Real Life Weight Loss

Weddings, significant birthdays (30, 40, 50, etc), class reunions, special parties, beach vacations …All of us have really wanted to look our best for a certain special occasion. There's nothing wrong with this. But it doesn't have to be a special date. It might just be a totally imaginary, made-up deadline that you've put on yourself. You set a goal to lose a certain amount of weight by a certain date.However, when it comes to the big picture of losing weight and keeping it off, this might not be the most helpful approach. In today's episode, I'll explain the pros and cons to wanting certain results by a certain date. And we'll also dig into another method for losing weight that might be less stressful and more sustainable. And that date becomes like a terrible storm … lurking in the distance that just causes you stress as it creeps closer and closer.

Shannon tried Fen-Phen, the Ideal Protein Diet, Noom (twice), and even did the HCG Diet w/ the HCG shots. Did she lose weight? Yes. Did she regain it? Oh yes.At one point, Shannon lost 110 pounds, was scared to even sniff a cookie, and realized she really wasn't enjoying her life at all. She said she was always trying to cram her life into some diet, all while battling anxiety, perfectionism, and people pleasing. And then she finally realized all that just wasn't working and something had to change. In this episode, Shannon shares her story and where she is now. I guarantee you'll identify with what she shares and walk away encouraged and inspired!ANTI-DIET CLASS: https://AntiDietClass.comFREE MENOPAUSE DOWNLOAD: http://coreylittlecoaching.com/menopauseTRANSFORMATION TRINITY CLASS: https://EverybodyHatesDiets.com

Are there certain things in your life that you simply refuse to do now? That's definitely the case for me. 25 years as a fitness and health professional has taught me a lot. As I've grown and learned lessons, I've changed. I've shifted my perspective and totally stopped doing certain things. Today I share three things that I don't do anymore. I hope this episode will help shift your thoughts and mindset on losing weight and the various ways it can be done. Some of the stuff I share might surprise or shock you! But if you'll hear me out, I think they'll make sense and help you better understand my current stance, along with your brain's current view of the weight loss world.

We all need reminders sometimes. This episode is one of the most important reminders I can offer.I was initially reminded in a local shop of a cozy little mountain town. And then again years later by an old school newspaper cartoon that I saw online. Maybe this episode can serve as your reminder. If we miss this, then there's a good chance we'll have one of the top five regrets of the dying. Let's not get to the end of our life, look back, and wish we had gotten this right.

There's something that keeps us from reaching our goals. It keeps us from having the body we want, the health we want, and the LIFE we want. But it masquerades as a bunch of other stuff. It's not the right timeMoney is too tight.I should be able to do it on my ownI'll do that other diet that I tried in the pastWhat if I fail? What if I succeed? What if I lose it and just gain it all back? ALL of these are signs and symptoms that this big scary thing is standing between you and the life you really want. In today's episode, I share an email from “Kenneth” that explains exactly what's holding you back and what to do about it.

Can smoothies help you lose weight? Have you ever used smoothies to lose weight? After a little discussion with some of my clients, I realized that there's a “smoothie stage” of weight loss. It seems like something that quite a few people try and experience. Today's episode is not about telling you what you should put in a smoothie. It's not about whether the smoothie diet will work for you. Today's episode is about something much bigger, much deeper, and much more important. If you don't just want to lose weight, but you want to keep it off, then turn the volume up and take some notes! INTERESTED IN THE 2025 SPRING SPECIAL?Contact Us: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

There's a recipe for changing your life. There are must-have ingredients when it comes to losing weight and making wonderful, positive changes in our life. Today, I'll list the specific ingredients and explain what I like to call the formula (or equation) for successful change. We kick the entire discussion off with a simple but powerful question that you might have never considered - Are you learning or avoiding? Plus, I wrap things up by providing more questions and guidance to help you determine what ingredient might be missing for you.INTERESTED IN THE 2025 SPRING SPECIAL?Contact Us: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com

"I don't remember ever being on any weight-loss program that made me feel successful without feeling deprived and/or exhausted from the work it required."One of my clients recently made this comment. But let's be honest, that's not how it is for most people.Trying to lose weight usually means a few things . . . Restriction, portion control, and being hungryForcing ourselves to do things we don't want to doForcing ourselves to eat things we don't want to eatFeeling really alone because no one else understands what we're doingFeeling pressure because it's not happening fast enoughSecond-guessing what we're doingIt doesn't have to be that way.

