@BioLayne Women should try to be fit But do they have Testosterone it's a steroid hormone find in males in abundance which helps in building muscles They shouldnt lift but do exercises , and lifting weights doesn't makes a person fit just muscular cardio makes a person fit

Soreness is NOT an indicator of muscle growth If you want to be sore, go run a marathon. You’ll be sore but you didn’t grow muscle Focusing on soreness to grow muscle is like focusing on buying fancy things to be wealthy Wealth is associated with fancy things, not caused by it

Spent the last 2 days at a scientific conference. You know what I didn’t hear? -Broad sweeping statements -Conclusive black & white claims You know what I heard tons of? -I’m not sure -We need more research -Maybe -It depends Keep that in mind when deciding who to trust

New WHO statement doesn’t recommend the use of NNS (non-nutritive sweeteners) 😱 Let’s talk about the statement from the WHO, the multitude of things wrong with it, & the people misrepresenting it The level of hypocrisy from fitness influencers about this statement is hilarious

If you don’t want to eat seed oils, cool But the mental gymnastics on some of you people is Olympic level I WISH the data said seed oils were bad. Then I could jump on the bandwagon & have everyone applaud me But that’s not what the data says Fuck your feelings

Motivation does not cause behavior change Behavior change shifts motivation A recent study on weight loss maintainers shed light on what many already knew (PMID: 38057992): The people who succeeded were the ones who made changes without waiting to be motivated Take the leap
