If you’ve ever tried to lose weight and felt like nothing is working, or like you’re constantly fighting hunger, cravings, and confusion around what you “should” be doing… this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down some of the most common fat loss questions we hear every day at Straight Shot Training, and getting into what actually matters versus what people overcomplicate.

Because fat loss isn’t just about working harder. It’s about understanding what’s actually going on and having a plan you can stick to.

We'll tackle your questions including:

1. Should I track calories or only eat when I’m hungry?
2. What if I'm hungry all the time when dieting?
3. What if I’m not a Psychopath and can’t eat the same thing everyday?
4. I heard pickles are healthy on a diet? What about the sodium?
5. Is peanut butter a complete food?
6. Can I eat chocolate and still lose fat as long as I’m in a deficit?
7. How does a postmenopausal woman lose weight and body fat?
8. Dealing with fat after you turn 60

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you’re constantly starting over, this episode will help you start looking at fat loss in a way that actually makes sense.

"Train Away Your Pain"

Could resting and icing your injury actually PROLONG your symptoms???

Doctor Matt Silver from Alpha Project Phyzio joins me to talk about the new school style of physical therapy, why resting and icing an injury ISN’T the best way to heal it, and how you can learn from him at his upcoming workshop at Straight Shot Training on Saturday, January 8th at 9am.

Dr. Matt is also the host of the Health and Fitness Frederick podcast if you’d like to check his show out as well!

This week on the show we’ve got holiday nutrition, keto vs. macro tracking, multiple workouts a day, the pump after working out, and training for power.

Thanks to everyone from Instagram for submitting their questions!

Whether it's the holidays, a vacation, an injury, or a nasty stomach bug that causes you to lose 5lb in 2 days...things don't always go as planned. But it's how we get back to things and stay consistent where we can that allows us to make progress over a longer timeline. 

I share a recent personal experience in this episode plus give you details on an upcoming knee pain workshop AND unveil the 28 Day Free Coaching Challenge that launches in January!

Coach John and I answer a question we’ve gotten from a lot of people when they see how we eat and train:

“How do you choose to do difficult things?”

Is it a personality trait? A series of decisions? A product of our training itself? Find out in under 20min with this episode!

December is this strange middle ground between thanksgiving and the end of the year when your schedule is different, your sleeping is off, your eating is all over the place with parties and traveling, and - oh yeah let’s try to find a time to workout in the middle of all of that too. 

In this episode, I want to help you find a way to stay a little more on track throughout December with your diet and workouts AND give you some ideas on how to set yourself up better to take on your 2022 fitness goals (that you can absolutely start on now!)

We’re going to let you know what to expect during your first personal training session! We’ll also give you some tips on how you can be prepared for your session AND how to make the most of your recovery afterwards.
