In this podcast, Drs. Baraki and Feigenbaum discuss training during weight loss. While increased exercise can support health, dietary restriction is the primary method for weight loss. They note that strength, muscle mass, and endurance can be maintained during modest calorie deficits, with studies showing significant gains even in large deficits in trained individuals. It was also noted that the size of the energy deficit matters, with small deficits having minimal effects and larger, sustained deficits being detrimental. Practical recommendations include meeting physical activity guidelines, maintaining protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day, and a moderate calorie deficit of 250-500 calories per day.

The podcast discusses what happens when people stop exercising, how much exercise is necessary, and how to program exercise with limited time.
Recommendations for training on limited time:
- Resistance training: 3-5 sets per muscle group per week of compound exercises at >65% 1RM for strength. Add isolation exercises if desired.
- Conditioning: 150 mins/week moderate or 75 mins/week vigorous intensity. Split up however you want. Be careful about doing too much sprint/max intensity work. Gradually build up if desired.
- Strategies for efficient programming include:
- Modifying warm-ups to be more time-efficient (short rest, less reps, bigger jumps)
- Using supersets of antagonist muscle groups or unrelated movements
- Employing "every two- or three- minute on the minute" protocols. e.g. E2MOM or E3MOM: 5 @ 8, then 65% x 5 e2mom x 3 sets or > RPE 8
- Use time caps on sessions, e.g. 20-minutes for movement 1 or work up to 1-rep @ RPE 8 in 8 minutes, then 12 minutes perform maximum sets of 3 to 5 reps with 70% e1RM
- Flexibility in scheduling is key - focus on getting the total amount of work done over a 1-2 month period rather than worrying about perfect weekly routines
