SPEAKER_00:We're your hosts, Brooke Brewer and
SPEAKER_01:Danny Mullen here from Raw Fitness. Confidently Flawed is a podcast dedicated to bringing you the secret sauce and helping you look good and feel even better.
SPEAKER_00:What's holding you back from being the most confident you? What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Confidently Flawed. If you haven't figured out yet, we're spending a lot of time these last few weeks talking about weight loss and just different subjects around weight loss because we're getting a lot of feedback about this. It's an important topic. We know that this is something that everyone is looking for, and we hope you guys have been enjoying the last few episodes we have had on this. If you haven't listened to those yet, we did an episode on strength training for weight loss. We did an episode on on like some debunking some myths for weight loss. We even did an episode on like a natural way to lose weight versus a medicated way. So definitely go back and listen to those if you haven't. But this one, we just kind of want to be really short to point, kind of wrap a bow on this topic. that really was intended to be a weight loss series, but I guess maybe it kind of was. Um, but we want to just wrap a bow on it. The number one reason, um, you're not losing weight. And I am so happy that I am going first because if I have to throw Danny for a loop where he has to come up with his own, um, at least I didn't, I don't have to do that. But Danny and I obviously number one reason, um, we thought it'd be cool for me to share my number one reason and Danny to share his number one reason. So you're going to get two reasons, um, why you're not losing weight. And like I said, I'm going first. So if Danny has the same reason, we're either, I guess, going to double down on it or he's got to, in his mind, think of another one. Brooke Bocci's number one reason I feel that you are not losing weight is because you are not focusing on your diet. I do believe in the saying that everything starts in the kitchen. I really, really, truly do. Yes, I think fitness is important. I don't think fitness is the number one reason you're not losing weight. I think it's your diet. I think your diet is the number one reason you're not losing weight. And it's funny, my husband was home when I was sitting here trying to you know Take notes on this. And I just asked him because I was like, I'm curious. Are our minds the same? And he said, I think it's portion control. So I was like, ooh, I wanted to bring that up because my mind with diet was that you're just not eating the right amount of diet. But I think that takes it a step further of you might think you're eating the right foods, but you might be eating too much of it. Or on the contrary, too little of it, right? You might be starving yourself too much to where your body actually isn't using those nutrients, it's actually starving yourself. Or you're like, Brooke, I eat chicken and asparagus every single meal. I am doing all the right foods and I just can't lose weight. Well, maybe you're eating too big of portions and that's why you're not losing weight. So to me, without going into detail of what your diet should be, I mean, literal simple to the point, I think, Brooke Bocci, the number one reason why you are not losing weight is because of your diet, right? All right, Danny, did you have the same one or do we get two options today?
SPEAKER_01:So kind of the same, but slight variance. So which is probably best case for the listeners, because it means we're on the right path with what it should be. But it's like kind of two parts of it. So I also am going to hit on nutrition because I agree you can work out to your blue in the face. But if you go home and eat like crap, you're not going to get very far. or if you go home and you don't eat the right ratios of food. So not necessarily portion, but more the ratios of the types of food you're eating. And I'm in particularly kind of talking about the macronutrients, right? If I'm coming in and I'm, if my goal is eat 1200 calories and I eat 1200 calories, but it's straight Oreos, right? I'm probably not really going to get great results because my body's full of blood sugar. I'm going to be up and down. I'm going to start losing muscle mass and all these different things where if I had the right ratios of the food or macronutrients, I might be in a better spot because there's been a lot of times I've worked with people and the first thing they say when they come in is like, but I'd eat really good. And a lot of times they do. They eat quality food. Like you said, they eat chicken and asparagus every meal, right? And that's great. It makes it easier to make the transition. But if you have too much or too little fat in relation to the carbs and proteins, that's going to have an effect. If you're eating too much or too little carbs in relation to protein or too fat, that's going to be an issue. And probably, and obviously not enough protein in general. Probably the biggest thing that I see is or why people aren't losing weight, they eat relatively healthy, is they're almost too balanced in their carbs, fats, and proteins. Meaning like if we track their calories and then you ratioed out their calories, it's like 30 to 40%-ish of carbs, proteins, and fats. It's like all like compiled in at once. And you think like, well, that's not too bad, but it generally ends up being too bad because you're, your carbs and your fats are gonna be a big source of your body's energy. So rule of thumb is you probably shouldn't have both of them higher. So an easy way to look at this is have moderate to higher protein and then choose your preference. If you like fattier foods, have higher fats and lower carbs. If you like carbohydrates, have higher carbs, drop your fats a little bit. But you just can't have all of them like moderate to higher because your body just isn't going to have– not necessarily just the calorie deficit but also the the energy deficit to like start using stored body fat to plug away at that right because it knows it's getting plenty of energy from the fats and the carbs combined that you're consuming verse just the one and then the other is lower so then your body has to then rely on utilizing the body fat stores that you have as the energy source to start burning that off so that's mine it's similar to yours but a slight variance that i agree with you it is diet i also agree with you it is about portion control but my the like next tier like on top of that to add to that is Also look at the ratios of the foods. And a rule of thumb to make it easy is have as much protein as you can and then either just have your carbs a little bit higher and your fats are pretty low or have your fats a little bit higher and your carbs are a little bit lower. You do that, you're probably going to see some better results and you won't have that blocker of that one thing that's holding you back from losing weight.
SPEAKER_00:So I just have to show you guys, I know a lot of this is audio, but I'm going to show daddy so he doesn't so he can believe me. My it's probably backwards, but it says diet portion control slash macros that was written before we had this call. So I love that, that it's just, it was doubling down. Like you have two people, we literally went into this not knowing each other's at all. And we basically were on the same page. And so I think that just goes to show how important diet and macros and portion control and all that is. So just wanted to show that because when you said macros, my mind instantly just was like, if only he could see my notes. Like I didn't bring on macros because I was trying to not get too, like too into it, but I wanted to bring up the portion control because that's what Joe said. But then When you said macros, I was like, okay, I have to share it because it's literally what I wrote.
SPEAKER_01:Well, as Brooke said, it just shows you right there that it's inevitable that if two people that have been doing this forever and have had a lot of experience in this scenario are saying it, you probably should write it down and listen. So hopefully you guys can understand. take away, you know, take something from this and start to look at your portions, look at your macronutrients and you don't have to go crazy with it, but start small, but just start looking at that, being conscious and you'll probably start seeing better results.
