Weight Loss Isn’t Fat Loss | Ep. 334
Fri Feb 06 2026
Most women are chasing weight loss—when what they actually want is fat loss.
In this episode of The Macro Hour, we break down the critical difference between losing weight and losing body fat—and why misunderstanding the two keeps so many women stuck. We unpack what the scale actually measures (and what it doesn’t), why aggressive dieting leads to muscle loss instead of fat loss, and how that cycle slows your metabolism and leaves you feeling frustrated and exhausted.
You’ll learn why building and preserving lean muscle is the key to changing how your body looks, functions, and feels—and how to track real progress beyond the scale using strength, body composition, energy, and recovery.
If the number on the scale has been running your decisions, this episode will change how you measure success.
