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 podcast was about.

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 as it relates to fat loss over time.

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.

This is a deep dive of the most important concept in dieting. Diets are only effective when you weren't dieting BEFORE you started dieting. One way to know you are on a REALLY BAD diet is if they don't up your calories at some point. This podcast is about that and that is what separates us from the pack allowing you to have more will when you need it and defined times to start and end.

This is the first of a 2 part series we are doing on what we call the "adaptation prevention" phase, reversing and ultimately recomping (build muscle, not fat). Paul walks you through a lot of the pitfalls people make and helps you think differently about the approach as food normalizes, workouts improve and life gets back to normal.

Our children get a lot of information related to diet even at a very young age. Meredith talks about an experience with her 10 year old daughter and Paul talks about his 17 and 18 year old daughters, both of which are vegetarians and have been vegetarians for years.

This is technically for the first 20 days of fat loss but gives tips and tricks to manage things better. Great Q&A at the end

The main emphasis on this podcast was to talk about how people use advice from trainers wrong. Weight lifting as an example should correct problems you may. We covered a lot of ground because there were a lot of topics that came up.
