In this episode, Kelli gives great insight into how she goes about designing primarily weight loss programs for her clients, many of whom have gotten caught up with unsuccessful yo-yo dieting, quick fixes, and other unsustainable methods with her clients. She also discusses topics such as: how she addresses lack of adherence if it becomes an issue, why tracking fats, carbs, protein, at least initially, is so important in setting up a successful weight loss journey, the importance of progressive resistance training as part of a weight loss program, addressing common misconceptions around weight loss, and views on the “body weight set point theory”, which is a theory that proposes our bodies have a set point that it gravitate towards, which may make it harder to successfully lose weight.

This was a great episode that I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
