320. Q&A: Lose Fat or Lift Weights? What To Focus On First If Your Body Fat Is Above 25%

On today's solo episode, I'm answering a listener question from Steph regarding if you should focus on fat loss or muscle building FIRST if you are starting your journey out at a higher body fat percentage. With so much conflicting advice out there about calorie deficits, strength training, and the "right" way to transform your body, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and even confused about the approach you're taking. That's why in this episode, my goal is to help you cut through the noise and understand: ✔️ A breakdown of your body fat percentage and how it can impact your health and fitness goals ✔️ Who should focus on muscle gain first, and who should focus on fat loss first ✔️ How to know whether to prioritize dieting, lifting, or a mix of both ✔️ The fat loss trifecta most women overlook (and how it can change everything for your progress) If you've been wondering where to start, or how to balance fat loss and muscle building for lasting results, this episode is perfect for you! 1:1 Coaching with Lauren and Our Team of Dietitians: HERE To connect with Lauren, click HERE Submit your question for advice from Lauren on the show HERE Take the free Weight Loss Personality Quiz HERE Shop Our Meal Plans HERE Get Support & Personally Work With Us HERE Related Episodes: 🎙️ Episode 312: Mini Cuts for Fat Loss: The Faster, Smarter Way to Shed Fat (Mini Cut Series) 🎙️ Episode 306: 5 Sneaky Mistakes You Don't Realize Are Sabotaging Your Fat Loss Progress 🎙️ Episode 208: 5 Easy Habits To Lose Fat In Your 40's (Losing Weight As You Age Series) 🎙️ Episode 186: PART 1: The Science Behind Fat Loss I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
