Description

Welcome to The Holly Perkins Health Podcast! Today we are investigating the problem with losing weight. In this episode, I offer you a new perspective: Stop focusing on the number on the scale. I cover the problems with losing weight and provide new perspectives on diet, exercise, and weight loss. Most importantly, I teach you why body composition is the gold standard measure of your health, fitness, and physical improvement — and the only measurement that needs your attention. First, I detail the three problems with losing weight and how to shift your mindset into muscle building. I provide new perspectives for losing weight and share (some) of the reasons why BMI is specifically problematic for women. I also review body composition in relation to body weight and share two ways to assess your body composition with the most reliability and accuracy. You get to decide what your body looks and feels like… and I personally cannot wait to see the photo of you marching your scale out to the garbage bin. Plus, you’ll gain research-backed resources in support of your success, and hear stories and lessons from my 30 years of experience. If you are frustrated by increasing belly fat, worried about your health, or obsess over your diet and the number on the bathroom scale.
