Episode 125: Can you out-fitness your fork? Busting myths surrounding diets and exercise

Think you can out-exercise a bad diet? Think again. The truth is, the more you work out, the hungrier you get. And you might be surprised to learn just how much effort it takes to burn off those "small" treats. Ever indulged in a Hold The Cone from Trader Joe's? Just 90 calories, but did you know you'd need to run a mile in under nine minutes or walk for 25 minutes just to burn off one mini cone? And let's not even start on heavier meals. A single pizza or a meal at Canes? That's up to 1,800 calories, and no amount of exercise can offset that in a day, considering everything else you eat. The solution? Pair your workouts with a solid nutrition plan and a basic understanding of calories. It’s not just about burning calories; it's about understanding them.
