The Wag Podcast

In this episode, we discuss strategies for maximizing satiety to make losing fat in a calorie deficit more enjoyable and sustainable. We'll explore the importance of nutrient-dense foods and mindful eating, and how these can help you moderate your cravings for processed foods. Here are some of the key takeaways from the episode: Nutrient-dense foods are more filling than calorie-dense foods. Mindful eating can help you slow down and savor your food, which can lead to greater satiety. Cravings for processed foods are often driven by nutrient deficiencies. By following these strategies, you can make it easier to stick to your calorie deficit and reach your weight loss goals.

In today’s episode, we discuss whether you should cut weight, maintain weight, or gain weight and how to best set yourself up for success going down any of those paths by aligning it with the seasons of the year. Dieting is already an uphill battle as it is, so it may not make sense to be in a fat loss phase in the summer when you have more social events and travel going on. Whereas it may be easier to focus on maintaining your weight or improving skills like intuitive and mindful eating during the summer, winter could be a great time to consider bulking, building muscle, or increasing strength. Josh and Chris share their personal preferences and approaches while providing lots of insight to help you decide when in the year it’s best to focus on fat loss, maintaining, or gaining depending on your individual goals and the mindset you're in to make it successful.
