Featured Topic: Can Some Foods Cripple Your Body's Ability To Burn Fat?
In today's featured topic, I interview Jonathan Bailor, author of a soon-to-be released book on smart and healthy eating, why Americans have gotten fat, and what we can do about it. During our discussion, I ask Jonathan:
1) which foods can cripple our ability to burn fat?
2) how can we burn fat without changing how many calories we eat? Is that possible?
3) do people spend too much time on cardio?
4) what form of exercise is best for maximizing fat loss?
5) how can we fix hormonal issues that could be causing fat gain or inability to lose weight?
6) You say that big business and government are burying all of this so that they can keep their oversized profits and budgets. Please expound.
As soon as I have more details on Jonathan's forthcoming book, I'll let you know!

Listener Q&A:
Shawn asks: Like many people, I have a hectic work schedule, and busy family life. Any tips on some good 15-20 minute core workouts I can do, in home and or office, when I just don't have time to make it to the gym? TriHollywood asks via Twitter: @bengreenfield How much does a 'cheat' or 'reward' meal screw up your metabolism?
TriHollywood also asks vai Twitter: @bengreenfield What's the best way to do a warm up when starting a strength/resistance session?
In my response to TriHollywood, I recommend he visit this Get-Fit Guy's Quick and Dirty Tips article: "How To Warm-Up and Cool-Down", which covers the topic of warming up.
Meredith asks: I am planning to partake in just a few drinks next weekend ,so my question is...should I eat a carb appetizer or protein before I have my first drink, or does it matter?
Constance asks: I noticed at the Spokane Triathlon that many athletes had difficulty during transitions with cold/numb extremities. What are your tips for cold management during triathlons? (e.g., what to put on clothes-wise and how, when you are wet?)
In my response to Constance, I mention Greyhound Juice - use discount code BGF for 5% discount.
Payam asks: You often suggest quinoa as a healthy alternative to other sources of carbs. However, I have read that it is high in sapponins, which are essentially a poison. Is this true, and what steps should be taken to minimize the sapponin content.
Chuck asks: With my history of an eating disorder, I have been diagnosed with low testosterone. A few years back, I went to specialist in this area and she told me that my low testosterone was due to my body fat levels being so low. Is my low testosterone a cause of not eating enough fat in my diet or would it be a cause of having too low a body fat % (other factors aside)?
Josie asks: I just came across this news article that was on my homepage and I was wondering what you thought about it.
