Stop Tracking Calories to Lose Weight   Food Freedom Mindset Series What if calorie tracking isn't actually solving your weight loss problem...but creating a new one? In this episode, Nicole Ternay challenges the idea that you need to count calories, track food, and constantly monitor what you eat to lose weight. She dives into the psychology behind calorie counting, why tracking can create a lack of self-trust, and what it really takes to develop freedom around food. If you're tired of thinking about food all day, relying on an app to tell you what you can eat, or feeling like you're constantly trying to control yourself, this episode will give you a very different way to think about weight loss. It's time to stop asking, "How can I track better?" and start asking, "How can I trust myself?" ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR WEIGHT LOSS BREAKTHROUGH? If you've been listening to this podcast thinking, “Okay, I know what I need to do…so why the hell is it still so hard?” That's exactly why I created The 12-Week Jumpstart. This isn't another diet. I'm not handing you a meal plan and telling you to try harder. We're going underneath the weight. We're looking at the patterns, habits, emotions and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck...and changing the way you relate to yourself so you can finally create results that actually last. You'll get 12 weeks of coaching with me, weekly live group calls, two private sessions with me, lifetime access to the program, and a small group of women who are ready to do this differently. And yes, weight loss can absolutely happen….when I have run this program in the past people have lost 9-23 pounds but the average woman lost 17. But the bigger goal? To change the woman who has been struggling with her weight...so you don't have to keep struggling with it.

Lose 10-20 lbs In 8 weeks - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-1on1.html On today's episode I sit down with Sophie to talk about why up to 90% of people who lose weight end up gaining it back. I break down why it's not a willpower problem — it's a battery you're draining too fast — and give you the exact environment hacks, like the 24-hour rule, ordering the kids' meal, and setting drink limits, that actually keep the weight off for good. 90 Day Clubhouse Kickstart Program - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/clubhouse-page.htmlFree Calorie Calculator - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/free-calorie-calculator/Buy One, Get One 50% Off, Legion Athletic Supplements Code "ERIC" HERE - https://legionathletics.rfrl.co/qj2dyCheck out Marek Health at - https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf_marekhealth.html?ref=podcastYoutube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@ericrobertsfitnessVideo Podcast: - https://www.youtube.com/@EricRobertsFitnessPodcast

If I were a Christian woman wanting to lose weight, I wouldn't start with another diet.I'd start with my heart. Because you can lose the weight, hit your macros, eat “clean,” and crush your workouts—and still be completely consumed by your body.In this episode, we're talking about what biblical, practical fat loss can actually look like: prioritizing protein, strength training, nourishing instead of restricting, ditching comparison, practicing self-control, and getting honest about whether your health goals have quietly become an idol.You're allowed to want results.But your body was never meant to be your god, the scale was never meant to determine your worth, and food was never meant to be your comforter.Let's stop chasing smaller at all costs and start learning to steward what God entrusted to us.Join LWG Workout APP:  Here is my app where we will track our progress together, workout together with simple dumbbell workouts, become more disciplined in daily “holy habits”, grow in our nutritional knowledge & needs, & be encouraged by faith based motivation: CLICK HERE

You finally made time for the walk.But did you actually take the walk—or did you spend thirty minutes answering calls, replaying yesterday, planning tomorrow, and solving everybody else's problems?This month we've been talking about creating space for ourselves and our health. In this episode, Dr. Stacy takes that idea one step deeper: making the time is only half of it.Because you can be physically present and mentally somewhere else entirely.We're talking about the endless “browser tabs” running in our brains, decision fatigue, why healthy habits can still feel exhausting even when they're technically happening, and what changes when you allow your brain to actually be present during the time you've protected.Dr. Stacy also shares where she's working on this herself—especially her tendency to build schedules with absolutely no margin for “life to life”—and some of the simple ways she creates moments of presence through coffee outside, watering plants, walking without headphones, and putting the phone away.This isn't another thing to add to your to-do list.It's an invitation to actually experience some of the time you've worked so hard to create.And if this month's conversations about space have resonated with you, we're doing the deeper work around these ideas inside the SugarFreeMD membership. www.sugarfreemd.com/LSMFree 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

This is the very first episode of the Yummy Mummy podcast. And it might be the most important one.In this episode, Laura breaks down the one thing she wishes someone had told her during twenty years of dieting: calories in, calories out is not the answer. And the proof is that it hasn't worked — not permanently, not for you, not for anyone who's tried it long-term.What actually works is simpler, more sustainable, and has nothing to do with counting or tracking. Laura gives it to you straight in episode one — and it still holds up in 2026.We're bringing this one back to close out the summer because it's where everything starts. Hosted on Acast.

