In this episode, we talk about what it really means to have flexibility with your food while letting go of guilt and still making progress. So many people chase weight loss but miss the bigger picture—building a body that is strong, resilient, and sustainable for the long term. We break down why muscle is the foundation of both fat loss and longevity, what to expect during a build phase (including the scale going up), and how to shift your focus toward what actually moves the needle. This conversation is about food freedom, strength, and creating a body that supports your life, not controls it.We talk about:-What a lean build actually means-Why the scale may go up during a build phase-The importance of maintaining bone density-Why muscle is the foundation of health and longevity-Letting go of food guilt and working toward food freedom-Focusing on what actually makes a difference-How to start strength trainingTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction4:19 the secret to maintaining your weight loss9:49 increasing you BMR13:52 do hormones really matter?16:33 the emotional side of body recomposition23:00 working towards food freedom31:05 how to start strength trainingCONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV:Get 1:1 coaching here: https://app.iclosed.io/e/elev8/1-1-strategy-call-podcastGet our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listEbook: https://go.elev8coaching.net/consistency-book
