And I think that's what we should be aiming for as much as possible, because the thing that is really important is if you just take something that makes you lose rapid weight loss and whether you just do rapid weight loss by being on a calorie deficit or rapid weight loss because of an appetite suppressant,
If you do not eat an adequate amount of protein and if you do not resistance train, you will lose bone mineral density.
And that is going to mean that you're at a higher fracture risk.
One, we don't want that.
We don't want to be frail.
We want to feel strong.
But two, you're not going to look lean and toned.
You're just going to be skinny.
And all of this aside, I have gone through that.
I did my health and fitness at the start.
I did double sessions.
I did calorie deficits.
I just got skinny.
I didn't like how I looked.
Kate and I both...
love resistance training, eating a high protein diet.
I got there eventually, but there's a reason for that because for most of us, and if that's not your goal, then this conversation is not for you.
But if you do want to feel strong, if you want to feel capable, if you want to feel confident, if you want muscle tone, whatever you're doing, do it alongside a structured resistance training plan and a high protein diet.
And I promise you will feel better and you will get better results long-term.
And everything that Kate and I speak about is because we want to help you.
