Podcasts about fat loss

Before you jump into another fat loss phase… I want us to pause for a second. Because if dieting has "almost worked" for you the last five years… why do you feel like you need to start over again? In this Fit Girl Magic podcast episode, I'm calling out one of the biggest midlife mistakes I see on repeat: Most women don't have a fat loss problem. They have a readiness problem. You might be sitting there thinking — WTF does that even mean? Stick with me. Because it's not about how bad you "want" fat loss. Let's be honest, who doesn't? But here's what nobody's talking about: forcing a perma-diet when your body is already tapped out isn't discipline. It's just making things worse. Your body might just need a breather before it can actually do the thing you're asking it to do. If you've been running on fumes by mid-afternoon, white-knuckling your hunger, mentally negotiating every bite, or doing all the "right" things and somehow still feeling like garbage… this episode is your permission slip to stop pushing and start getting strategic. I'm talking about how to actually tell where your body is at and whether it's time to push, pull back, or just hold the line. Because fat loss in the wrong season doesn't just not work. It keeps you stuck in the same loop year after year. You are not broken. Your timing might just be off. In This Episode We Get Into: Why wanting it badly isn't your problem, the sneaky signs your body is running on empty, my 5-question gut check so you can stop guessing, why maintenance is actually a skill (and why it matters more than you think), and the 3-gear strategy that changes everything: Push, Pull Back, or Hold the Line. Sometimes the most strategic move isn't doing more. It's doing less, on purpose. Ready to Figure Out Where You're At? I made a quiz for exactly this moment:

If you want to lose fat and keep it off, you need to diet differently.In this episode we are talking about how to create a smart, sustainable fat loss phase that sets you up for success when it's time to move into maintenance.No more extreme deficits, all-or-nothing spirals, or punishment-based thinking. This is how to pursue fat loss without losing your mind — and without regaining it all back later.You'll learn:Why your deficit doesn't need to be extreme to workHow to track your progress without obsessing over the scaleThe importance of daily weigh-ins (and how to read the trends)Why you should never “go harder” to make up for a rough dayHow to build habits during your diet that make maintenance feel naturalResources & Links:Not Another Diet Book – Your no-BS guide to sustainable fat loss, food freedom, and building habits that stickhttps://www.amazon.com/Not-Another-Diet-Book-learning/dp/B0B45Q4CLH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1656499379&sr=8-1Book a 1:1 Coaching Session – Personalized support for your strength and mindset journeyhttps://www.heathermaio.com/coaching-options

No one prepares you for how different your body feels after having kids... you're exhausted, your hormones are all over the place, and the weight just won't budge like it used to. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reasons postpartum fat loss feels so hard: shifting hormones, sleep deprivation tanking your hunger cues, muscle loss during pregnancy, and the survival mode of under-eating while juggling a million things. As a pre and postnatal fitness coach, I want to remind you that your body is healing and rushing the process will only make it harder. I'll walk you through the core pillars that actually work so you can feel like YOU again.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, Olivia Hill discusses the multifaceted approach to fat loss, emphasizing that it is not solely about tracking macros but involves understanding metabolism, hormones, stress, sleep, and behavior. She highlights the importance of faith in the journey and offers practical strategies for achieving sustainable results. Olivia encourages listeners to view their health journey as one filled with purpose and hope, rather than just a struggle with numbers.

Today I'm breaking down the plans and protocols we have in place for one of my current clients who, right now, is working towards fat loss for some small body composition goals, but more importantly, to spend the majority of this year, competing in a weight-class sport... Strong man!

After overhearing a coach promote fasting as a miracle method and claiming women “should” fast because of their cycle..well.. this episode breaks down the reality. We unpack why fasting isn't magic, how it actually works (calorie deficit), why skipping breakfast can backfire for career-driven women, and why fuelling your day properly leads to better performance, fewer cravings, and more sustainable fat loss.

