Some key takeaways from this episode include:

  • If weight loss is your primary goal, nutrition is the key to achieving that, not exercise. Exercise will of course help and has so many amazing health benefits, but it shouldn’t be the core driver of your weight loss efforts.

  • Don’t steer clear of weightlifting just to avoid bulking up. It takes SO much effort to bulk up, and working with a Registered Dietitian will ensure your strength training efforts are helping you lose fat and build muscle.

  • You need to prioritize recovery, sleep, and cool downs at the end of a workout. Plan your week to give you time between the different muscle groups you’re working, and get the right amount of sleep to build those muscles!
