Episode 99: The Truth About Cutting Calories for Weight Loss
We’ve all been told that calorie deficit is what leads to weight loss. But it’s more complicated than just cutting your caloric intake. There’s so much more we can do outside of cutting calories. Before you start cutting calories, especially if you’ve already tried that, we can first address our metabolic issues - insulin intolerance, hypothyroidism, hormone balance, and nutrient deficiencies. All of these factors influence our body and how it processes energy, weight loss, and weight gain.
In this episode, we dive into the truth behind calorie deficits and what you can do to set yourself up for success when it comes to nutrition and weight loss.
In this episode, you will learn more about:
Overeating versus undernourishing
Blood sugar balance and why you have cravings while dieting
Important nutrients and minerals for metabolic balance
