27. The Science Behind Healthy Fat Loss + Lifestyle you can Sustain w/ Craig Hughes

"Do I count carbs? Should I do keto? What does gluten-free mean?"
-- We've heard ALL the diets. What is a natural way to burn fat +
how do we build a healthy lifestyle we can actually sustain
long-term? I have Craig Hughes, of @BodyByCraig, back on the show
this week to set the record straight on what you are
misunderstanding about building your nutrition plan. 





Body by Craig is the current Pageant Planet Trainer of the year
(2019) + Top 5 nationally ranked trainer for the past two years.
Before Craig, I had started eating healthier but didn't know what
I was doing. I knew that "bread was bad" + to stay away from
sugar, I noticed I was losing weight but that wasn't my goal, I
wanted to gain MUSCLE. When I started working with Craig in June
2019, he completely restructured not just my eating habits, but
my lifestyle as a whole, the same lifestyle I carry out
today. 





In this episode, Craig is spelling out EXACTLY what it means to
loose fat in a healthy way, why intermittent fasting is so
important, + the theory behind carb-restricted diets vs. keto.
Craig has found a bridge between these two very popular diets,
which has proven to work in the last 8 years he's been training
women.  Want to understand how to sustain your fat loss?
Let's dive in, notebooks are necessary for this one.
