There are many pervasive myths in the health and fitness space. It’s no wonder so many folks are confused about fat loss, building muscle, and how to eat in a way that supports their goals. This is why it’s critical that you obtain your information from a science-backed resource, and that’s exactly what I have for you on today’s show.
On this episode of The Model Health Show, our guest is Alan Aragon. Alan is an influential nutrition researcher and educator who has over thirty years of experience in the fitness industry. In this interview, he’s sharing so many valuable insights. We’re going to discuss some of the most persistent myths in the fitness world, the truth about aging healthily, nutrition for far loss, and so much more.
You’re going to learn what the science says about fasted training for weight loss and exactly what it takes to build muscle at every age. We’ll discuss the nuances of weight loss medications, including when they are appropriate, the importance of dialing in your hunger cues, and exactly how to build a meal that is satiating. Alan is a wealth of knowledge on health and fitness - and I know you’re going to enjoy this conversation.
In this episode you’ll discover:
* How to decide if you should train fasted or fed.
* Why muscle is the metabolic engine of the body.
* The truth about building muscle later in life.
* How muscle mass naturally decreases over the human lifespan & how to avoid it.
* What progressive resistance training is.
* Why sedentary behavior has skyrocketed in our culture.
* What collateral fattening is, and how to avoid it.

* Which foods rate highest on the satiety index of foods.
* Why we have to take a bioindividual approach to nutrition.
* The minimum effective dose of weight training to age healthfully.
* How to train to failure.

We can blame everything supermarkets promoting unhealthy foods mc donalds but it really comes down to self decipline

[@Lise-ss8qw]

[@dews3340]

Happy Monday on the way to the gym after being at the library this morning. Storms rolling across my state 😮all weekend. Thankfully we are safe and healthy. No complaints here. Oklahoma Nebraska Iowa Kansas got hit HARD. Folks left in the dark, no home, no electricity, and no healthy foods.. We will watch your video later ......... Drinking fresh spring water 💦, so thankful

Not drinking water once we begin eating forces us to chew better and sets digestion off to a more efficient start.

[@Lise-ss8qw]

Since eating a PBWF diet i have gain muscle mass getting my protein from plants. High Carb is the way to go

Invite him back!

[@TheShawnModel]

We loved having Alan Aragon on the show so for sure we'll be thrilled to have him back in the future! Thank you so much for showing your support. It means a lot to us! - Sarah (Assistant to Shawn)

[@tourigny1977]

Is the damage done from collateral fat loss?

[@carolannN9712]

It's never too late to work on reversing metabolic damage! I'm finding it to be an empowering and life-changing (and slow) process. The more cycles of yo-yo diets and crazy cardio we've gone through, possibly means longer we will need to slowly heal.
