What's up guys, it's Sam and Taylor, and we want you to put your shoes on, pop open that energy drink, and go. What is up guys, we're back with another episode. Guys, this one is so exciting. Okay, the topic is informative, but what we're going to talk to you guys about right now is just funny because if you listened to our last episode, our life kind of switched. We are different people now. We're different people. Yeah, no, anxiety gone, I can drink.
All the goodies. Yeah. There's a man in the picture. I really hope he doesn't listen to this. They're going to listen to this. Yeah. And I also hope his mouth is better than his mouth. A hundred percent. They're going to walk to the gym listening to this on Friday. Stop. Guys, no. Taylor, you can't say that. Why? The people listening are just going to show up to lift. We have to be more top secret.
You said he's from the gym. They know what gym we go to. Maybe he's just gone once. Maybe they don't live here. Maybe he has a day pass. So he walks to a different gym. Yeah. All right, guys. You know, for real. We'll be blatant honest, okay? Me and Taylor were at the gym on a Friday, and I was shoulder pressing, mid-shoulder press. Taylor's, like, lifting the weight down onto me, and this man in front of me just starts doing pull-ups. And it was my first time seeing him, and I was like...
Oh my God, I'm so distracted. I could not get the weight up. Like I couldn't take it serious. We had a heavy weight. We were doing progressive overload like five by five. And I was on like what the third set. Yeah, we were like deep into it. I was like deep into it. And like my energy was, I was preserving my energy, but when I saw him in front of me,
I had to like re-rec the wait and I got up, stood up and I go, I cannot fucking focus right now. I'm so distracted. Right. This is on camera. Yeah. It was, it was on camera because she was recording her set. So it full on happened on camera. And then. You mentioned how you were on TikTok. Oh,
Oh, yeah. So I was on TikTok live and I was so embarrassed because I don't care about filming in the gym. But obviously there was this whole incident. Sam was like, cute boy. So then like whatever. And I'm on TikTok live. It's like propped up on a stool. Like I'm very much like filming.
And he like walks behind it and like purposely walks like behind the camera to like dodge it. And I'm like, well, I just ruined everything because he's like these stupid people on TikTok. I was like, oh, no, embarrassing. And then I was like, okay, she's definitely going to talk to this boy. So we'll turn off the live. So if you were on that live and I was just like.
Okay, bye. Bye, guys. That's why. So, whatever. We continued to do our thing. And I think it was, like, when we were re-racking our weight, I was... So, he was at the machine next to us. And in between the two machines, there's a rack for the weights. So, I'm re-racking the weights. And he, like, looks at me. I'm re-racking. Keep in mind, I'm re-racking my weights. And he looks at me and goes, are you using that weight? And that's when the conversation started. And we, you know...
Fast forward, we went out with him later that night to like a bar, whatever. I went out and drank, you know, not like me, but I, you know. And she had a good time, ladies and gentlemen. And then we invited them out a second time. Oh, wait, you just said them. Oh, shit. I invited him out a second time. God, I'm so mad. And, you know, we've been just vibing, vibing very well. They're cool. I mean...
He's a cool guy. Guys, Sam has a date tonight. I have a date tonight. Okay, guys, fast forward. It's Wednesday. Sam has a date tonight. I am going to go scooter and watch and make sure I see it go down because I'm going to be so interested. I'm going to be texting her like, what are you doing? How is it? What are you doing? What are you doing? I can't wait. I'm so excited and just...
Yeah, it's gonna be great. Talking to you guys about this is so funny. So yeah, we are, you know, we drank twice in one week. You did. Yeah, I drank twice in one week, which is so unlike me. Like I said, I have been avoiding alcohol because of my panic attacks. Haven't had one. I've been feeling good. Yeah, which is just now back to like a little bit of seriousness, I guess.
It's like surrounding yourself with good people. Like, you've got to be. It's like literally what we were talking about yesterday, where around people we're comfortable with and that it's fun so we can, like, actually have a good time. Yeah. Like, amidst, obviously, well, your phone got stolen, so that was a big thing that happened. Oh, my God, yeah. Why didn't I not bring that up yet? Because, and then there was not even anxiety because she was like,
Oh, I was so happy. I was like, I am not going to let this phone being stolen ruin my night with this man. I'm glad it didn't. I was rooting for you. And also, I don't know if you guys will be able to tell, but I have such a raspy voice right now because when I go out and drink two days in a row and I'm singing to music, stuff, whatever, I lose my voice bad.
