Podcasts about rapid fat loss

What if losing weight in menopause didn't have to mean spending months on end in a calorie deficit?In this episode, I'm sharing the incredible progress of my client Denise, who came to me with a significant weight-loss goal after her doctor had been encouraging her to consider a GLP-1. She wanted to try a different approach first.Five months later, she's down 42 pounds — and we're doing it very differently than the traditional “eat less and lose a pound a week” model.We've been using short, strategically planned Rapid Fat Loss phases, followed by periods at higher calories where she maintains her results, enjoys more flexibility, continues strength training, and prepares for the next phase.I'm breaking down:• Why Rapid Fat Loss is NOT the same thing as crash dieting• How we use protein and strength training to prioritize muscle while losing fat• Why I feed my clients UP before an aggressive fat-loss phase• How Denise has been able to repeat these short phases • Why knowing exactly when a diet ends can make it psychologically easier• Why this approach needs to be individualized — and isn't appropriate for everyone• We need to rethink fat loss for women in their 40s, 50s and 60sBecause maybe the answer isn't spending MORE time dieting.Maybe we need to get more strategic about when we diet, how aggressively we diet, and most importantly — when we get OUT.And this conversation isn't over. In the next episode, I'm digging into the old way vs. the new way of losing fat in menopause — and why I've changed the way I coach women who feel like nothing works anymore.Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how I can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnowNow accepting clients!

How much do you actually need to eat above maintenance to maximize muscle growth?And once you're eating enough to support hypertrophy, does pushing calories even higher build more muscle, or simply make you gain body fat faster?In Part 2 of my Intermittent Modified Fasting series, I'm joined once again by Lyle McDonald to move beyond using IMF strictly as a fat-loss strategy and explore how some of these concepts can be applied across different phases of physique development.We start with one of the most debated topics in evidence-based bodybuilding right now: how large of a calorie surplus is actually necessary to maximize muscle growth?Lyle and I break down the research comparing different surplus sizes, realistic rates of muscle gain across different levels of training advancement, the estimated energetic cost of synthesizing new muscle tissue and why simply eating more doesn't allow you to force-feed muscle growth.From there, we take the IMF framework in a direction I found particularly interesting:Could strategically placed Rapid Fat Loss days be incorporated into a Lean Building Phase to help control fat gain without compromising hypertrophy?We discuss using a 6:1 approach where the majority of the week supports muscle growth while one strategically placed RFL day helps reduce the cumulative weekly surplus, how this compares with simply running periodic mini-cuts, and which individuals might actually benefit from this strategy.Finally, we shift back into fat loss and revisit diet breaks. For years, diet breaks were promoted as a way to “reset” metabolism and reverse the physiological adaptations to dieting. But as more research has accumulated, that explanation has become increasingly difficult to defend.That doesn't mean diet breaks are useless. Instead, their biggest benefits may come from improving hunger management, training performance, psychological fatigue, adherence and giving someone an opportunity to actually practice eating at maintenance.IN THIS EPISODE:HOW LARGE OF A CALORIE SURPLUS IS ACTUALLY NECESSARY FOR MUSCLE GROWTH?WHY YOU CANNOT FORCE-FEED MUSCLE GROWTHHOW MUCH MUSCLE CAN BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED TRAINEES REALISTICALLY GAIN?WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS ABOUT SMALL VS. LARGE CALORIE SURPLUSESWHY FASTER WEIGHT GAIN OFTEN MEANS MORE FAT GAIN, NOT MORE MUSCLEHOW TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR CALORIE SURPLUS IS ACTUALLY PRODUCTIVELEAN BUILDING & MINIMIZING UNNECESSARY FAT GAINUSING RAPID FAT LOSS DAYS DURING A LEAN-BUILDING PHASETHE POTENTIAL 6:1 APPROACH: SIX BUILDING DAYS + ONE RFL DAYRFL DAYS VS. PERIODIC MINI-CUTSBODY RECOMPOSITION & WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE ITDIET BREAKS: PHYSIOLOGICAL VS. PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITSHOW DIET BREAKS MAY IMPROVE HUNGER, TRAINING PERFORMANCE & ADHERENCEWHY PRACTICING MAINTENANCE MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BENEFITS OF A DIET BREAKThe major theme running through this episode is that more is not automatically better.More calories don't necessarily mean more muscle. More restriction doesn't necessarily mean a better diet. And more complexity doesn't necessarily mean a better strategy.The goal is understanding which nutritional tool fits the individual, their physiology, their psychology and the phase they're currently in.If your goal is to build more muscle while minimizing unnecessary fat gain, or to better understand how to periodize periods of surplus, maintenance and energy restriction across a long-term physique transformation, this episode is for you.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG:https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services:https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail:Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comLYLE'S NEWEST BOOKS: https://store.bodyrecomposition.comSAVE 20% BY USING CODE: larrywon

