It’s entirely possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time. In fact, you may even find that your body composition changes quite a bit in the first few weeks of starting a new workout routine. But is it healthy? And more importantly, is it sustainable? Watch the video below to learn about Body Recomposition and if it’s the right path for you.
Body Recomposition: Can You Lose Fat and Gain Muscle at the Same Time?
Body recomposition is losing fat and gaining muscle. These two things are the epitome of what you typically try to do when you want to lose weight.
This is not to be confused with Body COMPosition. With Body Composition, if you hire a personal trainer, they take your weight, picture, measurements and have you do something like a DEXA scan, which helps you understand what your body fat and muscle mass are. However, when doing a Body Recomp, you will usually find that the fat percentage went down and the lean body mass percentage went up. What this does is instead of just focusing on weight loss, like stepping on a scale, you are making sure that the weight that you look at changes.
Watch the training above for a more in-depth look into Body Recomposition…

This video explores the pros and cons of fasted cardio, which has been getting a lot of attention lately. I’ll give you my verdict on whether or not it’s actually worth doing. Is fasted cardio really the best way to burn fat?
Is Fasted Cardio Really the Best Way to Burn Fat?
Today, we are talking all about fasted cardio. One of the reasons why I wanted to bring this up is because I recently got a question about fasted cardio. And is it helpful, or is it hype?
So let’s talk about it. A lot of fitness gurus promote fasted cardio. In case you have never heard of fasted cardio before, it is when you do just that. You wake up first thing in the morning and do cardio before eating. Especially in the morning because now you’ve come off an eight to twelve-hour fast, depending on how long you slept. That’s a fasted cardio in its simplest form.
So, Why are people promoting fasted cardio? Typically, your blood sugar levels drop when you wake up in the morning and have gone an extended time without food. When your blood sugar is running low, your glycogen storage, where your body stores all of its carbs, starts emptying. Now, because the carb sources are lower, you’re creating this environment where your body will start looking for other things to use for fuel. The following preferred fuel option would be fat.
When you go to work out, your body burns through carb storage. If you workout with minimal carbs in your system, your body tends to burn it instead for fuel during that workout. This sounds good on paper but is it really? The answer may surprise you…

Are you frustrated with your weight? Are you doing hours of cardio each week and not seeing the results you want? You’re not alone. Many people believe that cardio is the key to fat loss, but that’s simply not true. In this blog post, I’m going to share the truth about cardio for fat loss and how to incorporate it in a way that works for you. Watch the video below to learn more!
The Truth About Cardio For Fat Loss
Today, we’re talking all about cardio. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m all about muscle equaling metabolism. Now, you may be asking, “Where does cardio fit into that?” In this week’s video, I share a class replay from my app membership where I dove into the most frequently asked questions about cardio. Questions, such as, How much can/should I do? What if I love cardio and don’t wanna give it up? How does cardio fit into my desire to rebuild lost muscle mass? Does it affect my metabolism?
If you’ve ever thought about these questions, I think today’s video will be super helpful for you. You will notice people on both ends of the spectrum; for example, some people are doing tons and tons of cardio. They think that’s what they have to do to get results, while others are sedentary, barely doing any movement outside of their two to three lifting workouts per week because they think they shouldn’t do any cardio.
The problem is that typically, neither one of those is getting results. The people doing way too much may also end up gaining weight overall, as the people doing too little might find that they’re gaining some weight from being super sedentary. Hopefully, you don’t fall under any of those extremes. Whether you love or hate cardio, or are just wondering how it works for you, stay tuned for today’s video because it will give you much insight into how to make cardio work for you and your goals.

There is so much conflicting information out there. One person tells you that carbs are the devil, while another claims that all you need to do is cut out fat and you’ll lose weight. Who’s right? And more importantly,, who’s wrong? In this episode, Rebecca Scritchfield and I debunk some of the most common diet myths, set the record straight, and give you the information you need to make healthy decisions for your body.. So put down that fad diet book, grab a donut (yes a donut!), and watch us on Youtube or in the podcast below!
Diet Myths Debunked: What You Need to Know
Dieting maintains its power because it creates a deep need. So “I’m not good enough as I am right now. This is a pain point, and it promises that life will be so much better if you do this, right? And we ACTUALLY believe that promise! We feel hope just from that visual of that imaginary better life or how your body would look after losing a certain amount of pounds on Whole 30 or whatever. That visual sends a dopamine reward to your brain, saying, “This would be good if this happened to me.” So we’re not thinking rationally. We’re emotionally sold on the vision of what I can’t have, as I am right now. I must work to achieve this by depriving my body. It’s very, very twisted.

What if I told you?… You don’t need to eat low carb, workout for hours a day, spend your weekend meal prepping, or even miss out on eating donuts with your kids. Did you know that you CAN lose weight WITHOUT cutting out the foods you love?
How to Lose Weight WITHOUT Cutting out the Foods you Love
In this Youtube video, we are throwing back to my interview with Amber of Biceps After Babies (@biceps.after.babies on IG 
!) as she speaks ALL about how she created a body she loves WITHOUT giving up the foods she loves!
In this chat, you’ll discover, how YOU can also be an example that ALL foods can fit into your diet and that you can eat the food you love while seeing the progress you want to see (rather than taking breaks from your progress to “enjoy life”).
If you…
-
Eat “healthy” but don’t see the scale go down.
-
Are overwhelmed with the thought of getting started counting macros.
-
Feel “stuck” or “frustrated” in your fat loss journey.
-
Start the day with such good intentions but then end it with a carton of ice cream and guilt.
It doesn’t have to be this way….
You CAN find food freedom AND finally make progress on your fat loss goals… …without having to cut out ice cream or pizza.
(Got a friend who is struggling, removing everything from their diet, and seeing no progress? Share it with them!)
And Great News!!!