What's up guys! Today we're diving into maintenance, and why it's actually harder than the fat loss phase. I always say we don't have a weight loss problem, we have a weight maintenance problem. So if you have ever dieted and lost the weight only to regain it, or maybe you've done that multiple times like me, this episode is for you!Apply for coaching Join the Monthly Membership HAPI supplementsThe EmPowered Community free Facebook group Follow Emma on InstagramFollow Emma on Facebook

Fasted training is one of the most persistent fat-loss myths—and in this episode, Dr. Katie Hirsch breaks down what actually matters for women: training quality, muscle preservation, and metabolic health. We unpack why "burning more fat during a workout" is often the wrong target, and how a small amount of protein (or EAAs) before training can change perceived exertion, improve workout output, and potentially increase post-workout energy expenditure—especially in women who are prone to under-fueling. We also dive into muscle quality (not just muscle size), why it matters for insulin sensitivity and body composition, and what changes in peri/post-menopause can mean for amino acid delivery to muscle—and how to train and eat to stay lean, strong, and metabolically resilient.

If you've ever felt like your body is fighting you no matter how “perfect” your nutrition or workouts are, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Today, I'm sitting down with Soraya Rufener, one of our coaches at Vital Spark, to share the story behind the safety, trust, and results her clients feel from day one. Soraya isn't just highly credentialed as a registered nurse and functional health coach. She's lived through chronic dieting, body distrust, and the exhausting pressure to always “do more.” She started dieting at 13, spent years stuck in restriction cycles, and did everything diet culture promised would work. And yet, nothing was actually healing.In this conversation, we unpack why willpower wasn't the problem, how postpartum healing changed everything, and what rebuilding a body really requires physically, mentally, and emotionally. Soraya shares the moment she stopped punishing her body and learned how to support it instead. We talk about why healing is layered, why consistency matters more than intensity, and how nervous system safety changes outcomes. She also opens up about how her lived experience reshaped the way she coaches postpartum moms and high-achieving women today. Most importantly, we explore what she refuses to repeat from diet culture—and why coaching women differently matters. If you're exhausted, frustrated, or quietly wondering why nothing seems to work anymore, this episode will remind you that you're not broken.You're unsupported. Time Stamps: (1:17) Our Incredible Coach Soraya (6:02) Early Teen Soraya (9:17) Finding Bodybuilding (15:02) The Food Noise (17:09) Shifting To The Healing Phase (19:55) The Mental Side of Healing (22:47) 3 Kids In 4 Years and The Postpartum Journey (31:23) Our Bodies Aren't The Enemy (34:15) Where To Find Soraya---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Sometimes I get questions about registration…Do I sign up for the regular FASTer Way to Fat Loss class, or do I want the VIP membership? And I totally understand the confusion. A lot of programs have a basic entry option and then a VIP version with bells and whistles layered on top. That's not the case with our VIP program. So in today's episode I want to walk you through exactly what VIP membership with the FASTer Way is, how it works, and what you can expect — so you can register confidently and understand the value your coach brings to both options. Because at age 50 and beyond, we aren't after quick fixes and fast regains. We are looking for healthy lifestyle tweaks to get to and stay at a healthy weight goal long term.  Think of this episode as an orientation day at school. We're going to walk the campus together and I'll show you what life looks like inside VIP. Who knows?

