Deep dives
Obesity rates tripled in one generation
In just one generation, from 1987 to 2021, obesity rates in the country have tripled. This staggering increase highlights the ongoing obesity epidemic and the urgent need to address this issue.
Weight Watchers partners with GLP1 program
Weight Watchers (now known as WW) has partnered with the GLP1 program experience, which incorporates GLP1 agonists and other medications for weight loss. This collaboration aims to provide additional tools and support to individuals seeking to lose weight and improve their health.
The benefits and considerations of GLP1 agonists
GLP1 agonists have been shown to reduce appetite, support weight loss, and improve various health markers. However, it's crucial to pair their use with a balanced diet and exercise to prevent muscle loss and maintain long-term weight management.
The potential impact of obesity on society
The tripled obesity rates in just one generation highlight the urgent need to address this issue. With a majority of the population being affected by obesity, it could impact various aspects of society, including healthcare costs, productivity, and overall well-being.
Importance of Monitoring Main Ideas
Monitoring key points and main ideas is crucial to ensure progress during a reverse diet. Look for signs such as improved energy, increased strength in the gym, and a tighter and more sculpted physique. Weighing oneself is not necessary; instead, focus on how you feel and the positive changes you observe.
Understanding Protein Intake
It is common for people to misunderstand protein intake, thinking that the weight of meat consumed is equal to the protein content. However, this is not the case. For example, 100 grams of chicken breast does not contain 100 grams of protein. It is important to use a food calculator or app to accurately track protein intake and ensure you are meeting your dietary goals.

#Quah question #1 - I’m on a reverse diet. I do not want to weigh myself because it messes with my mind. How do I know my metabolism is improving? (58:33)
#Quah question #2 - Was listening to some old episodes and the protein recommended was .5-.7 grams per pound. When and why did that change to 1 gram per pound? (1:00:34)
#Quah question #3 - Hearing people say they eat a lot of grams of protein and when I ask about portions, it seems low. Do you think a lot of people don’t realize that 100g chicken breast isn’t 100g protein? I’ve come to realize a lot of people have misconceptions. (1:02:56)
#Quah question #4 - Is it a good idea to do a deloading week after each phase of a workout plan? (1:08:13)
