In a fat loss phase, most people assume they’re going to feel weaker—so they stop pushing their training altogether. In this episode, Coach Charlotte breaks down why that mindset can actually work against your results. When you’re dieting, your body needs a clear reason to hold on to muscle, and that comes from continuing to train with intent and effort.
She explains how avoiding intensity and staying too far from failure can lead to more muscle loss, not less. Because in a fat loss phase, your goal isn’t just to lose weight—it’s to give your body a reason to keep the muscle you’ve worked for.
As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Be sure to like and subscribe and leave us a review if you loved this episode!