The past few weeks, I've had clients ask the following questions and I've coached them through all sorts of things like . . . “Anytime I start to make food changes, part of me just feels rebellious. Why am I like this? How can I lose weight if I'm like this?” “I know strength training is important, but I just can't seem to get myself to do it. I really prefer cardio. What should I do? What do you recommend?” “Since I stopped weighing myself every single day, I don't want to weigh myself at all. I have so much less stress now. Is it okay to not weigh at all?” “I was doing SO good and then I went on a little vacation with my family over the weekend. And now I feel like I just can't get back to it.”Knowing what to do is just one small piece of the puzzle. Losing weight is actually about so much more. Losing weight is really about finally SEEING and changing our thought patterns, beliefs, and daily habits that have probably been ingrained for 20, 30, sometimes even 40 years! And that doesn't magically happen just because you suddenly know WHAT you should do.

It breaks my heart to see how mean people can be to themselves. I see it SO much.It's not every person I coach, but it's definitely the majority. So, there's a good chance you might be a lot harder on yourself than you really need to be. There's also a good chance that you think this is necessary. You might think that you actually NEED to be hard on yourself if you want to eventually be successful with losing weight. You might also think that if you stop (stop being really hard on yourself), then you've let yourself off the hook! And you'll never reach your weight loss goals. I couldn't disagree more. I'll explain why in this episode. Plus we'll cover 10 things to watch out for … 10 ways you might be beating yourself up and being unnecessarily hard on yourself. These are things that will make you feel fatter than you really are. Things that will make you feel worse than you should! Things that are much more likely to push you AWAY from the results you want rather than moving you toward the body and life you want.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck? Do you ever feel like you just can't get it together and you keep doing the same disappointing crap over and over again? If so, then today's episode is for you! There's a reason you feel the way that you do. There's something causing you to be stuck. And until you find it and change it, you'll go on repeating the same cycle, staying stuck. But the solution is counterintuitive. It's not what you might think. You can set yourself free to make more progress than ever, but it all starts in a place you might not expect.

Today I'm inviting you into a recent interaction with a dear friend. You'll get a chance to learn from what he's learning. It's essentially a peek into me coaching my friend. God allowed him to go to an ugly place ... in order to make a beautiful journey of transformation. He's in the middle of that journey right now. And I've been honored to play a small role in his transformation. Through our conversations and emails, he's now realizing that losing weight is about so much more than just “getting on a diet.” There's actually a lot of things interwoven. Our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health don't really exist (or improve) individually. They're all jumbled together and if you want to make big change that lasts . . . then you'll probably need to address them all. In this episode we explore the lessons he's learning, plus the things he wants to understand better. We're all unique and have our own individual lives, but you may find that you're in a pretty similar place as my friend.

Do you struggle with nighttime snacking? Do you have a hard time controlling what you eat at night? Is late night snacking keeping you from losing weight?One of the worst food habits I see that keeps people from losing weight is dreaded nighttime snacking. If this is an issue for you, you are NOT alone. It's an incredibly common struggle. I see it all the time. It doesn't matter which diet you do - keto, Whole30, Noom, Weight Watchers, Paleo, Atkins, or Intermittent Fasting - they all can fall victim to uncontrolled nighttime snacking.The problem is - people try to overcome this issue in all the wrong ways. It's not as simple as “trying harder” or “staying focused” or having more discipline. There's so much more to it than that. In today's episode, we delve into nighttime snacking. I explain 3 big problems and then give you specific steps to overcome this common weight loss struggle. It's time to stop trying harder and start stacking the deck in your favor!

Today, I want to offer you a different way to view real time daily food choices. It's a renewed, refreshed, empowering, and honest perspective. Whether we realize it or not, our current perspective might not be all that honest. It's only a half truth that can leave us feeling like a defeated victim. Eventually we can get stuck viewing things a certain way. This can be a problem. Things can creep into our head that cripple us. Unknowingly, we're sabotaging ourselves. As if that's not bad enough, then we begin judging ourselves and our decisions. And this can sink us into so much discouragement and shame. It doesn't have to be that way. Check out today's episode and adopt the “package deal perspective” and starting using the yes-no tool with your daily decisions. You'll begin to see things so much more clearly. And I believe you'll make decisions that you don't regret!ANTI-DIET CLASS: https://bit.ly/AntiDietClassFREE MENOPAUSE DOWNLOAD: http://coreylittlecoaching.com/menopauseTRANSFORMATION TRINITY CLASS: https://bit.ly/Transformation-Trinity-Class

This episode starts good and just gets better and better! You don't want to miss the end. Paul is a physician who was totally burnt out after Covid. Just like many of us, he gained some weight during the pandemic - some Covid weight. Eventually he couldn't button his pants. Then he stepped on the scale and was shocked. It was time to take action. But, in his words . . .“I've seen all of the BS that's out there. It's usually a money grab for big companies. And most of it is just not sustainable.”He wanted a real life solution for losing weight, something that he could maintain long-term. So he searched “real life weight loss” and found this podcast and my coaching program. I'm honored I got the chance to coach Paul to his goals. He committed to the process and got results! He said . . . “This program held up a mirror to me. It opened my eyes to things that I didn't even realize I was doing. The program really provided a framework, a step-by-step way of implementing things. It forces you (in a kind way) to implement the right principles, but in a way that fits your life in a way that's sustainable.”Look . . . medical doctors are super smart. They know more about the human body than I ever will. But that doesn't mean that they magically never gain weight. It also doesn't mean that they're automatically experts on how to lose weight or keep it off. And this is why I've had the honor and privilege of coaching Paul and so many other highly respected health professionals - doctors, nurses, dietitians, and other health experts. A few more things we'll cover in this episode . . .

