ERF 1,028: How to Eat, Train and Recover Like an Athlete

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

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down how protein got rebranded and how food companies started jamming protein powder into cookies, chips, and ice cream so they could charge you double for candy in a gym costume. I walk through the three ingredients in these snacks that could be wrecking your gut — sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners, and emulsifiers — and what your gut microbiome actually controls, which is way more than bathroom trips. Then I give you five real food fixes you can start Monday morning to kill the bloat and actually get something out of the protein you're already eating. 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 break down what it actually looks like to eat, train, and recover like an athlete — and why most people wildly underestimate the recovery side of it. Sophie and I get into the boring stuff that actually works: routine, consistency, eating the same things at the same times, and treating your training like it matters even on the days you don't feel like it. Then we get into the athlete mindset — every day is day one, life is a competition, do whatever it takes — and why that applies whether or not you'll ever play a sport. 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

Check out Marek Health at https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcast On today's episode I break down peptides — what they actually are, who they're for, who they're not for, and whether they're even safe. I explain the whole thing in plain English, from why your body already makes its own version of Ozempic to the reason a peptide you took for bigger glutes can quietly mess with your blood pressure and heart rate. And I'm straight with you about the part nobody selling this stuff wants to admit: none of it works without your food, sleep, and training locked in first, and you've got no business injecting anything until you've done real blood work with an actual doctor. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program- https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.html Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.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

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I had Sophie run a 1400-calorie meal plan through ChatGPT, and I picked it apart. We get into why AI hands you "healthy" foods you'll never actually eat, why a plan that ignores your real life falls apart the second your week goes sideways, and the one thing AI just doesn't have that a real coach does — experience. If you've ever followed a plan that looked perfect and still couldn't stick to it, that's not a willpower thing, and I'll tell you what's really going on. 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 go through everything I've learned in 14 years of lifting and coaching 25,000 people about why the muscle-building "rules" you've been following are quietly wrecking your progress. I break down why skipping cardio is costing you gains, why training three to four days beats five to seven, how much protein you actually need (less than the gram-per-pound everyone preaches), and why cutting carbs kills your results instead of speeding them up. And if you're on a GLP-1 like Ozempic, I get into the one non-negotiable you have to do or you'll lose muscle and bone density right alongside the fat Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.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 had ChatGPT write me a leg day, graded it a 5 out of 10, and walked through the nine changes I'd make to turn it into a 10. I break down what AI gets half-right — the checkbox warm-up, hammering your quads while your glutes and hamstrings get ignored, slapping the same 3x10 on every exercise, resting too short, and zero core work — and why a half-right workout only gets you half the results. Then I rebuild the whole thing into a specific 45-minute leg day you can steal and start using today.

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 why accountability might be the one thing standing between you and the goal you've been chasing for years. I get into why independent, type-A people treat asking for help like a weakness — when the real weakness is letting your ego keep you stuck — and why you're making a commitment either way, whether you decide to change or stay exactly where you are. If you've been trying to figure it out on your own and you're tired of spinning, 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

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks  - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I break down the three mistakes that are quietly wrecking your workouts — starting with the warmup everyone thinks is helping them but is actually draining their strength before they even touch a weight. I get into why most of your reps in a set don't build any muscle at all, and the exact part of the set that does. I also walk through why your workout split might be capping your results without you realizing it, using two client transformations — Kylie and Dan — to show what changes when you fix it. 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 break down the real reasons people over 30 stop losing fat, and it's not your metabolism. I get into decision fatigue, why stress builds up like water behind a dam until it breaks in the kitchen at 9pm, and why your brain treats fat loss as the worst deal it's ever been offered. I share what actually fixed it for clients like Michael and Kylie, and the simple daily habit shift that gets your brain working with you instead of against you.
