Trailer: Jonathan Bailor’s Smarter Science of Slim   Transcript Jonathan Bailor-  Hey everyone, Jonathan Bailor here with “bonus” Smarter Science of Slim podcast episode three.  Again, with these bonus episodes, the goal is just to be your one stop shop for all things audio and interview related Smarter Science of Slim; not necessarily covering unique things because these interviewers generally ask me the same questions.  Hopefully, you’ll get at least something good from each bonus episode here.  In this week’s bonus episode, we’ve got an interview I did with FOX Sports Radio.  Two excellent interviewers and we had a lot fun.  Hope it’s helpful and I’ll be back with Carrie, in the studio, in just a few days.  Enjoy. Maury Eskenazi-  Ok, we are back.  It’s Health Matters – Maury Eskenazi and Shannon O’Kelley, brought to you by Integrated Rehabilitation Group.  Pretty interesting topic, Shannon, because of what I went through to lose weight.  We have an author, his name is Jonathan Bailor, he wrote a book called The Smarter Science of Slim.  I’m just going to throw a random question and you just sit and answer for a half an hour.  What is The Smarter Science of Slim? Jonathan-  The Smarter Science of Slim is the single largest scientific analysis of long-term fat loss and health, ever conducted.  It’s based on over 1100 international research studies.  It’s the only resource of its kind that’s been endorsed by the worldwide scientific community – including, Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA.  It’s underlying premise is all about focusing on the quality, rather than the quantity, of the food we eat and the exercise we get.  It shows a scientifically proven lifestyle where we can actually eat more and exercise less- but smarter- to burn fat and boost our health in the long term. Maury-  See, people are pulling over right now – they’re stopping and turning their radios up going, “What?  Eat more and exercise less?” Jonathan-  Smarter. Maury/Shannon O’Kelley- Smarter, smarter. Jonathan- There’s a catch, there’s always a catch. Maury-  Totally. Shannon- You know it’s interesting, what you said.  I’m just curious in your research…  the diet industry is a multi-million dollar industry…how many different diets are out there?  Do you have a number just to throw out? Jonathan- I don’t have a number to throw out there, but it does break my heart that we have a “diet” industry.   A diet is, by definition, temporary.  I don’t think anyone out there wants to lose weight temporarily, or boost their health temporarily.  What we’re after is long term health and fitness. Maury- Once you get to the point where it’s a lifestyle change, instead of a diet that’s  when you find success, right? Jonathan-  Absolutely.  That’s really what makes me passionate about this research. It enables us to use scientifically proven facts to take[...]

Trailer: Jonathan Bailor’s Smarter Science of Slim Transcript Jonathan Bailor- Hey everyone, Jonathan Bailor here for another “bonus” Smarter Science of Slim podcast.  This week an interview I had with the UK’s very own Jim Nariel.  Lot of good stuff, about 15 minutes really of concise overview of the Smarter Science of Slim.  Nothing really new – but hopefully a good, tight packaging of the information for you, that I hope you find useful.  If it’s not, well, me and Carrie will be back in a few days with some useful information, so enjoy! Jim Nariel-  Hi this is Jim Nariel from Loseweightfastresolve.com. Today, I have joining me, Jonathan Bailor, from The Smarter Science of Slim – the creator of thesmarterscienceofslim.com.  It’s really an effective and unique program on how to, obviously, get slim. I have no doubt Jonathan will be sharing some great things with us today.  That being said, Jonathan welcome to the call, how are you doing? Jonathan- I’m doing great, Jim, thank you so much for having me. Jim- No problem at all.  So before we get started and get to the main content here, I just wondered if you could tell me a little bit about yourself, how you got started, what really motivated you to create the Smarter Science of Slim? Jonathan-  Over a decade ago, Jim, I was a personal trainer.  I was also an individual who has never struggled with weight loss.  What I’ve struggled with is weight gain.  I had this profound experience when I was working with clients: while I was eating upwards of 6000 calories a day, in an attempt to gain weight, my clients would be eating 1200 calories per day and exercising more than I was, and neither one of us were seeing the results we wanted.  They couldn’t get their weight to go down and I couldn’t get my weight to go up.  So, I started to think there was something more going on here. That set me on a path of a 10-year scientific journey that really changed everything I was taught via traditional personal training methods – in terms of the way we keep fat off our body and stay healthy. Jim-  Wow.  The Smarter Science of Slim is quite an intriguing title.  I was just wondering, what is it – The Smarter Science of Slim?  What’s it all about? Jonathan-  The Smarter Science of Slim is just the name of the distillation, the book we wrote, after the single largest scientific analysis of fat loss and health ever conducted.  It’s the only resource of it’s kind to be endorsed by the worldwide scientific community – including top doctors at the Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA.  Also, the only resource of its kind to be approved as curriculum for registered dietitians by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formerly the American Dietetic Association, I believe.  I say that only because with so much myth, misinformation, and theory out there, what we wanted to do was assemble what had actually been proven by the research.  What’s very ironic is what the actual experts -people who spend their time in laboratories, people who spend their time doing science, not necessarily the people who are in the media or writing the back of cereal boxes- what they’ve proven is dramatically different than what even I was taught as a personal trainer.  In fact, what their research shows -that we’ve then summarized, simplified, and applied- is that if we focus on the quality of the food we eat and the quality of the exercise we get, rather than the quantity, we can -and actually have to- eat more and exercise less – but smarter, in order to cause the hormonal change that enables all of us to have bodies that work more like the body of naturally thin people.  People we meet everyday [...]

Eating more low-quality food causes us to gain body fat. But that does not mean eating more food produces the same result. Interestingly enough, eating more high-quality food has been clinically proven to cause body fat to be burned. The research on this topic comes from all over...Also, remember how it is easier for your metabolism to slow down than to burn body fat? And remember how it makes more sense to burn calorie-hungry muscle than it does to burn protective body fat? Put those two facts together, and instead of proving that eating less equals long-term fat loss, the applicable laws of thermodynamics prove that eating less makes the body slow down and burn muscle, which leads to long-term fat gain—not fat loss.
