What is going on, guys?

Welcome back to another episode of the Eric Roberts Fitness podcast.

I hope that you are having a great day thus far.

In this episode today, we're going to be talking about why some people lose fat faster than others and

why that's okay. I know you've probably seen people, maybe me, and you're like, oh my God,

why is he losing weight so fast? Why is she losing weight so much faster than me? What am I

doing wrong? Why aren't I seeing that much progress?

And this is a very common frustration amongst a lot of people that we work with and people that I talk to on a daily basis.

And so I'm going to cover all of the real reasons why fat loss speed varies and also why it's not necessarily a competition.

But we'll get to that in the latter part of the podcast today.

So first and foremost, we're just going to dive right into the factors that affect fat loss

speed.

So first and foremost is starting body composition and size.

So typically, people with more weight to lose, all other things equal, people with more weight to lose tend to see a little bit faster initial drops due to they have a higher energy expenditure.

So what does this mean?

When your body weighs more, you are going to have to work more.

And this is a good and a bad thing, obviously, because like your heart has to work more,

which isn't always the best thing, for example. But when your heart has to work more which isn't always the best thing for

example but when your body has to work more it burns more calories and so somebody who is

heavier they are able to eat a little bit more calories while still dropping weight and so think

of this i always say the example of like if you had a heavy

backpack on and you were you were wearing and kind of carrying around this heavy backpack all day
