We’ve been conditioned to think that weight loss is the goal. That if we just see the number on the scale go down, we’ll magically get the lean, toned body we want. But that’s not how it works.

Weight loss and body composition are not the same thing. Losing weight just means losing weight. It doesn’t tell you if that weight is coming from fat or muscle, and it definitely doesn’t guarantee you’ll look or feel the way you want.

 

So today, I’m breaking down one of the biggest weight loss myths that we need to UNALIVE.  Yes, we need this myth to disappear because it is holding you back! So let’s bust these once and for all so you can focus on what actually works and finally build the body you want. 

What I discuss:

1. Fat loss is NOT about eating as little as possible and working out more.

2. A small, sustainable calorie deficit works better than an extreme cut.

3. our workouts stay the same—3-5 strength training sessions per week is all you need.

4. You should NEVER live in fat loss mode. Cycle in and out for long-term results.

5. Reverse dieting is essential to keep your metabolism strong.
