In this solo Q&A episode, I tackle the most common fat loss mistakes people make when they avoid food tracking, why "doing more" isn't always the answer to stalled progress, and how to know if your workout plan is actually working. I also share personal stories, including a 'bad' habit that taught me a life-changing lesson, nostalgic memories from my childhood, and how living in Portugal has shaped my approach to fitness and life. We’ll debunk frustrating fitness myths, expose overrated fat loss hacks, and I’ll give you practical advice for staying consistent when life gets busy—without derailing your goals at holidays, weddings, or social events. If you’ve ever wondered about ‘tone up’ workouts, why weight fluctuates even when you're consistent, or the real difference between clean eating and fat loss eating—this episode is for you.
