Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

On today's final episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series this year, I'm answering a question submitted by one of our amazing listeners regarding how to measure your body fat while you're at home to be able to interpret if you're making progress or not with more certainty. One of the drawbacks of only using the scale to track your progress is sometimes you can lose body fat while gaining (or even maintaining muscle)... leading to body composition changes that aren't reflected on the scale. This means you can be making physical progress, looking leaner and even dropping your body fat percentage but the scale may not have budged anymore than a few pounds if that. This is why beginning a practice to track your body fat percentage and body composition is so crucial to your fitness journey, despite it sometimes being challenging without the right equipment. If you're ready to explore new ways to track your body composition and progress at home without needing fancy or expensive gadgets, this episode features my simple, at-home strategies I use with my own clients to measure progress in other ways than just the scale.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss a question submitted by our amazing listener Abbey on the benefits and drawbacks of traditional weight lifting versus a la carte fitness classes. We all know that using progressive overload as a technique when lifting weights allows your muscles to be challenged so you can see the results you want – but what happens when you do a la carte fitness classes such as Peloton Strength workouts? Do these workouts impact your results even if you enjoy them or they are convenient? Today's episode is going to address two things. First, is it a myth that you need to lift heavy weights to get lean and lose body fat? And secondly, I discuss the benefits and drawbacks of traditional weight lifting versus one-time classes such as Peloton Strength and Orangetheory so you know how to choose the right training style for your goals, schedule and fitness level. If you're looking to not just lose weight but reshape your body, this episode is going to help you figure out if what you're doing is enough for the results you want to see.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I'm sitting down to discuss how much protein you actually need to be eating per day if your goal is to lose fat and lean out. When it comes to protein, unfortunately much of the advice online makes you think that you need to eat like a bodybuilder to get fit – when that's the farthest from the truth. Instead, today's episode is going to walk you through three simple approaches to figuring out how much protein you actually should be eating per day, whether or not you want to track your calories or macros. You'll walk away knowing how to set a protein goal that's realistic for your lifestyle, feels workable even if you're busy, and actually sets you up for lasting fat loss based on science. Plus I'm also sharing the one benchmark that puts you ahead of 90% of dieters and address why protein is important… but if you don't also address this one thing it could hold you back from results.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss how to approach losing body fat without having to give up your social life, going out to eat and enjoying food. Many women when on a diet program intentionally trying to lose body fat get anxious when they have meals out or events that can have tempting food options. While it's important to eat at home – it isn't realistic to think that you'll never go out to eat… even when you're trying to get fit and lose weight. That's why today's episode is here to help you with your mindset, and your macros. I'm breaking down how to stay on track when out to eat with simple strategies and a proven approach that will decrease your stress and anxiety in these situations. I also discuss cheat meals, when to know it's worth it to indulge and other strategies you can begin to implement so you strike the perfect balance of enjoying yourself without over-doing it. By the end of the episode you'll ditch food anxiety, learn to call a meal "fun" without derailing your results, and walk away confident that you can enjoy life and keep making progress.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss two ways to approach calculating your calories for fat loss regardless of if you want to track your food intake. Determining your target calorie deficit is an important core step towards your journey to losing body fat because without context into how much you should be eating, it's very challenging (if not impossible) to determine the daily food plan you should be following. For this reason, I'll be sharing two methods I use with clients to help you determine how much you should be eating for results. The first method is rooted in science and numbers, while the other method is less invasive into your lifestyle and instead uses how you currently eat in your real-life to help guide how to get into a calorie deficit. By the end you'll leave this episode with knowledge on how to determine how much you should be eating and how to apply this information to your daily life to begin seeing fat loss on both your body – and the scale.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to discuss all things weight loss weigh-ins as inspired by one of our amazing listener's named Kelsey who left a comment on a recent episode on Spotify regarding how often she should be weighing in. In this, I'm discussing how to approach weigh-ins, how often you should weigh in, when it's appropriate to stop weighing in as frequently or even at all if it's impacting your mental health and how to not let the number on the scale get the best of you according to science. My hope is for you to walk away from this episode knowing exactly how to use weigh-ins to level up your progress without it physically and mentally draining you, or bringing you down… because at the end of the day the goal is to focus on the work – not the weigh in.
