Episode Details

Even if losing weight is a main goal, don't be afraid to gain muscle!

Cori explains that previous dieting practices can lead to metabolic adaptations, compounded by factors like age, lifestyle, and hormonal changes. These adaptations may cause muscle gain before fat loss, even when aiming to lose significant weight. Cori emphasizes the importance of embracing muscle gains and increasing calories to eventually create a deficit for fat loss. Be patient with the process!
