Some Thoughts About The Weight Loss Drug Ozempic (Semaglutide)

2024-08-16T18:33:46-04:00By |Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

Over the last few years, I've received numerous questions about the weight loss drug Ozempic (Semaglutide) but I never wrote about it before except in brief emails or social media replies. Since this topic has started coming up here in the Burn the Fat Inner Circle, I thought it was finally time to at least make a short post sharing what I know and think about the drug from the perspective of a fitness professional...

About “Fat Burning Recipes”…

2024-07-26T15:44:01-04:00By |Food & Nutrition, Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

Today I want to share another classic fat burner. No, no, not fat burner supplement pills – those things are worthless! Total rip off! I completely debunked and destroyed the fat burner supplement myth in a previous blog. Today what I’m talking about is classic “fat burning” recipes. But what do I mean by "fat burning recipes?" And is there really even such a thing as "fat burning recipes" or "fat burning foods?"

Fat Burners Don’t Work And Here’s The Science That Proves It

2024-04-05T12:02:06-04:00By |Supplements, Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

Ever been curious if any fat burners are really backed by science. If so, and if you could only read one research paper to get the answer, it would be this one: “Comparing the effectiveness of fat burners and thermogenic supplements to diet and exercise for weight loss and cardiometabolic health.” This study was published in the scientific journal Nutrition And Health. (Clark et al 2021). I'll summarize it for you in 3 minutes...

Consistency Secrets: How To Stick To Your Diet And Training Plan

2024-03-21T14:41:23-04:00By |Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

So many people struggle to stay consistent with their diet, training, or both... they start, stop, start, stop without getting any real momentum or pulling together any kind of extended streak. I recently surveyed our group members who have been consistent for a year or more about how they did it... I took this list of real world strategies and combined it with what research says about sticking to a diet or training plan. The result is like a "blueprint for consistency"...

Keeping It Off: Is Maintaining Weight Loss Mostly Mental?

2024-02-23T19:14:37-05:00By |Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

Losing weight only to gain it all back sucks. But unfortunately, within a year or so, it happens to at least 80% of dieters. Why do 80% fail? And how do the 20% succeed? Weight loss researchers have studied this and diet and exercise guidelines for weight loss maintenance have been widely published. But what about mindset? Is it possible that the mental side of maintenance is more important than the physical? Read on and find out what science says about it...

The Myth Of 1 Thing

2024-01-26T09:25:08-05:00By |Health, Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

I'm sure you've seen ads like this before: "Cut out this 1 food group and watch the pounds melt away." Why do we see ads like these so often? Because advertisers know they work. They hit a psychological hot button. Harsh truth: There's no 1 thing that's going to transform your body and health. If it were that easy, no one would be obese. No one would have type 2 diabetes. No one would have heart disease.

“You Can’t Out Train A Bad Diet” Doesn’t Mean “Training Doesn’t Work For Weight Loss”

2023-09-07T16:20:53-04:00By |Exercise & Fitness, Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

"You can't out train a bad diet." Basically, this trite saying is trying to convey the idea that if you don’t control your food intake and balance it with your activity, so you sustain a caloric deficit, you won’t lose weight regardless of how much you exercise. Re-stated this way, in the context of energy balance, I don’t think anyone would disagree. However, I'm here to explain how this phrase has gone wrong...

What if your goal was fat loss and you did an hour a day of low-intensity cardio. Would that be a good idea compared to higher intensity cardio with much shorter workouts?  What if you did 90 minutes, or even (gasp) TWO HOURS a day of low intensity cardio?  What about that?  Bad? Total overkill? Or could that be a secret key to losing fat fast that most people never use because it's too time consuming?  What if you had the time? For the answer to this unusual question, read on.
