"I'm eating in a caloric deficit, but I'm not seeing results." I overheard this in a conversation at the gym, and I want to explain why this is not true. If you are eating in a calorie deficit, you WILL see results! I'm diving into the hidden pitfalls of dieting, the truth about caloric deficits, and how to overcome those sneaky weekend binges stalling your health and fitness goals.
This episode is for you if you've ever felt like you're doing everything right during the week, but if you're honest, you reward yourself a bit too generously on the weekend. It's for those who might be unknowingly sabotaging their diet with "invisible calories" or relying too much on unreliable tech for calorie tracking.
In this episode, we cover:
- The tricky balance of caloric intake throughout the week
- Identifying and accounting for "invisible calories" in your diet
- Practical strategies to manage hunger and stay on track
- The pitfalls of overestimating the calories burned through exercise
- Real-life struggles and solutions discussed within the Powerhouse Academy community
Setting yourself up for long-term success isn't about harsh restrictions or weekend reward binges; it's about understanding how to manage a consistent and mindful approach to eating. Finding the balance in your diet is crucial to achieving and maintaining your weight loss goals without falling victim to hidden temptation or misinformation.
