How To Lose Fat WITHOUT Cutting Calories

by Keysia Linares Marzullo | Aug 27, 2022 | Diet Mentality, Fat Loss / Cutting, Podcast, Q & A, Uncategorized

In this week’s episode, we’re talking how to lose fat WITHOUT cutting calories. If you’re at a point where that’s a struggle for you – maybe you could do it a couple of days, and then you tend to start falling off the wagon again, or you just don’t ever wanna reduce your calories but still want to lose the fat, this is the episode for you.

We’ve talked a lot about resetting if you’re at the very beginning of your journey. I know that cutting is crucial to most of us, so I want to discuss the fat loss portion of this and how you can prepare for that in your reset because that’s what the reset is all about.

Essentially, when we’re talking about fat loss, calories in verse calories out is slightly more nuanced than it seems. Fat loss is ultimately determined by your energy input versus output, and energy just means calories. Long story short, you’re focusing on how many calories you’re consuming versus how many calories you’re burning. Basically, how you maneuver that and how that works into your plan. So this will all come together, and you’re going to be able to pick and choose from these methods that we’re gonna talk about in this episode and see how they incorporate into a way that maybe reflects you a little bit more or feels less restrictive to you. So let’s dive in!

Here’s a sneak peek into today’s episode…

3 Surprising Reasons Family And Friends May Resist Your Weight Loss Efforts

by Keysia Linares Marzullo | Aug 7, 2022 | Building Muscle, Bulk, Diet Mentality, Fat Loss / Cutting

Are you trying to lose weight but your family and friends resist your weight loss efforts? You’re not alone. In this video, I’ll share three surprising reasons why they may be doing this – and what you can do about it.

3 Surprising Reasons Family And Friends May Resist Your Weight Loss Efforts

The #1 reason that people don’t support you is they don’t believe you. I’ve done a series on our Youtube Channel before where I kind of pinned down my husband and asked him why husbands tend to sabotage their wives. And as I’ve talked to different people in families, especially within the Eat More 2 Weigh Less community, a huge reason why people don’t support you is that you don’t believe them.

Maybe you are that girl that cries wolf, or you’ve experienced that person constantly changing things up. This is their seventy-eighth fad diet, their twelfth time quitting smoking, or they’re starting a new MLM or whatever it is. There’s always this person constantly starting something but never finishing it. And perhaps, that’s been you in the past.

Typically the people closest to you remember all those things. So whenever you start trying to change something, especially if you’re that person, that girl who’s always just been kind of radical and taking everything to the extreme. If that is you, then you can’t really expect people to just jump on board. Even I tend to hold people to that standard. If I know somebody who is always saying that they’re gonna do something, I just wait it out to see if this is really something that’s gonna stick or not. And that could be what somebody’s doing for you. So whether you’re that person that doesn’t believe people or you’re someone that nobody believes, just make sure that you’re committed first before you try to get other people to jump on board.

Body Recomposition: Losing Fat and Gaining Muscle at the Same Time?

by Keysia Linares Marzullo | Jul 22, 2022 | Building Muscle, Bulk, Diet Mentality, Fat Loss / Cutting

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.

Is Fasted Cardio Really the Best Way to Burn Fat?

by Keysia Linares Marzullo | Jul 8, 2022 | Cardio, Diet Mentality, Fat Loss / Cutting

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…
