Perder grasa sin perder músculo

Losing weight seems like the goal… but at what cost? What's happening to your body when you lose weight without protecting your muscle mass? What if the real change wasn't about being thinner, but about being stronger? In this episode of Bendita Nutrición (Blessed Nutrition), Beatriz Boullosa and Nicolás Mier y Terán talk with trainer Irene Abadí about the importance of letting go of the obsession with the scale and focusing on what truly transforms health: building muscle. We discuss the impact of restrictive diets, the use of weight-loss medications, and the silent risk of losing muscle mass in the process. Because yes, you can lose weight… but you can also be weakening your metabolism, affecting your bone density, and increasing your risk of problems like insulin resistance or sarcopenia. We talked about how to train strength intelligently—even from home—why cardio isn't enough, how to prioritize protein amidst a chaotic life, and what to do when stress, work, and rushing threaten to sabotage your habits. Plus, Irene shares her personal journey: how she went from focusing on cardio and restriction to becoming a strength training advocate, especially for perimenopausal women seeking health, independence, and longevity. This episode is for you if you're tired of chasing numbers on the scale and want to start building a strong, functional, and sustainable body for the long term.