And I guess this podcast is just not going to help by the end of this podcast. I'm going to sound like a man. But we're trying to stay really focused, though. Like, we're having a good time. It's so hard. But we're getting a little bit distracted fitting in this podcast into our hectic week with these new people. I would also say the phone definitely didn't help. Yeah, but still, even for me, like, I'm like, we literally have to podcast. Like, oh, my God, we have to work. Like, it was a lot. I haven't worked in, like, three days just because I haven't had one. Luckily, we've been going to the gym. Duh.
out of our way, but going to the gym, getting workouts in, but it's still like we were so focused, like so zoned in. And then it was like, oh. And now I'm just like, I wake up every, okay, I hope he doesn't listen to this. They are going to listen to this. But like I just like wake up every morning, I'm like, yay, like let's go. Usually I'm just like, oh. I wish you guys had a camera on us 24-7. I'm like, okay, I know you're probably thinking like Sam's being secretive, who's this boy? There's like another side of this that's also very secretive. I'm not talking about it.
I'll talk about it later. You guys are going to harass us in our DMs with questions. See, because you've been posting little things and I feel like they don't really care. I think they do, dude. My lives, I went live like twice and they're freaking out. We've been loving the Instagram lives. I love live. I'm alive all the time. I think it's fun.
You guys should look out for our lives. It's very fun. I feel like if I want to talk on my story, instead of talking on my story, I'll go live. Yeah. And that's just how it's been. And also, like we said, I think we said it on the pod, it's because we talk on this podcast. Yeah. Doing a lot of talking. Guys, also, I was just asleep. I just took a nap. Oh, also. I just woke up like 10 minutes ago. Speaking of being tired of naps, I am 15 days clean of no caffeine, but I am about to rip open a coffee.
Super coffee with the protein in it before this date. I need some type of caffeine. Sorry. 15 days, I did it. Good. But your anxiety is better. So it's like you did it for its purpose. Yeah, I did do it for its purpose. But I'm not going to like jump right back into it. Like the coffee and then maybe like two, three other times during the week. A week. Nothing crazy. Yeah. So...
I thought I was going to have no caffeine today, had a coffee because I'm so exhausted, just like didn't sleep good. So I took a nap and then Sam got back from her eyelashes and I knew I had to get up because like I said, we've been like running around. So we had a podcast right now. Like legitimate, like we kind of have to... Maybe let's get into what we're going to talk about. Yeah, let's get into it, guys. Yeah, we're going to do...
Talk about something a little bit more informative this week, even though we just went on a tangent about boy problems. Yeah. Let's do another 180 real quick. Yeah. Back to why you guys came. You're like, guys, we don't care, actually.
We're going to talk about your metabolism today. Yes, of course. Which is so important. Yeah, I know. We get a lot of questions. And honestly, I personally, and I know Taylor can definitely speak for this, is we get a lot of clients that come to us with metabolism adaptation questions.
which your metabolism, okay, your metabolism is your cells energy. Basically you're using food for energy and the lower your maintenance calories are and the lower your, um, the slower your metabolism is, the lower energy you're going to have. And that's just from under eating and everything. So we're just going to break it down to you and talk to you pretty much about every aspect of metabolism adaptation. Yeah. So obviously like Sam said, your metabolism is just quote unquote how your body is like
energy burning calories. And you have two different numbers. If you look up metabolism, if you go research this, it's going to tell you something like BMR, or you're going to find something that says TDEE. So your BMR is your basal metabolic rate. That is how much calories you would need to survive if you were in a coma, like if you were at complete rest, and then your TDEE accounts for
everything you do during the day, including just like brushing your teeth. It doesn't even have to be exercise. It could just be the fact that you walk to get water. Just think about the difference in exercise between a normal day versus a day in a coma. That's the difference between your TDEE and your BMR. Just as a reference, if we ever like say that or whatever, that's what those two things mean. Yeah. And before we really dive into everything,
I have a calculator, like an equation on my profile, macro one-on-one highlight. If you go into that, but what I do want to break down for you is the activity levels because we get so many questions all the time, but the activity levels. So we'll literally go from lightly active to very active. And guys, we do not consider ourselves like the extreme, very active just because we're going to the gym every day, five to six days out of the week. It
doesn't mean we're very active we're sitting at our desks most of the day we do get our 10k steps but that's only about like an hour outside of our day of walking if you're somebody that is like on your feet all day from work you're going to the gym you're getting 10k plus steps you should consider yourself very active what would we consider ourselves like i feel like just active like i mean some calculators have way more like levels than others but if we're talking like
sedentary, slightly active, active, very active. Yeah. I'd say active because like you said, we sit at a computer all day. I say very active is like you go to the gym, you play a sport and you work a part-time job where you walk a lot. That is like...
