Eat smarter...
New Years comes and gym memberships go up and we make resolutions to get in shape loose body fat or gain muscle mass. COVID is making getting shape even harder and going to the gym is more limited and more chancy, but here is news for you! Losing body fat and gaining muscle mass is more about food then anything else! People in both camps need to eat more and a lot more then they think, but eat the right food in larger quantities through out the day. Eating less calories is a 80’s concept that needs to be thrown in the trash and left in a landfill. You actually eat less you gain more body fat because your body goes into famine mode and saves every bit of fat you eat, especially this is true for Women. For some men that have higher amounts of estrogen from being obese this is true as well. Men that work out hard and don’t eat enough of the right food end up using all the muscle they are building for fuel. This is why they become so thin and wonder why they cant put on muscle mass. Your body is a machine and most don’t understand it so with these two podcast you will have a greater understanding.
