Ep. 28 Why fat loss feels harder than you expected 02.03.2026

Fat loss feels harder than expected because it has a real “cost” and dragging it out makes it feel even worse. Expect lower energy, more food noise, scale fluctuations + less spontaneity (that’s normal in a deficit). Small, consistent deficit + high protein + steps + structured lifting beats “weekend undoing/eyeballing/chopping & changing.” Sustainable loss is slow (roughly 0.25–0.75% bodyweig...

Ep. 26 Doing HARD things! 16.02.2026

This week I’m talking about why real progress comes from doing the hard things, especially when you don’t feel like it. Fat loss and muscle building are meant to feel uncomfortable at times.

Wee Pro Tip 💡 When you don’t feel...

Ep. 25 Are you training hard enough to get results? 09.02.2026

In this episode, I’m breaking down what “training hard enough” actually means if you want to build muscle, get stronger, and see real change. Quick takeaways: “Toned” = building muscle + losing body fat (dieting alone won’t do it). Muscle growth needs: good form + enough load + training close to failure + recovery . Use reps in reserve : beginners can leave 3–4 reps , experienced lifters aim for 1...
