If you're as confused as most of us about nutrition; what should I eat? When should I eat it? How much should I be eating? Then this podcast episode is for you. What an episode this was! We had special guest Dr Harrison Weisinger on this week, who not only happens to be a cycling enthusiast, but really specialises in helping both the general public and athletes with their nutrition for weight loss and performance.

In this episode Dr Weisinger breaks down: Where you need to start when thinking about nutrition and weight loss An exact meal plan that is successful for both weight loss and improved athletic performance How to make sure you stick to your diet The 3 key factors that determine your success with your weight Exploring the Ketogenic process you should be putting your body through Why using an "extreme" method isn't actually as extreme as you think And as always, a whole lot more!
