    In today's episode, I'm joined by nutrition and behavior change coach Elizabeth Dall to talk about something most women don't even realize is holding them back: disconnection from their own body. We also cover the hidden cost of constantly comparing yourself—to who you used to be, to someone else, or to the plan you think you should be following—and how that mindset leads to burnout, second-guessing, and spinning your wheels. This episode is about learning how to listen to your body again—so your choices actually reflect what your body needs, not what a diet told you to do. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The three types of comparison that quietly sabotage your fat loss Why “eating healthy” doesn't always lead to results How to reconnect with hunger, fullness, and satisfaction A better way to build consistency with movement—especially if you're short on time How sleep, stress, and recovery impact your metabolism more than you realize One small shift that can help you stop relying on willpower and start feeling in control This conversation will help you block out the noise, trust your body again, and create habits that feel doable long-term—even in a full season of life.

We also unpack both of our personal journeys through disordered eating, unrealistic standards, and the pursuit of something deeper than a six-pack. This one goes beyond macros and workouts—it's about mindset, priorities, and what a sustainable, fulfilling life really looks like. What We Cover in This Episode: The hidden costs of extreme leanness (and why Robert doesn't recommend it for most people) What most diet culture gets wrong about fat loss and body composition Why building muscle is the real secret to lasting results How keto helped Robert heal his relationship with food—and why it's more about real food than rigid rules The unexpected spiritual growth that came from pushing his body to the limit   This episode is your reminder that real success in fitness isn't just about how lean you can get—it's about who you become in the process.

But let's be honest… that's miserable. And it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, we're flipping the script on what a “summer body” actually means—and how to feel proud of yours without crash dieting, cutting carbs, or burning out by June.

    Ever feel like you know exactly what you should be doing—eating better, moving more, getting your workouts in—but you just can't seem to actually get yourself to do them? In today's episode, I'm answering one of the most common questions I get: “What should I do when I don't feel motivated?” We'll unpack why motivation isn't something you can rely on—and how to take action even when you're not feeling it. If you've ever struggled with getting started or staying consistent, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need to build momentum and get results—even when motivation is nowhere to be found. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why motivation is the last thing you should wait for A powerful analogy that changes how you think about motivation and consistency The real key to building long-term consistency (hint: it's not discipline) How to take action—even when you don't feel like it A simple strategy to help you choose your next small step Key Takeaways Motivation is a terrible place to start – It only shows up after you've already seen results. Results come from action—not feelings – Waiting to “feel ready” is what keeps most people stuck. Small wins build big momentum – Start with one non-negotiable habit you can improve this week. Progress > perfection – You don't need to overhaul your life overnight. You just need to take the next step. The flywheel effect is real – Action leads to results, which leads to motivation, which fuels more action.

    One of my clients recently asked, “How much bread can I eat and still lose weight?” It's a fair question—especially when social media makes it sound like eating toast is the reason why your jeans won't button. In today's episode, I'm sharing a real coaching call conversation where we unpack that exact question. You'll learn what actually matters when it comes to eating bread, how to make smarter food decisions, and why cutting out your favorite foods is usually the wrong move. If you've ever felt guilty for eating carbs or found yourself confused about what “healthy bread options” even means—this one's for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why carbs (and yes, even bread) aren't the enemy The truth about sugar and weight gain A simple 5-part decision-making framework for choosing better breads How to listen to your body and identify food sensitivities Key Takeaways Carbs aren't bad. Bread, pasta, and fruit can all fit into a fat loss plan—it's about the context of food, not the category. Sugar isn't the issue—volume is. Most processed foods overload your system with sugar. Bread or fruit on its own? Totally manageable. Try the Bread Decision-Making Matrix. A simple 5-part framework to help you choose better options. Sourdough might help. Fermented breads like sourdough can be easier on digestion for people sensitive to gluten. So, no—you don't need to ditch your favorite sandwich or skip strawberries to lose fat.

