Hustle Harder: The 6-Week EPIC Weight Loss Challenge is Closing! 📉 Belfast’s ultimate way to shift weight and find your fire
How much weight do we actually gain?
There is a big difference between what the scales say on January 2nd and actual fat gain.
- The “Scare” Number: Many people claim to gain 5–7 lbs over Christmas.
- The Reality: Research (including studies by the British Dietetic Association) shows the average person gains about 1–2 lbs (0.5–1kg) of actual body fat.
- The Scale Spike: If your scales say you are 5 lbs heavier, don’t panic! Most of that is water retention. Festive foods are high in salt and carbs; for every gram of carbohydrate (glycogen) your body stores, it holds onto about 3 grams of water.
- The Real Danger: While 1–2 lbs sounds small, studies show that most people never lose it. This “creeping weight” adds up to half a stone or more over a few years, which is why a 6-week “kickstart” is so effective for stopping the trend.
4 Reasons to Shift it Now (The “Why”)
1. Reclaim Your Energy Levels
The “festive fog” is real. A diet high in sugar and processed snacks leads to blood sugar spikes and crashes. Starting the EPIC Challenge helps stabilize your insulin levels, clearing the brain fog and giving you the energy to actually enjoy January rather than just “surviving” it.
2. Beat the “New Year Slump”
Motivation is highest in the first two weeks of January. By joining Hustle Fitness now, you are taking advantage of that natural mental drive. If you wait until February, the “dark mornings” make it much harder to start from scratch.
3. Improve Sleep Quality
Alcohol and heavy late-night meals wreak havoc on your REM sleep. Getting back into a training routine and a structured nutrition plan improves sleep depth, which in turn helps regulate your hunger hormones (ghrelin and leptin), making it easier to stay on track.
4. Mental Health & Confidence
The “Crimbo bloat” often leads to hiding under baggy clothes and feeling sluggish. Physical activity releases endorphins that combat the “January Blues.” Seeing progress in just the first 14 days of a challenge provides a massive confidence boost that ripples into your work and social life.

“Did you know the average person gains 1–2lbs of fat over Christmas, but the scales often show 5lbs+? 🤯
Most of that is just water and ‘festive fuel’ sitting in your system. The problem? Most people never actually lose that 2lbs, and year after year, it adds up.
Don’t let the ‘Christmas Creep’ happen to you. Our 6-Week EPIC Challenge at Hustle Fitness Belfast is designed to flush the bloat, ignite your metabolism, and shift that weight for good.
