Episode Details

Most of the women who join our program have cycled through a number of diets that drastically cut calories and/or food groups. I did the same thing for years but when I met Craig and Emma I learnt why this approach never works long term, often leads to more weight gain and it usually leaves women with one or more of these issues: low energy, poor sleep, digestive issues or hormonal imbalances.

I was listening to a coaching call Craig did a few weeks ago and one of the clients asked about the 'phases' they get allocated by their coach and why we do this and what phase is appropriate when?

So I thought it would be a great opportunity to get Craig on the podcast to discuss the cycles and phases of nutrition and when they are appropriate.

In this episode, we chat about:

➡️What the nutrition phases are and when they are appropriate

➡️Healthy body fat ranges

➡️How nutrition contributes to muscle growth

➡️When is a calorie surplus appropriate?

➡️How the fat loss phase works and when is it appropriate?

➡️How to figure out your maintenance calories

➡️Why you shouldn’t have to ever do drastic calorie cuts for long periods

➡️Is it possible to build muscle while losing body fat?