    If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things—tracking your food, hitting your workouts, drinking your water—but the scale still keeps bouncing around like a toddler on a sugar rush... this episode is for you. Today, I break down one of the most common and confusing frustrations people face when trying to lose fat: why the scale goes up and down even when you're sticking to the plan. More importantly, you'll learn what those shifts actually mean, how to tell if you're truly making progress, and how to focus on what really matters. Spoiler alert: it's not the number you saw this morning. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why your weight can fluctuate even when you're doing “everything right” The top reasons the scale spikes overnight (and why you shouldn't worry about it) What you should be tracking instead of daily scale weight How to know if you're actually in a calorie deficit Why obsessing over one weigh-in can sabotage long-term progress Key Takeaways Scale fluctuations are normal. Things like salt, carbs, workouts, stress, sleep, hormones, digestion, and even clothing can all influence what you see on the scale—none of which mean you've gained fat. Look for trends, not moments. One weigh-in doesn't mean anything on its own. Zoom out and look at the average over time. Progress isn't always visible on the scale. Fat loss can be happening even if the number doesn't drop. The scale isn't the only marker of success. Maintenance calories matter. If the trend isn't going down, it might not be a motivation issue—it might be that you're simply not in a deficit. More consistency > more restriction. Most people don't need to cut harder—they need to stay consistent longer. So, the next time the scale throws you a curveball, don't panic. Don't slash your calories. Don't throw in the towel. Remind yourself that your body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do—and you're still in control. Keep showing up, collect the data, watch the trends, and trust the process.

    In this episode, I welcome Megan Hardy, the founder of Fitness Uncharted, for an in-depth discussion on reverse dieting—what it is, how it works, and how it can help you eat more while still achieving your fat loss goals. If you've ever wondered how some people seem to be able to eat more food while still losing fat, this episode dives into the nuanced science behind metabolism, calorie deficits, and strategic calorie increases to support long-term, sustainable fat loss. What You'll Learn in This Episode: What reverse dieting actually is (and what it is not) How eating more can sometimes help you lose weight The three most common responses people experience when reverse dieting Why long-term calorie restriction can slow down your metabolism—and how to fix it The impact of chronic under-eating on energy, hormones, and fat loss How to reverse diet properly without unwanted weight gain Key Takeaways: Reverse dieting isn't magic, but it's a powerful tool. Gradually increasing calories can help restore metabolism, energy, and performance without unwanted fat gain. Metabolism adapts to what you give it. Eating too little for too long slows down your metabolism, making fat loss harder over time. Not everyone responds the same way. Some people can eat more and lose weight, right away while others maintain or gain slightly—your response depends on various factors. Strength training is essential. Building muscle makes reverse dieting more effective by improving metabolic health and increasing caloric tolerance. Patience is key. Reverse dieting takes time, but it's an important strategy for long-term fat loss and maintenance. Reverse dieting is a valuable strategy for anyone who has been stuck in a cycle of chronic dieting and low energy. By gradually increasing your calorie intake, you can rebuild your metabolism, restore hormonal balance, and set yourself up for long-term fat loss success. It's not an overnight fix, but with patience, proper strength training, and a focus on sustainability, you can, in fact, have your cake and eat it too. If you've been struggling with low energy, stalled weight loss, or frustrations with restrictive diets, reverse dieting might just be the missing piece you didn't know you needed.

    Feeling lost in the sea of conflicting fitness and nutrition advice? One day carbs are the enemy, the next day they become the food you can't live without. Some say you need six meals a day, others promote fasting. So how do you separate fact from fiction and find a sustainable approach that actually works for you? In this episode, we tackle one of the most frustrating challenges in the health and fitness space: deciphering what's legit advice from what's just noise. Get ready for clear, no-nonsense advice that will help you filter through the confusion and make informed decisions about your health. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The three essential filters to apply when evaluating fitness and nutrition advice. How to determine whether a diet or fitness trend aligns with your personal goals and lifestyle. The red flags that signal a piece of advice may not be in your best interest. Key Takeaways: Trust Your Intuition – Before jumping on any fitness trend, ask yourself: Does this approach align with my lifestyle? Can I see myself sticking with it long-term? If it feels like a constant uphill battle, it's likely not for you. If It Sounds Too Good to Be True, It Probably Is – Any advice that promises extreme results with little effort is likely a marketing gimmick. Real progress takes real consistency and effort. Beware of Supplement & Medication Pushing – While supplements and medications have their place, they should never be the first (or only) solution presented. The fundamentals—nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management—must come first. When it comes to fitness and nutrition, not all advice is created equal. By applying these three filters, you can cut through the noise and focus on what truly works for you.

