Join us for a dynamic roundtable as we debunk common fat loss myths and dive into the real complexities of shedding body fat. We break down the fundamentals of calories in versus calories out, the importance of tracking food intake, and how adherence plays a bigger role than many realize.
We explore the unique challenges women face during menopause, the pros and cons of rapid fat loss versus prolonged calorie deficits, and the critical roles of muscle mass, micronutrients, and hormonal health in sustainable fat loss.
Drawing on insights from the Transform Fat Loss program, which has helped over 150+ people achieve fat loss success, we also discuss the power of community support, redefining health and fitness goals, and why patience and consistency are essential for long-term results.
Whether you’re just starting your fat loss journey or looking to refine your approach, this conversation offers practical strategies, actionable advice, and expert insights to help you achieve lasting results.
