In this episode, I'm tackling 11 of Google's most frequently asked fitness and nutrition questions. Offering some clarity and some much needed practical advice to enhance your fitness journey. Explaining the difference between prebiotics and probiotics, I debunk the myth that constipation causes weight gain, attributing any increase to water and stubborn stool, not fat. Detoxing? Save your time and money. Your body's a powerhouse; it knows how to clean house. Addressing fresh versus frozen produce, to the accuracy of fitness watches, they are good for heart rate and steps, but take those calorie burn readings with a grain of protein powder. Belly fat? No shortcuts, no spot reduction. It's an army of changes - resistance training, a solid diet, and plenty of sleep - that's how you sculpt those abs. We're also diving into protein intake recommendations, ways to track progress, workout duration, and tracking food intake. It's time to pump up your understanding and flex those knowledge muscles.

Each week, we're diving headfirst into the absolute circus that is healthy eating—fad diets, myths, and all the fitness nonsense. I'm here to cut through the crap, no sugarcoating, maybe a bit of oversharing, and, unfortunately, the odd bad pun.

This week's episode is all about—Muscle. Or, more precisely, building muscle. The pursuit of muscle is not just about appearance but about becoming the strongest version of yourself, irrespective of gender. It's about unlocking a whole level of benefits, including increased life expectancy, improved mood, mental health, confidence, and the prevention of injuries. Addressing the pitfalls such as inconsistency because you can't treat the gym like a one-night stand, neglecting progressive overload, and improper nutrition. Your body needs the right fuel, not junk. Protein is your foundation, your building block. It's like the blueprint for muscle construction. I'll be discussing common mistakes in muscle-building, including poor form, inadequate rest, and lack of tracking and planning. Proper hydration, rest days, the importance of sleep and the adverse effects of alcohol on muscle building.
