Eat more quality food, not less. "Eat more quality food, not less" is a key message in the podcast transcript. The host, Coach Clarence, discusses the common misconception that eating only 1,200 calories is necessary for weight loss. He explains that this theory originated in the early 1900s but is not sustainable or suitable for everyone. Coach Clarence emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all diet and that super low-calorie diets can lead to struggles with hunger, cravings, and imbalanced hormones. He also highlights the ease of overeating on a 1,200-calorie diet if individuals are not tracking their macros or aware of portion sizes. To illustrate this point, Coach Clarence provides examples of high-calorie meals that can easily exceed 1,200 calories, such as a whole pizza with two beers or a gourmet burger with fries and cola. He emphasizes that it is crucial to focus on the quality of food rather than restricting calories. According to Coach Clarence, some indivi...

Calories IN Calories OUT. WTF is the Truth?  WTF is a calorie?   Simply put . . . it is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water one degree celcius.  Geez, thanks Coach Clarence I am good now,  watch the weight fall off (eye roll ensues). Energy is heat production.  Whenever muscle contracts to initiate movement, heat is being generated, thus calories are being burned. If you were to measure your temperature right now, you would probably be in the vicinity of 98.6 degrees. Your body maintains heat on an ongoing basis, and since a calorie is a measure of heat production, it correlates to the amount of energy a food provides. I know you are thinking what does that mean to me?  When the number of calories that you take in equals the number of calories that you expend in energy, you are maintaining an energy balance and your weight will not fluctuate very much. Conventional "diet wisdom" (a contradiction in terms) dictates that if you cut b...

The first thing many people go to when they think of losing weight is “cardio”--- otherwise known as aerobic exercise. You know, you exercise vigorously by riding fast on a bike or going out for a run, and that makes you breathe harder, increase the uptake of oxygen, and your heart beats faster. The oxygen uptake is the aerobic part and the increased heartbeat is the “cardio” part.  That’s old news. Yes, aerobic exercise can have some effect on weight loss when combined with wisely selected dietary intake. But it can backfire on you. Cardio, or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, is only one of the pieces of a more complicated puzzle, and if you miss the bigger picture, you will miss your goal.  What can go wrong? Many women make the mistake of undereating and overdoing cardio! If you exercise aerobically, beyond your body's ability to provide regular fuel, the body reaches into muscle tissue and as you lose weight, you lose muscle!  By losing muscle through excessive...

  You have most likely heard about “Keto” unless you’ve been living under a rock. Or have you heard you need to be in a state of Ketosis in order to get into a state where significant ketone bodies are being produced and are actively traveling in your bloodstream. It’s how you   burn fat, right?   Basically, grab a fat piece of protein add butter or saturate it with a heavy dose of oil and “voila,” repeat all day and boom watch the magic happen. I know we live in the cancel culture and for some I just got canceled. I know some people are actively making money on the keto phenomenon. And some people are just into their feelings about it. First, I don’t do good or bad, I work with the science and let you decide. I have no stake in the keto game WHAT IS THE KETO DIET? We live in a polarized society, on one side Trumper’s, on the other side Biden boys and girls.    Its no different in fitness ask one “expert” and he or she will tell you the best way to g...
