Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. This is Danny Lennon and you are at episode 157 and today is our first episode of

2017. So happy new year to everyone who is listening in and around that time unless you're

going way into the future and are just watching an old episode. But for those of you who are in the present, Happy New Year,

we are, like I said, episode 157.

And really this is going to be a short and sharp intro

to the new year.

It's going to be a quick episode where I just

want to go over a couple of things.

I'm going to touch on a bit later the launch of the Sigma weight

cutting system for MMA and boxing. So if that's of interest to you, whether you are a combat

sport athlete, maybe you work with them as a coach, maybe you are a nutritionist to one of these

athletes or are just generally interested in different weight cutting strategies

and how to fuel athletes, then that will be of particular interest to you.

But before I get that, I just wanted to kind of lay out where we're going to be going

over the next month or two with the podcast.

There's a number of really, really cool guests on over the next probably six weeks that I think are going

to come from various different backgrounds that are going to give lots of interest. So next week we're

going to be talking with Alex Ritson on the topic of metabolic adaptations and what that means

for dieting. Alex has done a ton of digging into the literature in this area and some really

important variables to keep in mind. So I'm really looking forward to next week's episode.

Over the coming weeks, we also have Phil Graham, who's going to be discussing diet and

training for diabetics, particularly those who are maybe either looking to lose body fat or on the other end of the spectrum trying to gain muscle mass.
