Eat To Perform Podcast

In this episode, Paul is joined by one of Eat To Perform's lead coaches, Crystal. The goal of this podcast was to talk about what you should expect when you get on hormones and why it won't ALL be positive from day one. (they also go over how weight loss works)

They also covered some of the negatives of weight loss medication, how to counter some of those issues and why or why not it might make sense for some people.

In this episode, Paul and Becky explain why ALL fat loss cycles need a defined period.

They also give various examples and how adding Weight Loss medication changes things (though both look very similar)

Alan is a former trainer and nutritionist who has worked with well-known clientele. He is likely better known for his research and his research review. Alan has written what I believe to be the bible of flexible dieting (basically what we do at Eat To Perform), and I have been a subscriber to his research review since 2008.

This is a great podcast that ultimately ended up being too short.

We covered a lot of ground in this hour, specifically on how to set goals and adjust them based on things OTHER than just weight loss (with a focus on fat loss). We also discussed how HRT and Weight Loss meds could fill a role for some and who should probably avoid it.

First we walk through what a TRUE bulk looks like, which this isn't and we typically don't do at Eat To Perform. The simple fact is most people don't want to gain 30-40 pounds to gain muscle and I literally can't recall anyone asking for that.

So while this isn't that Paul walks you through how to use a bit extra weight over the holiday's to train in a way that might carryover for the rest of your life as the best way to do it.

This was a lively session with a few questions. We went over whether or not Intermittent Fasting makes sense, how to use exercise when calories are higher and much more.

In this episode Paul and Becky walk you through AP cycles, why they exist and why we made a pretty drastic change a few years ago (and it made a BIG difference).

Paul is currently weaning off of Semaglutide and updates on the complications, how much he lost and considerations people should think about before signing up.

Next we talked about why and how Fat Loss cycles can upset your mental health and what we did to help with that. Also addressing the opposite where depression can get accelerated by eating more.

In this episode I talk about going onto weight loss medication. Why I think a lot of the information out there isn't empowering people for real change and what is the vision I have for Eat To Perform Health.

As we move into the fall people often switch to thoughts of putting the pieces back to together. In this episode Paul and Crystal take some Q&A but also give thoughts on the best way to do it including whether or not you are rushing it.
