Episode 3489: Registered dietitian Leah Higl shares three simple ways to respond after going over your calorie budget, from doing nothing at all to gently spreading the difference across the rest of the week. She explains why one day of overeating rarely stalls weight loss and how a flexible approach protects both your progress and your sanity. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.idealnutrition.com.au/what-to-do-when-you-blow-your-calorie-budget/ Quotes to ponder: "Compensating by reducing your calories a lot the next day could lead to you being hungrier and more likely to end up eating more calories anyway." "It's more of an issue if that one day over the calorie budget turns into quite a few days over your calorie target." "In an ideal world, you would be following a plan that allows some flexibility such as an occasional relaxed or social meal or the ability to eat something to satisfy a craving whilst working towards your goal."

The Harvard longevity scientist tells Lewis comfort might be the thing quietly killing us. Constant food. No exercise. Never getting cold. All of it speeds up how fast the body breaks down. His research found something stunning. Calorie restriction alone can slow aging enough to add fifteen, maybe twenty five years. Lewis has his own proof it works outside a lab. A freezing hike up a mountain, wind whistling at sixty miles an hour, hands going numb through frozen gloves. He calls it life changing. Turns out the mind matters as much as the body here. What gets said out loud on that climb can decide whether the body pushes forward or shuts down. Discomfort, on purpose, might be the closest thing to a fountain of youth.

For those that struggle with calorie tracking adherence, this episode goes over how you can make it convenient, sustainable and as easy to stick to as possible. It touches on the benefit of meal prepping, different features you can utilise with the tracking apps, logging food ahead of schedule to ensure it gets done and more.
For many people, calorie counting starts with good intentions. But somewhere along the way, it stops being a helpful tool and becomes something else entirely. It becomes control. If you've ever felt guilty for eating over your calories, anxious about meals you couldn't track, or believed your day was "ruined" because you went over your target, this episode is for you. In this episode of the Shane Walsh Podcast, we explore why calorie counting isn't the problem—but using it to manage anxiety, self-worth, or control can quietly damage your relationship with food. Calorie tracking can be incredibly effective when it's used with purpose. But if your confidence, mood, or self-worth depends on hitting a number every day, it's time to ask a different question. Are you tracking your food… Or is your food tracking you? Online Coaching www.shanewalshfitness.com/onlinecoaching

In aflevering 212 bespreken we cheatdays: dagen waarop je compleet losgaat met eten. Ken je dat gevoel? “Ik heb vanochtend al een croissantje gegeten, dus vandaag maakt het toch niet meer uit.” Of: “Het is weekend, ik mag nu genieten.” Mr. Food Coach laat zien hoe véél te veel calorieën op één dag je progressie kunnen verpesten. We leggen uit waarom cheatdays vaak averechts werken én waarom je absoluut niet hoeft te stoppen met genieten van lekker eten om af te vallen. In de Calorie Challenge hoor je hoeveel calorieën (en hoeveel échte kaas) er in een fles cheddarsaus zit. En in de luisteraarsvraag bespreken we hoe je ervoor zorgt dat je voldoende water drinkt.Hoe goed is jouw voedingskennis?

Calorie deficits aren't complicated, but most women have been taught to approach them in a way that works against them. In this episode, Jen unpacks how your body really burns energy (hint: your workout is a much smaller piece of it than you think), why the "fat burning zone" on cardio machines isn't the hack it's marketed as, and why so many women end up exhausted, under-recovered, and stuck despite doing everything "right." She explains the difference between losing weight and actually changing your body composition, why building muscle is the key to the toned, defined look most women are chasing, and how to build a deficit that lets you eat enough, train hard, and still see real results, without hating the process.

