What is up, everyone? Welcome back to the Fitness Stuff for Normal People podcast. I'm Mariana,

here in the flesh with Tony. It's no secret the fitness industry sucks, period. Whether it's

the corrupt, multi-billion dollar supplement in weight loss industry or the endless supply of

influencers promoting anything to drive page views. The bottom line is we're not trying to provide

just another fitness podcast, but

completely change the fitness industry for the better by providing you with the knowledge and

tools to give you confidence in applying the best possible training and nutrition into your

own life. I'm pretty excited about this one today. We are going to be discussing how to navigate

a calorie deficit in real life.

Because here's the thing. The idea is simple. Execution, not so much. Life happens,

and sometimes there's a lot of hurdles, and if you don't have a backup plan, you're not expecting it. It can make it a lot harder to stick to.

More specifically, we're going to be chatting about the five biggest and most common obstacles that you will encounter at least once on your

weight loss journey and how to overcome them. But first, as always, you haven't already

leave us a five-star review on whatever platform you are listening on. We really appreciate it. It helps us reach even more people, which that's the goal at the end of the day. Reach as many people as possible. If you're listening on Spotify, you can also give us a little follow. We now see that, which is pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah, we're almost at 10K. So we really appreciate it and it will just allow us to continue, and maybe I can get out to more.

We're coming out today in the Allo Studio in Los Angeles with our friend, Georgio, nice enough to hook it up.

Now, quick note, too, if you really like the research aspect we bring into every single episode,

make sure you join us on our premium side with the membership in the Fitness Stuff Research Review, where we drop weekly episodes, diving deeper into specific studies addressing individual nuances and showing you how to apply each aspect into your own individual life. We've been seeing a lot of you guys share the presentations on social media as well, which we freaking love because we put together an actual presentation with the research review to actually give you guys the visuals and everything that goes along with that.

We've got that sick deal that we're just going to continue rolling with it, where your first month is always half off if you just want to dip your toes in, try it out.

So it's just five bucks and you get

that fitness stuff research review deals with awesome companies like Merrick Health to get blood

testing done, examine plus and so much more, along with our monthly AMA or Ask Me Anything

episodes. So if you're over there, we'll see you on Friday. If not, that's what it's about. Quick word from our sponsor. Before we jump into it, Legion Athletics, our favorite of all time. We've been working, we were what, 50 some episodes in, and we've been working with them since number one. Since the beginning, yeah. Since the beginning. And it makes sense because we wanted to build a long lasting partnership partnership with people whose values match our own.
