Weight Loss vs. 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. So I said weight loss. There's a different, 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 the big difference, right? Because we'll look at all the people taking all the GLP-1 drugs now, like Ozempic, Trazpine, 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 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 put themselves in caloric deficit. They lose tremendous amounts of weight. But the problem is when they don't eat, they also don't eat enough protein and they don't train. And so they reckon 25 to 35 percent 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, 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 okay so if anybody anybody would remember this it's like it basically he only ate sub 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 look any different he went from being just big obesely fat to small and fat he didn look better he didn look like he felt better and now he in prison because he was Say that part again please Please say that part again He didn 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 body. I should have said you need to fuel your body composition. that's a better way of saying it you can't starve yourself to good body composition all right 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 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 going to 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 only willing to go this much as in like halfway or whatever way you 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 not getting results And then you blame the program blame the coach whatever it is It 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.
