Ep 2: The Problem With Losing Weight

The Holly Perkins Health Podcast

Today we are investigating the problem with losing weight. In this episode, I offer a new perspective: Stop focusing on the bathroom scale. I cover challenges with losing weight and provide a reframe for weight loss, diet, and exercise. Then, I teach you why body composition is the gold standard measure of your health, fitness, and physical improvement — and the only one that needs your attention.

First, I detail three problems with losing weight and how to focus your mindset on muscle building. I provide new perspectives for losing weight and share a few reasons why BMI is problematic for women. I also illustrate body weight vs body composition and how to accurately assess your body composition. You get to decide what your body looks and feels like… and I cannot wait to see the photo of you marching your scale out to the garbage bin.

If you are frustrated by increasing belly fat, or obsess over your diet and the number on the bathroom scale. This episode is for you.
