#Quah question #1 - If I don't care how long it takes for me to reach my weight loss goals (-15lbs of fat), how long should my cut/reverse diet cycles be? (57:00)

#Quah question #2 - I know you mention eating whole foods which is something I strive for and tell my clients to aim for. However, it feels like this then causes categories of food to be eliminated. (Ex. - gluten, bread, pasta flour - Not wholefoods. Same with Dairy.) What falls under the umbrella of “whole” natural foods according to you guys? (1:00:42)

#Quah question #3 - Can you mix creatine in with things ahead of time, such as in your overnight oats? (1:07:07)