How can you track calories, pay attention to what you're eating and intentionally work toward weight loss without making your kids feel like they need to do the same? That's exactly what I'm addressing on today's episode after a listener asked how to pursue weight loss when you know little eyes are watching your every move. As a Dietitian and a mom, I think it's important to talk honestly about this. You should be mindful of how you talk about food, calories and your body around your children, but that doesn't mean you need to feel guilty for wanting to lose weight or work toward your own fitness goals. In this episode, I'm breaking down 3 things you can start doing today to pursue your own goals while still helping your children develop a positive relationship with food and their bodies. I'm also sharing my perspective on why wanting to lose fat does NOT automatically mean you're setting a bad example for your kids. We'll talk about how to be intentional about your own nutrition without making your goals your child's goals, what your kids are actually paying attention to, and what really matters when it comes to the example you're setting.

If you have been losing and gaining the same weight on repeat for years, I want to ask you something. Are you doing the same thing that created the cycle in the first place? Today I am breaking down exactly why you keep losing and gaining the same weight, and it is not because you lack willpower or because your body is broken.I am getting personal in this one, taking you back to my own yo-yo years from 15 to 19, the counting out 10 carrots, the intense BBG workouts, losing 10 pounds every summer like clockwork and gaining it right back every single time. I walk you through what is actually happening inside your metabolism during that cycle, why a severe calorie deficit gets read by your body as a famine, and why that response slows your metabolic rate, breaks down muscle, and ramps up your hunger hormones until the weight comes roaring back.We are getting into the three things your metabolism actually needs to break the cycle for good. Why eating more to lose more through something called reverse dieting works, why swapping cortisol-spiking cardio for strength training and walking changes everything, and why building something sustainable instead of something impressive is the only plan that actually lasts. I also share how this exact shift is what finally helped me lose 65 pounds and keep it off through two pregnancies, postpartum, and building a business.You have lost this weight before. The question was never whether you could lose it, it has always been whether you could keep it. This episode gives you the truth about what your metabolism actually needs so this can be the last time.xoxo,JackieMORE FROM JACKIE: >

But not because of your effort. Because estrogen was quietly running six systems that determine whether your body burns fat or stores it: inflammation, blood sugar, hunger, cortisol, muscle, and your liver.In this episode, Stephanie Crassweller, CEO of VitalityOET, breaks down exactly what happens to each of these systems when estrogen drops — and why your current fat loss strategy might be making all six worse.You will learn:Why low estrogen triggers chronic inflammation that locks out fat burningHow declining estrogen creates insulin resistance and blood sugar chaosWhy your hunger went haywire and it is not a self-control problemHow losing your estrogen cortisol buffer makes every stressor hit harderThe silent muscle loss that is tanking your metabolism (and what accelerates it)Why your liver is the most overlooked organ in fat lossThe exact 6-step order to reopen your fat-burning pathwaysIf you are doing all the right things and the scale will not budge — this is why.Links mentioned in the episode:

What if trying to follow your weight loss plan perfectly is actually making it harder to lose weight? So many women approach food like they're taking a test: eat the right thing, avoid the dessert, stay perfectly on plan…and whatever you do, don't mess up. Then one cookie, one birthday party, or one vacation happens and suddenly it feels like you've blown the whole thing. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're changing that conversation. I'm sharing the mindset shift that helps you move away from guilt, restriction, and starting over—and toward wisdom, stewardship, consistency, and freedom. We'll walk through a real-life birthday cake example using the mindset model and talk about how one new thought can completely change your actions around food. You'll also learn why developing a healthy habit and a new identity may be just as important as knowing what to eat when you want to lose weight, reduce stubborn belly fat, and take care of your changing midlife body. Ready to get rid of stubborn belly fat with support, accountability, and a plan for midlife?

