He is a fitness and nutrition enthusiast and the author of Ten Easy Wins for Easier Fat Loss Guide.“You need to make progress like intentionality is paired with progress. Because if you're not pushing your body to do something that it's uncomfortable doing, it has no reason to physiologically adapt to any stimulus, right? You need to give your body stimulus that it's not accustomed to if you want your body to look or perform in a way it hasn't performed before.” - Alex FeinbergConnect with him:Twitter: https://twitter.com/alexfeinberg1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexfeinberg1Episode snippets:07:16 - 08:18 - There should be life outside of fitness14:26 - 15:22 - Eat only when you’re hungry and stop eating when you’re full20:04 - 20:45 - The nonlinear biofeedback22:24 - 23:18 - To do shorter cardio exercises that are more sustainable26:28 - 27:20 - Each activity has a different end goal28:56 - 29:30 - Do something you’re uncomfortable doing so the body can adapt to it36:35 - 37:47 - The cravings can tell what the body is asking forConnect with Dr. Ovadia:TwitteriFixHearts WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table WebsiteAmazon Theme Song : Rage AgainstWritten & Performed by Logan Gritton & Colin Gailey(c) 2016 Mercury Retro RecordingsProduced by 38atoms & Jack Heald
