#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.

 

#025 – Non Zero Days

by //

the magic begins when you have a massive string of consistent non zero days.

A zero day is a day where you do absolutely nothing towards your goals, dreams, or whatever it is you want to do. A non zero day doesn’t mean you completed a set of tasks, or achieved significant progress. A non zero day is simply taking one step forward. Writing one sentence, reading one page, doing one pushup.

This episode I go through the significance of non zero days in my journey. I break down how it helped me create a exercise habit that is now ingrained in me. The importance of forcing yourself to do things you don’t feel like doing.

#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.
