The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · Fat Burning Expert: The Real Reason You Can’t Lose Weight! PCOS, Menopause & Stubborn Belly Fat · 25 Aug 2025 podcast

The body senses that, oh my gosh, we just lost a bunch of precious tissue.

We have to do whatever we can to get it back.

And so your hunger signals ramp up and your body kind of behaviorally and even metabolically does what is necessary for you to feed that back as soon as possible.

And this does not necessarily happen, certainly not to that kind of magnitude, if you keep your muscle mass.

while you're losing body fat.

You don't experience this collateral fattening type of phenomenon where people just rebound like crazy because their appetite is out of control at the end of the diet.

So the way that you preserve muscle mass during the fat loss process is a couple things.

So you have to make sure that your rate of weight loss isn't indicative of

something that's too quick.

So about a half a percent to a full percent of your body weight lost per week is as fast as you really want to go.

So roughly a pound a week.

Some people who start off heavier, okay, two pounds a week is fine at the very beginning.

But you generally don't want to lose more than 1% of your total body weight per week because then that increases the chances that you're losing an undue amount of muscle mass along with your fat mass.

And so if you can, in essence, control the weight loss rate

then you will keep your lean mass.

Now, the other two things that need to be going on at the same time are you need to be resistance training and you need to be consuming enough protein.

So strength training and protein.

enough protein you got resistance training and then you have sort of a top speed limiter on how much weight that you lose per week and one percent loss awake one percent loss a week is spectacular actually for most people even a pound a week even half a pound a week you're looking at like in two years you lost 50 pounds most people took like two decades to put on that 50 pounds

It is going to come off quickly if you have a lot of weight to lose.

It'll come off quickly at the beginning.
