Fat Loss That Actually Lasts: Why You're Stuck (and How to Fix It)

If fat loss was as simple as "eat less, move more," 95% of diets wouldn’t fail. Yet here we are — stuck, frustrated, and confused by all the noise. In this episode, we cut through the chaos and give you the real science behind sustainable fat loss strategies that actually work long-term.

‍

We break down:
✔️ Why excessive cardio, crash diets, and over-supplementing set you up for failure
✔️ The 3 pillars of successful fat loss: flexibility over restriction, strength training over endless cardio, and lifestyle integration over obsession
✔️ Why calorie flexibility, muscle mass, and managing stress are critical to lasting results
✔️ A rapid-fire myth-busting round (spoiler: carbs aren't the enemy, and fat burners aren't magic)
✔️ A simple action plan you can start today to finally build momentum without burnout

‍

This episode isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about giving you the knowledge and tools to create real, lasting change. Fat loss is a skill you can learn, not a game of luck or willpower.
