The Real Difference Between Losing Weight & Losing Body Fat

Cory Fernandes Episode 24

Are you chasing the wrong goal? In this episode, Coach Cory and Coach Susie break down the critical difference between losing weight and losing body fat—and why aiming for the scale alone can leave you looking and feeling worse.

💡 In This Episode:
 • Why “weight loss” often means muscle loss (and low energy)
 • The hidden dangers of extreme calorie cuts & endless cardio
 • How to eat, train, and recover to burn fat while keeping muscle
 • The 4 key steps to lasting fat loss:
1️⃣ Strength train 2–3x/week
2️⃣ Hit 10K steps/day
3️⃣ Maintain a slight calorie deficit
4️⃣ Eat 0.8–1g of protein per lb of desired body weight
 • What “body recomposition” is—and how to use it if you’ve already lost weight

This episode gives you a clear blueprint for looking lean, feeling strong, and performing at your best—without falling into the skinny-fat trap.

👉 If you’ve ever been frustrated by the scale, share this episode with a friend and help them focus on what really matters.
