Show Notes
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!
