In today's episode of the Rodsquad podcast, we answered this question once and for all...
Is fruit a friend or foe? If you're trying to lose weight and shed body fat, do you have to cut out fruit?

Especially with the rise of low carb and ketogenic diets in recent years, we've seen this myth circulating and we're thrilled to set the record straight. You can and should eat fruit.

Rod also provides a list of top 5 favorite fruits that are also high in fiber to help you feel full and satisfied.

Rod compares eating to investing money in a way that will do more and get you a better result over time.

In order to achieve a total body fitness transformation, we have to be willing to sacrifice the present for the future. Whatever we decide to do, we must do it consistently over a long period of time to get and maintain results. And we have to be willing to bet on ourselves.

MYTH: My metabolism is broken because of my age and there's nothing I can do about it.
