Eat To Perform Podcast

Lots of great information on this one, we spoke on a number of topics including why when your calories are lowest it affects your sleep so much. We talked about a lot of stuff including his wildly popular Stronger by Science podcast and I asked the question "Why is Science losing in this social media landscape?"

We actually recorded this last week and Paul talked about being 16 pounds down (now 17)and the process he is using to do that. Then Paul and Suzie go over the advantages of having a custom plan but not to be over reliant that it will solve all problems.

A lot of ground got covered in this episode but some of the highlights were the differences between illegal testosterone usage and prescribed amounts. But it was much more than that. Gil is a matter of fact talker and really just dropped a lot of science bombs along the way. If you are a man you HAVE to listen to this, if you are woman its also great information to have.

First let me say that all of these are marked explicit but this is a particularly explicit one, so keep that in mind, especially as we get into the main topic. We covered a road rage scare, walked you through the breadcrumbs members see in their files and then....We went over the real reason why you keep signing up for things and hoping for the side effect when you would be better off buckling dow...

The main topic was supposed to be a discussion on weighing yourself daily but Paul's update on his adjustments during his mini cut took up a lot of the time. Both topics are likely to be very interesting to most listeners who have ever failed at dieting and just quit because it was too hard.

People often wonder why I have cohosts since I talk so much, this episode shows why. I think the content is great but we had various distractions that are difficult to deal with. So suffer through that stuff because the content is that good. So this podcast is about two week mini cuts using intermittent fasting. This basically allows you to be more aggressive and pushes the uncomfortable part to t...

The topic at hand was how to lose a significant amount of fat and the approach you need to take from a practical and strategy standpoint. Then we got into what happens after you reach your goal and that is how the title of this podcast happened.

What HRV devices are introducing to people is that they aren't over trained, they are often under slept. This episode focuses on those ideas and then also builds in a few strategies along the way. The biggest of which is that that fat loss is often a product of not just weight lost but muscle kept (since muscle is not fat).

I took the first example from a conversation I had with a client that wanted to lose 2 pounds a week (for a total of 40 pounds) and walked through that example. The second part of the podcast goes into the history of MANY bizarre decisions from Crossfit HQ including the decision this week to delete their FB and IG accounts.

ETP Coach Suzie Glassman and I walk over why what people want from a diet (a linear path) actually is the EXACT reason most people fail when dieting.

Let's face it, detours suck but what if you could still make progress when you can't make it to the gym. In this episode we talk about injuries but also life stress and how to stay on track when life doesn't play fair.

Most people think that the secret to dieting is being super strict or eating very low. The most important part of any dieting cycle is how you were eating before you started eating less and what the plan is to normalize things once you done. We end the podcast with how you would view this if you have a significant amount fo weight to lose.

ETP Coach Suzie Glassman and founder Paul Nobles walk you through the five most important things to reach your goals. The list is different than the standard advice and once you listen, you will see why.

In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan podcast Joe has on Stephan Guyenet and Gary Taubes to debate why obesity happens. We cover a lot of topics on this episode but about half way in I talk about why chronic dieters are more susceptible to obesity and why we believe obese clients when they say they are not over consuming constantly.

In this episode Dr. Brad, Eat To Perform Lead Coach Suzie Glassman and Founder Paul Nobles walk you through the first book we have published in 4 years. We talk about why we wrote the book, who it's for and why it's so completely different than anything else out there.

From a historical perspective dieting is still in it's infancy. Sure people managed their weight before formal dieting started and quick fixes are not new. That said, the way we all consume information now has changed and so bad ideas spread faster. Dr. Brad walks you through how we got here and what comes next.

The idea was to talk about when to scale and adjust volume down but we got derailed in talking about reaching long term goals with just about anything. Some of the discussion was related to sobriety and the similarities and differences between alcohol and food.

What actionable steps make the most difference for clients? After dealing with over 200,000 clients over the last 6 years these were the 10 things we found that people benefitted from the most.

There is a difference between "getting a workout in" and changing so that your body performs better and looks different. That's what this podcast was about.

After last weeks podcast both Meredith and I started reading Atomic Habits and we both noticed that we already had some of these things going in on our lives, sometimes for years.

Most people don't have a calorie problem, their habits often add up to inconsistency in other areas of their life and then they end up in the McDonald's Drive thru by the end of the day. In this podcast our senior coaches walk you through how to build new habits but maybe more importantly break older and destructive ones.

The diet industry has a dirty little secret, it's not all that successful for almost everyone and I am including all the new versions that dominate your social media feed. The reason is simple, their business model is failure and that is what I believe is the primary driver for the obesity epidemic we are facing. No one has any idea what "not dieting" (all of the time) looks like. That's what this...

In this episode Dr. Brad walks you through what a "bad metabolism" really is and why the not dieting period is more important than the dieting period.

The foundation of Eat To Perform is what this podcast is about, we call that Performance/Recomp. Basically the period of time where you are building muscle and not dieting. It's the not dieting part no one focuses on and it's that part that makes any diet more successful. Yet no one focuses on this part but we stubbornly keep up with this message because it happens to be the most important concept...

Fasting is becoming a popular topic recently for both good and bad reasons. We walk you where it could be a good fit and where it could potentially be deadly.
