    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.
