ERF Q&A 013: Are You At A Fat Loss Plateau?

The number one thing I hear is people telling me their fat loss has stalled.

Then I asked them for how long.. 4 days, 8 days, 2 weeks.

That isn’t a fat loss plateau, that is you being impatient. 

Well then you tell me but Eric I have been tracking my calories perfectly, why am I not losing!

You track calories.. but do you really?

Do track the weekends?

Do you really weigh out your food?

Do you track the nibbles here and there throughout the day?

The plates you finish for your kids or the food you graze on while making their lunches?

Tracking calories is a great tool, but you have to actually track calories.

Do you have to track calories for the rest of your life?

No.

But after you track calories legit for 30, 60, 90 days, you will get a good grasp of what 4oz of chicken looks like.

So you will have gained the skill to not have to track calories, and still see results or sustain the results you already have.

And you will probably realize, man I wasn’t actually eating the calories I thought it was, so maybe I am not at a fat loss plateau…

Give it some thought. -E.
