Still stuck in that “skinny fat” look? Not overweight, but definitely not lean or athletic either? Here’s why: 1. You’re training, but not lifting heavy. Running’s great, but without resistance training, you’re not building lean mass—which is what shapes your body and burns fat 24/7. Get strong. 2. Your diet is low in protein. You’re eating “healthy” but not eating smart. You need at least 2g of protein per kg of bodyweight to fuel muscle growth and recovery. 3. You’re doing too much cardio. You think more running = more fat loss. But without weights, all you’re doing is burning muscle and staying soft. 4. You’re not tracking calories or macros. You’re “eating clean,” but your portions are off. You need structure. Start tracking your food for a week—you’ll be shocked. 5. You avoid carbs. Carbs aren’t the enemy. They fuel performance, help with recovery, and allow you to actually train hard enough to build a better body. 6. You’re inconsistent. Training twice a week, eating good for 3 days, then blowing out every weekend? That’s why you’re stuck. Consistency > perfection. The skinny fat phase is frustrating—but it’s fixable. Dial in your training, eat enough, lift heavy, and stay consistent. I help people break out of this exact phase and get into the best shape of their life. Link in bio for coaching.
