If you've been feeling frustrated with your journey, hitting plateaus, or just wondering why things aren't working despite all your efforts, this episode is for you.
We’ll cover 5 things no one told you about weight loss…
Here’s a sneak peek:
- You Burn More Than 1,200 Calories a Day Just by Existing
- Your body is constantly working to keep you alive—even when you’re doing nothing. This means you’re burning calories without even moving, thanks to something called your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). The key is not to fall into the trap of drastically cutting calories, as this can damage your metabolic health.
- Cutting Carbs Can Increase Stress and Lower Energy
- Contrary to popular belief, cutting carbs can elevate your cortisol (stress hormone) levels, making it harder to lose fat—especially for women over 35. Instead, the focus should be on eating high-quality, whole carbs that fuel your body, rather than eliminating them entirely.
- Mindset is the Key to Sustainable Weight Loss
- Weight loss isn’t just about food and exercise; it’s also about how you think. If you don’t work on your mindset, you’ll likely find yourself stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage. Believing that you deserve to feel good in your skin and making peace with the process is crucial for long-term success.
- Skipping Meals Can Lead to Weight Gain
- Skipping meals or undereating can send your body into "survival mode," which slows down your metabolism. When you finally eat, your body stores calories as fat because it doesn’t know when it will be nourished again. Eating regular, balanced meals helps keep your metabolism running smoothly.
- Healthy Eating Doesn’t Always Mean Fat Loss
- You can eat all the wholesome, nutrient-dense foods you want, but if you’re not in a calorie deficit, you won’t lose fat. It’s all about striking the right balance and understanding your body’s energy requirements, without having to resort to restrictive diets or calorie tracking.
