Everything You’ve Been Told About FAT LOSS Is Wrong (Metabolism, Body Composition & Best Practices EXPLAINED)

In this episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, I break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in the health and fitness space: fat loss. While our culture is obsessed with the number on the scale, weight loss and fat loss are not the same—and they lead to very different outcomes for both health and body composition. In this solo episode, I unpack common myths around spot reduction and so-called “fat-burning” hacks, and share evidence-based strategies for losing body fat while preserving lean muscle.
