Description

Welcome to the Real Life Weight Loss Podcast where we cut through the confusion and get down to the truth - down to what really works for REAL people when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. We're diving into the most doable, sustainable weight loss strategies.

This podcast is all about busy moms, dads, husbands, wives who are working, raising kids, and trying to juggle everything life’s throwing at them … but also want to be the best they can for their family and friends and loved ones.

I’m your host Corey Little, a nutritionist and weight loss specialist with 2 degrees, 3 certifications, and 20 years of experience. I've been a champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat and I’ve also pigged out at all-you-can-eat buffets and have a deep love of food and enjoying life like crazy! So, I’m not some Nutrition Robot or extremist. I’m a real person just like you who loves the good things in life - friends, family, and all the delicious food that comes with it.

So, make no mistake - this podcast is NOT about how to get six-pack abs or how to drop as much weight as possible in 8 weeks. There’s more to life than abs and there’s more to your body than how much you weigh.

Honestly, weight loss is not really about losing weight … it’s about gaining life! Doing things you never thought you could. Having renewed confidence. And enjoying your body and your health more than ever.

Week by week, I’ll provide bite-sized guidance - 15 to 20 minute episodes that pull back the curtain and reveal the truth about what it takes to lose weight and gain life - what strategy and approach real people are using to get results without giving up their day-to-day life.

And here’s the really cool part …

It’s really not as hard or confusing as you might think.

Changing your body, getting crazy healthy, and demanding success from life is do-able for everyone - and it can be fun - and I’ll show you how.

There’s something I say nearly every episode. I say it because I believe it. But the other day, I was listening to a different podcast and someone said - “I know greatness is coming your way!” At first, I really appreciated that. He’s really supporting and encouraging people. Heck yeah, I love that!  But then I thought about it a bit more … and it bothered me. It bothered me because he doesn’t know what’s coming your way. He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know you. He doesn’t know what life’s going to bring us. And then I thought  about what I say nearly every episode. Am I doing the same thing? Am I just offering empty, hyped up motivation? Am I lying to you?? After thinking through things, I don’t believe so.  And I want to explain why right here and right now. JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.com
Losing weight may seem really complex and difficult for you. While it may seem much simpler for someone else. And guess what? Both of you are right. It is simple and complex all at the same time. Here’s the crazy part - both you and the other person may unknowingly insult each other in regards to losing weight and food choices! This episode centers around an interesting experience shared by a client, who expressed envy towards a friend's seemingly effortless ability to manage their weight. The friend's response wasn’t inherently hurtful, but rubbed my client wrong. This interaction serves as a springboard for a broader discussion on two significant insights regarding personal development: the dangers of making assumptions about others' experiences and the recognition that multiple truths (that might seem contradictory) can actually coexist. Today’s episode might make you mad. It might make you smile. But it will definitely make you think!JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
10 Things To NOT Do

10 Things To NOT Do

2025-12-0222:23

We’ve all made “to do” lists.  Unfortunately, not many people have ever created a “don’t do” list. That’s exactly what today’s episode is all about. I’m sharing a list of things to NOT do. It’s a list of things that will make sure you stay overweight, unhealthy, and just overall miserable w/ your body and life.  So, obviously you want to avoid these at all costs! We’ll cover all sorts of stuff like . . . Fear of failureWhen to quit and not quitYour relationship with yourself Victim mentalityAnd where you spend most of your energyIt may sound odd, but if you’ll give my list a chance, I think you’ll find it helpful, possibly eye-opening, and maybe even kind of fun.Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
Life is all about choices. Anne Frank wrote - "Our lives are fashioned by our choices. First we make our choices. Then our choices make us."Zig Ziglar said - "Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."Les Brown said - “Remember, you have the power to change your life by changing your choices."Choices are powerful. And there’s one choice that’s more powerful than the rest. In today’s episode, I’m explaining one choice that can literally change everything for you. It’s really as much of a mindset shift as it is a simple choice. Once you begin to think differently and see certain choices differently, you’ll start to make different choices. And those new choices will lead to new results. It might seem hard or feel scary, but it will be more than worth it. Crank up the volume, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s do it! JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comContact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
It might be time to really think about what you’ve typically done in the past and what you want for your future. There’s a famous quote that says - "Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten years"After 20+ years of coaching people, I've developed my own version of this quote . . .  "We overestimate what we can do in a month and vastly underestimate what we can do in a year." We live in a super fast world. Unfortunately that’s led to most of us being pretty impatient.When you're living in a body that doesn't FEEL good ...Or your body doesn't LOOK how you want ... Or your health is suffering ... Then we’re really not patient!  We want to fix it now! Give me a 4 week program to knock this out.   I get it. I'm not necessarily a shining example of patience myself. However, when it comes to losing weight, keeping it off, and creating the life and health you really want … that takes longer than one month.In today’s episode, we’re talking about true weight loss transformation - what it looks like, sounds like, and a realistic timeline. JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comContact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

