(21:39) How does Frank work with people differently based upon their starting health?
The differences in training for weight loss versus healthy habits.
A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat, a pound is a pound.
Fat wants to spread out where muscle wants to stay together.

BMI could be skewed depending on fat & muscle

(37:39) We have to do some kind of physical activity to keep the balance.

(39:28) Can you balance calories in and out depending on your activity level?
As long as you eat less calories than you expend (in a healthy balance) within the week you’ll lose.
A net deficit 3500 of calories over the week should result in a loss of weight.
