ERF 1,017: Stop Complaining (Or At Least Do This After)

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to get into something I've been wanting to talk about for a while — why complaining, victim mentality, and negative self-talk are actually what's keeping you stuck, and it has nothing to do with your circumstances being fake. I break down the difference between venting and enabling, why so many people have tied their identity to their limitations without realizing it, and what it actually looks like to acknowledge a hard situation and then do something about it anyway. If you catch yourself saying "I don't have time" or "I can't because of X" more than you take action, this one's for you. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html Free Calorie Calculator https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/ Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code “ERIC” HERE https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dy Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with Zayan, a client of coach Irene's who dropped 50 pounds in six months — and did it through some of the most consistent, no-drama execution I've ever seen from a client. I talk with him about how he went from ignoring his health entirely to trusting the process so completely that he accidentally deadlifted 315 thinking it was 300, got fitted for a suit and heard "perfect shape off the rack" for the first time in his life, and hit a downward trend on the scale almost every single week. If you've been waiting for the "right time" to start, Zayan's the example that kills that excuse for good.

Lose 10-20 lbs in 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Clubhouse client Phylicia and her coach Jen to walk through one of the most honest transformation stories we've ever shared on this podcast. Phylicia went from 325 pounds — barely able to walk to her car after a shift, sitting on her bed just to put her socks on — to down over 132 pounds and now in an actual bulk, hitting PRs on deadlifts and bench press. But more than the weight, what this conversation is really about is what changed when Phylicia finally stopped putting everyone else first — her stepkids, her job, everyone — and started treating her own goals like they mattered just as much. If you've ever felt like you're the last person on your own priority list, this one's for you. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html Free Calorie Calculator https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/ Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code “ERIC” HERE https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dy Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to break down why the scale does the frustrating, confusing things it does — spikes after a perfect week, stalls for three weeks then drops five pounds overnight, shoots up after a hard workout. I go through every major reason this happens: cortisol and water weight, the whoosh effect, the menstrual cycle, poor sleep, high-fiber foods, and more. By the end of this episode, you'll understand what the scale is actually measuring — and it's a lot more than fat — and why that number going up might actually mean things are working.

90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down food noise — that constant mental chatter about food that makes sticking to your diet feel impossible — and why it has nothing to do with your willpower. I walk through eight specific reasons your food noise gets loud, from skipping protein early in the day and slashing your calories too low, to keeping trigger foods in the house and never building a consistent eating routine. I also give my honest, no-drama take on GLP-1s and peptides — what they actually do, who they're really for, and why they don't replace the habits you need to build either way.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with my assistant coach Mary for a live Clubhouse Power Hour where our members bring their real questions and we coach them through it in real time. We cover why your weight spikes after a fun weekend and how to actually bring it back down faster, how to stop your grip strength from limiting your lower body training, what's actually happening in your body when you stress eat and how breathwork can help you get back in control, and why you might be waking up starving at 3am — and what to eat at dinner to fix it. These are the questions our real members are dealing with right now, and we give them straight answers with no fluff.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to break down why most people can't stay consistent with their fitness — and it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or motivation. I walk through why the plans people try to follow are actually set up to fail them, how all-or-nothing thinking sounds like discipline but is the thing that wrecks people every time, and what it actually looks like to build a plan around your worst, busiest days instead of your best ones. We also get into accountability, self-efficacy, and why doing two workouts a week you never miss will always beat six workouts a week you quit by Wednesday.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Coach Judy and her client Allia, who has been through something most people never actually finish — a full bulk, a cut, and multiple stretches of maintenance, all with her sanity mostly intact. I wanted to bring Allia on because she's a real example of what it looks like when you actually trust the process across every phase, even when the rules feel like they completely flip on you. We get into what the bulk was really like mentally and physically, why maintenance might be the most underrated goal in fitness, and why having a coach isn't just about the program — it's about having somewhere to put the noise in your head so you don't make a dumb decision at 11pm.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I share a live recording I did on my TikTok where I took your questions on some of the topics I get asked about most — calorie deficits, whether calorie banking actually works, intermittent fasting, creatine for women, and whether you can actually ruin your metabolism. I also share a story I don't tell that often about the time lifting weights literally saved my life — and why that's the real reason I tell everyone to strength train no matter what. If you've ever talked yourself out of a workout because your nutrition wasn't perfect that day, this one's for you.

Check out My Birthday Deals here: https://ericrobertsfitness.com/birthdayevent.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to talk about why all the health advice you're seeing on social media — seed oils, HRV tracking, cold plunges, cortisol — is making you more overwhelmed and less likely to actually do anything. I break down why consuming information has become a form of procrastination, what the actual basics are that most people still aren't doing, and I go through the biggest trending health topics right now and tell you which ones matter and which ones are a waste of your time.
