    Watched the whole thing. Very interesting. Reminding me just how complex my body is gets me all tingly inside.

    Some people are just objectively more screwed.
    Birth control is a god awful nightmare.

    Lyle makes me smile...I appreciate the lack of BS.

    Thanks for sharing. More info than I've seen re:the new women's book so far on the site.

    Love it. But I'm starting to shut down during the birth control discussion.

    Wow, that was super interesting. I had time to kill anyway and this was a good use of that time :)

    lol I watched the whole thing and then put on my IceCream4PRs podcast and the new episode was Lyle talking about the same thing so I listened to an hour of that while grocery shopping.

    I have PCOS and I'm pretty sure I just learned stuff about myself that not even my doctors have ever bothered to explain. Thank you sooooo much for posting this. Also "Dude chick" lol. That's what my husband calls me, and it's a compliment when he says it. :smiley:

    It certainly makes me feel better knowing that women are so variable, adaptable, versatile and that is why we can be doing everything as we have been told, but don't see the results men do.

    Plus I'm rethinking my diet and exercise plan around my monthly cycle.

    Lyle is the man. Makes me rather glad to be one as well, and more sympathy with my wife. The book might be a revelation. High hopes and baited breath. The channel is also rather good so thank you for the new resource.

    Run out of time. Can anyone quickly summarise what we have need to do around our monthly cycle? Can we eat more?? Can we?

    I watched the whole thing. It explains alot. I wish he had gone into more detail on menopause though. Yes, it's harder for a female to lose that last 20 lbs and keep it off. We need a strategy to be successful. Drawing back to study mine................ Thanks for the link.

    I found it incredibly interesting from a physiology point of view. My take away was that there are a lot more mitigating factors for women but it is what it is and being aware of those things is half the battle in overcoming them and adjusting both your effort and expectations accordingly.

    Same here.

    The math is the same for males and females, but females have a whole slew of other things coming in to play. This can make weight(fat) loss more difficult, both mentally and physically. Weight loss is less likely to be linear, and then there's the added insult of potential strength setbacks for those that lift.

    I may watch this again so I can take better note of a few things and try playing around with my workouts a bit based on the info he shared.
