Weight loss without counting calories
Hey guys, love your podcast!! I was hoping you both could give me some direction regarding weight loss without counting calories. Do you have any tips on how to ensure/know you’re in a deficit without counting calories? Also, what does the transition look like going from a deficit to maintaining when you don’t count them? Usually people just up their caloric intake, so I’m not sure what exactly to change when I do want to start maintaining? Thank you in advance!
SUP vs Step Count
Hi yall from TX! :) I am an avid paddleboarder and have always wondered how it “stands up” (haha) to walking. Weather permitting, i get outside on average 5 times a week. Given the choice I will always choose SUP & walk as a substitute. I know Im using a lot of different muscles to pull myself through the water, but my feet are planted. Usually when i walk it’s 30-60 mins; when i paddle it’s 1-3 hours. Of course wind conditions make it more challenging on certain days, but comparing just a leisurely hour of paddling to an hour of moderate to brisk walking, what’s yalls take? PS i love listening to the pod during both of these activities! ;)
Stress preventing fat loss
Hi! I’ve heard over and over again, that stress can prevent you from losing weight, and that stress makes your body ”hold onto fat”. I get that when you’re stressed you might eat more calories and eat more mindlessly, but is there actually a scientific reason as to why being stressed would prevent weight loss? I mean, if you’re stressed but your calories stayed the same, wouldn’t you still lose the same amount of body fat / weight? Does being stressed lower your energy output somehow?