If you're in midlife and suddenly feel like fat loss has become harder overnight, despite training, eating well, and doing what used to work, this episode is for you. Today I'm joined by Bill Campbell, PhD to unpack what the research actually shows about menopause, body composition, and “weight loss resistance”. We explore why some women gain body fat during this transition while others don't, why hormone therapy isn't a guaranteed fix, and the small but powerful lifestyle factors (movement, sleep, protein) that can quietly shift results. This is a practical, evidence-based conversation for women who lift, care about their health, and want clarity; not clichés. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Why menopause-related fat gain doesn't happen to everyone • The 2–3 year window where body fat gain seems most likely • Why hormone therapy helps some women but not others • How daily movement (NEAT) drops in midlife without you noticing • The difference between training for muscle vs strength • Why lifting shouldn't be treated as “calorie-burning cardio” • How much protein is actually supported by research (and why many women under-eat it) • Why poor sleep can create real weight-loss resistance • Whether fasted training makes any difference for body composition TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Menopause Weight Gain: Why It Happens to Some Women (But Not All) 03:41 Can Hormone Therapy Reverse Menopause Weight Gain? 10:23 DEXA vs InBody in Midlife: What My Results Revealed (And Why It Matters) 15:29 What Is the Final Menstrual Period (FMP) & When Is Fat Gain Most Likely? 20:46 Midlife Fat Gain & NEAT: The Activity Decline No One Notices 25:29 “I Just Have a Slow Metabolism” — Is Body Type to Blame? 28:02 Should You Lift Heavy or Light? The Truth About Reps, Fat Loss & Muscle 34:26 How Much Protein Do Midlife Women Actually Need? 40:11 Sleep Deprivation and Fat Gain: Can Poor Sleep Cause Weight-Loss Resistance? 46:02 Protein Timing vs Total Daily Intake: What Matters Most? 48:26 Fasted Workouts: Helpful or Harmful in Midlife?

In today's episode, we talk through some of the most common (and most misunderstood) questions we hear around training, nutrition, and recovery - especially when performance goals like half marathon training are on the table. We dig into how to balance running with strength training, why recovery and fueling matter more than people think, and why trying to chase fat loss during intense training is usually a losing game.We also zoom out and get practical: separating movement from weight loss, understanding how your body actually burns energy (hello, TDEE), and clearing up gym confusion around split squats, wedges, and those mysterious acronyms like RPE and RIR. If you've ever wondered whether you're training “hard enough,” overthinking calories burned, or feeling stuck in the gym, this episode is for you.If you've been trying to “do it all” with your training, this is your reminder to pick a lane, fuel your body, and train with intention.“Muscles don't know reps or sets. They know stimulus, tension, and fatigue - and they respond to it.”- Amy Rudolph“Running is a performance sport. You need fuel for that. Fat loss is the opposite of that.”- Iris DeadliftsThis week on Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:How many strength training days actually make sense during half marathon trainingThe problem with mixing fat loss goals into intense endurance trainingThe truth about steps, calories burned, and why exercise isn't the driver of fat lossA simple breakdown of TDEE: BMR, NEAT, TEF, and where exercise really fitsSplit squats vs. Bulgarian split squats (and how to modify them without shame)What RPE and RIR actually mean - and how to use them to build real strengthConnect with Us:Iris Deadlifts on InstagramAmy Rudolph on InstagramWork with us at Beth Feraco FitnessThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

Are you working out consistently but not seeing results? In this episode of the Co-Movement Gym Podcast, Andrew breaks down the top five fitness mistakes that prevent people from gaining strength, building muscle, losing fat, and improving mobility.With over 30 years of experience and hundreds of clients coached, Andrew shares the most common issues he sees in the gym: lack of intensity, poor exercise form, abandoning the basics too soon, inconsistent training frequency, and neglecting cardio for fat loss and long-term health.If you want to build muscle faster, improve strength, lose body fat, and train smarter—not just harder—this episode gives you practical advice you can apply immediately.Chapters00:00 – Why You're Not Seeing Results01:17 – Mistake #1: Lack of Intensity10:30 – Mistake #2: Poor Form & Limited Range of Motion16:39 – Mistake #3: Boredom with the Basics22:15 – Mistake #4: Lack of Training Frequency26:10 – Mistake #5: Skipping Cardio (Zone 2 for Fat Loss & Health)30:00 – Recap: The 5 Keys to Gym SuccessThe Co-Movement Gym Podcast is supported by Native Path Supplements and Lombardi Chiropractic.

