In this episode, I simplify fat loss terminology, explaining the key concepts behind dieting, energy balance, and nutrition strategies. I break down common misconceptions about caloric deficits, macronutrients, adherence, meal timing, and satiety, helping you understand how to make fat loss more sustainable and effective. I also discuss the importance of tracking food intake accurately, how different macronutrients affect energy expenditure, and why adherence is the most critical factor in any diet.
