If you've ever wondered why weight loss gets harder the longer you diet, why every expert seems to have a different answer, or whether you really need to count calories to lose fat, this episode is for you.

In Part 1 of this 4-part nutrition series, Britany breaks down the foundation of fat loss: calorie deficits, metabolism, metabolic adaptation, and why preserving muscle matters just as much as losing weight. 

She also explains why crash diets backfire, how popular diets actually work, and what women in perimenopause and menopause need to know about fat loss.

In this episode, we discuss:

  •  What a calorie deficit actually is 
  •  The 4 ways your body burns calories 
  •  Why daily movement matters more than most people realize 
  •  Metabolic adaptation and why weight loss slows over time 
  •  Why bigger calorie deficits aren't always better 
  •  How keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, and other diets really work 
  •  The difference between weight loss and fat loss 
  •  Why preserving muscle is critical during a fat-loss phase 
  •  How strength training supports fat loss 
  •  The role of muscle in metabolism and long-term success 
  •  Fat loss during perimenopause and menopause 
  •  Why aggressive dieting often backfires
