And it's how I determine if it’s first stop fat loss or all aboard the gain train (woo woo).

In this podcast I delve into the dark depths of Quora. A place where the most moronic health and fitness questions get asked. And even more moronic answers are given.

"Did Your parents literally count every calorie you ate as a child?" "Why don't healthy foods use nicotine to help make eating healthy addictive?" And then we tackle a more useful question... "Is it better to take whey protein with or without carbohydrates?"