    You know protein is important for building muscle, boosting metabolism, and keeping you full, but actually hitting your daily target? That's where things get tricky. In this episode of Fat Loss Simplified, I break down four simple steps to make sure you're getting the protein your body needs—without over-complicating it or feeling overwhelmed. If you've ever wondered, “How much protein do I really need, and how do I get it consistently?” then this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why protein is essential for muscle, metabolism, and overall health The simple formula to determine how much protein you actually need How to structure your meals so protein intake becomes effortless My simple meal prepping strategy that makes it all way easier When and how to use protein supplements effectively Key Takeaways: Set clear protein goals – Instead of saying “I need more protein,” determine an actual number based on your body weight and goals. Prioritize whole food sources – Focus on nutrient-dense options like lean meats, eggs, dairy, and plant-based proteins before relying on supplements. Meal prep smarter, not harder – Cook extra portions at dinner to have ready-to-go protein for the next day. Use supplements as a backup, not a crutch – Protein shakes can help fill in gaps, but whole foods should come first.

    Today's episode is inspired by two very different messages I received this week—one from a client who's thriving and another from a frustrated stranger on YouTube. These contrasting perspectives open up a powerful discussion about fat loss, mindset, and how we often misinterpret the real obstacles in our way. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or convinced that your circumstances are holding you back, this episode is a must-listen. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The difference between “simple” and “easy” when it comes to fat loss How mindset and victim mentality can sabotage your progress The real root causes of inflammation, insulin resistance, and weight gain A step-by-step approach to overcoming obstacles and taking control of your health Key Takeaways: Simple ≠ Easy: Fat loss follows a straightforward process, but it requires discipline, patience, and consistency. Victim Mindset vs. Ownership Mindset: Conditions like inflammation and insulin resistance can be managed by addressing root causes such as diet, movement, and stress management. Root Causes of Inflammation & Insulin Resistance: These conditions are symptoms, not the actual problem. Poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic stress, poor sleep, and excessive body fat all contribute to the overall issue. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you or that fat loss is out of your control, I hope today's discussion gives you a fresh perspective and actionable steps.

    Life gets busy. Whether it's work, family, or just the unexpected chaos of life, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that if you can't work out consistently, your body composition is going to suffer, undoing all the hard work you've put in to feel strong, lean, and confident. But what if I told you that taking breaks from training doesn't set you back nearly as much as you think? In today's episode, we're diving into two fascinating studies that reveal how temporary breaks from strength training impact body composition and fat loss. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How temporary breaks in training impact muscle loss and regrowth The surprising way your body responds after time off from strength training Why perfection isn't necessary for long-term progress Practical takeaways to help you stay on track even during busy seasons Key Takeaways: A 2013 study found that taking three-week breaks in between six-week training cycles resulted in only a 5% difference in muscle gain compared to those who trained continuously for 24 weeks. A 2024 study showed that after taking 10 weeks off, participants still caught up in muscle growth within their next 10-week training cycle. Even after time off, muscles regain size faster due to the novelty effect (often referred to as “newbie gains”). Strength training two to three times per week with just a few key movements is enough to make a meaningful impact. Nutrition (especially protein intake) plays a big role in maintaining muscle during breaks. The most important factor? Not quitting. Consistency over time matters far more than perfect execution. If you've ever worried that missing workouts means you're backsliding on your fat loss and losing the toned, lean look you've been working toward, these studies prove otherwise. Life happens—but as long as you keep showing up when you can, you'll keep moving forward. So, if you're in a busy season, don't stress about being perfect—just stay consistent. And remember, your metabolism, strength, and muscle growth aren't wiped out by a few weeks off. Keep training when you can, fuel your body well, and know that all your effort still counts, even if it's not perfect every single day.

