Episode 182: Why losing weight isn't the same as losing fat

The Diet Diaries

Today, we’re diving into a super important topic that comes up all the time with clients and friends alike: the difference between losing weight and losing fat. This is something that might seem straightforward but is actually a bit more complex than it appears.

Here’s what I’m talking about today:

• What does the number on the scale really represent? Spoiler alert: it's WAY more than just body fat.
• Learn why protein and strength training are crucial for losing fat while maintaining muscle.
• What’s actually a better indicator of fat loss than the scale?
• Why you shouldn’t panic over daily changes in your weight.
• Discover the importance of looking at long-term trends rather than short-term changes.

The scale is just one tiny part of the puzzle when comes to your health goals and how to better measure your progress. Let’s get some clarity around how and why to use it and prioritize what what really matters when it comes to losing weight without counting calories.