So Why Can't I Lose Weight?“I really don't eat that much.”If you've said this—or thought it—while watching the scale refuse to budge, you're not alone. And you may be absolutely right.But what if the more important question isn't how much you're eating?What if it's something you haven't been paying attention to at all?In this episode of The Simplicity of Wellness Podcast, Amy shares an unexpected lesson from her recent vacation that completely changed the way she was thinking about hunger, appetite, and the eating patterns we often don't even realize we have.You'll discover why not feeling hungry very often isn't necessarily the same thing as having a calm appetite, why menopause and a “slow metabolism” may not tell the whole story, and what your body may be trying to tell you that you simply haven't been able to hear.And this isn't just an episode to listen to and forget.Amy gives you a specific 7-day appetite experiment you can start immediately to uncover what's actually happening between you, food, and hunger throughout your day.No calorie counting. No complicated diet rules. Just one week of paying attention in a very specific way.By the end of those seven days, you may finally have an answer to a question you've been asking for years:If I barely eat… why am I not losing weight?Listen before you decide your metabolism—or menopause—is the problem.Join Hangry to HealthyWebsite: The Simplicity of WellnessTransformation Starts Here: Schedule Your ConsultFollow Me on TikTokFollow Me on Instagram

Ever tried everything to lose weight—and I mean everything—and still felt stuck? If you're burned out from tracking, restricting, and trying to be “good,” this episode is going to feel like a big deep breath.Today, I'm joined by my amazing client Terri, who shares her story of losing 38 pounds after surviving aggressive blood cancer and chemo. Yep, she's been through it. Post-treatment, her energy was shot, her labs were a mess, and every “normal” dietitian gave her advice that didn't fit her life or her healing body. It wasn't until she found mindful eating and our work together that things started to click.Terri opens up about what it was really like to feel hopeless, skeptical, and just plain done with trying. She talks about the moment she decided to bet on herself one last time…and how it changed everything. No calorie counting. No burnout. No forcing herself to eat breakfast while nauseous just to hit macros. Just small, powerful shifts that worked for her real life, on her timeline.We get into the mindset stuff, the supplement support, the daily check-ins, the slow but steady weight loss that stuck, and how she finally got her energy and confidence back. This isn't a quick fix or a perfect before-and-after—it's the story of someone who learned how to listen to her body, eat without fear, and feel damn proud of herself again.If you're ready to finally bet on yourself and get off the self-sabotage merry-go-round, hit play! Let's talk real, sustainable, forever results with some laughter and a LOT of honesty. I know Terri's story will move you.xoxo,JackieP.S. Want to see Terry's before & afters?

Someone asked me if drinking beer can help you lose weight. The research is actually on bitter hops, which are used in the beer-making process. Some are calling bitter hops "Natural GLP-1."

What if the woman you've been striving so hard to become...is the woman God already says you are? Think about that for a second. So many women live with the belief, "I'll be more confident when I lose the weight." Or, "I'll finally start serving once I feel comfortable in my body." Maybe you've even told yourself, "When I reach my goal weight, then I'll believe I'm enough." But what if those thoughts have been keeping you stuck? The truth is, the enemy loves to convince us that our identity is always one achievement away. One smaller clothing size. One lower number on the scale. One more accomplishment. Because as long as we're chasing a future version of ourselves, we're distracted from living in the identity God has already given us. Friend, your worth was never something you had to earn. Your confidence doesn't come from your body—it comes from Christ. Your purpose isn't waiting for you at your goal weight. And your calling has never depended on fitting into your old jeans. Today, we're talking about what it really means to become the woman God created you to be—not someday, not after you lose 20 pounds, but right now. Because when you begin living from your God-given identity instead of striving to earn it, everything changes...including the way you approach your health. Before we dive in, I want to invite you to something special. On September 2nd, I'm hosting a FREE live workshop on Zoom where we'll talk about how to finally break free from the exhausting start-over cycle with food and weight loss. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, every month, or every season, this workshop is for you. You'll learn practical, faith-based strategies to help you build lasting freedom instead of relying on willpower. And if you're looking for encouragement throughout the week, come join our free Facebook community, Lose Weight, Live Free. It's a place where women encourage one another, grow in their faith, and pursue healthy living without obsession. Finally, if you're ready for personalized support and accountability, I'd love to walk alongside you through my Ditch the Diet one-on-one coaching program. You can reach me anytime at taraj@dietditching.com. Now, let's dive into today's episode.

What do you eat when it's 90 degrees outside, you don't want to cook, but you're also trying to lose weight and get rid of stubborn belly fat? Summer meals can get a little wonky. We skip meals, snack our way through the afternoon, or convince ourselves watermelon counts as lunch…and then wonder why our energy tanks and the cravings hit later. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, I'm sharing some of my favorite quick, higher-protein summer meals that don't require an hour over a hot stove. We're talking easy lentil bowls, high-protein pizza, taco and Cobb salads, sushi poke bowls, and simple ways to use rotisserie chicken, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, beans, quinoa, and other shortcuts to make meals fast. I'll also show you how I think about protein for weight loss in midlife and why getting enough protein matters when you want to lose weight, build muscle, and tackle belly fat without making food complicated.

