Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Is it possible to lose body fat without going into a calorie deficit? The answer is not as simple as you may think, and in this episode, I will tell you why.

I will dive into the differences between weight loss and fat loss, the critical role of macronutrients, and why not all calorie deficits are equal. I’ll also explain why the calories on your fitness tracker may not be the best place to start. 

Whether your goal is fat loss, body recomposition or building muscle, this episode has something for you. So, let’s dive in!

Topics covered on being in a deficit to lose body fat:

• Understanding the different ways our body burns calories
• How to establish what your maintenance calories are
• Why our macronutrient requirements are different from person to person – no cookie-cutter approach will work! 
• Why you need to step away from the 1,200 calorie deficit and what you should be doing instead
