Summary

Work With Me 1:1 Coaching - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I share a live recording I did on my TikTok where I took your questions on some of the topics I get asked about most — calorie deficits, whether calorie banking actually works, intermittent fasting, creatine for women, and whether you can actually ruin your metabolism. I also share a story I don't tell that often about the time lifting weights literally saved my life — and why that's the real reason I tell everyone to strength train no matter what. If you've ever talked yourself out of a workout because your nutrition wasn't perfect that day, this one's for you.
