b'This is a rebroadcast. This episode originally aired January 2019.\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re like a lot of men listening to this podcast, you\\u2019ve likely made it a goal to lose some weight this year. But if you\\u2019re also like a lot of men listening to this podcast, you\\u2019ve made that goal before, maybe even succeeded with it, but have had to make it again because you gained all the weight back. My guest today argues that losing weight is actually pretty easy. The real trick is keeping it off.\\n\\nHis name is\\xa0Layne Norton. He\\u2019s a professional bodybuilder, powerlifter, and doctor of nutritional science, and today on the show we discuss all things fat loss. We begin our conversation discussing why losing weight is easier than keeping it off, the mechanisms that kick into gear once we shed body fat that cause us to gain all of it, and even more back, and why yo-yo dieting is so terrible for you.\\n\\nWe then dig into whether there\\u2019s one diet that\\u2019s the most effective in helping you lose fat, the tactics you need to use to keep the weight off in the long run, and the real reason exercise plays a role in helping you do so, which isn\\u2019t what you think.'
