Listener Q&A: The “The Under The Radar” Strategy For Fat Loss, Drawbacks Of Athletes Eating Too Little, Avoiding Distractibility, The Least Offensive Alcohol Strategies, And The Best Dark Chocolate

Wild times abound as we tackle great feedback and listener questions about important health topics.

First, some positive reviews about Brad being funny and “down to earth” (even after reading a bunch of positive reviews?!) and then we hear from a listener who details a day of diligent low-carb eating, ambitious exercising, and bonking and getting a headache. We’ll learn how to avoid piling on too many stress factors (fasting, low-carb, high intensity, etc.) and how to optimize exercise and diet for fat reduction with an “under the radar” strategy of achieving natural and incidental caloric deficits that prompt the burning of excess body fat. We hear great references from shows with Dr. Tommy Wood (athletes should strive to eat as much healthy food as possible, until they add a pound of body fat—then back off) and Dr. Robert Lustig (who argues that it’s virtually impossible to add body fat if you ditch toxic modern foods and emphasize wholesome, nutritious foods).

A listener references my interview on Brock Armstrong’s Second Wind podcast about the importance of a tech-free start to the day and votes against “Challenge Months” that are too stressful. Then we take a detailed look at the most sensible advice regarding alcohol consumption, including the least offensive strategies if you choose to imbibe (check Brian “Liver King” Johnson’s elaborate 11-step approach!), and I suggest trying my favorite Dry Farm Wine for the cleanest wine available. Finally, you’ll hear some great commentary about strategically adding carbs to a carnivore-ish diet in order to boost recovery.

B.rad Superfuel is the choice of health-conscious, athletic people!

TJ QUILLIN

B.rad Superfuel has quickly become a fixture in my daily workout routine and lifestyle. I always take a couple scoops right after a strength training session, just shake up a water bottle and chug it – goes down easy. I also love preparing a Superfuel smoothie, with ice, frozen banana, other performance supplements, and a couple scoops of Superfuel. The peanut butter flavor is out of this world!

My attention to detail with protein intake has helped me to achieve a 605lb deadlift, more than triple my body weight of 198 pounds!

“I’ve been taking B.rad Superfuel for several months and I can really tell a difference in my stamina, strength, and body composition. When I started working out of my home in 2020, I devised a unique strategy to stay fit and break up prolonged periods of stillness. On the hour alarm, I do 35 pushups, 15 pullups, and 30 squats. I also walk around my neighborhood in direct sunlight with my shirt off at midday. My fitness has actually skyrockted since the closing of my gym! However, this daily routine (in addition to many other regular workouts as well as occasional extreme endurance feats, like a Grand Canyon double crossing that takes all day) is no joke. I need to optimize my sleep habits with evenings of minimal screen use and dim light, and eat an exceptionally nutrient-dense diet, and finally take the highest quality and most effective and appropriate supplements I can find. There is simply no better whey protein supplement than B.rad Superfuel!
