DAY 2: Fat Loss vs Weight Loss | Why the Scale Can Be Misleading for Women Over 35

Welcome to Day 2 of the RAC Summer Recomp Series: a free 90-day body recomposition system designed to help women over 35 lose fat, build muscle, boost metabolism, and finally stop starting over.

Today we're tackling one of the biggest misconceptions in fitness: fat loss and weight loss are NOT the same thing.

If you've ever lost weight but still felt unhappy with how your body looked, this episode will help you understand why. You'll learn what actually makes up your body weight, why the scale can go down while body composition gets worse, why crash diets often lead to muscle loss, and why preserving muscle is essential for long-term fat loss, metabolism, strength, and healthy aging.

• ​ Fat loss vs weight loss explained• What contributes to body weight• Muscle, fat, water, and digestion• Why the scale doesn't tell the whole story• Why losing weight can sometimes hurt your results• The dangers of crash dieting• Why muscle preservation matters after 35• How body recomposition creates a leaner, stronger physique• Why body composition matters more than scale weight
