Breakfast & Barbells

In this episode I sit down with one of my incredible 1-On-1 clients, Esther Thompson.In the past, she tried this like weight watchers and other diets to try and get the body she wanted.While she did see some weight loss with those approaches, she never got the muscle tone and shape she wanted, and never felt like those approaches taught her how to actually live her life while continuing to see results.In this episode we dive into her previous struggles, and how the program and the 3 Phase approach I take with fat loss for my clients completely changed that for her.Be sure to share this episode with a family member, friend, or on your IG or FB stories so someone else who needs help can find it!Join The iTHRIVE Collective with the link below for monthly workouts, recipe ideas, direction on how to set your own nutrition goals, challenges with monthly prizes, weekly LIVE Q&As with recordings, and a community of women all on paths to better their health, body composition, and life!: https://www.skool.com/the-ithrive-collective-8193/aboutPlease leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

It's true that calories are the most important variable when it comes to whether or not you gain weight or lose weight over time.But what if I told you that there are 2 other variables, that as long as you are consistent with, you'll make SOME type of progress with your body composition no matter where your calories end up.Now we obviously don't want our calorie intake to be an afterthought, but in the short term. focusing on just these 2 things will help your results tremendously.After listening to this episode, you'll know exactly how to maintain your results - or how to continue getting results in some capacity, even if you mess up your calorie intake for the day.Join The iTHRIVE Collective with the link below for monthly workouts, recipe ideas, direction on how to set your own nutrition goals, challenges with monthly prizes, weekly LIVE Q&As with recordings, and a community of women all on paths to better their health, body composition, and life!: https://www.skool.com/the-ithrive-collective-8193/aboutPlease leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

One of the biggest keys to long term success with weight loss simply comes down to this - continuing to move forward and keep going even when progress feels slow, or even non-existent.In this episode I give you the keys on how you can visualize your "future self" and use your "future you" to convince yourself to keep going.This episode is also a great reminder of the fact that you might truly be just 1-2 steps away from completely breaking through and really starting to notice progress taking off, but you'll never know that unless you refuse to give up.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join The iTHRIVE Collective for just $29 / month!:https://www.skool.com/the-ithrive-collective-8193/aboutJoin Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

One of the most common questions I get is "How long will it take me to get to my goal?"Well, this answer obviously depends on how consistent you are, your execution, and how advanced your goal is - but there are other factors to realize too in order to have realistic expectations to avoid setting yourself up for FEELING like you're failing.In this episode I outline how much time you should expect for it to take to see progress, both initially, and if you want to actually keep the weight off for good.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join The iTHRIVE Collective for just $29 / month!:https://www.skool.com/the-ithrive-collective-8193/aboutJoin Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

If you were to Google "How do I speed up my metabolism?" one of the very first things you'll see is to "drink more water".But does drinking more water really boost your metabolism?And if I does, will that have a noticeable impact on your fat loss progress?Well in this episode I'll be breaking it down for you - and not by just what a generic google website says, but from what the research says.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join The iTHRIVE Collective for just $29 / month!:https://www.skool.com/the-ithrive-collective-8193/aboutJoin Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

A couple of weeks ago I published an episode talking about why if your goal is to change your body composition and/or achieve fat loss, manipulating your calories is the most important variable to focus on.But are calories ALL that matter? Does it matter if you're hitting your calories, or even calories and protein with protein shakes and candy vs. eating stereotypical "whole foods" to hit those targets?In this episode I'm diving into the multiple reasons why the types of foods you eat CAN still impact your results even if you are still hitting your calorie and protein targets at the end of the day.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

One of the biggest struggles I see people face after starting their fat loss or fitness journeys is falling into the trap of comparing their progress to others.This can lead to frustration, second guessing whether or not you're on the right path when you actually might be, and eventually either giving up completely or making a drastic change in order to "catch up" to the other person you're comparing yourself to.In this episode I cover why comparing yourself to others is not only one of the worst things you can do, but why scientifically, physiologically, and practically it doesn't even make sense to do it in the first place.After listening to this episode you'll no longer feel the need to compare your progress to anyone else's ever again.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

A question I get all the time is "how many days a week should I be working out to make the most progress?"And the truth is, the answer is "it depends" like most things with health and fitness.BUT, there are some things to consider like how many days you can actually commit to, how you're structuring your workouts and diving your exercises up, etc.In this episode I cover all of that, and show you exactly how to set up your workout routine whether you're ready to commit to 2, 3, 4, or 5 days in the gym.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

One of the biggest struggles I see from people attempting to lose fat is that they second guess everything they do.This is in part because you might not be an expert in fat loss and might be unsure that what you're doing is actually the right thing.But it also is likely because with fat loss, there's a ton of delayed gratification and "lag time" between your actions and the result you're actually trying to achieve.In this episode I dive how this issue manifests within your fitness journey, and ways to overcome it so you can still succeed long term.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

