If you really focus on the health of being a healthy human, we have literally decades of research that points toward a lot of very basic things like moving your body more.
Ever thought a little friendly competition might help you shed those extra pounds? Erin Green and Michael Gray, hosts of 'Middleish', are here to shake things up. In this episode, they dive into the world of weight loss competitions and reveal why these contests might not be as healthy as they seem.
Whether it’s workplace challenges, TV shows like 'The Biggest Loser', or even personal battles against the scale, Erin and Michael discuss the potential pitfalls of turning weight loss into a race. They argue that focusing on daily habits and health-based goals is a far more sustainable approach. Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and recovering professional triathlete, shares her journey from regimented training to rediscovering the joy of spontaneous movement.
Michael, a personal trainer and nutritional coach, brings his perspective on balancing fitness with life's little pleasures (like gummy bears!). Together, they offer a balanced and relatable discussion on the importance of setting realistic goals and making informed decisions about health. They also touch on the dangers of extreme weight loss methods and the value of neutral information when it comes to diet and fitness. Their conversation is peppered with humor and real-life anecdotes, making it both educational and entertaining.
So, if you’re tired of all-or-nothing thinking and want to learn how to be a healthier human without the stress of competition, this episode is for you.
