  • Why Fat Loss Feels Hard (Before It Gets Easy)
    Oct 10 2025

    Most people quit their fat loss journey right before things finally start working. In this episode, I break down the biggest reasons why people give up, from plateaus, scale obsession, and boredom to all-or-nothing thinking—and what actually happens if you stick it out long enough for fat loss to “click.” I’ll share personal experiences, client lessons, and practical strategies so you can stay consistent and finally see results that last.

    If you’ve ever felt like giving up because fat loss feels too slow or too hard, this episode will help you understand why and give you the tools to push through.
