#48 - Why Weight Loss Was Easier Before Kids (And What Actually Works Now)

In this episode, we talk about why weight loss really did feel easier before kids.We break down how sleep, stress, time, and responsibilities change the game once real life kicks in.We unpack the popular advice to “just find a workout you enjoy” and where that helps vs where it quietly holds you back.We explain how to use fun movement and still get serious results, and why strength training becomes non-negotiable if we want to stay strong, capable, and lean long term.We walk through what actually counts as a “good” workout when we are tired, short on time, and pulled in ten directions.We share how we think about effort vs outcome, excuses vs real constraints, and what to do when every pound we lose seems to creep back on.Study mentioned: "Daily energy expenditure through the human life course" https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abe5017Follow Daniel on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/rosentrain/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Santo on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/santo.chiappetta/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This podcast provides general fitness and nutrition information only.
