I asked my audience for their 15 most popular unanswered questions about how to lose fat or to gain muscle mass. The
00:00:06
first one, how do I lose weight fast? But you just answered that. Yeah. The second one is creatine is this
00:00:12
miracle thing that everybody should be taking. There's almost nothing creatine can't
00:00:16
do. Wow. Some statement. Our next question is about PCOS. What would you say to a woman struggling with
00:00:21
PCOS in terms of dietary prescription? That's a damn good question, man. Can I go into detail with this because a lot
00:00:28
of people are very misinformed about this stuff. The floor is yours. Okay. So, it's important to take an
00:00:34
evidence-based approach to diet, nutrition, training, supplementation because if you don't, then you end up
00:00:40
wasting a lot of time. So, let's start with protein. So, how much protein should I be eating to gain
00:00:45
muscle? What is your goal body weight? It's around 90. Take 90 and multiply that by there's
00:00:50
your protein target. What about calorie restriction? I've heard you say that 10 or 20% of your
00:00:55
calories can come from pretty much anything you want. Literally anything. So, I could eat McDonald's or something
00:00:59
and I could still lose weight theoretically. That's true. And this is reflected in
00:01:03
research along with diet breaks. That's one of the tactics that you can use for long-term adherence to a plan. And I'll
00:01:10
explain how. I also want to talk about the ketogenic diet, menopause, fasting, sugars, and
00:01:14
this that that always gets me, man. That that picture always gets me. Why? I used to drink heavily. I was
00:01:21
overworked and trying to be the best father and the best husband. I just needed to stop.
