In episode 8 I debunk all the reasons why you think fat loss happened that are not energy balance. The reasons why you thought weight loss occurred is actually just because of energy balance.  The reasons why someone told you weight loss occurred is also actually because of energy balance. Listen on to hear me rant about bullshit reasons why people think fat loss happened when IT'S STILL E.B. I also rant about why fat burners are silly, and a waste of time.

Episode 7 of the Macabolic podcasts covers 1. Everyone has disordered eating programmed into their brain, but for most, it lays dormant because no situations occur that make/ have made it visible. 2. How you can't beat disordered eating, you can simply mask it by using smart approaches based on your own personality traits.  3. The level of extremities of fat loss dieting has an inverse relationship with food obsession. The longer, the more extreme the diet, the greater the food obsession.  4. Fat loss dieting to 'super lean' levels require points of aggressive calorie deficits and therefore extreme hunger on chronic levels.  5. The greater the fat loss, the leaner you wish to get, the higher the risk of developing/exposing disordered eating habits and a unhealthy relationship with food.  6. How my battle with disordered eating, extreme binge tendencies and a unhealthy relationship food effected my overall happiness and self worth.  7. The chain of events that lead to the visibility of my disordered eating habits, leading to a large fat gain over the latter stages of 2016, despite attempts to get leaner at the time. 8. What the vicious restrict, depression, binge cycle looked like as something caught in it.  9. How I utilised strategies to suffocate my disordered eating habits, and how it took patience, failures and trial and error.  10. Determining weather a linear or non-linear dieting approach is right for your personality type, for fat loss diet adherence.