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on Mikkipedia Mikki is joined by Brandon DaCruz, host of the Chasing Clarity podcast, for the first episode in a new collaborative series bringing together their perspectives on nutrition, fat loss and body composition.They kick things off with a deep dive into rapid fat loss and protein-sparing modified fasting, starting with what a PSMF actually is and how each of them defines rapid fat loss in practice.Mikki and Brandon explore the potential benefits of taking a more aggressive approach to fat loss, alongside the physiological, psychological and behavioural drawbacks that need to be considered.They also get into how these strategies look with real clients. Brandon shares how he uses rapid fat-loss days, deficit deloads and high-carbohydrate refeeds, while Mikki explains how PSMF days and structured diet breaks are incorporated into Mondays Matter.Finally, they discuss who rapid fat-loss strategies are not appropriate for, including circumstances where hormonal health, energy availability, training demands or physique goals mean a more conservative approach is warranted.It's a practical and nuanced discussion about when rapid fat loss can be a useful tool, when it can become counterproductive, and why context matters far more than simply labelling an approach as good or bad.Brandon DaCruz at his website https://www.brandondacruzfit.com/, and on Instagram @brandondacruz_Chasing Clarity https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chasing-clarity-health-fitness-podcast/id1619611966 Brandon DaCruz is an online nutrition and physique coach, accredited nutritionist, functional nutrition and metabolism specialist, and health and fitness educator with over 16 years of coaching experience.Throughout his career, Brandon has helped more than 1,200 clients ranging from Olympia-level physique competitors and competitive athletes to business owners, executives, and lifestyle clients improve their body composition, optimize performance, and enhance their overall health.

Most people argue about rapid fat loss like the only variable that matters is speed. It isn't. The rate of loss is downstream of a decision that gets made long before anyone touches a calorie target: who this is being used with.On this episode I'm joined by Dr. Mikki Williden to kick off a new collab series where we both answer the same questions independently and let you see the reasoning on both sides.In this episode we cover:WHAT A PROTEIN SPARING MODIFIED FAST ACTUALLY ISTHE BENEFITS OF RAPID FAT LOSSTHE POTENTIAL DRAWBACKS OF RAPID FAT LOSSHOW WE USE THESE STRATEGIES IN PRACTICE WITH CLIENTSRAPID FAT LOSS DAYS & UNDULATING CALORIE CYCLESREFEEDS & DEFICIT DELOADSTHE POPULATIONS RAPID FAT LOSS IS NOT APPROPRIATE FORIf you've ever wondered whether you could get lean faster without losing  your muscle, this episode gives you the honest version: what the research actually supports, where it stops, and why I turn most people away from this approach entirely.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comMy Reading Recommendations:THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDShttps://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw

When does a fast, aggressive cut (rapid fat loss) beat a long, slow one?The answer depends on your body fat, your training, your timeline, your history with dieting, and whether you are perimenopausal or over 40.This episode revisits rapid fat loss and the case for a strict, short diet when the slow-and-sustainable default doesn't work as well for you (or simply because you want to use it). Make sure to download my FREE Rapid Fat Loss guide to follow along with the episode.We examine the research on how to lose fat quickly without losing muscle, including studies on rate of loss, protein during a steep deficit, and protein needs for people lifting weights. Learn what a structured protein-sparing protocol with built-in refeeds actually involves, why strength training and protein are so important for preserving your muscle (and thus losing fat), where metabolic adaptation fits in, and the clear line between a smart aggressive cut and a crash diet.This episode is designed for adults over 40 who lift, track their food, and want to know whether they are the exception to the "slow" fat loss rule.Download the free Rapid Fat Loss Guide with my step-by-step 14-day protocol. This is an aggressive dieting plan for serious lifters only who know how to build muscle and track their food. It includes everything you need to know to lose, on average, 3-5 lbs (or more) of pure fat in just 2 weeks:https://witsandweights.com/freeTimestamps:0:00 - Slow fat loss and the adherence problem 4:57 - The case for moderate fat loss 8:05 - When going slow stops working 10:46 - What a structured aggressive cut looks like 12:38 - Protein and carbs as muscle insurance 15:47 - Scheduled refeeds and how they work 18:05 - Strength training during a cut 19:16 - Water loss, fat loss, and using it as a tool 20:30 - Step-by-step rapid fat loss guide 21:54 - Preserving muscle on a steep deficit 26:12 - Refeeds, diet breaks, and metabolic adaptation 28:33 - Who an aggressive cut is for (and NOT for) 32:25 - Considerations in perimenopause and over 40 34:12 - Bonus: Deficit to make your fat loss easierMentioned:Eat More Lift Heavy - the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to preserve muscle, lose fat, and manage their physique for life, where we can guide you through any fat loss phase (rapid or not) and make sure the results LAST

