Embrace Your Real

There are many people that are scared of eating fat. But what they do not know is that, fat is an essential part of our diet and is important for good health. Fats are nutrients in food that the body uses to build cell membranes, nerve tissue, and hormones. In fact, the body uses it as fuel. If you are scared of fat, listen to this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast. I am going to discuss why fat is mandatory for building the body you want, what it does inside your body that makes it powerful, how it effects your hungry levels, metabolism, energy levels, nutrient absorption, and more. What I discuss:

1. Incorporating fats into your daily food intake ensures that you're full and satisfied after your meals.
2. Eating fat keeps your hormones balanced.
3. Eating healthy fats can help increase muscle mass, which can in turn help burn fat.
4. It improves nutrient absorption.
5. You can eat ALL THE FOODS YOU LOVE!

Change in body composition. Weight Loss. Are the two one and the same? Or are they entirely different from each other? In this episode of Embrace Your Real podcast, I will give you the differences between changing your body composition vs weight loss to help guide you into getting the body that you desire and love. What I discuss:

1. The purpose of weight loss is to reduce the overall amount of body weight – to simply reduce the number you see on the scale.
2. The methods used for changing your body composition and losing weight are different.
3. The majority of people who are working to lose weight are not doing it in the healthiest of ways. They are restricting calories, cutting out food groups, depriving themselves, over exercising, etc. This leads to a plethora of negative health effects. Changing your body composition promotes amazing healthy benefits that increase your longevity.
4. Losing weight will result in a smaller overall body size, but it's not going to give you the body that you want. Changing body composition leads to a more toned and defined body.
5. Living in a constant caloric deficit is hard especially because the second you eat more calories, you instantly gain the weight back. Changes in body composition are typically more gradual and stable leading you to not seeing much fluctuations…which is what you want!