    We often think fat loss comes down to calories, workouts, and meal plans—but the biggest thing holding most people back isn't in the gym or the kitchen. It's in their head. Overthinking, second-guessing, and emotional attachment to short-term results are the real progress killers. In this episode, I break down why this happens and give you a simple five-step framework to break free and start seeing consistent results. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're spinning your wheels, this one's for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The #1 reason most people stall in their fat loss journey (and it's not what you think) How overthinking and emotional attachment to results sabotage progress Why consistency matters more than perfection A five-step method to get out of your own way and start seeing real results Practical tips for breaking bad habits and building sustainable ones Key Takeaways: Your thoughts shape your results. Overanalyzing every meal, step, or scale fluctuation leads to frustration and inconsistency. Overthinking creates paralysis. Just like with investing, the people who don't micromanage every detail often see the best long-term results. Follow the five-step method: Be aware of what's holding you back. Decide to take action instead of staying stuck. Break the pattern by replacing old habits with intentional choices. Be willing to fail and learn from it instead of giving up. Stay consistent even when progress feels slow. Progress isn't linear. The scale will fluctuate, workouts won't always feel great, and you won't always make perfect choices—and that's okay. Action beats perfection. The longer you wait to start, the harder it becomes. Take the first step today. Overthinking is one of the biggest reasons people struggle with fat loss. If you're caught in a cycle of doubt and second-guessing, it's time to shift your focus from worrying about the outcome to simply showing up and taking action.

    If you've ever felt like fat loss is an uphill battle—where some days you're fired up and ready to hit the gym, and other days you just want to melt into the couch—this episode is for you. The truth is, motivation is not the key to long-term success. Instead, your habits, daily structure, and environment play a much bigger role in whether you stay consistent or keep starting over every Monday. In today's episode, we're breaking down how to automate your fat loss success so you never have to rely on motivation again. I'll walk you through simple ways to structure your meals, workouts, and environment to make fat loss feel effortless instead of exhausting. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why motivation is unreliable—and what actually keeps you consistent How to build structure into your workouts and meals so you don't have to “wing it” The power of evening routines (and why I don't have a morning routine) How your environment is quietly shaping your food and exercise choices The one shift that makes fat loss easier than failure Key Takeaways: Motivation won't save you. Some days you'll feel like it, some days you won't—build habits that keep you on track no matter what. Structure = consistency. Plan your meals, workouts, and routines in advance so you never have to guess. Your environment shapes your success. Make healthy choices easier by setting up your space for success. Find your people. Support matters—surround yourself with those who lift you up. Small wins add up. Start with one change, master it, then stack another. Progress is built one step at a time.

    If you've ever felt like you're putting in the work, doing everything “right,” but still not seeing the results you want in the mirror, this episode is for you. Inspired by a recent conversation with one of my clients, we're diving into why maintenance might actually be more valuable than constantly chasing weight loss. Many people believe that fat loss is all about eating less and moving more, but that mindset can leave you feeling frustrated, stuck, and spinning your wheels. In today's episode, we break down why maintenance is crucial for long-term success, how to recomposition your body for better muscle definition and energy levels, and the biggest mistake that keeps people from achieving the look and feel they truly want. If you're tired of dieting and not seeing the progress you expected, this episode is going to change the way you approach your fat loss journey. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why always being in a calorie deficit might be holding you back How maintenance can actually lead to better fat loss results The concept of dieting periodization and why it matters The role of muscle building in changing your body composition Why your fat loss plateau might be a sign you need to focus on something else Key Takeaways: Fat loss isn't always just about eating less – Constant dieting can lead to muscle loss, leaving you feeling smaller but not stronger. Maintenance fuels real transformation – It gives your body what it needs to build muscle while reducing body fat percentage. Recomposition > Rapid weight loss – Keeping muscle while burning fat creates a stronger, leaner, and more defined body. Structured phases work best – Cycling through fat loss, maintenance, and muscle growth prevents plateaus and burnout. If you're stuck, pivot – Focusing on maintenance might be the missing key to unlocking real, lasting results. At the end of the day, losing weight isn't the goal—feeling confident, strong, and energized is. If you've been stuck in a cycle of dieting and not seeing the changes you want, it might be time to focus on maintenance, muscle-building, and sustainable progress instead.

