About this episode
In this episode of The Macro Hour, Nikkiey Stott breaks down the Fat Loss Hierarchy and flips the common misconception that cardio is the key to fat loss. Most people are told that endless cardio is the holy grail, but in reality, nutrition is the foundation, weight training is the accelerator, and cardio is just the cherry on top.
Nikkiey dives into why focusing on nutrition first is essential for real body composition changes, how strength training amplifies results, and why cardio should be a tool—not the main strategy. If you’ve been stuck in the cardio-first mindset, this episode will help you reframe your approach and fuel your body the right way to reach your goals. Tune in and learn how to optimize fat loss the right way!
