162. I stopped doing cardio for my fat loss phase. here's what actually happened | Body Recomposition Week 29

  For years, I thought doing more cardio, burning more calories, eating less, and restricting little things like milk in my coffee was the answer. But even when I lost weight, my body composition never looked how I wanted it to. I still felt soft, frustrated, and like I was putting in so much effort with nothing to show for it. In this episode, I talk about the honest reality of losing the last 5kg, being hungry in a calorie deficit, navigating your menstrual cycle during fat loss, why the scale can fluctuate around your period, and how to know when it might be time to reassess your fat loss phase.   You’ll also see a realistic week of high-protein meals, protein oats, meal prep, full-body strength training, exercise filming for Fit & Free Academy, and the mindset shifts that helped me stop obsessing over calories and start focusing on building muscle, eating enough, and training properly.   If you want to lose fat, build muscle, tone up, feel confident in your clothes, and stop relying on cardio to change your body WITHOUT tracking calories, this vlog will help you understand what actually matters for sustainable body recomposition.   Subscribe for more realistic body recomposition episodes, fat loss tips, strength training advice, high-protein meal ideas, and honest conversations about building a body you feel confident in without losing your life to dieting.   OR watch the video for the full visual scoop!  https://youtu.be/x_Uf40E7ko8   Follow me on IG - https://www.instagram.com/fitandfreeacademy Follow me on TT - https://www.tiktok.com/@fitandfreeacademy   P.S.