Whenever you're going after your specific goals, you have two paths or approaches that you can take. One is low-stress, leads to progress, and will be so much more rewarding and fun. The other seems right, but it's actually a stressful, all-or-nothing, race to some imaginary finish line that you've created in your head. The question is - which approach are you unknowingly taking? If you're taking the wrong approach, then achieving your goals becomes unnecessarily hard. If you're taking the better approach, you'll not only achieve your goals, but change your life in the process. In this episode, I explain these two “paths” and help you figure out which one you've been doing. Plus, I give specific next steps to help you identify and overcome the roadblock between you and your goals.

Have you ever wondered - what do I really hope to gain from losing? Do I just want to lose weight?? Or is there more to it than that?There are 6 distinctly different categories of physical improvement. There definitely can be crossover with these, but make no mistake, they are different. In today's episode, I will explain these 6 categories, so that you can better understand exactly what it is you hope to gain from losing weight. Because . . . The real secret to true weight loss success that will make you amazingly happy is … knowing what you really want. A lot of people THINK they know, but they end up burnt out or disappointed - EVEN IF they achieved great results. This is also a big reason that some people repeatedly struggle to lose weight or just gain it right back. It's because, even though they don't realize it, just losing weight is not what they really want. They want something more. Or maybe they want something quite different, beyond just losing weight. It's time to find clarity. It's time for you to determine what you REALLY want to gain from losing weight.

James was constantly on and off the diet wagon. He tried Atkins, South Beach, Calorie tracking, and intermittent fasting. He lost weight with all of those. They all worked … for a little while. But they felt restrictive and burdensome. And he would always quit and gain all the weight back. He lost and regained the same 20 pounds for years and years. Sound familiar? He started to think - I'm different. There's something wrong with me. Then he thought - Maybe I just need to find the “right diet”. But then he found a totally different model … a totally different approach to losing weight and being healthy. Listen to James tell his story from years of struggle, mental turmoil, and a toxic relationship with the scales … to … low-stress success with his body. Here are some snippets from his story . . . I could stick with it for a few weeks, but I could never do it for long. I was going through this cycle where I would get on the scale after I ate bad and then I would feel terrible about myself. If the scale went down, I was happy. If it went up, I was mean to myself and to others. I felt terrible, weak, and undisciplined. Should you eat carbs? Should you not eat carbs? Should you eat eggs?

Do you have a weight loss goal? Should you write your goals down? Should you read your goals everyday? When it comes to goals, there are so many questions, suggestions, and “experts” telling you what to do. And if you ever meet with a trainer or nutritionist, there's a good chance their first words might even be - Okay, what are your goals? Goals are everywhere! And they're so important, right? I mean … goals are good, right? Ehh, they can be. But it's not always that simple. There's a fundamental truth in life that definitely applies to your goals. It can possibly even cause your goal to work against you and maybe even cause you to quit to your diet or weight loss program! Today, I'm going to explain this “basic truth”, two problems that it can cause when it comes to your body and losing weight, and then I'll give my specific recommendation on how to avoid these pitfalls.

Maybe I'm just a weirdo or I just think too much, but I often see parallels and lessons from so many life events that I believe we can learn from to help us in other areas of life. This happened recently when Hurricane Helene passed over where I live in the state of Georgia and then went on to have a devastating impact on parts of Tennessee, western North Carolina, as well as parts of south Georgia. There are probably hundreds of things we can learn from this hurricane, but today, I want to share 5 things this storm taught me about our brain, body, and your pursuit of weight loss (and really, just life in general).

One of the most common mistakes I see is something called the “Junk Drawer Syndrome.” It can negatively impact your weight loss efforts, but that's not all. It can also cause issues in just about any area of life. As if that's not bad enough . . . This “junk drawer mentality” often keeps you from getting the help or guidance you need, which will tremendously slow down or stall out your progress. Then, if we're not careful, it might lead to shame, embarrassment, confusion, and maybe even an unhealthy mindset where our pride and ego takes centerstage. In this episode, I explain what “Junk Drawer Syndrome” is, the problems it causes, and why we do it.

