Today I dive deep into the mix-up between weight loss and health gain, and how that’s not always the way it plays out (quite often, it’s actually not) but it’s a societal belief and the story we hear over and over. I cover topics like the most important question to ask yourself before attempting weight loss, common weight loss resistance factors, figuring out your exact caloric need, weight loss vs. fat loss, and all the things you’re NOT doing (that you should be).

This is really a two-part discussion and I highly recommend listening to episode 64 which is Part 1 of this topic if you haven’t done already!
