Disrupting Obesity
The Disrupting Obesity podcast is for anyone who’s looking to lose an extreme amount of weight and change their relationship with food so they can keep the pounds off. If you’re tired of feeling judged for being fat, of excluding yourself or being left out, and using food to comfort, reward, and cope with your emotions and the day to day, don’t waste time beating yourself up. You absolutely have what it takes to lose a significant amount of weight naturally in a way that you can sustain and that will ensure you keep the weight off too.
Hosted by Charlotte Skanes, a weight loss coach who lost and is keeping off over two hundred pounds, this show will give you the strategies and mindset you need to drop the weight. It’s going to encourage you and motivate you so that you can build the confidence and self-belief to find the healthiest version of yourself. It’s not about the food. It’s about your relationship with food. Once you start to change that relationship you can start disrupting obesity.

039 Ask Whatever VIII: Common Calorie Questions
Welcome back to another ‘Ask Whatever’ episode, where I answer your questions! Today I’ll be answering the most common questions surrounding calories. There is so much misinformation about calories, that I wanted to have somewhere you could go to get a whole bunch of answers at once! I’ll be starting with the basics, but diving deep into them and sharing some perspectives you might not have heard in the past. So let’s get started and get into the questions below:
• What's a calorie?
• How many calories should I be eating?
• Can you explain a "calorie deficit" and how to achieve it?
• How do I start tracking?
• Do I have to track carbs? Did you focus on tracking protein?
• What do you use to track?
• Is it true alcohol has no/low calories?
• Do I need to track if I'm intermittent fasting?
• How do you properly calculate calories for maintaining?
• Did you adjust your calories as you lost weight? How?
• Do you have to be in a calorie deficit each day or can you do it by the week?
• How many calories do I need to avoid starvation mode?
• Plus a bonus number 13 question!
I continue this series once a month, so if you’ve got any questions you’d like me answer on the show, submit them on my website here, send me DM on Instagram @Charlotteskanes or email them to charlotte@disruptingobesity.com. I love hearing from you!
