Summary: Episode 21 Questions 1. Topic: Juicing, hot craze or hot mess? I recently watched the documentary, “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead”. Basically, it was a documentary about a guy who went on a juice fast and fixed all his health issues. It praised juice fasts as a great way to lose weight and get healthy. What is your take on juice fasts? Are they a legit option? Are they dangerous? I mean straight fruit/vegetable juice for a month at a time seems extreme. Thanks! 2. Topic: Suns out, Guns out, Lets Get Shredded Hey fellas, you guys kick ass and have helped me get in the best shape I have been in in years, so I have to give you some praise! Here is my question. Summer is rapidly approaching and I want to get as lean as possible, I mean lets be honest, we are vain creatures and I really want to get my 6-pack ready for beach season. I am 5’8”, 165 pounds, and around 12-13% body fat, I can see my abs when I flex and feel like I am pretty close to getting there. What diet/exercise advice can you give me to help lean out as quick as possible? Thanks a ton and I hope this makes it on the show! 3. Topic: Is going gluten-free actually bad for you? There has been some recent evidence that going “gluten-free” is actually bad for you. Specifically, that it doesn’t help with weight loss, has negative effects on the gut flora, increases inflammation, etc. What is your take on this data? 4. Topic: Dietary insulin sensitizers, good idea? Hey guys, Love the show! You do a great job giving us information we can actually use! I have been listening for a few months, been following your advice in terms of diet and exercise, and have lost 25 pounds since January. Huge shout out! My question is in regards to dietary insulin sensitizers like cinnamon. I am slowly coming out of my self-induced T2DM and wanted to know what your thoughts on using things like cinnamon to help with my insulin-resistance? Thanks for all you do!
