How long does it actually take to get lean? And what happens when your fat loss isn't progressing at the rate you expected?
In this episode of Beyond Fat Loss, Sean is in the hot seat as Katie grills him on his latest aggressive fat loss phase — including the mistake he made right at the start.
Sean explains how he planned his diet around a specific goal, why he initially underestimated how much body fat he was carrying, and how relying too heavily on a calculation meant his calorie deficit was much smaller than he intended.
We also get into:
• How long you should realistically allow for fat loss before a holiday or event
• Why you shouldn't leave yourself with too much to do in too little time
• How fat loss tends to slow as you get leaner
• When protecting muscle becomes increasingly important
• Why body-fat percentage isn't necessarily the useful goal you think it is
• The problems with relying too heavily on scales, calculators and body-fat measurements
• What Sean did when he realised his original plan wasn't working
• Why a mistake doesn't mean you've failed — and how to correct course
• Why having an exit strategy after fat loss is just as important as the diet itself
• What Sean would do differently next time
Plus, we talk about why coaches still need coaches, why practical experience matters alongside data, and how having a clear plan can stop you from panicking when things don't go exactly to plan.
If you're trying to get leaner for a holiday, event or just to take your physique to the next level, this is one you don't want to miss.
