🎙️ Episode 094: Stop Using HIIT for Fat Loss
Thu Feb 05 2026
Everyone tells you to do more cardio…More sweat.More intensity.More burn.
But what if the thing you think is helping you lose fat… is actually keeping you stuck?
In this episode, I break down:
✔️ Why HIIT can backfire for stressed, under-fueled high achievers✔️ How too much intensity can lead to muscle loss and slower metabolism✔️ The real reason former athletes plateau despite working harder✔️ Why building muscle and reducing training stress often leads to faster fat loss✔️ The “right dose” approach to training that actually supports your body
⚠️ This isn’t about saying HIIT is bad.It’s about understanding who it’s right for and why most people chasing fat loss are already doing too much.
If you’ve been:• overtraining• under-fueling• stuck in a plateau• exhausted despite working hard…
This episode might change how you train forever.
