In today's episode, we’re answering more listener questions! We tackle your biggest questions about plant-based protein, pre-workout fueling, and easy, realistic lunches that don’t involve planning every last bite. Whether you're a vegetarian trying to build muscle or someone wondering if you HAVE TO eat before exercise, this conversation is full of judgment-free, real-life strategies.
Whether you’re early in your fat loss journey or deep into the trenches, this episode is a must-listen. As always, the conversation covers more than just macros - it dives into the mindset shifts that create sustainable change. No guilt. No shame. Just real talk about what your body is trying to tell you.
"You were in maintenance… but with a deficit mindset. That’s a whole different ballgame.”
- Amy Rudolph
“Fasting is fine physiologically. It's just a way to control calories like anything else.
What it can do to the mental side is where it really screws people up.”
- Iris Deadlifts
“If your partner is complaining that you never want to have sex anymore, that might be a clue that you’ve been dieting too long.”
- Meri
