Description

Think you can burn fat just by training harder or doing more cardio? Think again. In this episode, we break down the Constrained Energy Model — a game-changing theory backed by evolutionary biology — and explain the so-called Pontzer Paradox: why your body fights back when you try to out-train a bad diet.

You'll learn:

• Why total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) doesn’t keep increasing with more exercise
• How your metabolism compensates and limits fat loss
• Why cardio-only approaches often fail long-term
• What actually works: smart strength training, recovery, and protein-first nutrition
• Real-life client examples of fat loss breakthroughs

Whether you’re a busy professional or gym-goer stuck in a plateau, this episode will shift your mindset and give you a clear path to sustainable results.
