Stronger Than Your Boyfriend

Think dropping weight quickly is a win? Think again. In this episode, Heather and Katie break down what actually counts as losing weight too fast, why rapid weight loss almost always means losing muscle (not just fat), and how that slows your metabolism for the long haul. 
They cover the real signs your cut has gone too far, why GLP-1s without proper guidance set you up to regain everything, and what to do instead; including why reverse dieting and building muscle are the moves most people skip.

Topics covered:
Why dopamine is a motivation chemical, not just a pleasure chemical
Unearned vs. earned dopamine, and why it matters

Hyperbolic discounting and how it tanks your long-term goals

Question 3: I did a food sensitivity test. I found out I am sensitive to eggs, dairy, soy, and whey. Now I’m struggling with protein sources. Any advice?
Question 4: What are the best strategies for stress relief, in your opinion?

This week, we are re-releasing one of our most popular episodes of all time, Why Eating More Won't Make You Fat. 
Of course, calories in vs calories out matters. Mathematically, it’s the most important factor when it comes to losing weight (mass). But, it isn’t the whole story. Especially when the goal is actually fat loss, not weight loss.
Are you chronically under eating and unable to build important muscle in order to actually increase your metabolism and build?
Get out of the cycle of constant dieting and chronic cardio. 
In the episode, we talk about our experience with under eating, overexercising, stress, and fat loss. We touch on our mission to help people (especially women) fuel themselves appropriately so that they can get stronger, train smarter, and live longer, pain-free confident lives.
Grab our reverse dieting guide or our guide on Finding Your Maintenance Calories if you want to learn more about getting out of the cycle of dieting or chronic under eating.
