Kate has probably been on the podcast most out of any other of our guests. She is the author of How To Heal Your Metabolism; It’s a great book. If you haven’t read it, I definitely recommend it.We notice a lot of women that come into this space come from restrictive diet backgrounds and then start including carbs and dairy into their diet without actually tracking their calorie intake....and what happens? Unwanted weight gain.So we thought we would talk more about understanding energy balance when it comes to weight gain and weight loss.In this episode, Kate and I chat about:➡️The importance of knowing your starting point➡️Getting honest with yourself and tracking your food➡️How you get stuck in the restrict-binge cycle➡️How to calculate your TDE➡️Why muscle mass matters for energy balance & weight loss➡️Losing water and glycogen when you cut carbs and how this leads to quick 'weight loss'➡️Accounting for your system and individual differences➡️Why you need to understand your specific body energy balance➡️Calories in vs calories out➡️Building muscle and how long it actually takes➡️The importance of muscle mass➡️What it takes to maintain➡️How to make tracking easier and how to simplify itHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
