Cody explains his concerns about rapid weight loss through appetite suppression, including rebound weight gain, hunger returning after stopping the medication, and the risk of undernourishment when people eat too little for too long. He also walks through the FAST40 framework, including removing added sugar and refined carbs, using plant based supplements, eating real food, and testing foods after the first 40 days to see how the body responds. Bryan pushes him on the details, asks how the method works in real life, and finds more overlap with his own coaching philosophy than he expected.

Tip: Start by finding your personal "recovery number"—hours of sleep, minutes of foam rolling, or recovery work required to match your training load.
