Do you want to lose WEIGHT, or do you want to lose FAT?
I'm sure you've heard it before: the number on the scale is NOT a good indication for where you are in terms of body fat and lean muscle mass. It's just the total weight of EVERYTHING in your body, and yet, people are still so fixated with seeing it go down!
Going on a restrictive diet that cuts your calories is a common way for people to lose WEIGHT, but have you ever noticed that dropping weight comes with a softer body? Your muscles feel weaker and like they can't even contract properly? Let's not even talk about how your butt deflates.?
Have you ever wondered why cutting calories to lose weight results in the loss of both muscle and fat instead of just fat?
?
Calories.
You need a certain amount of them every day to maintain. Lessen that, and you lose weight. Increase it, and you gain weight.
BUT! Where those calories are coming from each day is just as important as whether you're meeting that number at all!
Enter macronutrients.
Fats, carbs, and proteins.
Each is important in its own way and affects the way your body burns or gains fat, and builds or loses muscle.
I've had thick legs my whole life but building my gluteus has always been a struggle for me. If I skip a meal or fall off my macros, my glutes are the first thing that my body gets rid of.
Getting enough protein and carbs is CRUCIAL for me to fuel my muscle mass. Knowing exactly how much carbs I need on a daily basis prevents me from feeling weak in a deficit or going over them and gaining fat.
Holding myself accountable for what goes into my body has empowered me to meet my goals, and I want to help you do the same!
