Today, we're continuing to discuss the training study that I helped with and was the subject of in Costa Rica. Dr. Ben House, Dr. Tommy Wood, and many other people put their lives on hold for a week to go down to the jungle and lift and sweat in the name of science, which was awesome. Thank you so much to all the participants for doing it. We would not be able to run any type of study without thei...

One of the big things that jumped out to me was that almost everyone in the study (again, I'm being vague a little bit on purpose because I haven't seen all the raw data. And, as I said, we're in the process of publishing this. So I can talk more specifically about my own data) But in general, most of the people got better at the accessory lifts during the study. If you remember from the episode y...

If I all of a sudden just take up walking like a madman and walk all day, am I going to cover my exercise requirements? Will I get significantly leaner? The answer is… kind of.

What is the #1 key to long term weight loss? Our argument is that it’s exercise and even more specifically is looking at the concept of energy flux. Can you pull more energy through the system. And based on the research… is that it’s going to be beneficial. How does this relate to exercise programming and adherence? How can we make it easier for you or the client to win? We cover this in today’s s...

What are one of the misunderstood keys to long term weight loss? If you look at the statistics, most people are good at achieving short term weight loss but they’re horrible at maintaining it. In the fitness world, I see an over focus on calories - and yes while calories do matter - there are different states related to flux and even more different components of that. We’ll cover this in detail on...

This week, we’re talking about a concept called g-flux. The first time I heard about this was from Dr. John Berardi in the early 2000s. G-Flux represents the relationship between the amount of energy you ingest through your diet and the amount of energy you burn through the sum total of your metabolic activity. With G-Flux, physiology can be profoundly changed – regardless of the energy-balance st...

Let’s just jump right into the last protein myth of the week. I’m going to cover some very interesting, massive, protein overfeeding studies where they’ve tracked the effects of consuming a high protein diet for body composition.

We’re covering another zombie myth of protein that just won’t die today. Now it appears that protein itself is considered a negative thing in some circles. Yikes. I was at the ancestral health society meeting this past August presenting - it was super fun. One of the presenters was doing a talk about how we should be consuming very low amounts of protein which I do not necessarily agree with. A lo...

One of my favorite shows on TV, other than Seinfeld which most of my students don’t even know existed… which is crazy, was MythBusters. Myth #3 is “as you age, you need less protein. This is false. From studies that we’ve seen, your protein needs actually go up as you age because of anabolic resistance. Listen to this show to learn more and good luck trying to convince mom and dad to change their...

Too Much Protein Will Damage Your Kidneys? For the average healthy person listening in, this is not true. You need to understand the difference between “work” and “damage”. It is true that if you have more protein coming in, your kidneys will do more work but that’s not a bad thing. Listen in to learn more about this myth that just won’t die. Visit www.flexdiet.com.