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right in menopause and the scale still won't budge?In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I'm pulling back the curtain on the Rapid Fat Loss approach I've been using with my clients and on myself.After months of travel, stress, inflammation, and feeling "off," I decided it was time for a reset. Just five days into the protocol, I'm down 2.5 pounds, my inflammation is noticeably lower, my cravings are gone, and I'm experiencing what Martin McDonald calls "diet utopia". That point where food stops controlling your thoughts and hunger becomes incredibly manageable.I also share: • Why traditional 1 pound per week dieting often fails women in menopause • The biggest mistake women make when trying to lose weight • How clients like Stacy and Pam are losing 4–6 pounds in their first week • Why this approach creates GLP-1 style appetite control without using GLP-1 medications • The difference between aggressive fat loss and chronic dieting • How to know if this strategy is right for youIf you've been stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed by all the noise around cortisol, hormones, supplements, weighted vests, and the latest menopause trends, this episode will give you a different perspective.The truth is, fat loss in menopause doesn't have to take forever.Ready to find out what's actually keeping you stuck?Book a free strategy call and let's talk about your goals:Send us Fan MailThank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how I can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnowNow accepting clients!

In this Friday deep dive recap, Vanessa Spina breaks down the biggest takeaways from her recent interview with leading body composition researcher Dr. Bill Campbell.

In this episode, Vanessa Spina is joined again by leading body composition scientist Dr. Bill Campbell for a deep dive into menopause, weight loss resistance, rapid fat loss, protein, muscle preservation, and the newest research coming out of his lab.

Why does fat loss in menopause feel so hard… even when you're doing everything right?If you've been stuck eating 1,200 calories, doing more cardio, and still not seeing results, this episode will show you exactly why.This is Part 1 of a real client case study, where I take you inside an actual coaching conversation with my client Becky.No fluff. No theory. Just what actually works.Becky came in doing what most women in menopause are told to do: eating less, trying to be “good,” and pushing harder with workouts.And like so many women… it stopped working.In this episode, we break down: Why eating too little slows fat loss in menopause  How Becky went from under-eating to fueling her body properly  What a rapid fat loss phase actually looks like (and what results to expect)  The truth about scale fluctuations, water weight, and fat loss  How to hit protein goals without going over calories  How to eat out, enjoy life, and still see progress We also cover: Hormones, stress, and how they impact fat loss  Why “just eat more protein” isn't enough (and what to do instead)  The biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose weight in menopause  Becky's experience with GLP-1s and why it didn't solve the root problem One of the biggest breakthroughs Becky shared:For the first time, she finally understood what her body actually needed… and how to do it consistently.That's when everything changed.If you're tired of guessing, frustrated with conflicting advice, and ready for a smarter approach to fat loss in menopause, this episode will give you clarity.

In today's episode of Mastering Menopause, I'm breaking down the real results from the 14-day Rapid Fat Loss phase my clients and I just completed — and why this approach works so well for women in menopause when it's done correctly.We kicked this round off on January 5, right after the holidays. With inflammation high, stress elevated, and diet breaks already built in, I knew the timing was perfect for a strong fat loss response. And the results did not disappoint.Across this group, women lost anywhere from 4 to 9.4 pounds in just 14 days, dropped up to 4.2 percent body fat, and lost 5 to 8 inches, primarily from the waist. Even my leaner clients saw meaningful changes — and I personally dropped 6.2 pounds myself.In this episode, I explain why rapid fat loss is not something my clients do all the time, how it fits into my 90-day FIT AF framework, and why building metabolism first is non-negotiable if you want fast fat loss without rebound.I also walk you through:Why the first week always shows the biggest dropWhat's really happening when the scale stalls in week twoHow strategic calorie increases can restart fat lossWhy hunger stays low after the initial transitionHow sleep, energy, and workouts often improve during this phaseExactly how we reintroduce calories without regaining the weightThis episode is for women in menopause who feel stuck, frustrated by slow progress, or scared that faster weight loss will “just come back.” When rapid fat loss is structured, protein-forward, and time-bound, it can be one of the most effective tools for creating momentum and long-term success.I also share details about my upcoming free 5-day Menopot Meltdown challenge starting January 26, designed to help you build the foundation you need before attempting any fat loss phase.Lose 3-5 lbs in 5 days, kick those cravings, increase your energy, and shrink that belly! We start Monday 1/26.

