LOSING WEIGHT VS. LOSING FAT (A Must Read Throwback)

 

Pay attention to all of this... + A little Throwback Thursday I first sent this EXACT email in 2017.... Here we are 3 years later...still answering the same thing...and now more people that "UNDERSTAND" but can't let go...so let's see if today I can bring one or 2 more people to this side of the fence   ...Isn't it interesting how obsessed we get with losing weight? - Seriously, a LOT of people will start their day happy or sad based entirely on the 3-digit number they see flashing back at them each morning. - But what's even more interesting than our obsession with losing weight is the fact that "weight loss" isn't always the most useful marker of progress. You see, there are a buttload of things that influence your daily & weekly body weight... -  A higher/lower salt intake than normal  Food Intolerances  Where you're at on your cycle  Hydration Levels  You need to take a poo poo 🥘 Food content still in your belly  Hormones  Supplements ️‍♀️ DOMS from your heavy workout The list could go on and on and on...   You know what you don't see on that list? FAT LOSS❌ - Reason being, fat loss doesn't happen over the course of a day or even a week (well, it does *technically*, but not in a very noticeable or meaningful way). Instead, fat loss happens over the course of multiple weeks and months  - So really, it's just a matter of understanding that weight loss and fat loss are not synonymous. Once you realize that, you can start taking steps that'll put the power of the scale back in YOUR hands. - 1️⃣ One way is by taking measurements. - Soooooo many things influence your scale weight, which makes it difficult to know if you're making progress. But if you're losing inches, even at the same weight, it’s a good sign you're losing fat! - 2️⃣ Another tip is to start analyzing your AVERAGE weight over the course of weeks and months. - How to do it —> take your weight in the morning each day and... "For The Love of God!" [in Chris Farley voice], don't worry about the number you see daily! - At the end of the week, add 'em all up and divide by seven. That'll give you your weekly weight average, and over time, you want to see that weekly average trend downward  - The Bottom Line ✅: don't let your daily and weekly fluctuations in body weight discourage you. It's totes normal and it does NOT reflect fat loss progress.   Now what do you do?   What if you want to make some changes and start getting some RESULTS   What if this is exactly what you are looking for...what if you need more help...what if you have been trying lots of things and no results...what if you are stuck..what if you have questions that can't be answered in an email...   Well that happens a lot...yep..and our Nutrition Coaching is about more than just a new diet because so many things influence how you eat and what you eat   But truthfully there are only so many hours in a DAY and I work hands on with all my clients...My clients are in California, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, all the way in Cyprus, Central Florida + all the ones here in South Florida...and I can only work with so many..   And every so often I have an opening...Well..I have news...I have 3 and while some people think they can join anytime or this is some kind of promo.. Well that's cute...if you think that's the case...go ahead and sign up...you will notice there is no where you can do this ;-)   So these 3 spots will go...and of course it has to be something I can help with... If interested...or if you know someone interested ....reach out...I'm sharing here via email 1st   Send any questions my way   Coach Rafael   PS...
