Comment of the Week
"In my experience, Mark doesn't advocate pushing yourself to the point where you need painkillers or multiple days off. In fact, he has spoken at length about avoiding "crushing" yourself in the gym as it doesn't make evolutionary sense to be non-functional for a period after a workout. . I think the point is to challenge yourself in a way that produces a compensatory response in the body. "Failure" doesn't have to mean struggling to get every last ugly rep, it can be failure of form, grace, etc. It is a relative term. In other words, don't leave 10 reps in the tank and expect to make strength or fitness gains. This is different than the approach to microworkouts, which is about increasing movement rather than a particular fitness goal. In any case, it sounds like you've found a way that works for you. Cheers!"

-Well said, Brad.

Hey folks, Board-Certified Health Coach Chloe Maleski is here to answer your questions about healthy weight loss. Want to feel lighter and more at home in your body? We're here with guidance and support! Have a question you'd like to ask our health coaches? Leave it below in the comments or over in the Mark's Daily Apple Facebook group. Jordan asked: "How do I lose 10 pounds FAST! I have a friend's wedding coming up, need to fit in my bridesmaid's dress, and put off losing my Covid weight because…Summer. I know this isn't the best way to do it, but help!" Hi, Jordan! First, take a deep breath and know that you're not alone in feeling like health, fitness, and wellness goals fell by the wayside this Summer. Similarly, many folks put on extra, unwanted weight over the past few years. A lot has happened! A lot is still happening! Not feeling our best or most comfortable in our body can be particularly stressful when we have special occasions ahead. This is doubly true when there's pressure (internally or from others) to fit into a particular outfit, look a certain way, or be "on display." Just to say: I get it. And…you're spot on: The "lose weight fast" approach is never the optimal path towards healthy, sustainable change. That said, there are steps you can do in the immediate term…and steps to set you up for success long after the wedding. Let's break it down. How to Fit into That Dress To start with the obvious: Is there any way to alter or change up the dress? I know, I know…a wedding's a big day and often requires advance planning and great expense. Still, if there's an option to tailor your dress or choose a new one, please know there's zero shame in that. You want to enjoy your friend's special day. Doing so will be way easier if you're wearing something that fits! I recognize this might entail having an honest, vulnerable conversation with your friend or others involved in the planning process. While that may be difficult, folks sometimes respond better than expected. In fact, they may be experiencing similar places of insecurity. Try to keep all of this in perspective. However special the occasion, it's one day. It's also about way more than a dress. This time next year, what you wore will be the last thing anyone remembers. As a Primal Health Coach (and not a stylist or tailor), I do have more to suggest. You didn't mention how far away the big day is, but I get the sense it's coming soon. That's fine. Even if you followed the guidance I'm about to offer for just one week, you'd still feel lighter and more at home in your dress and your skin. Our bodies truly are on our side and are remarkably responsive when we give them what they need to thrive. Even better news? What they need isn't complicated and doesn't have to … Continue reading "Ask a Health Coach: How Do I Lose 10 Pounds Fast?"
