Sal Di Stefano (2:50)

Losing body fat can be very difficult. In fact, it's one of the most challenging things to do when it comes to fitness. But here's the deal, there are myths that people believe that make it way harder. We're gonna go over five of them right now. If you believe these myths to be true, fat loss will be all but impossible. Let's get to it.

Adam Schafer (3:09)

So is Justin officially on the bulk since you and I are on the, is that what we've decided?

SPEAKER_6 (3:16)

I think we should announce that. I think it just subtly happens. We've transferred our fat loss.

Justin Andrews (3:21)

We gotta maintain that group weight.

Adam Schafer (3:23)

Somebody needs to write it down just to see because it would be fun.

Sal Di Stefano (3:25)

Our total body weight is always the same. Someone loses, someone else gains.

Justin Andrews (3:29)

You guys are a little too lean right now, so I gotta really pick up the pace.

Sal Di Stefano (3:33)

So I wanted to talk about these because I'm currently in Adamist too, which is interesting. We're both kind of synced up, not on purpose.

Adam Schafer (3:40)

Yeah, no, it wasn't intentional at all.

Sal Di Stefano (3:42)

No, and in fact, I was talking about this last week with you, is that sometimes in the winter, this is actually the most often time it happens, as things cool off, weather-wise, this is when I tend to want to drop body fat, which is typical opposite.

Adam Schafer (3:57)

I think that's why I said to him, I was like, we were speculating on why is that? And I'm like-

Sal Di Stefano (4:03)

Because nobody's gonna see me lean in the winter.

Adam Schafer (4:05)
