Thanks for listening to another episode of the Women’s Maximum Fitness Podcast! 

In this episode #82 Registered Dietician and figure IFBB Pro Hailey Wegner is back (now officially an RD) to debunk diet myths with me! You’re going to love this one!

Diet myths debunked: 

1.       Women need to eat 1200 calories to lose weight/body fat. 

2.       You need to do a cleanse or detox before you begin a diet to reset metabolism and prime your body for fat loss.

3.       Carbs make you fat/You must cut out carbs to lose body fat or do keto. 

4.       You must eat several meals a day to stoke your metabolism. 

5.       Intermittent fasting is the best way to lose body fat. 

6.       You can’t eat 2 hours before bedtime or it will get stored as fat. How should you optimally appropriate food around bedtime? 

7.       One high calorie meal or binge can blow all your progress and make you gain back the fat you lost and then some. What do you do after you “mess up”?

8.       You should eat back or subtract the calories burned on your fitness tracker or the “calories burned” on the cardio machine to determine how much weight you will lose in a week. 

9.       Maintaining weight and maintenance calories are the same thing. What’s the concerns with chronic deficit dieting and how do we incorporate diet breaks/refeeds/untracked meals for health and adherence? 

10.   All you have to do is eat clean to lose weight. Intuitive eating, tracked, and untracked eating are all ways to diet, how do you determine which is best for your goals?

11.   The scale is the best/only way to measure physique progress. What are good ways of tracking/measuring physique progress?

Bonus Questions:

How do you set up a diet? (general overview with macros)

How much weight should one lose per week to optimize the fat loss per centages?

How might you adjust your diet according to your menstrual cycle? 

We concluded with some funny convo about social media!
