What's Actually Important for Fat Loss? Introducing the Nutrition Pyramid
(not the one you are thinking of)
Today's podcast episode is all about cutting through the noise and getting down to what really matters when it comes to your nutrition and weight loss.
Picture this: a pyramid with the most crucial factors at the bottom, supporting the less significant ones at the top. At the base of our pyramid is energy balance: calories in versus calories out. If you're eating too many calories, you won't see the results you're after.
Next up, we've got macronutrients: carbs, protein, and fat. These bad boys make up your calories, so they're pretty darn important.
Then there's micronutrients, the vitamins and minerals that keep your body going as you lose weight. Next comes meal timing and frequency. Sure, they can make a difference, but only if you've nailed the basics first.
And finally, we've got supplements. While they can be a nice little boost, they're not the miracle workers marketers like us to think they are.
