Ask Kim: Fat Burners, Cosmetic Procedures, the Best Way to Shred When Your Time Is Limited & More - Live Q&A - EP86

We are back with another episode of our much-loved Q&A-style podcasts!

 

(I am hosting a LIVE “Ask Kim” on my Instagram at 7pm UK | 2pm EDT for 4 weeks straight.)

 

This was another really fun episode, filled to the brim with the juiciest and most popular questions! 

 

In the fitness industry, there are quite a few controversial & popular topics. In the previous episode, I discussed one of them: steroid use amongst bodybuilders (definitely go check that out if you haven’t yet).

 

In this episode, I tackle another popular one: FAT BURNERS! Not only do I give you the scoop on the two different types of fat burners that are out there, but I also tell you my absolute favorites (including one that isn’t even known to be a fat burner in the traditional sense) and how to take them safely.

 

I also give you a little-known tip for shuttling more nutrients into the muscles instead of being stored as fat, how to squat for bigger legs, how to know when to increase calories during a build, and soooo much more! 

 

You are really going to love how much I packed into this episode!

 

Below are today’s questions:

 

1:00 What is the best cosmetic procedure you have done that you would do again and recommend?

11:20 How much bread do you eat (daily or weekly)?

15:11 During shredding, is it better to do cardio or weights on a day when you only have one hour available?

“Never save energy on an exercise. You go to failure on your final set of an exercise!”

 

“A lot of people want to have the rectus abdominis, the six-pack on the front of the body. But those abs are completely useless in terms of keeping your body healthy. The only thing the rectus abdominis muscles are good for is breathing—they just move your diaphragm in and out.”

What It Really Takes To Become Ms. Olympia — Interview with Angelica Teixeira - Episode 83

Most people don’t understand what it really takes to build the body of a physique athlete. And when you decide to train for the competition stage, what is required of you - both mentally and physically - is even more astronomical than you could ever imagine.

 

When I think back to my competing days, many of those memories are very dark. I will never forget those cardio sessions, especially towards the end, where I was starving, exhausted, and going utterly insane.

 

I had to find a way to get through each cardio session without wanting to quit entirely. I would watch one of my favorite bikini idols, Angelica Teixiera, and her videos would literally give me life and motivate me to keep pushing. I wouldn’t feel so alone - like someone else understood the darkness I was experiencing.

 

Little did she know how many times she has saved me from that internal chaos.

 

...until I brought her on my podcast and told her in person!

 

I am so excited to share this episode with you. Angelica is a 2x Ms. Olympia titleholder and 4x Arnold Champion (among many other titles). She knows firsthand what it means to withstand the immense pressure brought on by the competitive bodybuilding world. In fact, it took her 20 shows before she earned her pro card — talk about persevering and never quitting. She is the epitome of grit and determination!

 

Listen in as she opens up about life as a bikini competitor, how she got started, how she really feels about dieting for shows, and what her future plans are.

 

Oh, and she also shares something extra juicy I know you all will love — her absolute favorite glute-building exercise (Brazilians are known for their gorgeous glutes after all. Am I right?) — and it’s not what you think!

Enjoy!

Debunking Soy and Other Vegan Diet Myths — Interview with James Wilks - Episode 82

Did you know 8 out of 10 plant-based people are female, and 5 out of 6 people who go meat-free end up going back? What about the fact that the estrogen found in animals is identical to human estrogen, whereas plant estrogen is entirely different from the human form? Or that over the past 20 yrs in over 50 clinical trials on the use of soy in the alleviation of hot flashes, a meta-analysis shows a significant, measurable reduction in menopausal symptoms?

 

This is only the tip of the iceberg of what science shows us about a plant-based diet, and it’s the exact opposite of what most people are hearing.

 

In today’s podcast episode — the one we’ve ALL been waiting for — I had the pleasure of talking about science and the behavioral psychology surrounding a plant-based diet with James Wilks.

 

James is the producer and narrator of The Game Changers, the most-viewed documentary of all time, showcasing the dramatic rise of plant-based eating in professional sports! 

 

(He is best known for winning Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter and serves as a combatives trainer for government agencies, including the US Marshals, US Marines, and US Navy SEALs. Holy hell, right?)

 

He spent over 7 years researching everything there was to know about a plant-based diet, and let me tell you, it shows! He is brilliant and shared some shocking information that I know you will LOVE.

 

(My husband went fully plant-based after watching this documentary. It is mind-blowing!)

 

Find out what happened to him that ended up being a catalyst towards his research for this movie. You are going to love not only his story but also the way he presents the literature.

 

I know you will thoroughly enjoy this episode!!

Why Do We Want More For Less? - Episode 81

Most people have an inverted relationship with work. They associate work with something difficult. We’ve conditioned ourselves that work is tedious, has to be done, and isn’t supposed to be fun. And the more we do it, the more miserable we are. This is normal, right? Wrong!

 

This actually only happens when we are in a job we don’t like that isn’t fulfilling. 

 

I have been getting ready for the re-launch of The Million Dollar Mentor. I created a free 5-day training, and in the group, I asked what everyone wanted — what they truly wanted out of life. And you know what the overwhelming majority said? They want to earn more money while working less. This isn’t shocking, right? It seems that everyone wants this. And I used to be the same.

 

Until I grew into a multimillion-dollar brand and realized that the more money I make, the more I work. And that I actually prefer this because my purpose in life is being met through my work! It took me years of doing more work than I’d ever done in my life to reach the point I’m at now and let me tell you — I work even more now.

 

But I’m able to do more of the things I love because of the hard work I do, and that is the key. You have to be willing to work harder than you’ve ever done before. We don’t want to work less — we want the freedom to do the things we love!

 

Listen to the massive wake-up call I had right before the launch of Buns & Guns that catapulted me back into the driver’s seat and back in control of my happiness and my quest for fulfilling my life’s purpose.

 

You definitely don’t want to miss this!