very, very active. Or you play a sport where your practice is five hours and you're like nonstop going for hours and hours. That's very active. I mean, I even think maybe in high school I did dance. I would consider myself maybe even more active than I am now because I was walking around high school, going to activities out of high school, having dance two to three hours a day, and then I'd have longer rehearsals. So yeah, even though we go to the gym, sometimes we hit our 10K steps and we're done in the gym by 12.
It's 12 p.m. and it's like, yeah, computer for the day. So that's something to look out for. But of course, also with the calculators, always remember those are estimates just because maybe your body needs more calories, but you don't think you're very active. That's totally okay. It's just a way to get a nice little estimate. Mm-hmm.
So, um, where do we want to, where do we want to begin? So I feel like what people like don't really understand, it's literally like DMs. We get things people in our life say, and kind of why we go through reverse dieting with our clients, which I,
We're basically, even though we're probably never going to say like reverse dieting is, this is basically one long explanation of what a reverse diet is. It's that people are like, but I like am in a calorie deficit and I can't lose weight. Yes. So here's the thing. If you're eating, that means you're not in a calorie deficit because your metabolism is so low. Yeah. Like your metabolism, your metabolism is so low. You're not in a calorie deficit. Yeah.
Yeah. You're basically what happens is your metabolism is very smart. It will adapt very, very quickly. That's why we tell anybody that is, that is going to be into a calorie deficit to not to go into it any longer than like three to six months, like maximum. Cause if you need to do that, maybe you will have to do like a refeed week, whatever, but three to six months is like where I would really put you at. Um,
And then if you're in it for too long, that is when your metabolism will start to adapt and your energy will start to lower. And that's when your maintenance calories will lower. So because you're eating a smaller amount, your maintenance calories will drop. So you're not technically in a deficit anymore. So that's why you're not losing weight. Yeah. And when your metabolism adapts, that's going to be little things like it's basically going to turn off.
functions that aren't necessary to live. So for girls, that's going to be losing your period. Your body takes a lot of energy to give you a period every month. And if it's not being fed, that's not really necessary for you to live. So shuts it off your digestion. Yeah. You need to digest food, but it doesn't need to do it perfectly for you to live. So it's just going to be slow and crappy because it's just going to take what it needs and
Kind of hope for the best and work bad because it doesn't have the energy to get the food through you. Yeah, a lot of the time girls will be like, I think I'm lactose insensitive or I'm gluten free or something like that. But that is just completely in their head because their digestive system is just so bad that when they do have dairy or they do have some type of bread or carb,
Their body is just not digesting it properly. So they think that they have to restrict all these food groups. And that's when yo-yo dieting comes into hand. And you just think you need to restrict all these things to have a good digestion. But I promise you guys, the more you eat, the better your digestion is and the less foods you have to restrict. Exactly. So if you are eating like, oh, but I'm eating 1500 calories and this calculator says my maintenance is 1800 calories.
But you've been under eating for the past five years of your life. So know that 1800 is actually wrong. And you're probably like you've beaten your metabolism metabolism into only needing like 1200 calories. And some of you might be like, OK, so then base your deficit off the 1200 calories and lose weight.
okay, now we're playing on the edge of being in the hospital. Like that's not really something to mess with. It's not just like, oh, well, so if I can't eat 1,500, I'll just eat 1,000. That's playing a really dangerous game, especially because our listeners, probably listening are so young. If you were to take your calories lower and lower, by the time you were like 30, right?
Think about how much you'd be eating. Yeah. You probably couldn't eat 1,000 calories without gaining weight. Whereas when you do this reverse dieting mixed with strength training, you can keep a healthy maintenance at over 2,000. You can lose weight on 2,000. Yeah. Now, you're probably thinking, guys, right now, you're probably...
feeling like you're in that position, you know, you're under eating, your metabolism has adapted and you're probably wondering, well, how the hell do I reverse diet? How do I increase my maintenance calories? How do I boost the metabolism? There are so many easy ways to add to your daily routine that can help you do that. And obviously, first of all, being like strength training. Yeah, strength training is so freaking important, guys, not just because...
