Ep. 409 Q&A - Are Hormones Really Stopping Fat Loss? Why The Last Pounds Are Harder? Why One Off Meal Spirals? Are You Training Hard Enough? - The Coaches Roundtable

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable Q&A, Chase and Chris break down some of the biggest struggles people face during fat loss. They start by talking about hormones versus calories and why focusing on what you can control matters most. They explain that hormones can affect fat loss, but usually only by a small amount, and consistency still wins.They also answer why losing the last few pounds feels harder than the first 50. As your body gets smaller, you need fewer calories, which means less room for error. Progress also slows down and the scale fluctuates more, which can feel frustrating.Next, they talk about why one off meal can spiral into a whole day off track. This usually comes from guilt, perfectionism, and an all or nothing mindset. They explain how bouncing back at the next meal is the key to staying consistent.Finally, they discuss how to know if you are training hard enough. If your workouts feel too easy and your reps never slow down, you probably are not pushing close enough to failure. Challenging yourself in the gym is what leads to strength, muscle, and the toned look most people want.Chapters(00:00) Hormones vs Calories and What Actually Controls Fat Loss(10:33) Why The Last Few Pounds Are Harder Than The First 50(16:58) Why One Off Meal Turns Into A Whole Day Off Track(24:05) Are You Training Hard Enough In Your WorkoutsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris’ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective
