The Realities of Fat Loss: What No One Tells You About a True Calorie Deficit | Ep. 29
Think you’re failing because you’re hungry, tired, or not seeing the scale move? Think again. In this episode of Backyard Health, Erin pulls back the curtain on what a real fat loss phase feels like—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
You’ll learn:
- Why hunger is a normal and necessary part of a true calorie deficit
- Functional signs of active fat loss that go way beyond the scale
- The surprising hormonal and metabolic shifts that happen when your body starts burning stored fat
- How to interpret your biofeedback (like sleep changes, cravings, and mood swings)
- The mindset reframes that make fat loss sustainable instead of stressful
- Why most plans fail to prepare you for this phase—and how Fat Loss Flow was built to guide you through it
Whether you're in the middle of a fat loss phase or considering one, this episode will give you the clarity, compassion, and science-based insight you need to keep going with confidence.
