Are adaptogens and nootropics legit??
Hi there, The algorithm is real! I am doing dry January and a 10 week cut focused on losing 5% body fat while gaining muscle. I have been seeing ads about adaptogens and nootropics as a wine/ cocktail replacement and I am wondering are these legit or a scam? Thanks for any advice!!
Question about Maintenance Calories
I just listened to your new episode on how to cut and I had a question about maintenance calories! If you successfully go through a fat loss phase with a calorie deficit, when you return to maintenance will your calories be the same as before your cut? Or will your post-cut maintenance calories be somewhat lower than your pre-cut maintenance calories since you would likely be trying to maintain a lower weight? I hope this makes sense! Thank you for all the work you put into this podcast and happy new year!
Fat Burning Zone
hi! In this week's episode you mentioned that the "fat burning zone" of cardio is a myth. I get that there is no magic spell for dropping fat with only cardio, and that there are generally better options for fat loss. I've always read that the optimal heart rate zone for calorie/fat burn is 65-75% of your max heart rate. Is there any truth to this?
“Zigzag” diet
Hi 👋🏼 what are your thoughts on zigzag dieting? Having a slightly different calorie goal each day of the week that brings you from maintnance down to a solid deficit and then back up every week. The idea is that it will keep your body from adapting into a plateau, while being in an overall deficit.
