The last 10lbs can be harder to shift. Here’s why:

• Smaller body = lower calorie needs → deficit shrinks
• Metabolic adaptation → body burns fewer calories than expected
• NEAT drops → less movement without realising (−200–400 kcal/day)
• Hormones shift → ↓ leptin, ↑ hunger, ↓ thyroid/testosterone
• Closer to set point → stronger resistance to fat loss

Follow the steps in this episode if you would like to shift it!
