I take a similar approach with my clients Hive account@xel I'm not a big fan of cardio for weight loss, I'd rather teach them how to manage their calories.

Most of them come to me with the idea established in their heads that they must have a post workout shake but when we sit down and work out how many calories they are eating, they are in surplus just from from what they eat. Add the post workout meal and they can go up to 1000 Kcal over maintenance every day or sometimes even more.

That may be OK for an 18 year old bodybuilder with more testosterone than a bull, but not so good for most women or men past about 28-30 years old.

They soon see why they weren't losing weight even though they were beating themselves up with loads of hard training and added cardio.

Cool post, I'll upvote you tomorrow when my steem power comes back up.
