There is so much information out there

But the thing is that thats so generalised and the messaging can really take away from the fact that these are actually really useful tools for some clients and it can make them resist the process if they believe the parrots

Alot of it is great

And it is fact like fasted cardio doesnt burn more fat or increase fatloss

Meal timing or carb timing doesnt matter

Carb cycling is useless

CARBS v FAT

Metabolic flexibility –

Burn more sugar VS burn more fat

VO2 max

This is also where stretching can play a role because a lot of these people are in high stress states which impacts all of this

How does muscle mass and training come into this and why would aerobic training be more beneficial to the overweight population

38 optimal

Over dieting and training

As we know with one of my girls who used fasted training, fasted carbio, i timed carbs and it improved her insulin sensitivity and blood siugar control, she reduced cravings & wasnt so hungry between meals and was able to do runs without tanking and is dropping body fat much easier with that

So lets talk about metabolic flexibility but more so why this is so important for those who have extra body fat especially

Then we can go into where fasted cardio comes in, timing carbs etc

But on the otherend to optimize training and body comp - we need to realise carbs fuel performance in the gym

So people who have alot of body fat to lose have no issue breaking down fat… thats not actually the problem,. The problem is actually in oxidizing that fat so maybe you can talk more on that and things you would consider and implement

How can building more mitochondria help anyone but especially the overweight person - how and why is cardio of more benefit for unfit & overweight people to implement so that they can see better results through training and the rest?

What are other benefits of working on metabolic flexibility

How can living in a highly sympathetic state impact yoru body in terms of mobility & movement, training & health - i know you are one for HRV markets - why is recovery so important

Can we talk about the importance of sleep in all of this & its role in metabolic health
