Are you in a DEFICIT or just DIETING? This is what a calorie deficit should REALLY feel like?

Think you’re in a calorie deficit?  Maybe not.  Most people feel like they’re dieting, but they’re not actually in a true deficit.  In this episode, I’ll break down exactly what that should feel like. Spoiler: being in a real deficit is hard.  You’ll be a little hungry, low on energy at times, and it’s definitely not somewhere you want to live long-term. The goal?  Use the deficit strategically,then shift into maintenance where your body (and mind) can thrive. Newsletter:FunctionallyFitwithElisehttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/functionally-fit-newsletterFREE RESOURCES:Click below for a great FREEBIE  on how to lose that extra belly weight:(MenoBelly Freebie) https://functionallyfitwithelise.ck.page/menobelly-blasterClick below for a MACRO GUIDE FREEBIE - a guide to understanding, setting, and tracking macroshttps://functionallyfitwithelise.kit.com/how-to-macro-guideMacro Calculator for Functionally Fit with EliseSLEEP HYGIENE RESOURCE:  CLICK HEREDISCOUNT CODES FOR PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE:Oats (Elise’s Favourite Breakfast) https://www.proateinmealz.com/  DISCOUNT CODE “ELISE10” to saveLEGION SUPPLEMENTS:https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/wverpDISCOUNT CODE:   “Elise” to save 20%OTHER PLACES YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4-C59WrT5jB5dgr0pOhVtAPodcast Spotify: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/etzurkovPodcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-elise-tzurkov-podcast/id1778056130Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/functionallyfitwithelise/?hl=enFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/383975962844507/Website: https://functionallyfitwithelise.com/Pinterest:  https://ca.pinterest.com/elisetzurkov/Related Episodes:Plateau Panic: The Truth About Weight Loss in Perimenopauseand Menopause Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/myWhPsXBeWb Plateau Panic:  TheTruth About Weight Loss in Perimenopause and Menopause Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/plateau-panic-the-truth-about-weight-loss-in/id1778056130?i=1000718831572 Plateau Panic:  TheTruth About Weight Loss in Perimenopause and Menopause YouTube: https://youtu.be/kIUq2uAuYxg Why You’re Gaining Weight in Perimenopause Spotify: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/eezBZs4BeWb Why You’re Gaining Weight in Perimenopause Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/why-youre-gaining-weight-in-perimenopause/id1778056130?i=1000676664182Why You’re Gaining Weight in Perimenopause YouTube: https://youtu.be/JCnxUcwoG84
