Have you ever wondered how many calories exercise really burns? Is a six-pack achievable for you? Or are you unsure whether food quality or quantity matters more for your goals? I answer all of these questions in this week's Q&A episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Exercise and Calorie Burning: The truth about metabolic adaptation and why exercise isn’t as effective for weight loss as you might think.
- How to Get a Six-Pack: Why genetics, nutrition, and consistency are the real keys to visible abs—and why crunches won’t cut it.
- Food Quality vs. Quantity: Understanding the hierarchy of nutrition needs and why calories still reign supreme when it comes to fat loss.
Key Takeaways:
- Exercise Myths: Relying solely on exercise for fat loss can backfire due to metabolic adaptation and compensatory behaviors.
- Six-Pack Truth: Visible abs are the result of a calorie deficit, consistent nutrition, and genetics—not endless crunches.
- Nutrition Hierarchy: Prioritize calories first, then protein, food quality, and macronutrient balance to optimize health and body composition.
