  • Calories In Calories Out, Insulin, and Fat Loss/Gain: WTGGT- Episode 53

    Welcome to a very special episode of WTGGT with hosts Sean Cate and Adam Girard, and a very special guest, PhD student and friend Trace Cruz. Todays episode settles some confusing and inaccurate thoughts about how we gain or lose weight specifically in the form of body fat. Trace helps settle the score for Adam and Sean's differing perspectives on how best to lose fat, and what times of diets produce different results on a biological level. Give it a listen if you are interested in learning more and dispelling some myths about how adiposity (body fat) is gained and losses from a scientific point of view, as well as practical ways to deal with excess body fat.

    As always, stay tough out there. You #mothertoughers.
