    How to lose fat without losing muscle, lessons from a sport that gets it right

    In this episode, host Amelia Phillips and elite fitness coach Sharelle Grant discuss one of the biggest frustrations in midlife health: how to lose body fat without sacrificing the muscle that keeps us strong, energetic and metabolically healthy. For most people, weight loss, whether from calorie restriction, GLP-1s, more cardio or “clean eating”, comes with an unwanted side effect: muscle loss. In some cases, women can lose almost as much muscle as fat, leaving them smaller, softer, more tired and metabolically worse off. But there’s one sport that has quietly mastered the holy grail of body composition: losing fat while building muscle.  Love it or hate this sport is refining the science of body recomposition, how to strip fat while preserving and even growing lean tissue. In this episode, Amelia and Sharelle unpack the strategies used and, more importantly, how everyday women can adapt them in a sustainable, healthy way, without extreme dieting or burnout. If you’ve ever felt that weight loss just leaves you weaker rather than fitter, this conversation will completely reframe how you approach fat loss. About the Guest Sharelle Grant is a registered nurse and midwife turned elite fitness coach, FMG Sports Model/Bikini Pro athlete, and the founder of Women’s Health Movement, a global coaching platform that has helped thousands of women transform their bodies through evidence-based strength training, smart nutrition and sustainable habits. With a large international following on Instagram, Sharelle is known for cutting through fitness myths and empowering women to build muscle, lose fat and feel strong and confident at any age.

They also discuss the confusing topic of whether  prolonged overnight fasts are helpful or harmful for women and why.  Dr Stacy will be touring Australia with Sarah Grynberg, find out more here: https://fane.com.au/taking-the-stage-dr-stacy-sims-and-sarah-grynberg-announce-new-australian-tour-dates/ Dr Stacy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstacysims/  Sign up to Dr Stacys Newsletter: https://www.drstacysims.com/generic_optin  Dr Stacy's protein coffee recipe: Scroll down.

Chill overnight for a ready-made drink Method: Brew your coffee. Combine coffee with protein powder (and optional ingredients) in a blender—blending ensures smooth texture and better absorption  . Blend until frothy and well-mixed. Enjoy within 30–60 minutes of waking—it aligns with natural cortisol rhythms, helping stabilize energy and support muscle protein synthesis . Why This Recipe Works for Women Sustainable energy + less crash: Combining protein with caffeine helps blunt cortisol spikes and prevents those shaky jittery responses we often get from coffee alone  . Muscle preservation + training support: Leucine-rich protein early in the day supports muscle recovery and metabolism—especially important for active women or those navigating hormonal transitions  . Hormone-friendly routine: Enjoying protein coffee as soon as you wake sets a physiological tone of “fed and safe,” which can improve energy, reduce cravings, and enhance mood—less fatigue, more focus.
