  • Swimming & Weight Loss: The Truth About Shedding Pounds | EP 100

    Swimming & Weight Loss: The Truth About Shedding Pounds | EP 100
    Mar 4 2025

    Blake here,

    In today's episode we're diving into weight loss and swimming. No fluff, no gimmicks—just the truth about how weight loss actually works and why swimming can be a great tool (but not the magic solution). We’ll cover the health trifecta—exercise, nutrition, and sleep—why calorie deficits are king, and common obstacles like post-swim hunger that can throw you off track.

    I’ll also share my own weight loss journey—how I dropped 90 pounds and kept it off. If you’re looking to lose weight, whether you swim or not, my website StartSwimming.com is going to be live VERY SOON, I promise, and I’m ready to help!

    Also, big news—I’m taking a short break for a few months, but I’ll be back soon with more episodes! In the meantime, follow me on X and Instagram @blaketdavis64