Understanding calorie deficits, maintenance, and build phases is one thing.But… knowing how to move between them? That's what actually creates lasting results!Too many women bounce from one extreme to the next, wondering why they're stuck in the same cycle. Every nutrition phase has a purpose, and learning how to transition intentionally can completely change your progress.In this episode, I break down exactly how to move from a calorie deficit into maintenance, what accidental maintenance vs. intentional maintenance looks like, how to build muscle without overdoing it, and more. The goal isn't to jump from one extreme to another - it's to make small, intentional adjustments that your body can actually sustain.Remember, your fitness journey shouldn't be built around constantly starting over. It should be built around understanding what phase you're in, WHY you're there, and where you're headed next!Episode recap:How to confidently move between a calorie deficit, maintenance & build phaseHow to transition from fat loss into maintenance without losing your progressAccidental maintenance vs. intentional maintenanceHow to enter a build phase to support muscle growth without overdoing itHow to know when you're truly ready for another fat-loss phaseMaking intentional decisions (not emotional ones) w/your nutrition phasesHow to avoid common mistakes like chronic dieting, fearing maintenance & changing calories too quicklyWhy consistency and patience will always beat starting over every MondayLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!Fat loss always comes down to being in a calorie deficit, but that doesn't mean everyone responds to dieting the same way.In this episode, I explain why women often have a larger stress response to calorie deficits and what that can look like during a fat loss phase. I'll also cover why pushing harder isn't always the answer and how your starting point, recovery, training, and nutrition can all play a role in your results.If you've ever felt like fat loss gets harder the longer you diet or wondered why the same approach works for some people but not others, this episode will help you understand what's happening and what you can do differently.Let's talk about:Body Recomp Workshop ReplayWhy Women Have a Larger Stress Response to Calorie DeficitsWhy Traditional Dieting Can Backfire Signs Your Body Is Under Too Much Stress During Fat LossWhy Larger Calorie Deficits Aren't Always BetterWhy Body Fat Levels Matter During Fat LossWhy Spending Less Time Dieting Can Improve ResultsLifestyle Habits That Help Reduce StressWhy Weight Fluctuations Happen During Fat LossWhy Diet Quality Matters During a DeficitManaging Training Volume and IntensityHow Fat Loss Differs Between Men and WomenKey Takeaways and Final Thoughts Body Recomp Workshop Replay: https://chipper-producer-6244.kit.com/e0ad63a2b2Follow me on Instagram for more information and education:https://www.instagram.com/jeffhoehn_/?hl=enHow You Can Work With Me?: https://jhhealth.net/workwithme/Coaching application:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfE-99wLDZRXlOOY1pWuAmkogdZOm-7ZvN_thbqNWLdNrj5bg/viewform

Most of us treat fat loss as a subtraction problem. Eat less, move more, lose weight.Energy balance (calories in calories out) is definitely real, so that holds at the top level when it comes to pure weight loss.The trouble is that "eat less" is often done restrictively, often leads to even LESS protein, nutrient, and fiber intake, and often done at a rapid pace, any of which cause you to lose muscle, energy, get hungrier, and all the other things that ultimately make you quit (or gain he weight back).This episode goes deeper than calories to the power of... protein! Protein does not behave like the rest of your calories. It costs more to digest, though that effect is smaller than people claim. It is also the most filling thing you can eat, and I get into a study where people dropped hundreds of calories a day on their own, without being told to, just from eating more of it. That is the real lever, and why eating more can make you leaner even when you are not "trying" to push an aggressive calorie deficit.Then there is the claim that you can eat unlimited extra protein and still lose weight and body fat, so we'll examine that nutrient partitioniong claim. I also discuss daily protein targets, what to do if you're already leaner, and a 30-second way to think about the scale that explains how your body can change while the number stays flat.Try my favorite custom protein!