You're eating “healthy.”You're exercising.You're trying harder than ever…So why is your body STILL holding on to fat?If you're a woman over 40 and the scale won't move (even though you feel like you've done everything), this episode will change how you see your body, and your weight loss struggle, forever.Because what if the reason you're stuck isn't calories… and it isn't “lack of willpower”… and it isn't that you're broken…What if your body doesn't feel safe?In this episode, I'm joined by Brooke Kane (Registered Nurse + Functional Medicine Practitioner) who helps women over 40 heal gut issues and uncover the hidden root causes behind stubborn weight gain.We unpack the truth most weight loss plans ignore:✅ Why your nervous system is quietly blocking fat loss ✅ How gut dysfunction can stop you absorbing the nutrients you need to burn fat ✅ Why stress and “trying harder” actually makes weight loss harder after 40 ✅ The real reason belly fat shows up during perimenopause ✅ Why your symptoms aren't random — they're signals ✅ What to focus on first if you want your body to finally respond againIf you're a high-achieving woman who's used to pushing through… but your body is no longer responding to force…This conversation is your wake-up call.This is not about eating less. It's not about punishing workouts. And it's not about blaming your hormones.It's about working with your body so weight loss becomes a natural response again.Brook's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/theibssolution/Brook's Website:https://www.therootedrn.com/Watch my The Cravings & Fat-Burning Masterclass:  https://www.neverdietagainmethod.uk/register-podcastFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/max.lowery/Book a Food Freedom Breakthrough Call: https://www.neverdietagainmethod.uk/call-ig

Is fasting really the best way to lose fat — or is there a smarter, more strategic approach? In this masterclass episode, Vanessa introduces a powerful new concept: Protein Fasting — a structured approach using PSMF (Protein-Sparing Modified Fast) days to optimize fat loss, suppress appetite naturally, protect muscle, and potentially tap into fasting-like cellular signaling.

Build muscle, lose fat, and get stronger with daily personalized guidance. —Why does “just eat in moderation” fail so often? Why do binge eating and emotional eating feel stronger than your willpower? I'm joined by psychologist and former food industry insider Dr. Glenn Livingston to break down what's actually happening in your brain. We unpack the neuroscience of cravings and why a healthy brain can struggle in a hyperpalatable food environment. You'll learn how food cues override hunger signals and quietly sabotage your nutrition and fitness goals. If you want to build muscle, lose fat, or improve body recomp, you need to understand why rigid calorie cutting and relying on willpower almost always backfire. That's why we talk about engineering your environment instead of fighting yourself. We focus on structure, clear food rules, and reducing decision fatigue so you're not negotiating with cravings all day. You'll walk away with evidence-based strategies that make sustainable weight loss possible without constant mental friction.Today, you'll learn all about:0:00 – What cravings really are6:25 – What causes cravings13:25 – Managing triggers and food cues21:29 – Extinction bursts explained30:45 – Rules vs willpower39:48 – Identity and habit engineering51:50 – Free resources to defeat cravingsEpisode resources:Free Book (and bonuses): Defeat Your Cravings - The Back Door to Weight LossFacebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550719047966LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drglennlivingston YouTube: @DefeatYourCravings

n this episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson breaks down new research on resistance training and fat loss. He reviews a recent study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology and connects it to over a decade of evidence on how strength training influences body composition.Luke explains why the goal of weight loss should be fat loss—not just a lower number on the scale—and how resistance training helps preserve or increase lean muscle while maximizing fat reduction. He also explores the critical role of abdominal fat in cardiometabolic risk and what the latest findings reveal about reducing central obesity.If you want to understand the science behind “high-quality weight loss” and why lifting weights is essential for long-term health and weight maintenance, this episode delivers the key takeaways.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