You know, it's trendy right now on TikTok, those girls being like, when you learn, you can just lose weight walking. I've seen a few videos like that. You don't need to do any exercise to lose weight. You can lose weight laying in your bed all day. You can. But here's the problem. Your metabolism, your muscle mass is going to go away. Muscle burns more calories at rest. So your muscle is going to go away. And guess what? Your metabolism is going to drop. The food you were eating before that made you lose weight,
Now will not because your metabolism is lower. Yeah. And those walks are not helping build your muscle mass. A girl on TikTok even had proof of it. She was like, I thought the same thing and then I gained weight because I lost all my muscle. Yeah. So that whole like...
that goes around TikTok right now, which I've gotten tagged in a million times. I'm like, I'll respond back to the comments. I'm like, guys, it didn't necessarily work. She was just in a calorie deficit for a good amount of time. But yeah, weight training, like she said, is very, very important. And then there's those other aspects like eating your protein. Sounds super silly, but protein is obviously going to help you build and maintain lean muscle. And like she was saying, the more muscle you have on your body, the more
The more calories your body can burn at rest, the faster metabolism is. And it's very important that you are spreading your protein out throughout the day. Eating protein at least every two to three hours, getting it in your system. And I don't think, you know, you hear all the time, the one gram to one pound of body weight is how much protein you should have for a day. And that is just not true.
I have a calculator for this. I'm not going to read the equation out loud because it's just like a big equation. But if you want to find it, go to my macro one on highlight. But, you know, you have to base it off of your body fat percentage too. You know, if someone's weighing around like 180 pounds, you shouldn't eat 180 grams of protein. So definitely check that out. Yeah. When we say one gram per body weight, like that very much applies to like our audience. Like,
like like most of our audience are like younger girls maybe under eating not very like high body fat but there's no reason to be eating over like I'd say like 150s like pushing it yeah like you really don't need that much um it might make you feel kind of bad in the stomach obviously see what works for you but definitely your body fat percentage is going to play a role but but
You can play with that as you figure out your macros as well.
And then other silly ones that we hype up all the time are going to be drinking your gallon of water, my friends, and your 10K steps. Cannot emphasize it enough. Especially throughout the day, if you just feel like you don't have that much of a hunger cue, when you get your 10K steps in compared to days where you don't get your 10K steps in, you're not as hungry. So for me at least, I like to move in the morning, get my 10K steps pretty much out of the way, and I have a good appetite throughout the rest of the day along with drinking my water. Yeah.
Yeah, you want to have an appetite. You want to be a little bit hungry. You want to wake up and want breakfast. Like being like, oh no, like I'm never hungry. I can wait to eat breakfast till like two. Okay, maybe check in on your metabolism a little bit. Like how, because your body should be burning through that food fairly quickly. I mean, we are hungry for breakfast. Oh, this morning I woke up at like six in the morning starving.
Yeah. Like you, you just went maybe eight hours. Maybe if you stopped eating way before bed, maybe even 12 hours without eating, you should be hungry when you wake up. It's not a bad thing to be hungry. I feel like a lot of girls feel I used to, I know we both talked about it.
like insecure when like you're hungry and your friends aren't. We need to eat every two to three hours. Now that's because we built our metabolism. Like we need to eat. Our bodies run good with food. It doesn't just...
put on weight when you do it correctly. And it would make me feel weird being the only one hungry when everyone else is like, Oh, I forgot to eat all day. I'm like, Oh no, I cannot do that. I'm like, I'm, my body is going through this food and everyone, I mean, aside from maybe other medical issues you may personally have, everyone can get to that place. If you don't think this sounds like you, it's possible. Yeah. That's like another thing too, is like,
When it comes to, especially our clients, like getting clients onboarded and like wanting to reverse diet them and get them to eat. Say one of my clients comes to me and they're eating around like 1,200 calories. It is obviously a struggle to get a good eating schedule because they're so used to maybe skipping breakfast, not having lunch, whatever it is. Guys, meal prepping will help you with that.
Setting reminders on your phone. I know it sounds so silly, but if you have a busy day and you just realize like six, seven hours go by and you didn't eat, that is not going to help you down the road with boosting that metabolism. Okay. Even just packing like a protein bar, something small. I mean, you'd be like, oh, well, I'm not hungry.
