Carnivore, Calorie Myths & Over-Optimising (ft. Andrew Coates)

In this episode, I’m joined by Andrew Coates to unpack the current state of the fitness industry and the explosion of health information online. We discuss why even experts don’t agree, how social media rewards status games over nuance, and why over-optimising your approach can stall real progress.We also dive into the future of trends like the carnivore diet, the evolution of GLP medications, and why many people wrongly believe they’re the exception when it comes to calorie expenditure. 🔗 Andrew's LinksInstagram • Threads🚀 Work With MeBook a Consultation Call • 1:1 Online Coaching🎯 Start Free14-Day Fat Loss Kick-Starter • Free Fitness Guides📘 Read My BookYour Fat Loss Journey Starts Here📲 FollowInstagram • Threads • YouTube⚒️ My Personal ToolkitTools I use for training, work, and daily life Timestamps:00:36 Who Is Andrew Coates01:35 Andrew’s Social Media Growth02:18 Why Andrew Cares Less About Social Media Now03:55 The Current State Of Threads07:01 The Overload Of Fitness Information Online12:05 Why Health Experts Disagree16:30 Andrew’s Experience On Threads & Bad Advice17:49 The Social Media Status Game22:50 People Pleasing & Why It Sabotages Fitness30:24 When Optimisation Goes Too Far33:42 Coaches Oversimplifying Their Messaging38:05 The “I’m The Exception” Calorie Myth40:04 Fitness Trends That Will Fade40:34 The Carnivore Diet Debate45:52 The Future Of GLP Medications52:27 Where To Follow Andrew Coates
