Why Losing the Last 10 Pounds is So Damn Hard

Let’s be honest—losing the last 10 pounds is what everyone actually wants.

It’s what separates you from looking “good” to looking movie-star shredded.

But this is where most people get stuck.

The first 10 pounds? Easy.

Going from 30% body fat to 20%? Manageable.

But cutting the last 10 pounds is a completely different game.

Why the Last 10 Pounds Are So Much Harder

The last 10 pounds are difficult because you’re cutting below your body’s natural set point.

Here’s why:

Leptin Levels Drop → Hunger & Energy Changes

Body fat releases leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite and energy balance.

The leaner you get, the less leptin you have, which means – You feel hungrier

You unconsciously move less.

Your body tries to slow down fat loss.

Your Body is Wired for Survival

When leptin drops, your body thinks you’re in a food shortage.

It ramps up hunger and slows down calorie burn to stretch your energy reserves.

This subtle metabolic adaptation makes it easier to regain weight and harder to lose more fat.

Your Margin for Error Shrinks

When you’re 20-30 lbs overweight, you can drop 1-2 lbs per week easily with a large deficit.

When you’re already lean, your deficit has to be small and precise.

Big drops in calories lead to:

• Muscle loss
• Extreme hunger & cravings
• A miserable cutting experience

So how do you break through this?

How to Finally Cut the Last 10 Pounds (Without Suffering)

To cut through the last 10 pounds, you need to:

• Stay 100% locked on your diet—your deficit needs to be small, but consistent.
• Increase movement (steps & NEAT)—this ensures you’re burning enough calories.
• Keep hunger under control—this is the #1 killer of fat loss at low body fat.

This is exactly why I created Kino Shred.

Here’s how Kino Shred makes cutting the last 10 pounds way easier:

1. Helps Keep Your Metabolism Up (Burn More Calories)

Grains of Paradise – Activates brown fat and increases thermogenesis, so you naturally burn more calories even at rest.

Fucoxanthin – Boosts fat oxidation to counteract any slight metabolic slowdown.

2. Crushes Hunger & Food Cravings

Glucomannan – A prebiotic fiber that expands in your stomach, making you feel full for hours. Stops the endless snacking cycle—when you’re lean and your hunger is ramping up, this helps you stay in control.

3. Increases Energy & Motivation

Caffeine + L-Tyrosine + B Vitamins – Boost dopamine and energy levels, so you stay locked in, focused, and motivated. Cutting the last 10 lbs is a mental game—this keeps you sharp and dialed in instead of sluggish and tired.

Metabolic Adaptation: The Truth vs. The Myth

A lot of people blame “metabolic adaptation” for stalled fat loss, but here’s the truth:

• Your metabolism does not “crash.”
• It only slows down by about 10% at most.
• If you aren’t losing fat, it’s because your deficit isn’t locked in.

Metabolic adaptation is real, but it’s subtle…

Your body is just trying to stretch out its energy reserves.

This means, you feel hungrier and you move slightly less without realizing it

Fat loss slows down unless you stay locked in.

This is where Kino Shred can make losing the last 10 pounds so much more enjoyable.

It helps fight back against these adaptations by.

• Boosting calorie burn
• Keeping hunger under control
• Maximizing energy & motivation

It just makes it an easier hill to climb.

Once You Get Locked In, It’s Easy

The biggest mistake people make when cutting is losing momentum.

When you see results, when fat starts dropping, when you FEEL like it’s working, your motivation skyrockets.

This is where Kino Shred makes the difference—it pushes you into that momentum phase so you can finally cut the last 10 pounds and reveal that insane definition.
