Back to School Challenge – https://ericrobertsfitness.com/back-to-school-challenge.html

On today’s episode I sit down with Sophie to break down the hybrid training myths quietly wrecking your progress — starting with the big one, that cardio kills your gains. I get into why it’s really about recovery and not cardio, how you can end up losing muscle in an accidental deficit without even knowing it, and why at 245 pounds I’m still running sub-7-minute miles. If you’re trying to get stronger and improve your cardio at the same time, this one shows you how to actually pull off both.

On today’s episode I break down what alcohol actually does to your body when you’re trying to lose fat — and why it’s usually not the alcohol stopping your progress, it’s everything that comes with it. I give you my five rules for drinking and still losing fat, from making the trade with your calories earlier in the day to only picking one of three between a drink, an appetizer, or dessert. If one Saturday keeps undoing your whole week, this is the episode that fixes it.

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.

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.

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.

ERF 1,035: How To Know If You’re Actually In A Plateau, Why 1,200 Calories Backfires, Does The Fat-Burning Zone Matter — Live Q&A

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.

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.

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.

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.
