Summary: ------------------------------------<br> ♦ Q&A – Ask Me Anything Session ♦<br> ------------------------------------<br> The Coach opens the floor and takes questions from the audience about a variety of topics on physique, fitness training, diet and metabolism.<br> <br> Don't be fooled by unimportant factors overstated by the industry! Well-funded research and common sense often debunk these industry misconceptions that create mass confusion.<br> <br> <br> ♦ Fitness, Nutrition, Diet Strategies, Zen Mentality, and More ♦<br> <br> • Scott opens with a rant about misinformation spread online about diet.<br> <br> • Sometimes a good coach doesn’t change what the client is doing, if what they’re doing can’t be substantively improved.<br> <br> • Scott reads two letters from listeners who answered his last week’s question: “what’s the attraction for women to compete.”<br> <br> On to the Q&A<br> • Lower levels of consciousness are marked by need for stimulation, validation, and attention.<br> <br> • Higher levels of consciousness are marked by autonomy, mastery, and purpose.<br> <br> • Credible, long-term, academic research provides overwhelming evidence that a plant-based diet is healthiest.<br> <br> • Aerobic activity does have health benefits, just not cosmetic benefits.<br> <br> • All training is cardiovascular…not all training is aerobic.<br> <br> • Functional imbalance is contextual. For instance, a right-handed tennis player will be right side dominant. Imbalances aren’t the same as side-dominance.<br> <br> • Putting a child on a diet puts them on a path to a future eating disorder.<br> <br> • Heart rate monitors have no value while working out (Excludes those under medical supervision, as in cardiac rehab).<br> <br> • Scott discusses the research on long-term results of keto dieting and its unfavorable long-term health results.<br> <br> • Unlearning is the highest form of learning (attributed to Einstein). Being objective is difficult.<br> <br> • Slow-controlled reps as with tempo training misunderstands the concept of time under tension. Tempo training attempts to externally control an internal physiologic process (i.e. muscle overload).<br> <br> • Diets have to be sustainable to work. Having to do a diet twice proves the point.<br> <br> • Keto causes loss of lean mass.<br> <br> • What are the benefits of fruit? What aren’t the benefits of fruit.<br> <br> • Losing yourself in the gym is a form of meditation. Put away the cell phone and immediate distractors.<br> <br> • Complex routines are [probably] nonsense. Einstein said things should be as simple as possible.<br> <br> <br> -----------------------<br> LINKS & RESOURCES<br> -----------------------<br> Get a free starter pack of resources and exercises to deal with emotional eating issues right now:<br> http://scottabelfitness.com/foodissues<br> <br> • Follow Coach Scott Abel Now:<br> <br> Main Website<br> https://scottabelfitness.com/<br> <br> Facebook<br> https://www.facebook.com/CoachScottAbel/<br> <br> YouTube<br> https://www.youtube.com/user/scottabelcoaching
