ERF 963: The Science Behind Weight Loss

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On this episode, I chat about my personal experience with anxiety, overwhelm, and the guilt of feeling like you're never doing enough — including waking up at 2:26 AM with a racing mind just this morning. I walk through three tactical things I actually do to work through these feelings: writing your thoughts down to get them out of your head, taking action to lower your anxiety, and reframing guilt as fuel for growth rather than a sign something is wrong. If you've ever felt stressed, anxious, or like you should be doing more, this episode is for you.

Join My 8-Week Clubhouse Challenge https://ericrobertsfitness.com/8wk-clubhouse-challenge.html On this episode, Coach Mary and I tackle one of the most common frustrations in weight loss: why your progress seems slower than everyone else's. We break down the physiological, lifestyle, and mental factors that affect your rate of progress—from starting points and muscle mass to stress levels and previous dieting history—and explain why comparing yourself to others is setting you up for failure. The key takeaway: slower, sustainable progress beats fast results that don't last, and the only way you truly fail is by quitting on yourself.
