Exercise More to Burn More & Chronic “Cardio” is a More Time Consuming Way to Starve Yourself
Listen
Note 1
Trying to cancel out inSANE foods with exercise is like trying to cancel out a pack of cigarettes with exercise. Remember, it’s not about calories!
Note 2
Like people drink more water when they exercise more, they also eat more when they exercise more. The body works to balance itself out.
Note 3
If people are eating inSANE edible products, anything that causes them to consume more of them does more harm than good.

SANE
Exercise Smarter to Burn More & Exercising More Doesn’t Make You Thin
Listen
Note 1
No-impact and high-intensity activity such as eccentric resistance training lowers your set-point. But that doesn’t matter until you free your mind from the conventional “jog more to burn more calories” mythology.

Note 3
Any wellness approach is only useful to the extent that it heals your body and lowers your set-point. Exercise can do this, but not though the calorie-centric methods you’ve been taught.

Q3
Studies show that we are less active and burning fewer calories today than we did historically.
