Claims that fasting “detoxifies” or “cleanses” the body are misleading. Your liver, kidneys, lungs and digestive system continuously remove waste products regardless of whether you are fasting. Graham & Angus discuss fasting and how Angus uses it to manage his calorie window.
In this episode they cover: The most common fasting myths and where they come from What fasting can and can't do for fat loss How Angus uses fasting practically to manage his calorie window Whether fasting is a sustainable long-term strategy or just short-term misery What actually matters when it comes to losing fat and keeping it off

More from Lift For Life with Graham and Angus
Graham and Angus explore what happens to our energy needs as we get older. If we are not proactive, decline is obviously inevitable, from a remarkably young age, and weight gain exacerbates the physical degeneration. Fortunately, it’s simple to prevent or reverse. The role of muscle is critical. Common myths are unpacked. Nutrition and staying active will help you stay strong, manage your weight and keep doing the things you love.
You join a gym, train hard for a few weeks, then work, travel or life gets in the way and you feel back at square one. In this episode, Graham and Angus explore how to break that cycle by setting realistic goals, building a routine you can sustain and having a simpler plan for busy weeks.
Graham explains how bad habits get stronger with repetition. Angus’ reaction means that this episode becomes quite comical. The basal ganglia help familiar behaviours become automatic, so the more often you respond to stress by scrolling, avoiding or reaching for a drink, the easier that response becomes your default. To “reprogram” the pattern, recognise the trigger and practise a different response. Put the phone down. Go for a walk. Lift weights. You’re teaching your brain a new routine, and that takes repetition. Make the action small enough to repeat, especially on the hard days.___🏋️Ready to stop winging it and start training with purpose, clarity and support? https://jc9cc7oe7jf.typeform.com/to/feOjPDNj-⚫ Get in touch in the comments below or head to...Instagram: Lift For Life - https://www.instagram.com/the_liftforlife_podcast/Instagram: Angus Warburton - https://www.instagram.com/angus_warburton/Instagram: Graham Ambrose - https://www.instagram.com/liftforlife.gdog/
Run clubs are booming, and it’s not really about the running. You get fitter, spend time outdoors, meet new people and have the motivation of a community around you.
Choosing the right gym matters more than people think. From luxury health clubs and hardcore bodybuilding gyms to CrossFit boxes, hotel gyms, community centres, boutique studios, 24-hour chains and some frankly bizarre concepts, there is now a gym for almost everyone.
