exercise isn’t important, it absolutely is. But in terms of body composition, it’s all about the calories.

 

#024 – Protein Protein

by //

6 days felt like 6 months of no lifting.

First complete workout week after what feels like a decade. Full barbell training. Having trouble with the bulking process, numbers flying all over the place without having a grasp on a real weight gain. Hopped on calorie cycling, and optimized protein.

This episode I go through the trouble with bulking, protein needs, calorie cycling, and sharing before/after shots.