You've heard it before: "The only way to lose weight is a calorie deficit." And while that statement is technically true, it's also one of the most oversimplified pieces of fitness advice on the internet.In this episode, I'm breaking down what a calorie deficit actually is, why it's not as simple as "eat less and move more," and why some women may need to focus on maintenance calories before worrying about fat loss.If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or confused about why eating less isn't working anymore, this episode is for you.In this episode, we cover:What a calorie deficit actually is and how it worksWhy fat loss requires a calorie deficit - but that doesn't mean starvationWhy "eat less, move more" isn't always helpful adviceHow your starting point determines your fat-loss approachWhen maintenance calories may be more beneficial than a deficitWhat reverse dieting is and who it may helpHow calorie deficits connect to body recompositionSigns your calorie deficit may be too aggressiveLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterSHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Today we're talking about ways to move away from tracking all of our food! The pros, cons, ups, downs and thing we wanna think about when doing so
Everyone's so busy telling you to stop restricting that nobody's giving you permission to just... have standards.This episode is about being intentional with your food — not in arules-based, diet-culture way, but in the way that a woman who has their sh.t together. Being picky isn't a red flag. It's a strategy. And once you figure out what clears the bar for you — the mental debate mostly disappears.We cover:• The calorie budget analogy and why it changes how you think about food choices• My personal "not worth it" list — and why having one makes life easier• Why this is NOT restriction (and the hair dye analogy that makes it click)• The flip side: what being picky frees you up to enjoy• How to build your own list so you stop having the same internal argument on repeat.If you've ever eaten something mediocre out of obligation andimmediately regretted it — this one is going to feel like a relief.Resources Mentioned:Not Another Diet Book:https://www.amazon.com/Not-Another-Diet-Book-learning/dp/B0B45Q4CLH/Schedule a Session: https://www.heathermaio.com/coaching-options
Old Grand-Dad is a titan among budget bourbons, known for its punchy, high-rye mash bill. But the brand is evolving. In this episode, Jake and Scott dive into the deep history of Old Grand-Dad, tracing it from the 1800s through its current era under the Jim Beam umbrella.We explore the expanded lineup, from the standard 7-year bottled-in-bond to ultra-premium, age-stated releases like the rare 16-year. The core of this discussion, however, centers on the beloved 114 proof and the launch of the new signed single barrel variant. Can aging hide the signature OGD profile? Does Beam's extensive line expansion threaten its core brands?We break down tasting notes, discuss warehouse terroir, and offer recommendations for all levels of bourbon explorers navigating this crowded, complex market.
If you're scared that building muscle will make you bulky, but you're also frustrated that dieting harder still isn't giving you the lean, defined look you want… this episode is the mindset shift.In this episode, we're talking about the difference between losing weight and actually building a body that looks lean, strong and shaped.Because if you're training hard, eating low calories, avoiding carbs, doing more cardio, chasing more control, and still feeling soft or stuck, the answer probably isn't “diet harder.”It might be that you're under-fuelled, under-recovered, practising the wrong things, and expecting your body to perform without giving it what it needs to build.We cover:• why building muscle does not mean getting bulky• why carbs matter for training performance, muscle, energy and body recomposition• why low calories can make you feel like you're working hard but not actually progressing• the difference between scale weight and how your body looks, feels and performs• why the basics work — but only if you stop getting bored of them• why getting lean is not just about shrinking, it's about building enough muscle to create shapeThis is for the woman who wants to look lean, toned and defined — but is tired of living like fat loss is the only answer.Find me on Instagram: @transformxruby
In this fascinating episode of the Optimal Protein Podcast, Vanessa Spina is joined by Dr. Fernando Naclerio, Professor in Strength Training and Sports Nutrition at the University of Greenwich and Centre Lead for the Centre for Exercise Activity and Rehabilitation. Vanessa and Dr. Naclerio dive into a brand new meta-analysis comparing higher-carb and lower-carb diets when calories and protein are matched. While both approaches improved body composition, the low-carb diets produced greater reductions in fat mass, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and triglycerides, along with increases in HDL. This conversation explores why not all weight loss is fat loss — and why consuming too many carbohydrates during a calorie deficit may, in certain conditions, shift the body toward burning more lean mass instead of body fat.

