2263: How Much Protein is Ideal, Ways to Tell Your Metabolism is Improving, When to Add a Deload Week & More

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page. 

• Mind Pump Fit Tip: If you want to get leaner, BUMP your calories! (1:59)

• Team Peanut Butter or Jelly? (10:31)

• Using Joy Mode to boost energy not just in the bedroom. (15:55)

• Justin’s fashion muse. (20:34)

• A PSA for all parents attending their kid’s sporting events. (24:10)

• NASM has amazing offers on courses you may not expect. (33:26)

• We MUST face this obesity epidemic. (36:46)

• Weight Watchers and GLP-1. (38:41)

• Daddy’s little girl. (51:04)

• Sal shares his latest interest in Vagus nerve stimulation. (53:12)

• Shout out to the Mission City Monarchs. (55:20)

• #Quah question #1 - I’m on a reverse diet. I do not want to weigh myself because it messes with my mind. How do I know my metabolism is improving? (58:33)

• #Quah question #2 - Was listening to some old episodes and the protein recommended was .5-.7 grams per pound. When and why did that change to 1 gram per pound? (1:00:34)

• #Quah question #3 - Hearing people say they eat a lot of grams of protein and when I ask about portions, it seems low. Do you think a lot of people don’t realize that 100g chicken breast isn’t 100g protein? I’ve come to realize a lot of people have misconceptions. (1:02:56)

• #Quah question #4 - Is it a good idea to do a deloading week after each phase of a workout plan? (1:08:13)
