Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Welcome to the TrustHub FAQ! We believe that transparency and clear communication are key to your success. Here you will find answers to the most common questions about our methodology, programs, and the science behind sustainable weight loss.
1. TrustHub Credibility and Methodology
Q: Why doesn’t TrustHub feature named celebrity experts?
A: Our core principle is that evidence, not personality, drives results. We built TrustHub to focus exclusively on verifiable, peer-reviewed scientific data. Our credibility rests on our rigorous TrustHub Methodology, which vets every claim and recommendation against clinical standards, ensuring you get unbiased, gimmick-free advice.
Q: How does TrustHub earn money if your guides are free?
A: TrustHub is primarily funded through the enrollment fees for our structured programs, such as the 12-Week Transformation Program. Additionally, we use carefully selected, transparent affiliate links in some content. Our editorial integrity is protected by our Transparency Policy—affiliate revenue never influences our scientific recommendations.
Q: Where can I find your legal policies?
A: You can find our main legal and operational documents here:
2. Our Programs and Enrollment
Q: What is the primary difference between the free guides and the paid programs?
A: The free guides provide the knowledge (the what and why). The paid programs (like the 12-Week Transformation) provide the structure, accountability, and step-by-step application (the how). They take the evidence and turn it into a concrete, phased plan tailored to your current stats and goals.
Q: Who is the 12-Week Transformation Program for?
A: It is designed for individuals seeking sustainable, long-term fat loss who are willing to commit to an evidence-based approach (nutrition, resistance training, and recovery). It is not a crash diet and is not suitable for those looking for extreme, rapid weight loss.
Q: What if I hit a plateau while on the program?
A: Plateaus are normal. Our program includes specific coaching modules on What to Do When the Scale Stops Moving. We teach you how to audit your habits and make precise, strategic adjustments to overcome adaptation without resorting to unhealthy extreme deficits.
3. Science and Results
Q: Do I have to count calories forever?
A: No. Our programs teach you the skill of precision nutrition planning using metrics like TDEE and BMR. The goal is to move you from strict tracking to intuitive eating, where you can maintain a sensible intake based on your Macronutrients 101 knowledge, eliminating the need for permanent calorie counting.
Q: Does resistance training slow down weight loss?
A: Absolutely not. While it might mask immediate weight loss on the scale due to muscle being denser than fat (leading to Non-Scale Victories), Resistance Training is the most crucial tool for increasing your BMR and ensuring that weight loss is sustainable fat loss, not muscle loss.
Q: How important are rest days and sleep?
A: They are critical. Sleep is essential for hormonal regulation. Chronic lack of sleep elevates the stress hormone cortisol, which directly encourages the body to store fat, particularly visceral fat. Prioritizing rest is a non-negotiable sustainable strategy.
Q: How do I stop emotional eating?
A: Emotional eating is a habit, not a character flaw. Our content on Overcoming Emotional Eating focuses on identifying triggers and building non-food-related coping mechanisms to create a mental pause between the feeling and the automatic response. This is a core part of the mindset integration in our programs.
