Show Notes

In this episode, I’m joined by fitness coach Daniel Yores—just weeks after his wedding—to chat about nutrition, training, and the mindset needed for fat loss. We dive into how Daniel prepped for his big day, how things are changing now that he's married, and why most people wait too long to start their fitness journey.

You’ll also learn:
✅ What aggressive fat loss phases are and when they’re appropriate
✅ The #1 mistake people make during and after a diet
✅ Whether steps and cardio are essential
✅ What to do if you’re starting your journey morbidly obese
✅ And why having a plan after your calorie deficit is essential for long-term success

If you're stuck in start-stop cycles or unsure whether an aggressive fat loss phase is right for you, this is a must-listen.
