Summary

In this episode, Chase and Chris dive into questions from their listeners and talk about what’s been on their minds. They start off by rating their personal relationships with the scale and how something as small as changing your dinner time can cause huge changes on the scale – even if you didn’t lose any body fat!

They also talk about how people treat fat loss like a seasonal thing – being "all in" at certain times of the year, then falling off during vacations, holidays, and summer fun. This leads to people feeling like they’re dieting all year without seeing real results. The guys break down how that happens and what to do instead.

Next, they answer questions from listeners. They talk about how someone with muscle-wasting issues can begin to build strength again without doing too much too fast. They also share their honest thoughts about the carnivore diet (spoiler: they’re not fans) and end with a fun question about what clients say or don’t say that makes coaching easier or harder.

Whether you’re frustrated with the scale, struggling with consistency, or just wondering what your coach really wants to hear from you—this episode covers a lot.
