I will often see clients in my office who come to me because they’ve grown frustrated with their weight loss attempts so they turn to me to get my expert opinion given my back ground. So I wanted to highlight some the fundamentals of weight loss including how we calculate a persons caloric needs as well as other factors to take into consideration.

The fundamentals of weight loss revolve around creating a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume. We can do that one of two ways, by either increasing the amount of calories we burn through activity and/or consuming less calories. In order to do that, we need to have a basic understanding of about where that person’s calorie burn and intake is.

In this podcast we discuss the various equations involved in calculating calorie needs as well as meal tracking tools, wearable devices, and the many variables at play when using these estimates. I also highlight other important considerations including gut health, hormones, stress, and sleep management.
