Burning More Fat DOES NOT mean losing more BODY FAT

You Can't Have it All [Lifespan vs Health span]

There is no human condition wherein you will be at peak form in multiple areas. Much like the idea of the generalist vs the specialist - your body can't be a specialist in all ways, and in the same vein, there is no diet that will be the "ultimate" diet that will help you achieve peak-ness in all areas. The discussion of lifespan vs health span is a great example of that, as well as the idea of growth and uncontrolled growth (cancer).

Fasting and Calorie Counting: Which stimulates Hunger Hormones? [Leptin, MSH, AgRP]

In this content, I dive into a study looking into three hunger related hormones and the effect water fasting and calorie counting have, in obese and lean individuals, on three hunger hormones - leptin, melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), and Aguiti Related Protein (AgRP). Does fasting stimulate these hormones or does calorie counting? Does obesity play a factor? Find out!
