Well worth the 12 minutes to watch this video. I highly recommend watching - the two extremes are portrayed very accurately. Being somewhere in the middle and finding balance can be a very solid approach to health and fitness!

In this short video, Dr. John Berardi lays out all the benefits and tradeoffs of getting lean, so you can make an informed decision about what’s truly right for you—when it comes to your body, health, and lifestyle. Because it’s about getting what you want… but also figuring out how much you...

With an onslaught of gyms re-opening in the near future, remember to be kind to yourself if you have had an extended period away from weight training or from all training.

Two days ago I talked about how a caloric deficit is true but not necessarily helpful in a practical sense. It’s helpful in a conceptual manner though so you don’t fall for stupid magical fad diets or nonsense.

Remember that a caloric deficit means you’re burning more calories than taking in. By definition, you will be losing weight over time. So if you’re not losing weight on average over the course of 2-4 weeks... you’re NOT in a caloric deficit despite what the calculator said and despite your best efforts. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person or lazy or intentionally lying... it just means you’re not in a caloric deficit.

Keto? It’s not the difference in insulin that helps with weight loss. It’s the fewer calories you take in. Intermittent fasting? Fewer calories.

Now... there may be some “cherries on top” with some of these ways of eating, but 99% of it comes from the amount of calories you’re taking in versus burning.

YES!!

Ever feel like the body you want is always just out of reach?

Like you’ll never quite be lean, strong, fit, or healthy enough? Or that there’s always somebody “better” than you?⁣⁠

Here's the truth: everyone's comparing themselves to others. It's simply human nature.⁣⁠

So what can you do if you find yourself comparing your body to others, like that person in the gym who's rocking 6-pack abs, or your friends, or an Instagram influencer?⁣⁠

These three strategies can help.⁣⁠
