You've heard it your whole life. But is it actually true… especially if you're a busy mum or dad trying to lose fat? In this episode of The Better Body Academy Podcast, we break down one of the most commonly repeated nutrition rules and ask a more useful question: 👉 What actually helps you eat better across the entire day You'll learn: * Where the "breakfast is essential" idea really came from * Why skipping breakfast doesn't ruin your metabolism * When fasting can actually help (and when it backfires) * Why most breakfasts fail fat loss goals * What a real high-protein breakfast should look like * 10 simple, high-protein breakfast options that actually keep you full This isn't about extremes. It's about choosing a strategy that fits real life — work, kids, stress, and all. Whether you prefer to fast or eat breakfast, this episode will help you stop guessing and start making smarter, calmer decisions around food. If you're tired of overcomplicating fat loss and just want something that works, this one's for you. 🎧 Listen in and decide which breakfast strategy is right for you.
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Christmas can be one of the best times of the year… and also the time when progress quietly slips away. In this final episode of the year, I'm joined by the full Better Body Academy coaching team — Troy, Dom, Carly, and Erin — for a raw, honest round-table conversation about how to navigate the festive season without guilt, all-or-nothing thinking, or the "I'll start again in January" trap. We break down what actually matters over Christmas (and what doesn't), why guilt does more damage than a few indulgent meals ever could, and how to stay grounded when routines disappear and social events pile up. This isn't about being perfect. It's about making better decisions more often — even in December. In this episode, we cover: • Why most people sabotage themselves at Christmas without realising • How to enjoy food, alcohol, and social events without blowing momentum • What "staying on track" really means during the festive season • How to reset after a blowout without punishment or panic • The mindset shift that makes January feel easier — not harder • Simple behaviours you can protect now to set up a strong 2026 If you've ever finished the year feeling frustrated, guilty, or behind — this episode will change how you approach Christmas forever. From all of us at Better Body Academy, thank you for being part of the journey this year. Enjoy the holidays, back yourself, and we'll see you stronger in 2026

Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Hidden calories are killing your fat loss progress — and you probably don't even realise it. In this episode, Jase pulls back the curtain on the sneaky calories that slide into your week unnoticed… the drizzles, the tastes, the kids' leftovers, the "healthy" foods that are actually calorie grenades… and why these tiny bites are the real reason the scale won't budge. If you're a busy parent who swears you're "doing everything right," this is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. You'll learn: • Why most parents underestimate calories by 20–40% • How hidden calories add up to 1,000–4,000 extra calories per week • The 8 biggest hidden calorie traps sabotaging your results • The truth about oils, sauces, smoothies, booze, and restaurant meals • Why "healthy eating" isn't the same as "fat-loss eating" • How night-time snacking and kid leftovers quietly add kilos • Simple fixes and easy swaps that make fat loss actually doable • Real client examples that prove just how much this matters No fads. No shame. No overcomplication. Just real talk, real numbers, and real solutions that busy mums and dads can actually stick to. If you want to understand why your progress feels slow — and how to finally get traction — this episode is essential listening. Enjoy the episode, and if it helped you, please give it a quick rating on Apple or Spotify. It means the world. 🙏
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most busy parents aren't stuck because they're lazy — they're stuck because they're running the wrong pattern for the life they're in right now. In this episode, Jase breaks down The 4 Types of Stuck Parents he's coached thousands of mums and dads through… and how to break free from the one that's holding you back. Inside this episode: 👊 The All-or-Nothing Parent Why perfection keeps you restarting every Monday — and how lowering the bar actually gets you better results. 🔥 The Overwhelmed Achiever Successful in every area except your health? Learn why "waiting for things to settle down" is the biggest trap of all. 💛 The Invisible Martyr If everyone else comes first and you come last, this one will hit hard. Self-sacrifice isn't noble — it's draining your energy and happiness. 🍻 The Weekend Hero Good all week, derailed every weekend? You'll discover the simple weekend rules that stop the blowouts and finally create progress. This episode is a wake-up call — but a gentle one. You'll recognise yourself in at least one of these patterns, and once you see it clearly… you can finally change it.
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Let's be honest — most parents stop talking about sex long before they stop missing it. Somewhere between kids, careers, exhaustion, and survival mode, desire fades into the background. The spark that once felt effortless now feels like work. You love your partner, but you don't feel sexy. You're tired, self-conscious, maybe even resentful. The body you once felt proud of doesn't feel like yours anymore… and when you don't feel desirable, it's hard to want to be desired. In this episode, I'm pulling the curtain back on a conversation most people avoid — how transforming your health reignites confidence, connection, and sexual energy. We'll talk about: 🔥 Why stress, exhaustion, and poor body image kill libido long before hormones do 🔥 How losing body fat and building muscle literally changes your chemistry — from blood flow to hormone sensitivity to nervous system control 🔥 The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire (and why you're not broken if you never "feel in the mood" anymore) 🔥 The unique challenges for both men and women — from low testosterone to estrogen chaos, and how fixing your health often fixes your intimacy 🔥 The real reason couples drift apart — and how taking care of your body can help you fall back in love, with yourself and each other This episode isn't about being a "sex god" or chasing some ideal body image. It's about reclaiming the part of you that feels alive. Because when you're strong, healthy, and confident again — you don't just look different. You move different. You show up differently. You flirt again. You feel magnetic. You can't feel sexy in a body you neglect — and when you start to take care of yourself again, that energy radiates into every part of your life. Your marriage. Your mood. Your motivation. This is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation — but it might be the most important one you've heard in a while. Because sex isn't just physical. It's emotional. It's energetic. And when you start feeling good in your own skin again… everything changes.

