Dr. Neal addresses Virginia's query about the efficacy of the 30/30/30 method, which involves consuming 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking, followed by 30 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise. He highlights the absence of specific studies on this regimen but acknowledges its potential for promoting movement and nutritious eating. Dr. Neal emphasizes the complexity of losing body fat, suggesting that it requires a more holistic approach involving consistent caloric control, cardiovascular activity, and strength training.

Quotes to ponder:

"Losing body fat is a bit more complicated than following a regimen like this. Trust me, I wish losing body fat was this simple!"

"Being consistent is what will convince the body that you’re serious about losing body fat."
