159. How I lost belly fat without cutting carbs
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of eating clean, being “good” all week, cutting carbs, doing more cardio, and still not seeing the lean, toned body you want, this episode will help you understand why. I’m breaking down how I’m losing belly fat while still eating carbs, how I balance my meals in a fat loss phase, and why carbohydrates are not the reason you’re not toned.
In this weekly body recomposition episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my 12-month mission to look and feel better in my 30s than I did at 25 - without extremes, cutting out carbohydrates, calorie counting, or restricting myself.
You’ll discover what I eat in a fat loss phase, including balanced meals with protein, carbs, fats, and fibre, plus a realistic meal prep, a running update, my pre-run warm-up, and how I handle chocolate cravings and emotional eating without spiralling or giving up on my goals.
This podcast series is for women who want to lose fat, build muscle, improve body composition, feel confident in their clothes, and finally stop bouncing between restriction, bingeing, cardio, and starting over every Monday.