Why listen: Less overwhelm, more results Practical steps you'll actually do Built for parents with real-world schedules
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Let's be honest — alcohol is the one habit most people don't want to look at. It's social. It's relaxing. It's fun. But it's also the reason you keep waking up tired, unmotivated, and stuck in the same cycle every week. In this episode, I'm not here to tell you to quit drinking — I'm here to tell you the truth about it. We'll talk about why alcohol quietly sabotages your fat loss, sleep, energy, and drive… How it blunts your motivation and wrecks your recovery… And how to include it smartly without blowing up your progress. I'll share my own story of using alcohol as an escape when I worked in the corporate world — and what changed everything for me. If you've ever said, "I only drink on weekends," this one's going to hit home. Listen now to learn: 🔥 The real impact of alcohol on fat loss, muscle growth, and motivation 🔥 Why even "moderate" drinking can stall progres 🔥 How to drink smarter without quitting entirely A 30-day challenge that'll completely change your relationship with alcohol
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Do you ever feel like you're constantly getting in your own way? You start strong… then the self-sabotage kicks in. That voice in your head starts whispering — "You've failed again," "You'll never stick to it," "Why bother?" That's your inner critic. And in this episode, we're going to expose it for what it really is — a scared little voice trying to protect you, but keeping you stuck. You'll learn exactly how to retrain that voice into a coach instead of a bully. We'll break down the practical steps to stop self-sabotage, rebuild self-trust, and finally talk to yourself like someone who actually believes in you. If you're ready to get out of your own way — this episode is your turning point.
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ Most people treat fat loss like a project — something to smash for a few weeks before getting "back to normal." But here's the truth: whatever you do to achieve the result, you'll need to keep doing to keep the result. In this episode, Jase breaks down why short-term thinking is the biggest reason you keep starting over — and how to finally play the long game. You'll learn how to build a lifestyle that lasts, measure progress beyond the scale, and use forgiveness and compassion as tools to stay consistent. If you're tired of quick fixes and ready to make this the last time you ever start again, this one's for you.

Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ If you've been "working out" for months but your body hasn't really changed — this one's for you. Most people aren't training. They're just exercising — doing random workouts that make them sweaty, tired, and frustrated… but not better. In this episode, Jase breaks down the key difference between exercising (movement with no direction) and training (movement with a purpose). You'll learn why busy parents waste time doing too much "stuff," how to actually make progress with limited time, and how to shift your mindset from calorie-burning to body-building — in the life sense. This one's about more than reps and sets. It's about becoming a person who trains with intention — in the gym, at home, and in life. Because exercise burns calories. But training builds character.
Free Transformation Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bbafree Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasestuartBBC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasestuart_fit _ A few weeks ago, I had $100,000 stolen from my bank account. Yeah — one hundred grand, gone. Ten years ago, I would've fallen apart. But this time, I froze the account, went to the gym, and had dinner with my family. Why? Because reacting emotionally wasn't going to fix it. In this episode, I'm talking about emotional maturity — how to hold your shit together when life blindsides you. Because life won't get easier. You just get stronger. New levels, new devils.
