#Quah question #1 - If I don't care how long it takes for me to reach my weight loss goals (-15lbs of fat), how long should my cut/reverse diet cycles be? (57:00)
-
#Quah question #2 - I know you mention eating whole foods which is something I strive for and tell my clients to aim for. However, it feels like this then causes categories of food to be eliminated. (Ex. - gluten, bread, pasta flour - Not wholefoods. Same with Dairy.) What falls under the umbrella of "whole" natural foods according to you guys? (1:00:42)
-
#Quah question #3 - Can you mix creatine in with things ahead of time, such as in your overnight oats? (1:07:07)
-
#Quah question #4 - Adam once said in a very old episode that he thinks marriage should be a lease, where each partner agrees to renew their contract every few years. I was wondering if his thoughts have changed now that he is married? (1:09:45)
