034. Why "Calories In, Calories Out" Is Keeping You Stuck | with Esteban Lutz pt 2

• Jenna and Esteban discuss why the 'calories in, calories out' model is fundamentally flawed and why exercise should not be used as a justification for poor dietary choices.

If I were to consume 300 calories of poison ivy, 300 calories of ice cream, 300 calories of broccoli, 300 calories of steak, my body's going to respond differently to every single one of those.

• Esteban explains that many fitness professionals rely on outdated metrics because they lack long-term tenure or updated education.

Most individuals, most professionals don't go beyond five years. So you're looking at 85, 90% of the professionals that you're going to work with don't have tenure or five years or more.

• The conversation shifts to what clients should look for when hiring a coach, emphasizing the need for constant learning and a 'gut check' on the coach's character.

It's identifying somebody that you believe in. That's a gut thing. Two, what is their resume? You know, are they getting results with people? And three, whether it's an upfront thing or you find out as you're with them, you want somebody that's constantly studying.
