Talking about tips and tricks for protein. How to meet your protein goal. Why it matters so much. And a few special segments where we introduce you to some new foods, recipes, and people!

Christopher and I discuss a variety of winning strategies for incorporating “eating out” into your weight loss plan!    

Elisha, Chris, and myself talk about using MyFitnessPal. Everything from meal planning and recipe sharing to how to handle net-carbs with a Keto diet. We also plan a few days worth of meals, live — and Brian plans a days worth of meals that include eating out at a restaurant AND a donut for a snack! For those who are in the Weightix Facebook group, you can watch the live video-cast here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weightix/531369360390690/ Shout outs in the podcast to www.eatthismuch.com and www.skinnytaste.com  

Jamie and I spend the entire episode doing Q&A and frequently asked questions from the group of 100 people about to start the next weightix challenge.  We talk about protein, cheat meals, meal planning secrets, and MUCH more!

Christopher and I talk about what it’s like to do a Weightix Weight-Loss Challenge. Who should participate, what makes them fun, and what makes the Weightix approach special.

Today we’ve got 2 of my kids as guests on the podcast. 12-year-old Abby and 9-year-old Landon as they talk about the differences between Fat Dad of Old and Fit Dad of New — and how my weight loss journey impacted their own lives and their own meals.

Today we’re talking about what’s involved in moving from a keto plan to a traditional plan, and also what’s involved in going the other direction (going from traditional to keto).  What to expect, what’s different, and when you should consider making the switch.

Today we’re talking about the ‘traditional’ approach to weight loss (that’s a fancy way of saying, you can eat carbs and still lose weight). We’ll compare and contrast to keto, talk about the bio-chemical reasons carbs are not the enemy, and help you decide which approach is best for YOU!

Join me with guest Elisha Hayes as we go through the basics of the keto diet. What makes keto special? Is this the right approach for you? Great stuff in this one!!

Melanie and I talk about our favorite fitness gadgets of all time — as well as a few that probably aren’t worth buying.
