Do a push-up every time you hear the word ‘calories’!

Now, I’m fully aware you’re probably sick of the wordcalories, but this week I got asked the question:“Carla, a calorie deficit doesn’t make me lose fat, what do I do?”

And it made me realise that, although there’s a wealth of info on fat loss online, it can actually make things even more confusing.

Fat loss is actually a very simple process, and once understood, it empowers you to make better decisions around food.

So here it is in one place. 

We’re going to chat through…

• Energy balance
• Different methods to achieve fat loss – why they work/don’t work
• Do you need to count calories?
• How to know if a calorie deficit is actually not working
• Reasons why you’re not losing fat
• Measuring fat loss properly & common mistakes
• TheSUPER COOL thing about energy balance
• What to do when you go over calories
• Metabolic adaptation & ‘broken metabolisms’
• How to set your targets
• Diet breaks
• And how to actually lose fat

In today's episode, we chat about dealing with family resistance to your fitness goals.

I'm a huge family girly, I come from a home of 7 who I love. I understand how difficult it can be showing up for yourself when you're environment isn't aligned with your personal goals.

If you’ve ever had a family member question your exercise routine, food choices, or you feel as thought they're 'sabotaging' your progress (intentionally or not), this one’s for you!

From those well-meaning (but frustrating) comments, setting boundaries, and staying focused on what you really want, even when your family doesn’t quite get it - I got you!

So if you’re feeling stuck or unsupported at home, let’s get into it!
