Rewind: Everything You Need to Know About Fat Loss (Simple Strategies for a Fitter, Leaner Body)

(This is a re-run of Ep 40. Originally aired on January 10, 2023) 

Whether you're trying to lose extra weight, switch to a fat loss phase after building muscle, get lifestyle lean, or finally achieve success with your new year’s resolution, this episode will help you get there.
 
You will learn everything you need to know about fat loss so you can lose the weight and keep it off sustainably, efficiently, and in a way that actually improves how you look and feel for the long term.
 
This is NOT a “rapid weight loss” prescription. This is a “fat loss for life” approach that I use with clients that you can use on your own with a little bit of knowledge, practice, and accountability.
 
Today you’ll learn all about:

• The 3 principles that make fat loss possible, easier, and maintainable
• The most important behavior to maintain muscle during fat loss
• Which macro is the "body composition" macro and how much you need
• What data to collect to maximize your results and consistency
• What to do before you actually start a calorie deficit
• How fast you can and should lose weight
• The most important consideration when selecting foods during a fat loss phase
• The easiest way to boost your metabolism during fat loss
• What you're doing TOO MUCH of, and what to do instead
• The simplest way to reduce overall stress and also belly fat!
• How to avoid diet fatigue
