Calorie Deficit Explained: The Only Way to Lose Fat (And How to Do It Right)
In this week's podcast episode, I break down the science of fat loss—not just the importance of a calorie deficit, but how your body actually processes and burns energy. We dive into what calories really are, how your body converts food into energy, and why understanding energy balance is crucial for sustainable weight loss. I also tackle common fat loss misconceptions, like whether hormones override calories, why eating "clean" doesn’t guarantee weight loss, and why some people think they’re in a deficit but aren’t seeing results. Plus, I give you a step-by-step guide to setting up your calories and macros, tracking progress effectively, and adjusting when needed—so you can lose fat without extreme diets or frustration. If you’ve ever been confused about fat loss or struggled to see results, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
