Starvation vs. Fueling for Body Composition

i love this we're going to touch on that part very soon but i like that you just said you don't eat enough you can't starve fat loss you need to feel fat loss which is no you can you can no you can you can start you can start no you can start fat loss but you're going to lose muscle too yeah if i said weight loss there's a difference yeah but but we also say like you if you weight loss you're going to lose fat fat loss you're going to lose fat now the difference is are you going to retain that muscle so that's a big difference right because we'll look at all the the people taking all the GLP-1 drugs now, like Ozempic, Trazapine, all that stuff, there's a lot of information about how it causes muscle wasting. Yeah, it does cause muscle wasting. Why? Because people don't eat enough protein and they starve themselves because the drugs, the whole point of the drug, like the main emphasis for this classification of drugs is to make you not hungry. So then people just don't eat. Basically, they put themselves in a caloric deficit. They lose tremendous amounts of weight. But the problem is when they don't eat, they also don't have protein and they don't train. And so they reckon, you know, 25 to 35% of what they're losing is muscle. And like you said before, muscle is precious. Muscle takes a long time to build. You don't want to lose that when you're dieting. So the thing is like, yeah, you can starve yourself and you'll lose a heap of fat, but you're also going to lose a heap of muscle, which means your body composition is not going to look any better. So if you look at, do you remember, did you guys over here, you got lots of Subways here. Did you ever have that Subway commercial with Jared? Like the Jared guy who ate one, he ate one foot long Subway sandwich every day and he lost like 250 pounds. But the thing is, I don't want you to say no. If anybody, anybody would remember this, it's like basically he only ate Subway like one Subway sandwich a day or something And he went from like 350 pounds like 150 He lost a tremendous amount of weight just starving himself but he didn't look any different. He went from being just big, obesely fat to small and fat. He didn't look better. He didn't look like he felt better. And now he's in prison because he was- Say that part again, please. Please say that part again. He didn't look any different. He just shrunk. This is the reality for most women, and that's why I love what you just said, because you can't just starve yourself into a better body composition. You cannot starve yourself into a better – I should have said you need to fuel – you need to fuel body composition. That's a better way of saying it. You can't starve yourself to good body composition. You can starve yourself for lots of fat loss. you can starve yourself for weight loss. But keep in mind when you do that, especially when you're not training hard, you're going to lose a lot of muscle. So your body composition is either going to stay the same or it's going to get worse. And all you're going to see is that you've lost a ton of fat muscle and you have seen the scale go down, but then you're going to look at yourself. You're going to get out of the shower and look at yourself in the mirror and go, God, I look terrible. I look terrible. I look like a coat hanger. And you also said that significant period of time, you'll thank yourself and yeah trying to find quick fixes is the easiest thing to do because it just takes so long and it's annoying i know but you're gonna thank yourself later and you also said half-assed results like you need to be all in you can't want all in results if you're only going half-assed so if you're only willing to go this much as in like halfway or whatever way you're willing to go then you just need to adjust your expectations and take a step back because that is when you start spinning your wheels, wondering why you're not getting results. And then you blame the program, blame the coach, whatever it is. It's like, no, you just need to readjust your expectations and get like, just start with where you're at. There's nothing wrong with that. You just need to know where you are.