A 'metabolic phenotype' is a term used to describe where your total energy expenditure (aka how many calories you burn) lies in comparison to how many calories we would predict you'd burn based on a set of equations given your height, weight, age, activity level, etc.Some people can be described as having a "thrifty" metabolic phenotype, where others may have more of a "spendthrift" phenotype. Depending on where you fall in regards to these categories, it can have an impact on how hard or easy fat loss may feel for you.In this episode I dive into the differences between both phenotypes and the implications this might have on fat loss, as well as strategies to implement to counteract the negative side effects of your category.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

In this episode I talk about the drastic differences between either gaining or losing a pound of fat vs. a pound of muscle.I dive into the calorie/energy content of each of these types of tissues in the body, and how losing one vs. the other when you start a diet can make an enormous difference in the number on the scale.I also cover why if you're seeing huge changes on the scale week to week, then you probably aren't losing as much body fat as you think, and a number of strategies to ensure most of the weight you are losing is body fat and not valuable muscle mass.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

Everyone is always looking for tips on "how to stay motivated" in their weight loss or fitness journeys.In response to that, you've probably heard fitness influencers telling you that instead of relying on motivation, use "discipline" instead.Well in this episode, I'm going to talk about something else that can get you through those rough times when going to the gym or following your nutrition plan feels like the last thing you want to do.And in my opinion, it's MUCH more powerful than motivation or discipline in the long run.

One of the biggest issues I see is people jumping straight into a fat loss phase or dieting phase without establishing a "healthy metabolism" or good habits beforehand.By rushing into a fat loss phase from the get go, you're more likely to fail, feel burnt out, run yourself into the ground, and end up giving up sooner rather than later.In today's episode I'm diving into all of the details behind how I help prime my clients to respond to fat loss best - for better results, and without the burn out most people experience.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

2024 is here, and you're probably thinking about all of the things you want to accomplish over the next 12 months.However, most people don't have any type of framework in terms of setting new goals, or discovering what may have gone well or not well over the previous year.In today's episode, I'll be going over the thought process I use to assess how the last 12 months has gone, what I want to accomplish, what's realistic to accomplish, and how to pinpoint exactly what needs to change in the upcoming year in order for you to achieve the end result you're looking for.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

Ever start a "dieting phase" or fat loss phase and think the first line of action should be to increase your cardio in order to burn more calories to shed more fat? While this might seem logical by thinking "more calories burned equals more fat loss" - right?BUT there are diminishing returns as that cardio reaches extreme levels - especially if you aren't doing any resistance training along the way.In today's episode, I'm diving into what's called the Exercise Energy Compensation Model, where I'll be explaining how and why filling your week with hours of cardio might actually be hurting your fat loss, along with slowing your metabolism down.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

Making progress along your fat loss or fitness journey shouldn't feel like a fight to the death every single day - if it does, then you're probably doing something wrong.But with that being said, there certainly will be times where things feel hard, sometimes VERY hard, but you'll have to find a way to get it done regardless if you want to continue to progress.So in today's episode, I'm giving YOU the wake up call you need to start making progress - either again, or for the first time.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd

Do you want to get toned? Do you want to shape certain areas of your body like your legs, glutes, or arms?One of the biggest issues I see from people wanting to transform their bodies is not knowing how many sets they should be doing in the gym for optimal progress.It's usually too little to get progress moving, OR too much to where your body can't recover from it properly.In today's episode, I'm diving into exactly how many sets you should be doing in the gym to achieve the best results possible.

One of the biggest issues I see among clients or people wanting to lose weight and transform their body is the obsession over wanting to reach their end destination as fast as possible.This can FEEL productive, but when it comes to losing fat, building muscle, or changing your body - there's a physiological cap of just how fast you can actually achieve these things.So with that, learning to be fully present and truly take things day by day is extremely important to be successful long term.In today's episode, I dive into how I was forced to learn this after my mom died, and how it taught me how to be truly patient and embrace the ride along the way.Please leave a 5 star review if you enjoyed the podcast and be sure to join our Free Facebook Group through the link below for more exclusive content, giveaways, etc.Join Our FREE Facebook Group for more free resources, live trainings, etc:https://www.facebook.com/groups/fatlossforevergroupApply For 1 On 1 Coaching:https://form.typeform.com/to/d2FuhjbCInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/joeygast_rd/Subscribe To My Youtube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmg0VHE4W33iLZ-Df1fiFrgCheck Out Our Client Transformations:https://www.instagram.com/ithrivenutrition_fitness/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@joeygast_rd
