Ep 24: Daily - Long Term Weight Loss - Why Walking More and More Will Not Help
If I all of a sudden just take up walking like a madman and walk all day, am I going to cover my exercise requirements? Will I get significantly leaner? The answer is… kind of. We cover the research and findings in today’s episode.

Ep 23: Daily - Long Term Weight Loss - Energy Flux Concept - Low vs High - Adherence
What is the #1 key to long term weight loss? Our argument is that it’s exercise and even more specifically is looking at the concept of energy flux. Can you pull more energy through the system. And based on the research… is that it’s going to be beneficial. How does this relate to exercise programming and adherence? How can we make it easier for you or the client to win? We cover this in today’s show.

Ep 22: Daily - Long Term Weight Loss - The misunderstood role of muscle and calories burned
What are one of the misunderstood keys to long term weight loss? If you look at the statistics, most people are good at achieving short term weight loss but they’re horrible at maintaining it. In the fitness world, I see an over focus on calories - and yes while calories do matter - there are different states related to flux and even more different components of that. We’ll cover this in detail on today’s show.

Ep 21: Daily - Long Term Weight Loss - Why Exercise and not just cut calories?
This week, we’re talking about a concept called g-flux. The first time I heard about this was from Dr. John Berardi in the early 2000s. G-Flux represents the relationship between the amount of energy you ingest through your diet and the amount of energy you burn through the sum total of your metabolic activity. With G-Flux, physiology can be profoundly changed – regardless of the energy-balance state or that input-output number. We’ll go through all of this on today’s episode.
