Hello, high and welcome to another episode of The Emmer Gunn Show, and thank you if you are

returning to this video because you are watching me as I attempt to lose 10 pounds. Now, I need to

stop saying that because actually this isn't

about losing 10 pounds. It is very much about being a woman in her late 40s who wants to

body recomp and hoping that along the way, that recomp, which means reducing my body fat and

increasing my muscle mass, leads to a shift in my scale weight. And I sort of dathly stupidly,

and I'm sorry that I'm preempting every single episode to say this, but I'm at pains to say it,

because saying that you want to lose 10 pounds is kind of like that cover thing that says,

bikini body writing in two weeks. It rolls off the tongue. But what we're really trying to do here,

what I'm really trying to do here, is to change my body composition so that my muscle is

increased and my body fat is decreased. Why? Because metabolically, that will make me more

efficient if I have more lean muscle. I also like being stronger. I like building muscle.

And as somebody who has been obese in the past

and is still technically on the BMI scale overweight, I would like to drop my body fat percentage

for the reasons that there are complications. There are health issues associated with a higher

body fat percentage

that we can go into another time. But I mean, really, this is fundamentally about how does a

woman who has a history of binge eating modify their diet and exercise routine in order to

achieve this goal? And I'm going to tell you that this week, I have gained weight, not just a little bit of weight,

three pounds, but do I look worried? Oh, sorry, if you're listening to the podcast, I'm

obviously filming this as well, and I'm staring down the barrel of the camera looking like,

of course I'm not. I'm trying to raise an eyebrow, but I simply cannot do that. I am not worried.
