Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

Most people think the only reason to get into a calorie deficit is to lose body fat, but there can be benefits beyond just getting leaner. In this episode, I break down five reasons why spending time in a fat loss phase every so often can be valuable, including metabolic health, hunger management, nutrition habits, and long-term body composition.

I also discuss how often fat loss phases may make sense, when smaller energy stressors can be useful, what determines how long a fat loss phase should last, and the signs it may be time to return to maintenance calories. 

So if you’re not sure how often you should run a fat loss phase, this episode is a must listen.
