    🎙️ The Safest Way for Runners to Lose Weight (w/ Dr. Nick Fuller)
    Run Smarter Podcast

    Are you running to lose weight but finding the kilos just won’t budge—or worse, keep creeping back on? In this mind-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Nick Fuller, obesity researcher, former elite hurdler, and creator of the Interval Weight Loss (IWL) program, to expose why most diets fail and how runners can finally lose weight sustainably—without wrecking their metabolism.

    🏃‍♂️ What We Cover:

    • Why your body fights back when you diet (hint: it’s not about willpower)
    • The shocking science behind rapid weight loss and long-term weight gain
    • How to prevent injury while losing weight as a runner
    • Why carbs aren’t the enemy—and how cutting them can backfire
    • The 6-step Interval Weight Loss approach (with practical, runner-friendly tips)
    • Patron-submitted questions on fasting, sugar cravings, and weight loss after 40

    🧠 Takeaway for Runners:
    You don’t need fad diets, extreme calorie cuts, or guilt-inducing weigh-ins. You need to understand how your biology works—so you can train smarter and manage your weight without sabotaging your performance or long-term health.


    Lastly, we answer your patron questions around age differences & diet, intermittent fasting approaches and whether the focus should be around 'living healthy' rather than 'weight loss'.