Are you asking ChatGPT, AI, or an online calculator how many calories your gymnast needs?It might seem like a simple question.But when it comes to pediatric and adolescent gymnasts, calorie needs are anything but simple.In this episode, Christina continues her four-part series on what ChatGPT and AI do not know about your gymnast's nutrition, and today's focus is calorie needs.Because while AI can give you a polished answer, a number, or even a full meal plan, it cannot accurately assess what your gymnast's body actually needs based on growth, puberty, training volume, recovery, injury status, health history, and where they are in their season.And for gymnasts, this matters.A young gymnast training 20 to 30 hours a week may need more nutrition than a parent, sibling, coach, or another athlete their age, even if they are smaller in size.Because calorie needs are not determined by body size alone.They are determined by what your gymnast's body is being asked to do: grow, develop, repair, recover, and adapt to training.In this episode, Christina breaks down why calorie needs are so hard to estimate, why hunger is not always a reliable sign of whether your gymnast is eating enough, and why online calculators and AI tools often miss the bigger picture.Because your gymnast's body is not a math problem.It is a growing, developing athlete with dynamic needs that change across growth spurts, puberty, training seasons, injury recovery, and daily life.In this episode, we cover:❗ Why AI and online calculators cannot accurately determine your gymnast's calorie needs❗ Why calorie needs are dynamic and change throughout the year❗ Why two gymnasts of the same age, size, and training level can still need very different amounts of food❗ Why “my gymnast is small, so she must not need much food” is a dangerous myth❗ Why hunger cues can become suppressed when a gymnast is under-fueled❗ Why many gymnasts need to eat even when they are not hungry❗ How growth, puberty, training volume, recovery, injury status, and daily movement impact nutrition needs❗ Why basic metabolism is only one part of the equation❗ Why recovery requires fuel for up to 48 hours after training❗ How under-fueling can show up as fatigue, injury, headaches, dizziness, poor recovery, delayed puberty, stalled skills, low motivation, anxiety, and emotional shutdowns❗ Why slowed growth or delayed development can be a sign your gymnast is not getting enough nutrition❗ Why calorie targets alone do not tell the full story❗ What parents should look at instead of asking, “How many calories does my gymnast need?”AI may be able to generate a number.But it cannot evaluate your gymnast's growth chart, training demands, puberty status, injury history, recovery, mental health, performance, and fueling patterns the way an experienced pediatric and adolescent sports dietitian can.Your gymnast does not need a generic calorie target.They need enough nutrition to support everything their body is trying to do: grow, develop, repair, recover, stay healthy, and get stronger from the work they are putting in.And that requires individualized support, not an online calculator.Links & ResourcesThe Balanced Gymnast® Program (Level 5–10)Connect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist christinaandersonrdn.com
In this episode of Life Rewired, Kristina breaks down one of the most underutilized nutrition strategies for women who want to lose fat without feeling like they are constantly restricting. She explains the difference between calorie cycling and carb cycling, how each one works physiologically, and why varying your intake across the week is far more effective and sustainable than eating the same number of calories every single day. Kristina walks through the science behind metabolic adaptation, leptin, insulin sensitivity, and hormonal health in a way that is easy to understand and actually apply to real life.Kristina also digs into the specific benefits of this approach for women, from protecting performance in the gym and supporting hormonal balance, to building the kind of flexibility that makes a nutrition plan something you can actually stick to long term. She shares her own personal experience with cycling her intake and how matching her food to her actual output changed everything for her energy, her workouts, and her results. Whether you are brand new to tracking macros or you have been in the nutrition game for years and feel like you have hit a wall, this episode gives you a fresh framework to work with.APPLY FOR 1:1 COACHING:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1srFPBIhQwnCw8uJ3qf-wjTDG-df62gM8hzfJkNwaJW4/preview BALANCED BLUEPRINT MEMBERSHIP:https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/balancedblueprintmembershipB&B NEWSLETTER/FREE FAT LOSS MASTERCLASS:https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197ccKRIS IG:https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=enTHE BLUEPRINT FOUNDATIONS COURSE:https://stan.store/KrisTurnure/p/the-blueprint-courseLIFE REWIRED IG:https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_linkNASH BARS:https://nashnutrition.co/PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT https://www.ptula.com/TRANSPARENT LABS: CODE KRISTINA https://athlete.transparentlabs.com/kristinaturnure

In this episode, Coach Mia shares the unsexy truth about fat loss: a productive deficit is often boring, predictable, and much more normal than the dramatic transformations you see online.She breaks down what you should actually expect during your first dieting phase, how to make the process feel easier, and why a little hunger isn't necessarily a sign that something is wrong.Because successful fat loss isn't about suffering, it's about setting realistic expectations and staying consistent long enough to see the results.As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.

