Front Page Fitness

Eric and Lauren open with the fallout from Lauren’s anti-cottage-cheese stance, daylight savings complaints, and Trexler’s reconsidered feelings about New York City after a return visit, before a longer riff on the recent surge of online negativity. From there into the headlines: a survey reporting that cats on vegan diets had lower rates of obesity; a cannabis “run club” that pairs getting high with group runs; and a deeper look at the research on cannabis and sleep. They then break down creatine patches marketed to women for cognitive support, take a listener question on how to define “empty calories” and what share of the diet is acceptable, and close by each building their fitness-foods “Mount Rushmore” before signing off.Join us for new episodes of Front Page Fitness on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm eastern time!Front Page Fitness is proudly presented by the MASS Research Reviewmassresearchreview.comChapters0:00 Intro: cottage cheese, daylight savings & NYC5:47 Uptick in negativity online12:05 Do vegan diets help cats?16:40 The cannabis run club33:02 Creatine patches & fitness marketing49:23 Listener Q: what are "empty calories"?1:01:02 "Mount Rushmore" of fitness foods