And it’s one of the biggest things I teach people and help them overcome in my coaching group. If you feel like you’re obsessively thinking about your body and food… If you’re constantly mentally spinning on losing weight … If you struggle to keep weight off … If you just feel mentally exhausted … Then this episode is for you. We’ll explore . . . The finish line mentality4 phases of your weight loss journeyAll or nothing thinkingSome real life stories that help bring it all together. JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

There’s one thing that no weight loss program can do for you. There’s one thing that even the best diet can’t fix. You can have the best trainer or best approach or best intentions, but without this … you’re not getting any results. What is this one thing? Showing up for yourself. Taking action. Sticking with it. Not quitting. Today’s episode is all about why. Why do we fall off the wagon? From my 20 years of experience, I'll reveal the top 5 reasons we fall off the diet wagon. There are reasons we give that seem totally legitimate. And then there are the real reasons. I’ll explain both and help you see your patterns more clearly.

If you’re going to lose weight, keep it off, and truly transform your life, there are certain things that you’ll need. I believe there are 4 things that will make the process easier, more fun, and more likely to succeed. Interestingly, it took a wedding to teach me these 4 things. Some of my closest friends did a 100% DIY wedding for their daughter. It turned out absolutely beautiful! I helped them prepare for the wedding and then served food on the actual special day. Looking back, I realized there were 4 things that made the magic happen. And these 4 things are true for pretty much any significant endeavor or challenge in life. Consider this 4 tips to help you transform your body and life. In this episode, we’ll cover . . . The importance of vision and a planThe unbelievable benefits of getting help and not going it aloneThe truth of what it takes to do something worth doingPlus a special message that just might totally change how you think about and view yourselfJOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” We must all be insane, because this is exactly what we do. When it comes to losing weight, I see people keep trying the same crap over and over even though it’s never worked for them before.This episode was inspired by one of my clients who noticed a certain pattern of thinking that goes like this . . . “I should just go ahead and finish this ‘bad food’ so I don’t eat it later.” “Might as well finish all of this, then it will be gone and I won’t be tempted.”That’s just one example of the stuff that doesn’t work (and honestly doesn’t even make sense), but we just keep doing it … hoping for a different outcome. I guarantee this episode will either make you nod, make you mad, or make you rethink things! JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

There are two pretty well known models for personal development. Essentially, there are two methods for pursuing the goals you have in life, including any health or weight loss goal you can imagine. One is commonly used without us even realizing it. Unfortunately, this method often isn’t the most effective. The other method requires a mindset shift, but can be much more powerful at producing results.Today we’re discussing both! Have - Do - Be … and … Be - Do - Have.I’ll help you figure out which one you’ve been using, plus how to make the shift and take your power back! JOIN COREY’s EMAIL FAMILY: https://LoseFatList.comWant to know how coaching works?Contact Corey: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

The podcast clearly distinguishes itself from extreme dieting and fitness-focused goals, such as achieving six-pack abs or rapid weight loss. This sets realistic expectations and appeals to listeners seeking sustainable, balanced strategies. To further solidify this differentiation, it might help to explicitly address common misconceptions about weight loss (e.g., fad diets or overexercising) and how the podcast offers an alternative perspective. https://slimberines.com/

The introduction strikes a highly engaging and relatable tone, effectively targeting a broad audience of busy individuals juggling multiple responsibilities. By emphasizing the host's personal experiences with food and fitness, the podcast establishes credibility and relatability. However, the narrative could be strengthened by briefly sharing a specific success story or a unique moment from Corey’s career to make the introduction even more compelling and memorable. baobab-bliss
