  5. It's not just hitting number on the scale but HOW you hit the number on the scale.

  7. When you gain back the weight (because your body adapts), you typically will gain back all fat and not muscle.
  8. Why a slow metabolism matters
  9. Hidden down side of extreme diets/shakes/plans: these lose weight quick products never explain the loss of metabolism.
  10. It is possible to lose weight, take pauses, AND keep your metabolism strong during the process.

In our interview with Stacy Sims, she discussed how changes in hormone levels during menopause can impact strength and power.


Menopausal women can experience a loss in lean muscle mass and an increase in body fat. This can lead to a decrease in metabolism, making weight loss more difficult. But by using MetPro to assess your individual metabolism and then designing a nutrition and exercise plan around that, you can lose weight, even during menopause.


This week, MetPro Founder Angelo Poli joins Coach Crystal O'Keefe to cover the weight loss game plan for women who are going through menopause. In this interview, we cover:

· The role of protein—why it helps retain youthfulness for men or women

· What biological changes are an assault on strength, particularly power

· Why periodization is the key to reaching all goals (i.e., training cycle)

· How High-Intensity training can help with weight loss

· The best exercise and training options for women going through menopause

· Why conditioning is key before you start training

· How to take advantage of metabolism-revving cycles to do heavier training intensities known as a performance cycle

· Why crash diets or yo-yo diets are especially detrimental to women in perimenopause and those who are postmenopausal.

]]>36Stress Eating: What It Is, What Causes It, And Tactics To Stop It With Coach Cat RamirezVakUwpWaZTue, 23 Aug 2022 10:00:00 GMT1231falseDo you find yourself eating when you are not hungry? Or maybe in front of the TV, surprised at how much you just ate? If so, you are familiar with stress eating.

 

Stress eating is a term used to describe the act of mindlessly eating. It's usually done out of boredom or stress, and it can lead to weight gain and other health problems.

 

The physiological reaction that causes stress eating is called the "fight-or-flight" response. This response is triggered by stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which are released into your bloodstream when you're under stress. These hormones increase your heart rate and blood pressure, and they also make you feel hungry.

 

If you've noticed yourself eating or snacking more than usual, this episode with Coach Cat Ramirez is for you.

 

We discuss:

1. What causes stress eating

2. The physiological reaction from mindless eating

3. Other potential reactions that look like stress eating but aren't

4. How to spot if its true hunger or something else

5. Why changing eating habits is much more than just willpower

6. Strategies to stop habitual snacking
