In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about how to navigate the weekend and how to stay on top of your goals. The weekend is extremely tough for nutrition. Your family and friends won't have the same goals as you. And that's okay. You are an adult and if you want to see progress, you need to put forward a conscious effort with your nutrition. It is not your job to make other people happy by overeating. You don't have to stuff yourself every weekend to have a great weekend. 1 on 1 fitness coaching - girskyfitness.com/conquer90 Instagram - instagram.com/vatcheshakarian

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche Podcast, I talk about weight loss plateaus, and also how to lose the weight and keep it off. If you are doing an unrealistic, unsustainable plan... you shouldn't expect to keep the weight off. If you are tired of being 'on' or 'off' a diet... you need to rethink your approach. You are not going to keep the weight off long term if you are trying to take shortcuts. If you want to stay fit, you will need to continue to do the same things you did to lose weight (portion control, exercise, sleep well, stay hydrated)

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about why it's so important to track your food and how it can help you see the results you deserve

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about my staple meals and snacks I enjoy when I am trying to lose body fat. To be frank, I enjoy similar meals year-round, but I just reduce my overall portions and reduce my snacking.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about the importance of tracking your food intake and what you can learn from it. Also, if you are someone who is NOT seeing results with their weight loss, it can be a great idea to track your food so you know how much / what you are eating. If you decide to rely on your memory, it's going to be hard to remember what you ate. Tracking your food takes 10-15 minutes out of your day, but it helps take the guesswork out of your nutrition. If you understand how many calories you are eating, you can make adjustments and see results.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about why you shouldn't rely on motivation for fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about the importance of getting quality sleep.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about why you should lift weights and why it's normal to be intimidated by it. Lifting weights has so many benefits and I want you to reap those benefits, but if you are just doing cardio, you are not going to see the results you want :)

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about how to lose weight AND keep it off (which doesn't come from being super restrictive and saying goodbye to everything fun) Fitness doesn't mean eating celery sticks all day and working out 7 days a week.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about why you shouldn't be labeling foods as good or bad. This can cause an unhealthy relationship with food, and if you are looking to lose weight AND keep it off in the long run... you want to make sure your relationship with food is at a good spot. If you are struggling with years or decades of yo yo dieting and trying different fad diets, it probably comes from being TOO RESTRICTIVE! If you are overly restrictive, no wonder you are bouncing from diet to diet.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about how you should view this fitness journey as a lifelong one instead of something you pick up for a few weeks and then drop.

Eating at night (and eating more than you plan to) is not uncommon, so don't beat yourself up about it. This is something I used to struggle with a lotttt, but hopefully the tips in this episode can help you minimize it. Eating at night is not inherently bad, but if you eat too many calories from it, it can stop you from seeing the progress you deserve to see.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about making small changes for fitness. So many times, we think of fitness as something that is restrictive, miserable, and daunting. But fortunately, it doesn't have to be like that. This fitness stuff can be simple, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy by any means. This stuff is hard, but you are capable of doing hard things. I want you to know that!! If you are struggling with getting started, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

If you are on a mission to become healthier, it's important to pick a routine that is REALISTIC and SUSTAINABLE. I know it's not glamorous to say you should take the slower route, but it's really important that you remember this: there is no finish line! there is no race to fitness and fat loss. If it takes you a bit longer to reach your goals, who cares. I want to make sure you not only lose weight but also keep it off! In order to do that, it comes down to creating healthy habits and eliminating poor ones. And that doesn't happen in a few weeks of cutting out carbs lol.

In this episode, I talk about some practical and useful tips on how to stay on track during the weekend with your eating. The weekends are extremely difficult when it comes to your diet and nutrition, and that's usually when it gets thrown out the window (been there, done that lol) But hopefully these simple and practical tips can help you get to where you want to be.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, Coach Vatche goes over the steps you should take after overeating. There are a lot of common mistakes people make after overeating, and I want to make sure you are not making the same mistakes I did when I first started out with fitness.

You can eat carbs and be healthy. You can eat carbs and still lose weight. I know it's been ingrained in you for years that you can't eat carbohydrates and lose weight at the same time...but you can! Just like any food out there, you should be mindful of your portion sizes. Too much of any food or nutrient is going to cause you to store body fat. That's from eating too many calories. That's not from a specific food.

This episode was all over the place, kinda. But in this episode, we will talk about the importance of setting up realistic expectations, doing something is better than nothing, and how to practice moderation in your diet.

A lot of things have end dates and deadlines. But with health and fitness, there is no finish line. When you give yourself a finish line, and a strict deadline to reach your goals, you are going to be bummed out and disappointed when you don't reach them in a certain amount of time. You shouldn't be viewing health and fitness as this thing that you pick up for a few weeks and then put it back in the closet to collect dust. Health and fitness is a lifelong journey, and it's a lifestyle change. When you view it like that, you are going to be more kind and forgiving to yourself going forward.

If you are seeking results with fat loss, or with muscle gain... you won't get there from solely relying on exercise and activity. If you want to start seeing results (losing fat, gaining muscle) then it is crucial that you have your diet and nutrition dialed in. You can exercise all you want, but if you aren't mindful of how much you are eating, you are going to spin your wheels and not get anywhere!

When it comes to fitness, you shouldn't be approaching it with that 'all or nothing' mindset that so many of you struggle with. You do NOT have to be perfect when it comes to fitness. You are a human being, you are going to slip up. Stop setting so many unrealistic expectations. Start small, and build upon it. You don't have to go from 0 to 100 overnight. That's how you get burned out and it makes you want to give up altogether.
