#13 Making it easier to lose weight

  Today’s episode is all about how to choose what and how you eat carefully, so that your body is ‘fat adapted’.   When you are fat adapted your body is efficient at using its own fat as a source of fuel and energy. And this is what you want when you’re losing weight because, not only will the weight come off more easily, but it will be easier not to overeat because you will feel less hungry.   But unfortunately, many of us, especially those of us who are overweight, are not fat adapted. For many of us it’s difficult to lose weight because our eating habits have unknowingly caused our bodies to only be using readily available glucose and glycogen as a source of energy and fuel, and not our own body fat, in the way that they should be.   And today we explore why that’s happening and what you can do about it.     About Clair:     CLAIR MACKENZIE IS A LIFE & WEIGHT COACH WHO HELPS FEMALE PROFESSIONALS AND ENTREPRENEURS LOSE WEIGHT BY TRANSFORMING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD AND THEMSELVES FOR LIFE     Clair’s uses an array of coaching tools and techniques to help women, who are done with dieting, take control of their eating whilst increasing their self-belief and self-worth.     “There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone overcome their detrimental relationship with food so that they can thrive in optimal physical and mental wellbeing.”     After overcoming decades of struggling with her own weight and losing 6 stone Clair used her experience and coaching qualifications to create her two programmes; ‘Lose Weight.