Eat a protein bar. Who cares? Eat a banana. Eat something. Yeah, there's, like, no excuse to not just, like, have a protein bar in your bag. Yeah. Just in case, have it, you know, the days that we forget to pack a snack if we're out. We're just not a good time. Definitely pack a snack. Set reminders. Get yourself on a little bit of a schedule. Obviously not in a restrictive, strict, intermittent fasting type way, but in a way to hold yourself accountable if you don't think you're going to be hungry because...
Even if you don't feel it, if you've been yo-yo dieting for years, your hunger cues are not great. They're not great at all. I mean, you totally messed them up. You've been messing with them for years. So why would they be great at telling you you need lunch at like 1 p.m.? Yeah. They're not. By no means are trying to scare you guys. I know this can probably seem scary because you're probably like, listen to this. You're like, I am in this exact situation right now.
Taylor and I both got out of this, okay? Yeah, and you can get out of it quick too. Exactly. You can get out of it very quickly. You just need to take it seriously. Exactly. You can't just expect to do one of these few things that we suggested to do and expect this immaculate difference in your metabolism. Yeah, and I've had clients within...
two to three months go from like 1300 calories to like 2000. Yeah. Because they take their tracking seriously. They take their workouts seriously. Yeah.
And they make it happen. And the progress pictures show. And the one thing when you guys are on this journey, I know it's scary because increasing food sounds like weight gain. You think more calories, you think weight gain. But you have to remember the whole equation is calories in, calories out, not just calories in. If you're not trying to build up your calories out to be the highest number it could be, then your calories in are like always going to be too many and it's going to be impossible. So when you take it slowly, obviously working with a coach,
is a great idea. But when you take it slowly, you won't gain weight. You may lose weight. You may stay the same weight. I have a lot of clients that their progress pictures look so different. They weigh the same. Maybe they lost two pounds. But like,
They look night and day different because the bloating's gone and the digestion's better. They have more muscle mass, like just everything, everything got fixed and they're the same weight. And some of them get discouraged, like discouraged by that. And I'm like, the scale, it does not matter at all. That is the craziest one is the water weight difference. The water weight. The water weight difference is insane. Like some of my girls, like she said, exactly the same situation. Like
Scale stays the same. Pictures are so different, but it's the water weight. Your body is not holding on to so much. Your body feels like it needs to fight against yourself. You're just going to hold on to everything, like everything, water, your food, like everything. You are just not going to feel as bloated when you eat more food.
But I know, you know, I did mention that there are definitely some girls that are like, oh, well, I am maybe probably in this situation right now. And maybe there are some of you that don't feel like you are, but maybe you're iffy about it. And I just want to kind of list off a few, you know, factors that could play into metabolism adaptation.
That you may, you know, have signs of. You know, it could be weight gain, loss of muscle, bloating, low energy, increased cravings, higher moods, so higher anxiety, depression, stress, and bad sleep and a lot of mood swings. So definitely be on the lookout for those if you just feel like maybe...
Um, you don't even like, I'm not saying most of you guys track calories. Like if you're just eating under eating, but not knowing how much calories you're actually eating, look at the side effects, look at the symptoms, look at your energy throughout the day. Um, and put that into consideration. Yeah. I think it's,
how mood, like the cravings and the motion and the bad sleep and the mood swings are such a big part of it. Kind of ties in how we were talking about anxiety when you don't eat because when we're talking about how functions kind of like turn off in your body when they're not necessary, regulating your anxiety,
not really a priority like releasing the right happy chemicals in your body and making sure everything running is smoothly to your mood probably not your body's priority especially if like instinctually this might be wrong but this is how I think about it if you don't have food I feel like that just like instantly turns on your body's like
scared. Like... Yeah. Like, we're animals at the end of the day. And I feel like if you're not eating, like, that anxiety and that, like, depression is literally your body being like, oh, shit. Like, we're starving. Like, we're gonna die. Please get food. Like, because...
