In this episode, I break down why fat loss often feels inconsistent—and why the real issue usually isn’t the plan, but your level of adherence to it. I explain the different levels of dietary adherence, how to identify intentional vs unintentional deviations, and why not everyone needs to be “perfect” to make progress. We also cover how to match your expectations to your execution, avoid burnout from unnecessary rigidity, and build a sustainable fat loss approach that actually works long term.
