Summary

You've likely encountered countless weight loss strategies leaving you overwhelmed and unsure of the best path to take. But the reality is shedding those extra pounds doesn't have to be a complicated ordeal. Embracing just a few key principles can transform our bodies, melting away fat and sculpting lean muscle. 


Whether it's the overconsumption of hyperpalatable foods, inadequate protein intake, underestimating calorie intake, or simply neglecting calorie awareness altogether, today’s episode helps you sort through the myths and find the answers you've been looking for.

Dhru and Max talk about prioritizing protein at every meal, especially breakfast, and how overeating ultra-processed foods (even “healthy” junk foods) can easily lead to weight gain.
