ERF 1,034: The Cortisol Lie They’re Selling Women In Perimenopause

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to talk about why up to 90% of people who lose weight end up gaining it back. I break down why it's not a willpower problem — it's a battery you're draining too fast — and give you the exact environment hacks, like the 24-hour rule, ordering the kids' meal, and setting drink limits, that actually keep the weight off for good. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.htmlFree Calorie Calculator - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code "ERIC" HERE - https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dyCheck out Marek Health at - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcastYoutube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitnessVideo Podcast: - https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html On today's episode I break down the truth about losing fat and building muscle at the same time — yes, you can do both, but it comes down to which of four types of people you are. I walk through the exact calorie, protein, and training setup for each one, and why the scale is the worst way to tell if it's actually working. If you've been chasing a goal weight that never quite feels right, start here.

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with my co-host Sophie to break down the trending fitness advice busy women keep seeing online — 4-minute belly fat workouts, the fear of getting bulky from lifting, and fiber maxing. I get into why exercise snacks actually help in ways you wouldn't expect, the real difference between soluble and insoluble fiber (and why most "high fiber" foods do nothing to keep you full), and whether fiber really earns the "nature's Ozempic" label everyone's throwing around. If you've been unsure what's worth your time and what's just hype, this one sorts it out. 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 Check out Marek Health at - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast 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 get honest about how I gained more body fat than I'd like — and I'm the guy who's coached 25,000+ people through the exact same excuses. I break down the lies I kept telling myself, the "flat tire" moment in Mexico that finally snapped me out of it, and the specific nutrition, training, and blood work changes I've made to drop 8 pounds while still training hard for my Hyrox race. If you've been quietly telling yourself "it's not that bad," this one's for you.

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with my co-host Sophie to answer your questions on why the scale isn't moving. I break down how cortisol and water weight can mask your fat loss, why dropping to 1200 calories backfires every time, and why burning fat in the "fat-burning zone" isn't the same as losing stored body fat. If you've been doing everything right and feeling like nothing's working, this one's going to make a lot of things click. 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 Check out Marek Health at - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast 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 break down what cortisol actually does to your fat loss — and why it doesn't stop you from losing fat, it just hides the fat you've already lost behind water weight, which is exactly why so many people quit thinking their plan is broken. I get into the scale games, the "whoosh effect," and the five ways I have our clients actually track progress. And I go off on the cortisol-belly and perimenopause grift being sold to women online, because you can absolutely still lose fat in perimenopause — it just changes your margin for error.

Check out Marek Health at - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast On today's episode I sit down with Rihanna, a health coach at Marek Health, to break down why your "normal" bloodwork might be the exact reason you still feel like garbage. We get into the markers most doctors never run — low ferritin quietly killing women's energy and weight loss, low DHEA leaving you wired but tired, and ApoB as a way better heart-risk read than the cholesterol number that looks "fine." If you're doing everything right and still feel off, this one explains why it's probably chemical and physiological, not you being lazy.

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to answer every protein question you've actually got — how much you really need (it's less than you think), whether timing matters, and why the type of protein you're buying might be the reason you're bloated and stuck. I break down why you can't out-protein a calorie surplus, and why chasing 170 grams a day is probably stealing flexibility from your diet for nothing. If you've been white-knuckling your protein goal and wondering why it's still not working, start here. 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 Check out Marek Health at - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: - https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Leanne, a client of ours who's down about 40 pounds, and her coach Jamie to talk about the stuff people don't usually admit — she went on Ozempic, changed zero habits, lost 20, and gained it right back the second her insurance cut her off. We get into why she had to let the "party girl" identity die to actually change, how cutting alcohol for eight weeks flipped her whole relationship with progress, and why the quick fix keeps failing you. If you've lost the weight before and watched it creep back on, this is the one to listen to. 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 Check out Marek Health at https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I answer five fat loss questions from you guys, starting with why your belly fat is always the last thing to go — and why that has way more to do with blood flow and what you're eating than it does with ab workouts. Sophie and I get into zone 2 cardio and why burning fat for energy isn't the same thing as losing fat off your body, the three things that let you keep lifting heavy in a deficit without losing muscle, and why I want you to stop tracking the calories your watch says you burned. We also talk honestly about what to do when tracking brings up old eating habits, and Sophie gets real about where she's still working on it herself. 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 Check out Marek Health at https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitness Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast
