On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question from one of our amazing listeners about why the last five pounds can feel so much harder to lose.

I break the episode into two simple parts.

First, I explain why the last five pounds are harder for everyone — medication or not. As you lose weight and body fat, the rules of the game change. Your body gets leaner, which creates new challenges when it comes to maintaining a calorie deficit and targeting body fat loss through your training and macros, often requiring different strategies or small adjustments to your plan.

Then, I walk you through exactly how to approach losing that final bit of weight so you can truly tone up and lean out. This helps you change your body fat percentage — instead of doubting your approach or wondering if it's even working.

If you're determined to keep making progress but know your plan needs a refresh for this final push, today's episode will connect the dots so you can work smarter, not harder — and stop spinning your wheels with a plan you're not fully confident in.
