Most people think struggle equals progress but when it comes to fat loss, that mindset can backfire. If you’re constantly “grinding” through carb-heavy training and feeling depleted, your body responds by spiking insulin, locking fat inside fat cells, and blocking your ability to burn it for fuel. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance and even type 2 diabetes—all while you believe the suffering means it’s working. True metabolic health isn’t about exhaustion or punishment; it’s about te

Running is not effective for weight loss in overweight individuals because the brain compensates for calories burned by increasing hunger. Especially carb calories, since most people haven’t trained nearly enough in the “fat max” zone to be effective at burning mostly fat, so they burn more muscle glycogen. Then they tend to overcompensate by reaching for more carbs to replenish. This often results in no net weight loss, even for long-term runners. Effective weight loss focuses more on diet. The

If I were to rebuild my health philosophy from scratch, I’d start exactly where I began 40 years ago — with evolution. Our genetic blueprint was forged in scarcity and adversity, yet modern life surrounds us with comfort and abundance. Understanding that our bodies still expect the inputs of our ancestors—movement, real food, sunlight, challenge—is the key to true health, performance, and longevity. | Mark Sisson

Biggest myth in nutrition? That you can fix a bad diet by just eating less. Portion control won’t save you. And 2,000 calories from donuts do not equal 2,000 calories from steak, veggies and fruit. Every bite of food is a hormonal event. Insulin, glucagon, leptin, ghrelin…they all factor into this equation. It’s more about calories stored versus calories burned. (which is NOT the same as calories in versus calories out).The key is consuming nutrient-dense foods, especially protein. Get your prot

My mid-morning routine is all about movement. Around 10:30 or 11 AM, I take a break to get in a workout. Most days, it’s a weightlifting session at the gym. Other days, I’ll put on a weight vest and go for a long walk. Once a week, I push myself with a high-intensity aerobic session, staying in zones 3, 4, and even touching zone 5 for up to an hour. This usually takes about 90 minutes. Another day each week, I’ll paddleboard—thanks to a board I keep on the bay side in Miami, where conditions are
