I know metabolic adaptation and reverse dieting has become a hot topic and as a new coach there are times I'm confused about what's the best approach for my clients when getting started. For example I'll have obese clients coming to me with lots of dieting history and reporting low calorie intake but do you think this is more a matter of under reporting and it's safe to take them right into a fat loss phase? I've heard recently that it's less likely that metabolic adaptation is occuring in those with lots of weight to still lose. Do you have any thoughts on this?(18:25) - Hey Cody! Love the podcast. Can we get Shannen on? Might be cool to hear the perspective of a “fitness spouse” and she seems super cool!(26:30) - I’ve asked y’all a million questions before and I appreciate the answers! I’m really struggling with depression and food. I know in my mind that I’m over eating and logically I know overeating is keeping me from losing weight. (which I desperately need to lose). Why am I struggling so much?! Tips or advice on depression and food.(34:40) - Hi! Long time listener and LOVE how easy your pods are to listen to! To preface, I’ve been seriously lifting for 12 years (exercise science major, competed at 21). I’m 33, I was a firefighter and now am going to school for nursing. I went from extremely active plus admittedly overdoing cardio to super sedentary for school. I still do 1-2 hours of steady state cardio a day and lift 4x a week but I’ve already gotten so fluffy :( I have tracked calories for years, so I’ve even bumped them down to 1200! This isn’t even sustainable and I don’t know what else I can do, just accept this season of life? Or do you think my body will adjust?(40:10) - Because I’m new in my business, how do I figure out what to implement first when there's so much that could be implemented? —-Extra Content For You: How We Coach: Client Case Study ArticleTop 4 Podcast Episodes:- Nutritional Periodization- Nutrition FAQ- Training FAQ- My Story—-Social Links:Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blogFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethodInstagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroomYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1Email – info@tailoredcoachingmethod.comCody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC,Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness andMore…

I am open to the idea of building muscle and gaining weight, but I just want to make sure it’s the right weight- at least some of it! Would love and appreciate your thoughts on this.30:00 - I swim 4 days per week for 40 min and do an upper lower split, with the primary goal of muscle growth. Is this optimal?33:20 - What is more important, form or progressive overload for hypertrophy?47:00 - My 16year old son recently downloaded MyFitnessPal, and started a food diary. He has seen me do this, so I definitely feel responsible. What are your thoughts on teens and calorie counting? I don’t want to make it an issue, which will make him defiant. I do want to support his fitness goals without things becoming obsessive. He is also starting resistance training.
