Episode 43: How to Prevent Muscle Loss During Weight Loss Sep 07, 2011

Show notes

In order to successfully lose weight for good, we must be able to send signals to the body that food and nutrition is plentiful, while simultaneously convincing it that metabolism and energy is needed in order to gather and catch that food. If we succeed in this goal then we should be able to achieve lasting weight loss while simultaneously protecting our vital muscle mass.

In today's weight loss podcast, we cover the topic of keeping the body out of starvation mode because when the body enters into such a state, weight loss becomes virtually impossible!

Episode 39: High-Protein, Low-Carb Diet Review Jun 07, 2011

Show notes

The high-protein, low-carb diet is perhaps one of the most well known and recognizable diets in the world. Practically every experienced dieter has been on a high-protein, low-carb diet at some point in their life and many different diet programs are simply variations on this philosophy of eating. The High-Protein, Low-Carb Diet Gets a Name Although the high-protein, low-carb diet has been around for decades, Dr. Atkins, author of The Atkins Diet series of books, was the one to make this style of eating mainstream. In fact, most people who are following this philosophy of eating will often call their high-protein, low-carb diet an "Atkins Diet".

In this podcast, we will use the Atkins diet as an ambassador for the high-protein, low-carb diet philosophy as we go through the phases of his program and discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly associated with this program. The Reason Why the High-Protein, Low-Carb Diet Works Insulin is a hormone produced by our pancreas that causes our body to store calories as fat. As long as insulin is elevated, fat loss is difficult, if not impossible. Although both proteins and carbohydrates can cause your insulin levels to elevate, carbohydrates cause the largest elevations in this fat storing hormone. The purpose of high-protein, low-carb diets is to control insulin production in such a way that promotes fat loss while inhibiting appetite. For a simple rule on how to determine what foods are considered a carbohydrate, see our article Carbohydrates - A Quick Guide.

In this podcast, we will give a detailed critique of the high-protein, low-carb diet in order to help you dig out the golden-nuggets that you can apply to your life.

Episode 38: Barriers to Weight Loss May 31, 2011

Show notes

Helping people with weight loss is about finding their barriers to weight loss and helping them to devise a plan around those barriers. In today's podcast we accidentally cover this topic after we began discussing a question that Dr. Ray posted on Facebook. The question was...

"There are 2 people who are barriers to your healthy lifestyle...The first person is "You"...who is the 2nd person and why? (You must answer, you can not say that "I am the only person responsible"...is it your spouse, your kids, your boss, "the man", your lazy dog, your school, society as a whole? You must answer..."

The purpose of this question was not to turn us into people who blame others for our problems but to help us uncover our secret barriers to weight loss. As we force ourselves to answer this question, the real barriers to weight loss begin to materialize before our eyes. Once we recognize them, we can begin the work of accepting their existence and then devise systems and plans for eradicating or working around them. Don't Ignore Barriers to Weight Loss We live in a society that wants us to pretend that life is not difficult and that barriers do not exist if we think positive thoughts. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that life is sometimes complicated by barriers and obstacles. Devise Systems to Circumvent Barriers to Weight Loss Once we acknowledge our obstacles, the next step is to conspire against them by building systems within our lives to go around or over the walls. All too often barriers to weight loss lead to weight loss resistance, we look forward to bringing more tips and trick in future podcasts!

Show notes

Exercise is an essential part of any weight loss program and to maintain an exercise program you must be able to manufacture workout motivation on command! In fact, I would feel confident in saying that no weight loss attempt will enjoy long-term success if exercise is not a major part of the program.

In today's podcast, we will tackle the issue of how to motivate yourself to exercise, and equally important, how to find the workout motivation to virtually guarantee that you will never quit your exercise program... Why do we lose our workout motivation? In this audio podcast we tackle the 10 challenges to workout motivation thatA causes us to give up and turn to the couch for comfort! No more!

Episode 34: Should You Eat or Fast Before Exercise? Mar 08, 2011

Show notes

To eat or not to eat before exercise...that is the question. Should we exercise on an empty stomach? Should we eat before exercise to provide the energy needed to get a good workout?

Those on the "exercise while fasted" side of the argument suggest that exercising while fasted allows you to burn fat as soon as you start exercising. They suggest that if you exercise after eating then the body will have to burn the calories from the food you recently consumed before it will be able to burn away the gut and butt.

The other group thinks that fasting before exercise is nonsense. They believe that having a snack shortly before exercise will provide the energy needed to have a meaningful and effective workout. They argue that a calorie is a calorie and it doesn't matter if it's eaten before exercise or three hours later.

Both arguments seem logical. So who's right?

Admittedly we are some time away from being able to answer this question definitively, and when all is said and done I imagine that the final answer will be, "It depends". With that said, a recent study does add support in favor of the "exercise while fasted" argument.

In this study researchers fed subjects a high calorie/high fat diet to induce insulin resistance and weight gain. The subjects were assigned to one of three groups:

* Group 1: Control Group - Did Not Exercise * Group 2: Fasted Group - Did not eat before or during exercise * Group 3: Carb Group - Fed Carbohydrates before and during exercise

At the end of the study, the researchers unveiled some interesting insights. The fasted exercise group did not gain significant weight during the course of the study despite consuming 30% more calories than they needed and a diet composed of 50% fat.

The control group gained 3 kgs (6.6 lbs) and the carbohydrate group gained 1.4 kgs (3.08 lbs). They all ate similar diets and burned similar numbers of calories.

What Does It All Mean?

As I have suggested in past posts, exercise should be judged by how