In this episode, I explain why the scale doesn't always reflect true fat loss, even when you're executing perfectly. I break down six common reasons your weight can fluctuate, from menstrual cycles and sodium to stress, travel, and body recomposition. My goal is to help you use the scale as a tool, not let it define you.   Chapters: 0:06 Why The Scale Doesn't Tell The Full Story 1:29 The Negative Scale Spiral And Emotional Overcorrection 3:00 Reason 1: Time Of The Month And Hormonal Water Retention 4:27 Reason 2: Muscle Gain And Body Recomposition 6:54 Reason 3: Constipation, Fiber And Digestive Impact 9:30 Reason 4: Sodium Intake And Water Fluctuations 11:03 Reason 5: Stress, Cortisol And Life Load 14:12 Reason 6: Flights, Shift Work And Travel Retention 16:51 The Three Types Of Scale Responders 18:48 Built For Life Newsletter Announcement   Next steps: 1) Book a 1-1 strategy session with my team to find out more: https://www.rntfitness.com/applynow  2) Take our free transformation quiz: https://www.rntfitness.com/transform  3) Rate your current health: https://scorecard.rntfitness.com/health    Subscribe to the Built for Life newsletter: https://built-for-life.beehiiv.com/subscribe   Twice a week emails designed for high performers and busy professionals who want to look good, feel great and perform at their best.   Follow RNT Fitness: Website - http://www.rntfitness.com  LinkedIn - https://uk.linkedin.com/company/rnt-fitness  Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/rnt_fitness    Follow Akash: LinkedIn - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/akash-vaghela  Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/akashvaghela YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@akash_vaghela

Have you ever had one of those moments where you step on the scale after a holiday weekend… and you're like—“Bro… WHAT happened?”And immediately your brain starts negotiating.“I'll start Monday.” “I'll do extra cardio.” “I'm not eating carbs for a week.” “I'm gonna punish myself in the gym.”And the wild part is… most people think the problem was one meal.But it's almost never one meal.It's a pattern. It's a combo. It's a perfect storm that shows up during holidays, vacations, and special events—when your routine gets disrupted and your environment turns into a snack buffet.And if you don't know what that storm is… you're going to keep repeating it every single year.So in this episode, I'm going to break down what I call the Holy Trinity of Fat Gain—the 3 things that almost always show up together… and why avoiding that trio is the difference between enjoying your life and staying on track… versus falling into that “I lost everything” mindset.And then I'm giving you a simple, no-stress game plan—so you can fill your social bucket, live your life, enjoy the food… and come out the other side without needing a “reset.”Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

If you eat healthy foods but are struggling to see the scale move, today's episode is for you. The reality is… healthy eating and wholesome food choices are important. But you know what's equally, if not more, important if you want to lose fat? Eating in a calorie deficit so you're communicating to your body to release fat, use it as fuel, and ultimately lose weight. That's why on today's episode, I'm sharing 7 easy food swaps to help you save calories if your goal is fat loss. One of the simplest ways to approach fat loss without overthinking everything is to look at how you're eating now and make small, strategic swaps that don't feel depriving but still move you closer to your goals. If you're ready to see the scale move and body fat visibly decrease, you're going to love these easy food swaps. In some cases, you may not even notice you're saving calories while still supporting fat loss. Get started with our 30 Day Fat Loss Plan HERE.

Today's lesson is a BIG one. It starts with a history lesson of the previous 2 decades of governmental guidelines on nutrition because, for the first time, America's dietary guidelines finally reflect what research and America's obesity problem have been reflecting all along:  whole foods are what we should be eating for health and weight maintenance AND ultra processed foods with lots of grains, sugars, and carbs, have been keeping us sick and fat.  It's not just about calories. It's not about willpower.  The problem has been the food recommendations — and especially highly processed foods — all along. Stay tuned to be educated and motivated on what you should be eating for health and fat loss!  Join my next FASTer Way to Fat Loss® class for women 50+ here: https://www.fasterwaycoach.com/AMYBRYAN  Join my Jan. 16-20 Cortisol Reset week for only $20 here: https://fasterwaycoach.com/cortisol-reset?aid=AMYBRYAN
