In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page. 

• Mind Pump Fit Tip: Fitness & health is NOT black or white. Long-term success is understanding there is a lot of GREY area. BALANCE is how you stay healthy in the real world. (2:05)

• Adam’s ‘cottage cheese’ ice cream experiment. (16:24)

• Making that conscious effort to be active/physical and get outside. (19:34)

• #Quah question #2 - What are some effective strategies to help clients find the right balance of enjoying their food and tracking their calories and macros, but not being so meticulous that it drives them to give up on themselves? (1:08:04)