Why can't you lose weight, and why do modern diets fail? Today, Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman explains how evolution shapes hunger, body fat, food cravings, and modern food mistakes. You will learn why eating well can feel so hard in today's food world.

By the end of the episode, you'll have some simple ways to make better food choices and will know how to make healthy choices easier.

Dr. Brent Taylor teaches from Exodus 20:7 in a message called "Don't Lose Weight." The third commandment warns against taking the Lord's name in vain, and Dr. Taylor explains that this means far more than avoiding certain words. God's name has weight and worth, and treating it lightly empties it of its meaning. This message asks us to examine how we speak about God, pray in His name, and represent Him in daily life. Do our words and actions add to the weight of God's name, or do they treat it as something common? The call for God's people is reverence, care, and a life that honors the holiness of who God is.

Should you lose weight or have your knee replaced?

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything you're supposed to do to lose weight—eating less, walking more, squeezing in cardio whenever you can—yet the scale barely budges? Or maybe it does...for a little while. But before long, the weight finds its way back. If that's your story, I want you to know you're not alone. And today's episode is for you. What if the missing piece isn't another diet or more hours on the treadmill? What if it's time to pick up some heavier weights? Today, we're talking about why strength training is one of the most powerful tools for sustainable fat loss—especially for women over 30. We'll cover why so many women shy away from lifting heavier, what "lifting heavy" actually means (because it's probably not what you think), and how building muscle can transform not only your metabolism, but also your confidence, your strength, and your long-term health. By the end of this episode, I hope you'll feel empowered to stop fearing the weight room and start seeing strength training as one of the best investments you can make in your health. And if you're ready for personalized guidance and want help creating a nutrition and strength plan that actually fits your life, I'd love to work with you.

Hey friend, Have you tried diet after diet, done everything "right," and still watched the scale barely move while other people seem to get results from the same things? What if the reason you can't lose weight has nothing to do with what you're eating and everything to do with the state your body is stuck in? If chronic illness, chronic stress, and poor sleep change the rules of how your body processes everything, is it possible the answer isn't a better diet, but a different starting point? If you've tried everything, the diets, the protocols, the trendy approaches, and your body still won't budge, this is the episode you've been waiting for. I share my own experience going all in on the carnivore diet during a season of flares, doing everything right, and watching the scale barely move, and the shame spiral that followed. I explain three real, biology-based reasons why chronic illness bodies hold onto weight that have nothing to do with effort or discipline: the stress response that tells your body to conserve, the sleep disruption that throws off hunger signals, and the inflammation that changes how your body processes everything. No new diet. Just the explanation that finally makes the whole picture make sense. I'm Ashley, a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone.

Have you ever looked around in the middle of summer and wondered why everything suddenly feels like so much?Between vacations, camps, family schedules, work projects, and trying to take care of yourself, summer can become overwhelming before you even realize it. Many women respond by pushing harder, getting more organized, or looking for another productivity hack.But what if the problem isn't productivity?What if it's capacity?In this episode, Dr. Stacy explores why high-achieving women often confuse being capable with being unlimited, how summer exposes overloaded systems rather than personal failure, and why asking for support is one of the strongest things you can do.You'll also learn a simple brain dump exercise to help you see what you're really carrying—and where you can create more space.In this episode, you'll learn:Why summer often feels overwhelmingThe difference between capability and capacityWhy productivity isn't always the answerHow to identify overload before burnoutA simple exercise to reduce mental clutterWhy asking for support is a sign of strength—not weaknessIf you're tired of feeling like you should be able to do it all, this episode is for you.Want help putting these ideas into practice?Inside Lifestyle Support Monthly, we help women build realistic systems that make healthy decisions easier—even during busy seasons like summer.

Can you lose weight while breastfeeding without hurting your milk supply? On today's episode, I'm answering a question from a listener named Rachel about how to approach fat loss while breastfeeding without compromising her milk supply. One of the biggest concerns I hear from postpartum women is whether they have to choose between reaching their weight loss goals and continuing their breastfeeding journey. After going through this myself and coaching many women through this season of life, I've seen that the answer is often much more nuanced than people expect. In this episode, I'm sharing my own experience with nursing and postpartum fat loss, along with the story of a client who was able to lose 10 pounds while maintaining her milk supply. We'll also talk through the biggest things I want you to focus on, from calories and exercise to carbohydrates, timing, and what I want every new mom to consider before jumping into a fat loss phase.

