Why Your Weight Fluctuates + Why It Doesn't Mean You Gained Fat

Have you ever felt like your metabolism is broken? Or maybe you've noticed that as you've gotten older fat loss feels harder? You're not imagining things. But your metabolism isn't broken, it's just adaptive. It changes with your hormones, the amount of muscle you have, your lifestyle, activity, even the way you eat. In today's episode I'm going to break down what metabolism is, the 4 pieces that make it up, how perimenopause affects each one, and most importantly, what you can do to make your metabolism responsive again. Train with me in the EmPowered Elite Monthly Membership: https://train.macroswithem.com/groups/4143/join/HAPI Supplements: save 10% with code emmahttps://hapibodi.com/The EmPowered Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/macroswithemcommunity/Follow Emma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/macroswithem/Follow Emma on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/macroswithem

I know you've heard people say "weight loss is 80% nutrition, 20% exercise" or something along those lines . And women tell me often that they want to start weight training after they lose some weight. Today I'm going to discuss the roles both diet and exercise play in fat loss, which one you should prioritize and when, and why you need both for results that last.HAPI Supplements: save 10% with code Emmahttps://hapibodi.com/The EmPowered Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/macroswithemcommunity/Follow Emma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/macroswithem/Follow Emma on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/macroswithem

Welcome back! Today's episode is diving into a super common frustration, "I swear I'm eating in a deficit, but I'm not losing fat". If this sounds familiar, don't worry, your metabolism isn't "broken". What's happening is usually one of two things: either you're intentionally eating more than you think, or you're setting yourself up with habits that increase hunger and push you to overeat. September Shred waitlist: Join Here!Save 10% on HAPI supplements with code EmmaThe EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook