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why cravings are not a willpower issue, but a hormonal and metabolic problem driven by insulin instability. Ben explains how insulin spikes shut off fat burning, trigger hunger hormones, increase stress, and fuel uncontrollable cravings, especially at night. He breaks down the science behind insulin, glucose crashes, ghrelin, cortisol, and dopamine-driven eating behaviors. You'll learn a simple, science-backed protocol to stabilize insulin first, before calorie restriction, cardio, or fasting, so cravings drop naturally and fat loss becomes automatic. The episode outlines a practical 7-day reset that helps reduce inflammation, water retention, and stubborn belly fat while restoring metabolic control. Ben also answers common questions about carbs, coffee, artificial sweeteners, protein intake, exercise, fasting, and how to make results sustainable long term. This conversation reframes fat loss as a metabolic healing process, not a discipline battle, and shows how true metabolic freedom feels calm, empowering, and sustainable.

In this episode of Mastering Menopause, I share client wins from the latest 2-Week Rapid Fat Loss Protocol, where our clients have lost 4–5.6 pounds so far in just the first week. I explain why not everyone is ready for an aggressive fat loss approach and why priming the metabolism with a reverse diet is essential before jumping into a deficit.You'll learn:Why eating too little for too long stalls fat lossHow to properly reverse diet back to maintenance caloriesWhat metabolic adaptation looks like in midlifeHow aggressive fat loss can be safe and effective when applied correctlyWhy mindset is just as important as macros and workoutsThis episode is for midlife women who feel stuck at low calories, frustrated by weight gain, and are curious about whether a rapid fat loss approach could finally move the needle.Thank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!If you want to see how we can help you on your journey, book a quick 10-15 minute call so we can chat about your goals!https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/quickchatnow Now accepting clients!

Sign up for the Fat Loss Blitz challenge to lose 3-7 pounds of fat in 2 weeks for the summer: http://witsandweights.com/physique--Is there a FASTER way to lose fat without sacrificing your hard-earned muscle? Yes! It's called the "micro-cut" and the goal is to lose between 3 and 7 lbs of fat in just 2 weeks.But there's a catch...Rapid fat loss is a more aggressive alternative for those who've already mastered the basics (training, tracking, protein, walking, and NOT dieting recently). It's a calculated approach that works remarkably well under the right conditions.When I personally tested this method, I dropped 5 pounds almost entirely from fat while preserving muscle mass. Others who've followed the protocol have lost between 3-7 pounds in 2 weeks with minimal impact on strength. The approach is especially useful for breaking through plateaus or addressing hormonal challenges like those faced during perimenopause.Ready to try it yourself? We're kicking off our Fat Loss Blitz challenge tomorrow.Join us with a free two-week trial in Physique University to get the complete protocol, expert guidance, community support, and a chance to win a free coaching session.

In this episode of Mastering Menopause, Robin shares her experience with the 14-day rapid fat loss protocol, a process that helped her lose 8 lbs and 7 inches, while uncovering some surprising truths about her habits and how inflammation was impacting her progress.Robin opens up about how hidden sugar cravings, mindless snacking, and overindulging, even while staying within her calories, were holding her back. She also realized that lingering inflammation from surgery and certain food choices were making it even harder to see results.Through the protocol, Robin discovered that cutting back on sugar, limiting alcohol, and building better habits dramatically improved her energy, digestion, and arthritis symptoms.If you've been feeling stuck despite “doing everything right,” Robin's story will inspire you to take a closer look at the habits, and hidden inflammation, that may be silently sabotaging your progress.Tune in to hear Robin's biggest takeaways, her mindset shifts, and how she's now in control of her health, and feeling better than ever.P.S.

