If you’re still trying to lose fat by jogging every day, this episode is going to change the game for you.

I’m breaking down exactly why traditional cardio isn’t the move if your goal is fat loss—and what you should be doing instead.

Here’s what I cover:

  • Why cardio burns way fewer calories than you think

  • How it spikes your hunger and slows your metabolism

  • Why HIIT isn’t the fat-loss hack you’ve been told it is

  • The exact cardio routine I’m using to get lean right now

  • How to find your maintenance calories and create a smart deficit

  • How to lose fat without burning out or losing muscle

  • You don’t need to kill yourself with 6 days of cardio. You need a better plan.
