Fat Loss Q&A: Your Biggest Questions Answered | EP 480

In this episode of The Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer fat loss questions from listeners. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

The questions on the show:

1. I’ve been in a calorie deficit for months, but my weight won’t budge. What am I doing wrong?

2. Do you recommend a specific macro split for fat loss, or is it just about protein and calories? For example, I love carbs. Can I still eat a lot of them and lose fat?

3. How do you feel about cheat meals during a cut? Do they actually help, or just slow down fat loss?

4. Hey Kyle, how do you stay consistent with fat loss when life gets crazy with work, kids, social events, etc.?

5. What do you guys think is the biggest mistake bodybuilders make when trying to get stage-lean?

6. I know there are no real health benefits to alcohol, but how bad is it for fat loss? Can I still have a few drinks and make progress?

7. Do you ever recommend aggressive mini-cuts or is a slower approach always better?

8. If a powerlifter wants to move down a weight class, how long should they take to do it without wrecking their total?
