In this podcast episode, I discuss losing weight and provide tips for those who are struggling. I emphasize the importance of following a whole food plant-based diet, which helps create a caloric deficit. I also mention the significance of maintaining muscle mass and suggest a moderate calorie deficit of 150 to 200 calories per day. I advise tracking calories using apps like Chronometer or MyFitnessPal and recommend measuring food portions to gain a better understanding of current consumption. I share my own experience and how perimenopause affected my weight loss journey.
