298: Why Your Fat Loss Phase Feels Harder Than You Expected
Monday, 24 August, 2026
OVERVIEW: If you have ever entered a fat loss phase feeling motivated, only to realize a few weeks in that it feels harder than you expected, this episode is for you. In this short solo episode, Ashley breaks down what women should realistically expect during a Results Phase and why normal parts of fat loss can sometimes make you think your plan is not working. She's talking about hunger, social events, family and friend pressure, scale fluctuations, and why expectation management matters so much when your goal is fat loss. This episode covers: Why some hunger can be normal in a calorie deficit How your maintenance calories and the size of your deficit can impact how you feel Why social events may require more planning during a fat loss phase How to handle pressure from friends and family without feeling like you have to explain your goals Why the scale may not move right away, even when you are doing everything correctly Why fat loss is not linear and how to look at trends instead of individual weigh ins How unrealistic expectations can cause you to give up on a plan that may actually be working Why your Results Phase should never turn into another crash diet Most importantly, I want you to remember that feeling challenged during a fat loss phase does not automatically mean something is wrong. The goal is not to lose weight as fast as possible. The goal is to lose body fat in a way that supports your muscle mass, metabolism, health, and ability to maintain your results long term. If you are currently in a fat loss phase, or thinking about starting one, this episode will help you go into it with a much clearer understanding of what to expect.