The biological mechanisms our bodies use to regulate our weight likely evolved in the context of eating at least four or five pounds of food a day.
Full shownotes, transcript, and resources here: https://soundbitesrd.com/311 We hear a lot of bold claims about food and eating behavior: certain foods are "addictive," ultraprocessed foods are driving obesity, and eating something sweet only makes you crave more sweets. We're also told we can retrain our taste buds for things like salt and sugar, but is that really true? With the rise of GLP-1 medications and growing conversations around "food noise," it's becoming clear that appetite, cravings, and weight regulation are far more complex than many people realize. So what's really driving our eating behaviors? How much is shaped by biology versus our environment or psychology? And what factors influence hunger, fullness, food preferences, and ultimately—how much we eat? Tune in to this Sound Bites® Podcast episode with Dr. Rick Mattes to learn about: the concept of palatability and hyperpalatability the truth about "addictive" foods the role of appetite in GLP-1 medication effects the importance and generality of hedonic shifts various aspects of appetite regulation sensory science, taste function, texture and food form food noise vs. food cue reactivity brand new research on protein and satiety

That tells you something. You've actually been pretty good at losing weight. What you've never been good at is stopping the regain.In this episode, Chris breaks down the single biggest mistake people make when they decide to lose weight: jumping straight to the dieting before they've built the skills that make weight loss stick. Calorie tracking, food rules, GLP-1s — none of it matters if you haven't dealt with the lifestyle that produced the weight in the first place.Chris walks through the four foundational skills he now teaches before anyone in his program starts a deliberate calorie deficit — and explains why the people who skip this part end up right back where they started, sometimes heavier than before.In this episode:Why "weight loss" is the wrong problem to solveThe four skills you must master before dieting works long-termChoosing your food, choosing your volume, adjusting in real time, and saying noWhy GLP-1s work — and what happens to most people when they come offThe difference between saying no when you want to say no, and saying no when you want to say yesWhy three years to unlearn 40 years of conditioning is actually fastThe 10-year test: is this a lifestyle change or a dieting technique?How to tell whether you're dieting or actually changing your lifeProgramming note: The Becoming Thin Podcast is on an every-other-week schedule while Chris finishes building the Daily Coaching Program inside The Guild.Try the free Kickstart Course: https://becomingthin.comJoin The Guild of Champions: https://imnotquitting.com

You are not eating because you are hungry. You are eating because you have been trained to, and the food industry designed it that way. This episode dismantles everything you thought you knew about hunger, weight loss, and metabolism, and gives you a science-backed framework to finally stop fighting your own biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jason Fung, a New York Times bestselling author, practicing nephrologist, and one of the most trusted voices in functional medicine and metabolic health. Dr. Fung completed medical school at the University of Toronto and a fellowship in nephrology at Stanford University. He is the author of multiple critically acclaimed books including The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, and his newest release The Hunger Code, and is the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program designed to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes through fasting and real food nutrition. His work has helped millions break free from calorie restriction dogma for good. Together, Dave and Dr. Fung expose the three types of hunger driving the obesity epidemic, why calorie restriction fails almost every time, and what ultra-processed foods actually do to your brain's reward system. They get into the real science of fasting, metabolism, hormonal signaling, GLP-1 drugs, food addiction, conditioned eating behavior, and how your physical environment is quietly sabotaging your results. If you are serious about biohacking your hunger, optimizing your body composition, and taking control of your biology without white-knuckling willpower, this episode delivers the tools you need. This is essential listening for anyone focused on biohacking, longevity, human performance, fasting, metabolism, anti-aging, sleep optimization, brain optimization, functional medicine, and eating smarter not harder. You'll Learn: Why calorie restriction fails and what actually controls how much you eat The three types of hunger: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned, and how each one drives overeating How ultra-processed foods hijack your dopamine system and destroy satiety signals Why wiring your jaw shut or cutting your stomach still does not produce long-term weight loss What GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic actually reveal about hunger, metabolism, and the body fat thermostat How conditioned hunger works like Pavlov's dogs and practical strategies to reverse it The role of your physical environment in controlling food noise and cravings Why food addiction is real, and which foods are engineered to keep you hooked How fasting resets hunger signals, improves metabolic flexibility, and supports ketosis The mindset shift that makes healthy eating feel effortless instead of like deprivation Thank you to our sponsors! - OneSkin | Get 15% off OneSkin with code DAVE at oneskin.co/DAVE. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss with www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - Our Place | Stop cooking with toxic cookware and upgrade to Our Place today.
