ERF1,002: Fitness Q&A: Stress Eating, Fasting, Menopause & More

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down the nutrition mistakes I see from people doing both cardio and weights in the same week and why under-eating is at the root of almost all of them. Sophie and I get into how to adjust your calories and carbs on training days, what to eat before high-intensity sessions, and why I told a new client she couldn't train for a half marathon, lift five days a week, and drop the last 10 pounds all at once.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down seven signs your body is building muscle that most people completely misread — things like being hot at night, feeling starving after meals, hitting a wall of fatigue at 2pm, and watching the scale refuse to move. I walk through why each of these signals actually means your body is doing its job, not that something's wrong, and why understanding them can keep you from quitting right before you see real change.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I answer a ton of rapid-fire questions from a recent TikTok live — everything from stress eating and intermittent fasting to menopause weight gain, how many sets you actually need, and why losing a pound a week is better progress than you think. I break down what actually matters versus what social media has convinced you matters, and I don't sugarcoat any of it.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie for episode 1,000 and get real about what seven years of doing this podcast has actually looked like — including why right now is the hardest stretch I've had, even after a thousand episodes. I talk about the gap between being grateful for what I've built and the obsession with wanting more, what I'd tell someone who's afraid to start, and why the goals in your head are there for a reason.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down seven weird signs that show up right before your belly fat actually disappears — things like peeing constantly, your stomach feeling flabbier, being cold all the time, and even bad breath — and why each one means the plan is working, not failing. Most people hit these signs and quit because they think something's wrong, so I explain the science behind what's really happening in your fat cells and why you need to keep going.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I bring you guys a recording of a TikTok Live Q&A where I answer your questions in real time — everything from why you keep overeating at night even though you're "good" during the day, to whether you should use a GLP-1 if you only have 20 pounds to lose, how to fit treats into your diet every single day without blowing your deficit, and how often you actually need to change your workout program. I also break down my 300-calorie rule, which is one of the simplest things you can do to stop feeling like you need a cheat day.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with our client Michael and coach Jamie to talk about how Michael dropped 30 pounds and four inches off his waist while traveling constantly, caring for his mom, and working around a diagnosis that told him he'd never lift more than 50 pounds again — he's now deadlifting 225. I wanted to get Michael on because his story is one of the best examples I've seen of what actually happens when a busy, high-achieving person stops trying to think their way through fitness and just lets the process work. If you've ever used your schedule, your injury, or your circumstances as a reason it can't happen for you, this one's going to be hard to ignore.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I get real about something I've been dealing with the past few weeks — that feeling of never doing enough, never progressing fast enough, and always moving the goalpost. I break down why that feeling is actually the engine behind everything you've accomplished, why complaining about it is the real problem, and what I've been doing personally with gratitude and rewarding yourself to keep pushing without burning out.

Join my Clubhouse App - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down the three biggest mistakes people make when they try to combine cardio and weights — and then I give you the exact system to fix it. I walk you through two paths depending on your goal, whether that's fat loss or performance, and I lay out exactly how many days to lift, how much cardio to do, what zone to stay in, and what order to put it all in so you're not running your recovery into the ground.

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down that viral Ozempic bone density study with Sophie. I walk through the real numbers, why a "30% higher risk" headline is misleading when the absolute difference is less than 1%, and why the researchers didn't even track whether people were eating protein or lifting weights. Whether you take a GLP-1 or not, I lay out exactly what you need to be doing to protect your muscle and bone density.
