Short Workouts, Simple Habits and Faster Fat Loss
|
Hola from S Padre Island as you fav nerd work up today and opted to kiteboard before the storm. I am soooo thankful for the ability that body still works really well at 52 years old as I can send the kite to float up to 18 feet and land 175 feet later. Wahoo! To help you crush all your goals, I have a great podcast here today as I sit down with Harley Pasternak, MSc nutritionist, celebrity personal trainer, and five-time New York Times best-selling author. Does getting in shape really require longer workouts and more fitness data? Tune in as we discuss short strength sessions, practical nutrition, daily steps, sleep, and the simple habits he prioritizes over fitness trends. We get into building trust around food choices, fitting strength training into busy film schedules, designing practical gyms, and making healthy habits easier to repeat. We also discuss fitness-data overload, supplements, and nutrition considerations for clients taking GLP-1 medications. The film-role transformation story is a specialized, medically supervised anecdote—not a weight-loss protocol to copy.

I caught Roscoe the raccoon, our overcaffeinated Iron Intern, attempting to consume 1,000 grams of carbs yesterday. In one day. That's 4,000 calories from carbohydrates alone. The little furry bastard had assembled a buffet that looked like Costco had been robbed by a gang of competitive eaters. Rice. Potatoes. Cereal. Honey. Enough pasta to bankrupt an Olive Garden. He then proceeded to tell me that the YouTooooobes via my friends Ali Gilbert and Luke from Muscle Nerds said to put rice...
Hola from South Padre, TX, where your favorite nerd is here to rescue your poor, abused carbohydrates from the nutritional prison industrial complex. Somewhere along the way, the fitness industry convinced everyone that carbs are Beelzebub himself and must the avoided to save your metabolism (and sell more diet books). Bread? Evil! Potatoes? Straight to your love handles of course. Rice? Might as well just mainline glucose you addict. Meanwhile, you're dragging your carcass through leg day...
Hola from South Padre Island, where your favorite nerd has been neck-deep in research on one of bodybuilding's most infamous chemical cocktails. Clenbuterol. Ahhhh yes. The legendary fat-burning, muscle-building drug that promises to turn your body into a shredded Greek statue while your mitochondria throw a rave. At least that's what the internet GooRoos would have you believe. But are the claims of this non-FDA approved drug true? I went digging through the actual human research, including...
