Interesting session. I found the visual of the different plates at same calories very impactful. The volume difference is huge. Two comments: if I ate a huge plate of vegetables, I would fill up quickly but I often am hungry in a short time. I’m assuming it’s due to lack of protein. Perhaps in a future call you can explain why? I know it’s not due to volume of protein as it is often less than veggies or carbs. I’m assuming it has something to do with metabolism rate. Other comment…is when you shared your screen with the comment by David Webber on how many calories an average person burns running 30 minutes…I read his comment as he was a proponent of using running as a weight loss strategy, which you indicated it was not and that rather running can be helpful cardio-wise but less so for weight loss.

Thanks Josh, I understand the benefits of cardio etc. I guess I’m more curious if resistance training is more beneficial than cardio for weight loss. That is, if you only did one form of activity, would resistance training be preferred over cardio for weight loss? I think you said the average person expends 300 calories by running for 30 min. Would the same number of calories be utilized by 30 minutes of resistance training? I understand that calorific deficit is key to weight loss.

“Your body is not fragile.” Have to keep that in mind!

Interesting topic. I always struggle with this. Not from the point of “what my wants give you”, but just defining my “wants” in the first place!
