Can You Eat ANYTHING in a Calorie Deficit? Science Says Yes. Human Nature Says No! 21:32

21 days ago21:32

21:32

You’ve probably heard that “a calorie is just a calorie,” but is that really true? Not exactly. In this episode, we're breaking down why all calories are not created equal and how different foods impact more than just our fat loss journey—they affect our hunger, cravings, and energy levels, too. Whether you're tracking calories or just trying to eat healthier, what we eat is just as important as how much we eat. There's a reason 500 calories of sugar leaves us starving an hour later, while 500 calories of protein, fiber, and balance keeps us full for hours.

You are making more progress than you think! In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to track your progress in a way that actually reflects your hard work beyond the scale. I’ll break down key metrics that go beyond fat loss so you can understand how to track real improvements beyond the number on the scale. Plus, we’ll talk about how to weigh yourself strategically (without becoming obsessive) so that fluctuations don’t mess with your mindset. If you’re tired of letting the scale control your journey, this episode will give you a smarter, healthier way to track your progress! Links to Body Composition Scales / Body Analyzer Options: iHealth Nexus Smart Scale (I currently own and love this scale) Etekcity Smart Scale for Body Weight Arboleaf (8-Electrode) Smart Body Fat Scale Note: I’m collaborating with a brand (not included in the list above) on a body analyzer video for YouTube before the end of February. I’ve tested it and love it! I’ll share the link once the video is live. However, that body analyzer is much pricier than the options listed above—these are all great choices too!
