Summary: In this episode of The Dr. Rob Show we discuss the recent launch of Dr. Rob’s eBook titled The Perfect Weight Loss Solution and describe each of the 3 phases of this weight loss system. We also discuss the best exercise for burning fat, and talk about a recent hiking adventure to describe the ideal form of exercise. In the past, the concept of the “fat burning zone,” which is long duration, low intensity aerobic, or “cardio” based exercise, such as jogging is not effective for burning fat and can actually have a detrimental impact on the body. A recent study conducted in Taiwan found that people who engaged in as little as 15 minutes of moderate to intense exercise daily, reduced their risk of death by 14% and added 3 years to their lifespan. In regards to effectively burning fat, the same holds true. Exercising with more intensity and shorter duration is the ideal way to burn fat. Dr. Rob mentions some colleagues of his who have a company called Metabolic Effect, and they promote “rest-based training,’ which is based on high intensity and short duration exercise. Short duration, high intensity exercise is a better strategy to encourage the body to effectively burn fat. Dr. Maki also mentions another practitioner, Dr. Al Sears and discusses his new book titled PACE, which aligns with this approach to fitness.
