Should I do a detox of juice cleanse? 09/19/2022

Should I do a detox of juice cleanse? In short, no. Cleansing tends to bring out extreme opinions. But, as with most areas of nutrition (and life), rigidly clinging to any extreme position may blind us to some important information. The fact is, there can be many problems with detoxes and cleanses: Protein deficient Extremely low calorie Blood sugar swings GI tract dysfunction Restrictive eating and deprivation I prefer helping people build life-long skills and incorporate daily practices to improve their health, performance, and body composition without extreme (and unsustainable) things like detoxes and cleanses. /episode/index/show/c3ca3f60-18b8-4ccd-9b8a-8ba36fae80e2/id/24417414

Does Red Meat Cause Cancer? 09/13/2022

Does Red Meat Cause Cancer? Overall, the evidence from observational and experimental studies suggests that there is a link between eating red meat and an increased risk of cancer, especially colorectal cancer. However, it’s important to remember that observational studies can only show an association – they can’t prove that one thing causes another. And the evidence from experimental studies is not definitive either. In this episode we dive into the subject and look into the links in more depth. /episode/index/show/c3ca3f60-18b8-4ccd-9b8a-8ba36fae80e2/id/24358809

Is it possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? 08/30/2022

Is it possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? The simple answer is yes, it is possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. However, it should be noted that this requires a lot of dedication and consistency in training and diet. In most cases, those who are able to achieve this are already at a relatively lean bodyweight. If you are just starting out on your fitness journey, then it is likely that you will see better results by focusing on one goal at a time. For example, if your primary goal is to lose fat, then you would want to focus on creating a calorie deficit through diet and exercise. Once you have achieved your desired level of fat loss, then you can start to focus on adding muscle mass. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. If you are a beginner and have a lot of weight to lose, then you may be able to achieve both goals simultaneously. However, it is still recommended that you focus on one goal at a time to maximize results. The more experienced a lifter you are the more difficult this process becomes and you'll have to really start nailing down your nutrition, particular around training, as well as other fundamentals of wellbeing such as your sleep and stress management. /episode/index/show/c3ca3f60-18b8-4ccd-9b8a-8ba36fae80e2/id/24217458

Is it possible to stop tracking? 08/29/2022

In this mini podcast I discuss what the purpose of tracking should be and how to eventually stop tracking. /episode/index/show/c3ca3f60-18b8-4ccd-9b8a-8ba36fae80e2/id/24200220

Do I need to weight myself to keep on track? 08/29/2022

Do I need to weight myself to keep on track? It depends entirely on your situation. For some there may be potential benefit for weighing themsleves whereas, for others, it can lead to a cascade of negative emotions and disordered health behaviours. Here we provide some context and ask you to reflect on where you sit on the spectrum. /episode/index/show/c3ca3f60-18b8-4ccd-9b8a-8ba36fae80e2/id/24199845

Does training on an empty stomach burn more fat? 08/29/2022

Does training on an empty stomach burn more fat? Even though it is well established in the scientific community that fat oxidation increases during, as well as for a short time post, fasted cardio, over time, there doesn’t seem to be any particular differences in body composition. However, it’s important to note that there isn’t conclusive evidence on shorter-term effects. Here’s the takeaway: If you only do fasted cardio for the potential weight-loss benefits, it doesn’t seem to matter whether you’re fasted or fed so long as you’re in a calorie deficit at the end of the day. /episode/index/show/c3ca3f60-18b8-4ccd-9b8a-8ba36fae80e2/id/24199575
