Ep 131: What does weight loss actually look and feel like when it’s working?
In Part 1 of this two-part series, I break down what is happening inside your body when you lose weight, why body-fat loss and scale-weight loss are not the same thing, and what you may experience during the first few days of a calorie deficit.
We cover:
Why fat loss requires an energy deficit over time
How water, glycogen, digestion, inflammation and food volume affect the scale
Why an initial drop in weight usually isn’t entirely body fat—and why some people may not experience one
The physical and emotional changes you may notice first
What normal, manageable hunger can feel like
Why hunger may increase as a diet continues
The difference between physical hunger, cravings, habit hunger and emotional hunger
Signs that your calorie deficit may be too aggressive
In Part 2, we’ll get into why weight loss rarely happens in a straight line, what causes your weight to fluctuate even when you’re losing fat, where you may notice changes first, why visible progress can lag behind your effort, what a true plateau looks like and how to determine whether your plan is actually working.
