If you’ve ever felt like you're doing “everything right” in a fat loss phase and still not seeing results - you’re not alone. I’ve made some of the same weight loss mistakes myself.

In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest fat loss mistakes I made during my very first intentional cut, and what I’ve learned (both as a registered dietitian and as a real person) about the best way to lose weight sustainably.

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the fat loss habits that support real results, how to avoid the mental traps of diet culture, and how to know when it’s time to change course - not quit entirely.

This episode will help you get unstuck and build smarter fat loss habits that actually stick.

I’ll walk you through:

 • (1:45 ) The fat loss habits that I did right my first time around - and then exactly where it all started to go wrong

• (3:30 ) One of the most common weight loss mistakes with the scale - and how I coach clients differently now

• (6:15 ) How staying in a deficit too long stalled progress - and the truth about the best way to lose weight over time

• (10:00 ) Why leaning on “diet foods” backfired during my fat loss phase and what satisfying, protein-forward meals look like now

• (13:30 ) How skipping a reverse diet can undo progress - and the fat loss habits I always build in from the start

• (24:30 ) 5 core strategies I use with every client to avoid weight loss mistakes and set up for success

If you’ve been spinning your wheels, it might not be about willpower - it could be that you’re stuck in outdated strategies that don’t reflect the best way to lose weight in a sustainable, realistic way.

Hit play to learn what I’d never do again, how I coach fat loss differently now, and what you can change today to feel more confident in your process.
