In this episode, we’re sharing a wide-ranging conversation EC had recently with Johnny Wilson of the Streamline Training Show. We discuss a range of topics including Herman Ponser's book 'Burn' and how energy expenditure works, the #800gChallenge® for dietary improvement, and effective workout strategies for busy parents. We also address the benefits of consistent exercise, practical nutrition advice for maintaining lifelong health, and methods for incorporating healthier eating habits in both adults and children. Special attention is given to overcoming the challenges faced by those with restricted time and the noticeable lifestyle shifts that occur around middle age.
