#49 - Why You Keep Losing and Regaining the Same 10 Pounds

from The Leaner You Podcast with Daniel Rosenthal and Santo Chiappetta · host Daniel Rosenthal

This week we kick things off with a truly painful dad joke, and then get into the real stuff.First, we talk about why you can feel completely exhausted after strength training, and when that fatigue is normal versus when it is a sign you’re pushing too hard or not recovering well.We cover practical recovery levers like sleep quality, stress, hydration, and fueling your training properly, plus why going super low-carb can make lifting feel brutal for a lot of people.Then we answer: what’s the best kind of protein powder to use?We break down whey vs whey isolate vs casein vs plant-based, when casein can be useful, what to look for on labels, and how to avoid overthinking it.Finally, we tackle a big one: “I’ve been losing and regaining the same 10 pounds for the last three years. How do I get out of this cycle?”We talk about why extreme approaches often backfire, how to make weight loss more sustainable, why most people have a maintenance problem (not a weight loss problem), and how shifting the goal away from the scale can help you keep results long term.If you’ve been working hard this year and you’re not seeing the progress you want yet, book a call and we’ll see if we can help: rosentrain.com/callRecommended Protein Powder: Legion Athletics (who sponsor Daniel, and this is an affiliate link)Follow 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.