    Eating in moderation sounds like the perfect, balanced approach for fat loss—unless it doesn't work. While it's often seen as the golden rule of healthy eating, it only works if certain conditions are met. In this episode, I break down when moderation works, when it doesn't, and the two essential questions you need to ask yourself before making it your go-to strategy. If you've ever wondered why eating in moderation feels effortless for some people and frustrating for others, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The real definition of moderation (and why it's different for everyone) Why eating “in moderation” works for some but not for others The role of metabolic flexibility in making moderation effective How to build your ability to eat in moderation while still seeing results Key Takeaways: Moderation only works when you have the awareness of what's in your food and what your body needs. If you struggle with weight gain when trying to eat intuitively, your metabolism might need some revitalization work. Muscle is the key to increasing metabolic flexibility, allowing you to eat more while still burning fat. The goal isn't to track forever—it's to build the awareness and habits that make moderation effortless. Eating in moderation can be the ultimate goal, but it may not align with where you are right now. By improving awareness, building muscle, and strengthening metabolic flexibility, you can get to a place where you never have to track another macro or count another calorie again.

These are the stories of two clients—one who embraced the process and saw incredible results, and another who let common roadblocks stand in their way. If you've ever wondered why some people lose weight and keep it off while others yo-yo diet for years, this episode will give you the clarity you need.

The common excuse that holds most people back—and how to overcome it. How to stay consistent, even when life gets busy. Key Takeaways: Progress Over Perfection – Success comes from focusing on daily habits and behaviors, not chasing rapid weight loss. Zoom Out for Perspective – Short-term fluctuations on the scale mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Track trends over time. Make Time, Don't Find Time – Life is always busy. Waiting for the perfect time to start will keep you stuck forever. Sustainability is Key – The fastest way to fat loss is doing it once in a way that fits your lifestyle, rather than crash dieting over and over. By shifting your focus away from daily scale fluctuations and instead looking at the bigger picture, like overall strength gains and how your clothes fit, you'll stay motivated and on track.

    Ever notice how eating real, whole foods gets labeled as "dieting"? In today's episode, we tackle a frustrating reality: our society has become so accustomed to ultra-processed food that simply eating basic, nutrient-dense meals can be seen as an attempt to lose weight. This idea hit home when my wife told me about a conversation at work—where bringing a lunch of whole, single-ingredient foods somehow turned into a discussion about weight loss. Why This Perception is a Problem Eating real food isn't about restriction—it's about fueling your body well. Our culture has normalized ultra-processed, addictive foods to the point that anything else feels "extreme." Not making this mindset shift is actively holding people back from feeling their best. The Power of Whole Foods Why my household is an "ingredient household." The key difference between eating well for life vs. short-term dieting. How whole foods keep you full, energized, and thriving. The Ultra-Processed Food Trap How food companies design products to override your natural hunger signals. The science behind why processed foods are so hard to stop eating. Why willpower alone isn't the solution when you're up against engineered cravings. How to Shift Your Mindset & Make the Switch Stop thinking of real food as "diet food"—it's just food. The massive impact of redefining “normal” eating habits. Simple ways to prioritize whole foods without feeling like you're missing out. If you've ever felt judged for eating real food or struggled to break free from processed food cravings, this episode is packed with insights to help you make that needed mental switch.
