Season 13 - Answering MORE of your questions

What happens when you hand us a pile of your questions and say, “Go for it”?

In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we’re back with another no-notes, no-BS Q&A – answering questions from YouTube, Spotify, our Facebook group and email.

We dig into things like:


Body composition scales – useful tool or just another way to obsess over numbers?


Whether you should train when you’re exhausted or skip the workout and rest.


Our take on fat burners, creatine and other “helpful” supplements – what’s worth it and what’s marketing.


How to handle snacking between meals when the urge hits hard.


What to do when your gym only lets you increase weights in big jumps.


Night shift survival: managing sleep debt, junk food at work and zombie-day cravings.


Plant-based eating, metabolism myths, and what actually speeds things up (or slows them down).


How to structure weights and cardio across a week so your body can recover.


Quitting smoking during a weight loss journey without derailing your progress.


The mental side: breaking the stop–start cycle and dealing with that point months in where your head is screaming, “You’re going backwards.”


If you’ve ever wished you could just throw your real-life questions at someone who actually gets it, this one’s for you. 🎧


Been listening for a while and want the full picture?

We made a comprehensive training that walks through the four biggest reasons people stay stuck in the weight loss cycle and what to do instead to make sure you are moving in the right direction consistently.
