Welcome to Empowered Radio.

I am your host, Emma Montgomery, an online nutrition and fitness coach and creator of Shred with M.

Each week we'll talk all things nutrition, training, and mindset.

You'll be able to take my tips and

strategies and apply what you learn to see results with both your body and your mind. So without

further ado, let's jump into the episode. What's up guys and welcome back to another episode of Empowered Radio.

mistakes, really, that I see made most often.

So I believe I've got five listed down here that I'm going to dive into and talk a little

more in depth about each one.

But the first one is really just focusing on complex strategies or supplements versus the caloric intake.

So I see so many people talk about intermittent fasting and different trendy

diets, meal timing, eating late at night, things like that. So really nutrient timing,

intermittent fasting, those are the biggest ones that I'll see people talk about. And honestly,

at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what time

you're eating. It matters the amount of food that you're eating. So if you are not tracking your

calories first and foremost, because calories are king when it comes to weight loss. So you cannot

manage what you don't measure. So if you're not

tracking your calories in, then you have no idea if you're eating in a calorie deficit, which is what

is required for weight loss. So that's the biggest one I see is people focusing on intermittent fasting

and nutrient timing and things and missing the boat on just starting with tracking their

calories to make sure that they're first and foremost in a calorie deficit. And that goes for supplements too.
