Now, someone might be listening and say, well, what if instead of doing two exercises a day, what if I worked out like once or twice a week for an hour? You can do that. But I think lifting daily for a short period of time is more anti-catabolic. For sure. Or is more apt to preserve muscle than the two days a week workout, even if all the time is the same.

every single day, what you're sending is a nice signal to the body daily that says, keep muscle, keep muscle, keep muscle, keep muscle every single day. And it's just two exercises. Now the idea though, the way you do the lifting, by the way, is traditional lifting. So you're lifting weights to get stronger. You're not doing circuit training. You're not hammering yourself with hit cardio.

It's literally, I'm doing eight reps and then I'm resting for two minutes and then I'm gonna do it again and then rest for two minutes and do two lifts. That I'll take you about 15.

Great point. All right, next up, drink about a half a gallon to a gallon of water a day. Okay. First off, this is... for most people going to optimize their health from a hydration standpoint. So yes, it's more water than you need.

You don't need that much water, but in our experience, uh, training many clients, a half a gallon to a gallon a day improves people's health, digestion, reduces inflammation. They feel better. Uh, it tends to help with fat loss, muscle gain, et cetera, et cetera. But here in energy, here's why it's so important here for this group though.

What we find with people on GLP-1s is not only is their hunger signal dampened, but so is their thirst signal. So when I said in the beginning of this episode, 40% of the weight is lean body mass loss, and I said, and a lot of that is muscle, it's because part of that is actually fluid. It's actually, people lose hydration.

Now, keep in mind, your muscles are 70% fluid, and a muscle that isn't well hydrated also tends to cause muscle loss. So what you want to do is you want to keep yourself hydrated, and this is more important for this group. And when I've talked to our friends who are doctors and experts in this, they tell me, oh, yeah, people have to track their water because they don't have an appetite.
