Why Extra Weight Isn’t Always Fat (And What It Really Is)

For the past two decades, nearly every client who’s come to me with the goal of losing weight says the same thing: “I need to burn this fat.” But when I look at them, what I often see isn’t fat at all.

I see functional imbalance.

Let’s start with the belly—where most people feel their "extra" weight. What if I told you it’s not actually fat… but waste? Yes, actual built-up waste matter in your colon. Most bodies today are walking around with kilos—yes, sometimes 10, 20, even 30 kg—of old, stagnant matter trapped inside their colon. It doesn’t just weigh you down physically—it creates pressure, fatigue, inflammation, and emotional heaviness too.

Once we begin cleansing the colon gently, the belly naturally flattens. Not because we’ve "burned" anything—but because we’ve released what no longer serves us.

And then there’s water weight. Most women I see are unknowingly holding large amounts of water, especially in their legs and lower body—just because of gravity. Muscles may be strong underneath, but the excess water creates a soft, swollen, or “puffy” look that blocks your results. No matter how much you train, the water can hide the definition of your muscles and make your workouts feel frustratingly pointless.

Here’s the surprising truth: many women suffering from water retention are the same ones constantly drinking water. We’ve been told to drink more and more, without realizing—our bodies are already overloaded. Like pouring more water into a sinking boat. If you’re urinating all the time and still bloated, your body is not asking for more—it’s asking for support to release what it’s holding.

When we release the accumulated stool and drain the excess water weight—guess what? In 95% of cases, there’s barely any "fat" left. The obsession with burning fat is misplaced. Weight gain today is much more about elimination than it is about calorie counting.

No one talks about this, because fat burners, detox teas, and diet pills are a billion-dollar industry. But the truth is simple: your body isn’t broken. It just needs to be supported in the right way.
