Ever wonder why your weight loss efforts don’t always give you that lean, defined look?

In this episode of The StrongHer Way, I’m breaking down the difference between fat loss and weight loss—and why muscle definition (aka getting “toned”) should be your real goal.

I’m sharing the exact strategies I use with my clients to help them see visible results, feel stronger, and build a body they love—all without extreme dieting or spending hours in the gym.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why weight loss and fat loss are NOT the same thing
✅ The role of protein intake in muscle definition and how much you really need
✅ Strength training essentials for sculpting muscle (without getting bulky)
✅ The surprising impact of sleep and recovery on your results
✅ How to structure your meals to support fat loss without cutting out your favorite foods

If you’re ready to stop fixating on the scale and start focusing on what actually works, this episode is for you!
