Dr Chalmers Path to Pro - Weight loss / Fat loss

July 28, 2025

A lot of people focus on losing weight without realizing that what really matters is losing fat. The number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story sometimes weight loss can mean losing muscle or just water, which isn’t helpful in the long run. Real fat loss depends on more than just cutting calories; it’s about getting your body into the right state to burn fat, and that means looking at things like insulin levels, inflammation, and nutrition.


Common diets often fall short because they miss the bigger picture. By focusing on simple things like cleaning up your diet, supporting your liver, balancing hormones, and building a little muscle, fat loss becomes more effective and sustainable. It's not about extreme restrictions it's about making smart, lasting changes.