It all goes back, like, to, like, ants, like, all that. But, like, that's why that happens. Like, it's not fake. You're not, like, better than it. You're not like, oh, I'm going to eat my 1,200 calories anyway because it'll work. No, it won't. Like, you're not an outlier. It's real stuff. So I feel like that was, like, a lot of information. Yeah, it was. But I think, okay, I think we went really, really deep into the food. We didn't really talk about the strength training, like,
Yeah, like as much as we needed to. Yeah, no. Because I still feel like people have a misunderstanding about like the cardio. And like now we have a whole episode on cardio, by the way, but it's not all directly related to like this topic. But like we said before, I just want to reiterate because it's insanely important when trying to lose weight or just like recomp your body. I guess we'll say what that is too after I'm done.
When you build muscle, you have a higher metabolism. It burns more calories than fat. So when you do cardio, it could be a helpful added tool because you'll increase your daily energy expenditure. But if you do too much, you can eat into your muscle mass and decrease your metabolic rate.
So that is why you need to be strength training. Any form of resistance training is great for your overall health. You need to do some of it if you did weights for a long time. Now you're kind of over it if you just want to do Pilates to like keep going.
Keep some muscle, whatever you want to do. I don't know. Like do something like if you found yourself drifting away from the gym for whatever reason, I promise you, you really want to you'll really, really, really want to keep that muscle mass. I forget what age it is, but there's an age where I think a woman's muscle mass just like decreases like.
Like an insane amount. I don't know. Like why older women like have a hard time like losing weight. There's some age and it's not that old that like it instantly becomes very hard for women to keep their muscle mass. So you need to be doing resistance training. Just cannot stress it enough. This stuff is real. It's real stuff. Yeah, I do want to emphasize too specifically in a reverse diet process it's very important to not be cardio focused. Like
Kind of maybe just get rid of it. Focus on the 10 key steps. But yeah, like she said, use it as a tool. Yeah, steps are enough. If you didn't listen to the cardio episode, definitely listen to it because that goes into full detail on what to do based on your goals, how to use cardio as a tool. Yeah, that was definitely a good episode. I literally had a client shout out if you're listening to this. I told Sam, I was like, no, because she was like, I think I'm going to start implementing cardio.
And dude, she looks great. I could tell she's getting more muscle. She does not have a high amount of body fat to lose. Like we're just trying to increase her metabolism. And oh my God, I almost freaked out. I was like, girl, if you start doing cardio on me, I will be so mad because this muscle we're building and like the butt we're growing and all of this. I was like, you're going to put it all backwards. I was like, no, I was so upset when I went through my journey. I did none at all. And I just focused on cardio.
The eating and not even the steps, really just the food and the weights, which led me to the reverse diet. I know I dropped this word. I dropped the word body recomposition. You might have heard me say that and were like, Taylor, huh? I have a whole post about it on my Instagram, but it's really far down. Maybe on when this episode is up, I'll like put it on my story so you guys can see what I'm talking about.
But, um, repost it on the podcast page. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll like put it on the podcast page so you guys can read it in a bit more detail, but basically body recomposition is changing up your like muscle to body fat, uh, I guess like ratio, like losing body fat, gaining muscle. And that is going to happen by doing all the things we just said. That is what a reverse diet is basically doing to you. So, um, reverse diet, uh,
is basically the process to body recomposition. They're, like, kind of the same word, not really. But if that makes it a little clearer for you, because I feel like when I got into the fitness industry, words were just being thrown around. And I'm like, what does that mean? Yeah, I remember that. I remember you still, like... I thought a reverse diet was a bulk. I used to, like, Google this stuff on, like...
Google, obviously. And just like read and read and read and I would get so confused. So it is good that you guys can like have like a freaking podcast that we just tell you the facts. Yeah, right? Like we're your Google. Yeah. I cannot find this post anywhere. I have no idea where she went. Yeah. I am so excited to have that damn coffee.
You're so excited for your date. I think this episode is kind of short. Was it short? Yeah. Should I like... What should we do? Talk more about my life? Talk more about our life? Yeah. The thing is that that's... It sucks talking about fitness in a non-bullshit way because it's so simple. Yeah. If I... We could bullshit... You can listen to fitness podcasts and they just bullshit and bullshit and bullshit. And you're like...
what are you even talking about? Like they're just, and we're just like, I mean, lift weights need more. Yeah. And we're not, there's not, there's not much out. Like there's truly not much else. We're trying to tell you this in the simplest form there is. I was just going to say that we're not trying to explain it in like a scientific, like, like math. Like we're not trying to do it like that. We're trying to explain it to you guys. Very simple. Yeah. Just so you understand what's going on. We don't want to overwhelm and confuse you.
