    E64: There's More To Life Than Calorie Deficits

    I get really miffed off by people who say that life is too short to lose weight. Life will be even shorter if you don't buck your ideas up.Moreover, weight loss isn't something that needs to consume your life. Short periods of weight loss should be followed by periods of maintenance. Today I explain how that works and why you don't need to be in a calorie deficit forever.Don't forget to follow and get us up to the magic 100!
