What is working in fat loss and health in 2026? Spoiler alert: it's nothing crazy and fancy.Since I stopped the podcast about three years ago, most of my coaching has been with men like me, in their late 30s, early 40s and 50s, who are trying to figure stuff out. There's not a lack of information. You just don't know how to use it.So this is my take, from being in the trenches helping people with weight loss, on what's working.In this episode:- GLP-1s: what happens when people stop, and the ones who are successful- 3-day food audits: calorie swings, protein and micronutrients- Calories as a daily budget- Alcohol: I'm not removing it- Strength training: three days is the bare minimum- AI tools to give you back time- Peptides?
