If you’ve ever felt like you’re putting in the work, doing everything “right,” but still not seeing the results you want in the mirror, this episode is for you. Inspired by a recent conversation with one of my clients, we’re diving into why maintenance might actually be more valuable than constantly chasing weight loss.

Many people believe that fat loss is all about eating less and moving more, but that mindset can leave you feeling frustrated, stuck, and spinning your wheels. In today’s episode, we break down why maintenance is crucial for long-term success, how to recomposition your body for better muscle definition and energy levels, and the biggest mistake that keeps people from achieving the look and feel they truly want.

If you’re tired of dieting and not seeing the progress you expected, this episode is going to change the way you approach your fat loss journey.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why always being in a calorie deficit might be holding you back
How maintenance can actually lead to better fat loss results
The concept of dieting periodization and why it matters
The role of muscle building in changing your body composition
Why your fat loss plateau might be a sign you need to focus on something else

Key Takeaways:

Fat loss isn’t always just about eating less – Constant dieting can lead to muscle loss, leaving you feeling smaller but not stronger.
Maintenance fuels real transformation – It gives your body what it needs to build muscle while reducing body fat percentage.
Recomposition > Rapid weight loss – Keeping muscle while burning fat creates a stronger, leaner, and more defined body.
Structured phases work best – Cycling through fat loss, maintenance, and muscle growth prevents plateaus and burnout.
If you're stuck, pivot – Focusing on maintenance might be the missing key to unlocking real, lasting results.

At the end of the day, losing weight isn’t the goal—feeling confident, strong, and energized is. If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of dieting and not seeing the changes you want, it might be time to focus on maintenance, muscle-building, and sustainable progress instead.

132 | Why ‘Eating Everything in Moderation’ Won’t Work for You—But Also, Why It Might

Eating in moderation sounds like the perfect, balanced approach for fat loss—unless it doesn’t work. While it’s often seen as the golden rule of healthy eating, it only works if certain conditions are met.

In this episode, I break down when moderation works, when it doesn’t, and the two essential questions you need to ask yourself before making it your go-to strategy. If you’ve ever wondered why eating in moderation feels effortless for some people and frustrating for others, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The real definition of moderation (and why it’s different for everyone)
Why eating “in moderation” works for some but not for others
The role of metabolic flexibility in making moderation effective
How to build your ability to eat in moderation while still seeing results

Key Takeaways:

Moderation only works when you have the awareness of what’s in your food and what your body needs.
If you struggle with weight gain when trying to eat intuitively, your metabolism might need some revitalization work.
Muscle is the key to increasing metabolic flexibility, allowing you to eat more while still burning fat.
The goal isn’t to track forever—it’s to build the awareness and habits that make moderation effortless.

Eating in moderation can be the ultimate goal, but it may not align with where you are right now. By improving awareness, building muscle, and strengthening metabolic flexibility, you can get to a place where you never have to track another macro or count another calorie again.

134 | Why Motivation Isn’t the Key to Fat Loss (and What Actually Is)

If you’ve ever felt like fat loss is an uphill battle—where some days you’re fired up and ready to hit the gym, and other days you just want to melt into the couch—this episode is for you. The truth is, motivation is not the key to long-term success. Instead, your habits, daily structure, and environment play a much bigger role in whether you stay consistent or keep starting over every Monday.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to automate your fat loss success so you never have to rely on motivation again. I’ll walk you through simple ways to structure your meals, workouts, and environment to make fat loss feel effortless instead of exhausting.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why motivation is unreliable—and what actually keeps you consistent
How to build structure into your workouts and meals so you don’t have to “wing it”
The power of evening routines (and why I don’t have a morning routine)
How your environment is quietly shaping your food and exercise choices
The one shift that makes fat loss easier than failure

Key Takeaways:

Motivation won’t save you. Some days you’ll feel like it, some days you won’t—build habits that keep you on track no matter what.
Structure = consistency. Plan your meals, workouts, and routines in advance so you never have to guess.
Your environment shapes your success. Make healthy choices easier by setting up your space for success.
Find your people. Support matters—surround yourself with those who lift you up.
Small wins add up. Start with one change, master it, then stack another. Progress is built one step at a time.
