Really I’ve just been wondering about coffee’s effects on fat loss. Or rather caffeine’s effects on insulin resistance. Also how often does he eat sweets/chocolates etc.

Josh, thanks for your caffeine question. I can guarantee you he’ll say it doesn’t really matter. It won’t help or hurt. But we’ll cover that next time anyway. As for the chocolate, he covered that on this call.

No worries! Still a great question and I know you’ll learn a TON from our first interview. Can’t wait for the second.

Yep exactly right, caffeine will not effect your fasted state metabolism.
As far as the chocolate…It’s in the interview, but it’s a pretty regular occurrence.

Hi there,
Brad promotes the use of weight training which works in quite well with your material however, I wanted to know if body weight training still meets the requirements of the studies that this has been based on?
Thanks!

As long as the ‘stress’ is high enough it should be fine. Just make sure you are following a well structured and challenging workout.

Hi Alyssa
Bodyweight Training can be a fantastic fun and portable way to resistance train.
Best resources on bodyweight training I’ve found are from RMAX and RMAX coaches.
I highly recommend Scott Sonnons Flowfit DVD. https://rmaxinternational.3dcartstores.com/DVDs-Audio_c_6.html
There’s a free workout here that’s worth checking out Alyssa. http://www.bodyweightcoach.com/ It’s designed by 2 top RMAX coaches.
PS – NONE of these are affiliate links.
Have fun

Oh and with the fasting that is recommended is this “true” fasting ie it means taking in nothing including water? Other fasting info online takes out water also so I wanted to clarify

All of the research I quote in ESE allows the consumption of any calorie free beverages..so water is alright.

Loved the call and towards the end in the longevity section you refer to a number of body measurements as being different indicators for different things. Is there a source of these measurements or which ones would you consider to be the most important ones as indicators of whether you are “in shape” or not

Hey Brad, do you recommend taking bcaa’s before and after workouts in a fasted state, or does it defeat the purpose of fasting?
[Reply to this]
Hey Paul,
No I don’t recommend. Nothing against it (I don’t think it’s counter productive or anything) I’m just not convinced you will see any difference whatsoever.
That being said…they’re not expensive by any means so if you need them to make you feel better about your fasts…give it a go, but be smart. If you don’t see any measurable differences, don’t keep going just because your ‘supposed to’
