In the middle we get into a lengthy discussion about coming back to fitness after time off, some of it without working out but mostly with and just changing your routine. A stop and go is where you do a fat loss, cycle, long pause and resume later. Always interesting around the holiday's.

Let's face it, most of us make meal planning harder than it needs to be. I have never met a group of ninjas better than the meal preppers we have on staff. Here are their suggestions on making your life easier.

I have to be honest, I never know how good or bad these are but we walked through Meredith's Fat Loss phase to talk about why you might need to gain a little weight to get as lean as you might like. So I felt like this was a good one.

A lot of us have been down the good food versus bad food path and it left us a little broken (including Meredith and I). In this episode we talk about that experience and making food an ally in your journey.

People invest a lot of mental energy into Body Fat tests but are they reliable and how should you mentally approach the information?

There is a lot of conjecture on insulin, so much so that there has been research going on for years and luckily we have one of those researchers on staff to give you what you need to know.

The first half of the podcast we talk about summer parades and Mardi Gras and in the second half of the podcast we get into focusing for the best amount of progress with whatever protocol you are doing and adjusting to find what you love.

Today's discussion was about low intensity and how to use that (and sometimes not)to reach your goals.
