Show Notes

You can train six days a week and still not lose fat and it’s not your fault.

For decades, we’ve been told to “move more and eat less,” but that advice doesn’t hold up anymore. Our food system has completely changed, and so has the way our metabolism responds to it. Ultra-processed foods are everywhere; cheap, convenient, and biologically addictive and they are undoing the work we put in at the gym. Once you understand that fat loss is driven by what you eat, not how hard you work out, you can finally start working with your body instead of against it.


Stick around, this one might change how you think about fat loss forever.
