In this episode, I discuss those 3 questions:

2) I find it hard to stick to my dieting calories. I feel like my portions now aren't big enough and never satisfy me. I want to lose fat and I know I have to be in a calorie deficit for some time to do so but I struggle with consistency.
3) Do I need to change my training as I progress and get stronger or does it stay the same?

Because if your current lifestyle lead to fat gain - it won't ever lead to fat loss.
You will need to make different choices and make different decisions if you want to lose fat - and in this episode, I talk about 4 things you can focus on even before thinking about calorie deficit or any different diet.
If you aren't sure where to start - send me a message on Instagram and I will help you lose fat without overly restrictive diets and also make sure you won't gain it all back once you stop your diet.
Because instead of going through a painful diet, we will more focus on changing your behaviours which will lead to fat loss and to you maintaining the fat that you lost.