Episode Description:In this episode, I'm sharing the amazing results from the 14-Day Menopause Rapid Fat Loss Protocol that I recently completed with 22 incredible women. Starting on January 6th, we started this aggressive, short-term approach designed to  lose fat, maintain muscle, and build confidence, and the transformations have been absolutely inspiring.Victoria lost 5.5 pounds and 11 inches, Diana dropping 5.8 pounds and 1.2% body fat with the help of ChatGPT for her meal planning, and Janet tackling stubborn belly fat while staying motivated for her upcoming trip. I lost 6 pounds, 5.25 inches, and reduced my body fat percentage from 26.6% to 25%.Group support made this protocol so much easier to stick to, how prioritizing protein kept hunger in check, and how clients learned to identify real hunger versus emotional or habitual eating. This isn't just about the scale—it's about body composition, sustainable habits, and the confidence to take control of your health.Pre-planning meals, intentional eating, and leveraging tools like ChatGPT helped make this process smoother and more effective.

In this episode, I'll be sharing my experience attending the Aggressive Dieting Seminar in Las Vegas. I'll talk about the evidence-based approach presented by Martin MacDonald, the nutritionist who conducted the seminar, and how it challenges traditional beliefs about weight loss. I'll also share my own experience with aggressive dieting and how it has helped my clients kickstart their weight loss journeys. Plus, I'll explain the importance of maintenance and habit change for long-term weight management.Aggressive dieting can be an effective approach for weight loss, especially for individuals with a significant amount of weight to lose.The approach focuses on reducing fat mass and improving health markers, such as hormone profiles and insulin levels.Maintenance and habit change are crucial for long-term weight management.The aggressive dieting approach may not be suitable for everyone, including children, individuals with eating disorders or health issues, and athletes.The approach involves a period of calorie restriction followed by a refeed to restore glycogen levels.Muscle loss can occur during aggressive dieting, but it can be regained easily once in maintenance.Individualized plans and coaching are important for success with aggressive dieting.The approach highlights the importance of accurate and consistent tracking of food intake.Aggressive dieting can help individuals stay motivated by seeing faster results.Maintenance is a crucial phase after aggressive dieting to maintain weight loss and establish healthy habits.Reach out to us about finding success for yourself with Aggressive Dieting: Individualized Plans and Coaching-fill out the coaching application!Sound Bites"Aggressive dieting can help kickstart weight loss and create a better relationship with food.""Aggressive dieting can improve health markers, such as hormone profiles and insulin levels.""Aggressive dieting can be motivating for individuals with a significant amount of weight to lose."Thank you so much for listening, please share with a friend and subscribe so you don't miss an episode!Free Macro/Calorie Calculator https://plan.katalystfitness.net Coaching Process Video and booking link https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/mmmcoachingapp Now accepting clients, use the link to apply for 1:1 coaching:https://www.menopotmeltdown.com/mmmcoachingappFree No BS Menopause Secrets Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kathykatalyst/?ref=shareFor all my social links: https://bit.ly/kathykatalystDo you have a question that you would like answered on the show?

In a dynamic conversation, Joel and Nate explore the transformative power of fasting. Joel introduces his journey into intermittent and prolonged fasting, highlighting its impact on focus, energy levels, and even muscle retention. The duo delves into the science of insulin, metabolic processes, and the misconception around fasting and starvation mode. Joel's anecdotes, from feeling "superhuman" to breaking down the impact on metabolism, add a compelling layer to the discussion.   Joel emphasizes the game-changing benefits of fasting, drawing parallels with the movie "Limitless." He dispels myths around the body's supposed need for constant digestion and sheds light on the distinction between fasting and starving. The significance of insulin in fat burning becomes a focal point, challenging the narrative of traditional calorie-cutting methods. As the conversation unfolds, Joel advocates for a shift from constant eating to strategic fasting for enhanced focus, energy, and sustainable weight loss.   Key Takeaways:   Fasting isn't about starving but strategically optimizing the body's metabolic processes. Insulin plays a pivotal role, and fasting allows the body to tap into fat reserves for energy. Long-term success requires a strong purpose, community support, and a diet plan as a sustainable vehicle. Fasting can enhance focus, energy, and overall well-being by minimizing constant digestion. Understanding the hormonal benefits of fasting is as crucial as focusing on protein intake for muscle retention.   Resources:   Joel's Free Guide: https://shedfatfast.com/ offers a comprehensive 15-minute training and a free guide with science-backed insights into fasting.
