Does eating late at night actually make you gain fat? Do carbs before a workout help performance? Should you avoid insulin spikes? And does training fasted really burn more fat?

    475 - 5 Things Successful Dieters Do (That Most People Don’t)

    Spring Reset Begins 3/30 - Free Month of 1:1 Support: https://www.digitalbarbell.com/spring-reset Most people can lose weight. Keeping it off is where things fall apart. You’ve probably experienced it yourself—lose 10, 20, even 30 pounds… and somehow end up right back where you started a few months later. It's not a motivation problem. It’s not a willpower problem. It’s a strategy and support problem. In this episode, we break down what actually separates people who keep the weight off from those who keep starting over—using insights from the National Weight Control Registry (10,000+ people who have lost an average of 66 lbs and kept it off for 5+ years), along with what we see every day coaching busy adults. We cover: Why exercise matters more after weight loss than during it How simplifying your meals makes consistency easier The role of tracking (and why it’s not obsessive) The biggest mistake people make after slipping up Why your identity matters more than your meal plan If you feel like you’re doing a lot of things right but not seeing lasting results, this will help you pinpoint what’s missing. And if you’re tired of starting over every Monday, this will show you what actually works long-term. If you want help applying this in a way that fits your real life (not a perfect one), apply for coaching below. www.digitalbarbell.com/contact-us