Exactly. Because you don't need to know all the like legit science words. No, just because someone knows the science words. That does not mean that means they memorized it out of a book. Yeah. Like legit. Like I can't stand like the people that I see out there that like you try explaining things like, like the, what's, I don't want to say his name. The guy that you, the fitness guy that always is critiquing. Yeah. Like just throwing out anatomy words. Like being like,
I don't even know. I can't even give an example. I watch you. I'm like, sir, I have no clue what you just said. All I know is I did a squat. Yeah. I'm like, take it or leave it. Yeah. So we just, it's hard for us to even think of topics because you guys want us to touch on things. And to us, the answer is so simple and we want it to get it to you so simply. So we want you to just block out the nonsense about that.
calories and eating less and understand everything behind calorie deficit because when you hear the word calorie deficit you think eat less but like I said you need to remember that the equation is calories in calories out and you need the calories out part to be working that is something I can't stress enough I'm just gonna go through really quick at the end of this if you forgot maybe like oh my god do I need to follow this advice I
Um, cause I just found the post. I found it guys. So maybe you're someone, um, okay. I'm just going to read. I feel like I just like made no sense. I'm going to go through this list. Honestly, I'm like sitting here. I'm like, well, okay. Okay. Do right now. Sorry. Sometimes you talk for a podcast in an hour and I'm like, what? What did I say? What just happened?
Anyways, so are you someone that really doesn't need to lose weight and body recomposition and reverse dieting is for you? Are you completely new to weight training? Have you never tracked or paid any mind to your protein intake? Is your stress, sleep, and hydration all out of whack? And do you just have a small amount of body fat that you want to quote unquote tone up? Then don't start eating less.
That might go against everything you've ever heard, but I hope hearing us talk about all of this made it make sense in a very simple way. Because it is so simple. And our clients are proof of it. I mean, we don't really like talk about our clients that much because that's just like a separate part of our work. Like our social media is for our work, like for our...
in our lives and our clients are kind of separate, but that's pretty much what we're going to end up, what we do with like all of them really. Like pretty much. Yeah. I, I have yet to have a girl come to me where I'm like, yeah, let's decrease how much you're eating. Yeah. No, it's, it hasn't happened. Um,
And I think that's just the culture of 18 to 25-year-olds. Yep, and we want to switch that. Yeah, we want to switch that so bad because it'd be so much easier to explain to girls, I guess, if they'd never gone into yo-yo dieting. Yeah, lose weight with a calorie deficit, eat a little less. Nope, now we have to go into all of this because of all the BS that has put everyone so far behind.
That's why I said last week, unfollow those toxic influencers that don't know what the hell they're talking about. And they're telling you to do all these crazy diets. And feel bad for eating fruit. Yeah. No. Food combining, whatever the hell it is. Just.
Get it out of your life and stop thinking that the scale needs to go down. Stop thinking that you need to eat less calories. That is not the answer. You need to just make sure your body is running at its finest, ladies. I mean, like we said, I think we was a little short. Is there anything else you want to say about your date? No, I'm just nervous. No, you're nervous. I'd be nervous. I'm nervous for you. Yeah, I'm really nervous.
But, like, you know why I'm nervous. I know. They don't. You guys are so confused. I love it. I can't wait to, like, hopefully one day I'll be able to...
introduce you this is it's fun because now we're like living our adventures as like like yeah like we work together always we're also like roommates and like friends and now we get to like do this little stupid stuff because we've just been like on our grind and we have for next episodes just so you guys know we got some people yep next week we got some people next week so that's fun
Maybe one day we'll have these mystery people on the podcast. Oh, yeah. That'd be fun. I don't know. We'll see, though. They'd really have to earn it. Yeah, no. Exactly. That's the thing, though. I do need to feel out how things are going to go, and I'll let you guys know. Yeah. If we stop talking about it, don't ask. If I introduce you to him. Because I don't want to introduce you guys to him, and then things not work out. I don't know. So just if we stop talking about it, don't ask. But regardless...
There's also like a friendship. Like, yeah, like cool people. Like, you know, it's whatever. But yeah, we have some guests coming. We might be meeting up with some. What? We might be making plans to meet up. Oh, yes. Meet up with some other people. No, no. You're like, no, she's like, I was like, I don't think she's fine out here. No, but you know, we might be seeing more content people soon. Yes. Which is going to be fun. I know you guys like Gwen.
