Fat Loss Facts, Full-Body vs Splits & Weird Food Combos – Q&A Edition

The Leo Alves Podcast

In this Q&A episode, I break down common fat loss and training myths—like whether you really need to lift heavy to “tone up” and whether pre-workouts are worth the hype. I also answer questions about full-body vs. split workouts, recovering well, and how to feel more confident in the gym.

Here’s what else I speak about:
✅ What matters more for fat loss—diet or movement?
✅ Is eating the same meals every day okay?
✅ Bare minimum fitness strategy for people with busy jobs
✅ How to spot the difference between a plateau and just needing patience
✅ How I’d help someone intimidated by the gym environment
