Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. I'm laughing a little bit because

0:08.0

it did a huge countdown for me at the start of there. Five, four, three, two, and then obviously

0:14.8

to one. Anyway, I have many, many questions to answer and still catch up with my incredible Q&A questions from

0:23.7

the Commit Six groups. I'm going to get through as many of those as possible. In the next 30

0:28.1

minutes, you will leave knowing much more than when you started, I hope. Okay, so question one.

0:35.6

Once you hit your target weight or weight you like the look of, can the

0:50.1

1:27.9

diet, you might be adding on like two to 500 calories on average over the week. So it's not going to be like

1:36.7

this huge change in your diet. And this is where a lot of people go wrong when they move from

1:40.7

fat loss maintenance is they think that it's a completely different thing.

1:45.3

And I've told this story before probably numerous times,

1:48.0

but I did, I think the last like proper fat loss phase I did was

1:52.3

after I had back surgeries,

1:54.5

I put on a lot of weight when I hurt my back.
