Chronic Calorie Cutting Craziness

I've been fortunate enough to stem from what I would say is the best Coaching tree in the world, in the field of strength, conditioning and nutrition.   Here's my tree in no particular order: Louie Simmons - Founder of Westside Barbell, the strongest gym in the world Jay Butler - 20 year strength Coach in D1 and NFL, named D1 strength Coach of the year John Meadows - Bodybuilding guru, top Coach for IFBB pros Scott Abel - If ever there was a PhD in bodybuilding, it would be Scott.  He was my first ever Coach Charles Poliquin - Legend in the field, worked with thousands of professional athletes as well as Olympians In today's episode, I cover one key SECRET that I learned from each of these great Coaches and mentors of mine.   This episode is short, but there's gold in here if you listen.   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - My new Ripped Dads book is coming out on Halloween.  Shoot me a text if you'd like the early bird link. 908-229-6666

In this special edition episode, I sat down with my long time, old friend, Mayhem.   Mayhem and I became boys back in highschool and although we have been busy with the roads that life has took us down, it was great to chat and catch up.   Mayhem is a comedian, formerly working on the old, but famous, Opie and Anthony show.   In this episode, we hit such a wide range of topics, including Mayhem's experience with fasting and fitness, as someone that has been overweight his entire life, to various conspiracies and chasing after your dream and what it takes to achieve that dream.   This is a long one, but a great one! Enjoy!

Over the weekend, I was talking with Devon about our sons, Braxton and Colty.  They are both very good athletes with a lot of potential.   And being that I have a unique background in the field of athletics, I was pointing out a few anomolies on Braxton that most people would never even notice.   Running with that idea, I thought I would share with you, today, what we can take from the example of Braxton and apply to our own health and strength to give us a better shot and living a quality life, longer.   Take a listen and let me know what you think.  Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you want more insights on what I teach and how I live, feel free to join my FREE What'sApp group, there's a lot of great ideas floating around in there: The World's #1 Fasting mmunity    

Begin with the assumption that cutting calories is the way to go when it comes to your weight and health... Then destroy that assumption.   In this episode, I lay out why that path is perhaps the worst idea that is still rampant in health and fitness.  If you gave most fit pros truth serum, they'd tell you the same thing. They don't tell you because there is a huge lack of expertise when it comes to proper eating and nutrition.   They only know calories and macros and when that fails, well then, it must be your fault.  You didn't have enough will power or discipline.   Sure, that's gotta be the reason so many people fail at caloric deficit diets, the way they are currently structured.   Take a listen if you want to gain some clarity around the topic.   By the way, I have a FREE What'sApp group with a lot of great info and there is a link to a weekly live lesson/teaching I'll be doing, beginning tonight, on Panda Man TV!  Here's the link to join the group for free:  https://chat.whatsapp.com/IRO90L5z29f4M8ggucmpYN?mode=r_t   Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - If you think you're a great canditate for my personal Coaching, feel free to shoot me a text at 908-229-6666  

Most people aren't clear on why they train or what training quality they are attempting to train.  IN today's episode I go over the training qualities that I believe are the pillars of training, including: strength, strength endurance, hypertrophy, isometric, power and mobility.  If you keep doing the same old, you'll get the same old results.   Plus, I give one powerful mindset insight at the end of the episode that if used appropriately, has the ability to change your life in an amazing way!   Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Your health and wellness is too important to just blindly follow the 'science'.   You must use observation, real world experience and intuition to find out what works for you.   The science has been laid out for us when it comes to health, yet we are over 50% obesity as a population.   Science tells you it's all about calories in and calories out, yet that fails 99% of the time.  Where is the 'science' when it comes to the results?  Crickets.   Did you ever stop to think about who is funding the studies? Usually, the more highly educated in the formal sense a person is, the more indoctrinated they and they don't even realize it.  They are parrots, repeating what was told to them and you're damned if you don't believe them or if you ask them a question.   Keep an open mind, empty your cup and remember, belief is enemy of knowing.     Be Unconventional, Kyle aka Panda Man P.S. - My 5 Week Busy Moms Challenge begins in less than a week.  If you or someone you know has been struggling and failing with the mainstream science in fitness, health and nutrition, then you are not going to want to miss this opportunity!

Last week I got to sit down with Anthony and Tereza Lolli of Biohack Yourself Media.  They have 5 big documentaries out on Prime, including one that I just started called The Guru.   It all began during COVID when Anthony decided that enough was enough, he was going to transform his body.   His inspirational journey inspired millions around the world and led to him and Tereza becoming massive influencers in the world of health and fitness.   Their company is the media company for the MAHA movement.   If you are sick and tired of the Western Medical establishment, then you need to follow what they are doing because it's all about true healing and health, i.e.- biohacking your health.   You can follow them both on IG @anthonylolli and @terezalolli.  They also have @biohackyourselfmedia.   It was so great to chat with them and remember, success leaves clues and these two are massively successful!

Technical issue is NOW fixed   Energy is very misunderstood when it comes to the human body and how your body produces it.  Specifically, people want to know how to burn energy, i.e.-body fat.   For most in the field, it's a complete mystery, so they always resort to one type of energy, calories.   But, if you've done cardio to 'burn fat', you'll know that it doesn't quite work that way.  In today's episode, I field a few questions around this topic that can hopefully save you some time and answer some questions when it comes to fat loss.   Enjoy!