If you want a clear cut, black-and-white answer about losing weight, then this episode is for you! Whenever you ask a trainer, coach, or expert a question, there should be two words you hear when they respond. These two words can be an indicator that they truly “know their stuff” and can be trusted. The less someone knows about a certain topic, the simpler it might seem. Unfortunately this can be the case when it comes to nutrition, exercise, and weight loss. It's not quite as simple as “eat less and move more” or . . . If “eat less, move more” worked, then no one would be overweight and we'd have no health problems. “Just don't eat that”“Just eat less sugar”“Just exercise more”“Just stop eating so much at night”“Just wake up earlier and workout before your day starts”“Just stop binging”“Just get it under control”But sadly, that's the advice we might get or that we might tell ourselves sometimes. It's a bit more complex than that, but it doesn't have to be complicated. I'll explain it all in this episode. Grab your cup of coffee and let's do it!

You may think you just need to be more disciplined. You may think it was just the worst time to start a new diet. You may think you just need a different plan that works for you. Those might be true to some degree. But if you have tried to lose weight and quit multiple times, then I'm willing to bet that there's a sneaky reason you may not even be aware of. It can impact us when we're trying to take action and “do good”, but it can also crush us once we actually get results. That might sound crazy, but it's 100% true. Don't believe me? Listen to today's episode and I think you'll see the reality of what's behind our reasons to quit. Plus! I wrap things up with a specific 3 step process to help you avoid this in the future.

Today is the 300th episode, so it's kind of a milestone. For this, I wanted to select one of MY all time favorite episodes. I like to think of this episode as the behind-the-scenes (or below the surface) stuff of achieving a better body and a better life!Typically when I record most episodes, I'll have pretty extensive notes to guide me through what I want to share. That wasn't the case for the episode you're going to hear today. One Friday, I sat down at my laptop and it just hit me. I wrote down three sentences, clicked record, and the rest just flowed out … like something that needed to be said … and hopefully needed to be heard. So, maybe that's enough of a mysterious intro to get you to listen to the next 10ish minutes. Because it's one of my favorite episodes. And it's a message I believe we ALL need to hear from time to time. It may or may not be for you today … but you don't know until you listen :) 1: TWO FREE LESSONS: https://coreylittlecoaching.com/free 2: PURCHASE RISE NUTRITION PRODUCTSWebsite: https://challenge2rise.com/Smart Energy: https://challenge2rise.com/product/smart-energy/Elite Omega-3 on Amazon: https://a.co/d/3dgilSGEssential Nutrients on Amazon: https://a.co/d/6rcULakElite Nutrients on Amazon: https://a.co/d/duQn1TDFREE MENOPAUSE DOWNLOAD: http://coreylittlecoaching.com/menopause

Are you ready for the truth about protein?Can protein help you lose weight?How much protein should I eat per day?Is too much protein bad for you?If you've ever asked any of these questions, then this episode is for you. Chances are you've heard tidbits from all the viewpoints; probably everything from “too much protein is bad for you” to “protein is healthy and builds muscle.” The sad part is that nutrition experts are often the culprit. Dietitians and nutritionists tend to be the ones preaching all sorts of conflicting information. If you sometimes feel frustrated and confused, it's okay. If I were in your shoes, I would feel the same way!. Now, here you are, listening to this podcast and yet another nutrition expert is about to voice his protein opinion. How about this . . . I'll do my best to not instantly take a side and push my protein beliefs on you. Instead, we'll look at the two primary perspectives. With each perspective we'll examine a little of the reasoning behind that viewpoint and see if things make sense. After this background work, I'll share my opinion (my viewpoint) and then you can form your own opinion and approach, okay? Does that sound good? I hope so.

For most people, losing weight is not fun. It's something we feel like we HAVE to do. It's a source of stress, overwhelm, and sadly failure. Who would want to do that?! And this is why we often wait until we feel motivated again before starting another diet. We think we need motivation to be successful. BUT! The only reason we feel this way is because we're forcing it. Once we make the shift from forcing to choosing, we no longer need that flighty, here-today, gone-tomorrow feeling of motivation. Because we're doing what we WANT to do. We're CHOOSING things in our daily life that lead to weight loss … instead of forcing some miserable diet or exercise program. It's a beautiful place to be. In this episode, you'll learn more about all of that, plus I'm giving you 3 specific ways to make losing weight easier and more fun. These 3 tips can also help you experience more freedom and excitement with the whole weight loss process. 1: TWO FREE LESSONS: https://coreylittlecoaching.com/free 2: PURCHASE RISE NUTRITION PRODUCTSWebsite: https://challenge2rise.com/Smart Energy: https://challenge2rise.com/product/smart-energy/Elite Omega-3 on Amazon: https://a.co/d/3dgilSGEssential Nutrients on Amazon: https://a.co/d/6rcULakElite Nutrients on Amazon: https://a.co/d/duQn1TDFREE MENOPAUSE DOWNLOAD: http://coreylittlecoaching.com/menopause
