What's up guys! Today we're back for a solo episode and we're digging a little deeper into fat loss... and more importantly, when it's NOT a good time to try and lose body fat and/or why your fat loss phase isn't going the way you'd like it to. Here's the link the the research review on metabolic adaptations I referenced in this show: https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1550-2783-11-7 Today we talk about: -what needs to be in place before you start a cut -why previous dieting attempts could be thwarting your current one -why coming out of your diet poorly can set you up for future failures/struggles (including excess bodyfat gain) -taking the TIME out of a fat loss phase to get your metabolism and hormones back to normal levels -how long you need to spend out of a diet before starting another one -why consistency matters and the negative impacts of yo-yo dieting -what to look out for during your fat loss phase -changes to hunger hormones when you diet -potential reasons why your fat loss phase isn't going well  -learning to work with your body instead of trying to drop kick it into submission -... so much more! --------------------------  Find me here:  Instagram Twitter YouTube My Website