5 Healthy Habits That Have Nothing to Do With Food (But Can Transform Your Health After 40) When you think about getting healthy, your mind probably goes straight to food. But what if some of the biggest habits impacting your health have nothing to do with what's on your plate? In this episode, we're talking about five healthy habits that can improve your energy, mindset, consistency, and even make healthy eating easier. From protecting your sleep and setting healthy boundaries to managing your emotions and keeping promises to yourself, these habits are the foundation for lasting change. If you're tired of starting over and want a healthier lifestyle that actually lasts, this episode is for you. Mentioned in this episode:

Have you noticed your gymnast suddenly feeling weaker or struggling with skills she used to hit easily, and wondered if she's just gained "too much weight"?It's tempting to think the fix is simple: get her lighter and the skills will come back. But in this episode, Christina explains why that logic misses something important, and why "just lose weight" almost always backfires.Around age 11, girls enter puberty and their bodies change exactly as nature intends: gaining height, weight, and shifting biomechanics. Trying to stop that with dieting or underfueling does not solve the problem, it makes it worse. You cannot build strength, muscle, or bone in a calorie deficit, and you certainly cannot recover from 20 to 30 hours a week of training in one.Puberty is one of the most anabolic phases in a female's life. The body is building a stronger skeleton, more muscle, a bigger heart, and a mature reproductive system, all of which require energy. Restrict that fuel and the body compromises: performance suffers, recovery slows, hormones get disrupted, and injury risk rises. It's not because the gymnast is weak, it's because physiology always wins.Christina compares two gymnasts: one who loses weight by eating less but also loses muscle, endurance, and recovery capacity, and one who moves through puberty well-fueled, gaining some body fat but also gaining muscle. The second gymnast almost always performs better, because body weight is just one of more than 40 factors that determine performance.She also touches on when body composition changes do reflect a genuinely disordered relationship with food, and why getting fueling right from the earlier competitive levels matters so much long-term. Fixing this takes two things: consistent, adequate nutrition, and well-programmed, progressive strength and conditioning designed by specialists, not leftover conditioning lists.In this episode, we cover: ❗ Why "just lose weight" seems logical, but doesn't hold up ❗ What's happening in a gymnast's body when she enters puberty ❗ Why you cannot build strength, muscle, or bone in a calorie deficit ❗ A tale of two gymnasts: underfueled weight loss vs. healthy, fueled weight gain ❗ Why body weight is only one of 40+ factors that determine performance ❗ What low energy availability does to injury risk, hormones, and recovery ❗ Why strength and conditioning needs to be specialist-designed, not an afterthought ❗ When body composition changes do signal a disordered relationship with foodChristina's takeaway: puberty is not something to fight, it's something to fuel and prepare for. Gymnasts who are properly fueled and supported through this transition come out the other side stronger and more resilient.If you are watching your gymnast's body change through puberty and want support navigating it, reach out.

Losing fat is great... but not if you're also losing muscle in the process. One of the biggest and most avoidable mistakes you can make during a fat loss phase is losing muscle along with body fat. Muscle is your body's metabolic engine. The more muscle you maintain, the better positioned you are to keep your metabolism strong, support healthy blood sugar levels, and achieve the lean, toned look so many women are after. In today's episode, I'm sharing five things I want you to focus on if your goal is to lose body fat while maintaining, or even building, muscle. We'll cover the biggest mistakes that can lead to unnecessary muscle loss, along with the simple habits that will help you preserve muscle while continuing to make fat loss progress. If your goal is to improve your body composition instead of simply seeing a lower number on the scale, this episode is for you.

Episode Description: You have been cutting carbs to lose weight and your blood sugar still will not move. What if you have been avoiding the one carbohydrate that was actually working in your favor the whole time? Resistant starch is a carbohydrate your body cannot digest. Instead of spiking your blood sugar, it travels to your gut bacteria intact, feeds them, and triggers a chain reaction that improves insulin sensitivity, blunts post-meal glucose spikes, and in human controlled trials is linked to measurable reductions in visceral fat. And here is the part that might surprise you: the same food can have a completely different metabolic effect depending on how you prepare it. Cooking and then cooling a potato or a plate of rice meaningfully increases its resistant starch content. Same food. Different biology. In this episode, you will learn:  • How resistant starch feeds your gut bacteria to produce butyrate, one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds in the body, and how that chain reaction directly improves how your body handles blood sugar and insulin  • What the randomized controlled trial data actually shows for weight loss, visceral fat reduction, and insulin sensitivity, including the dose ranges used in the studies and how long it takes to see results  • The exact foods to start with, why you have to go slow, and what happens to your gut if you jump straight to 40 grams a day This is a free tool.
