In this week’s Weight Loss Wednesday, I’m tackling another round of your questions. I love these episodes because they let me answer the things you’re genuinely struggling with in real time. Keep sending them in. They really do shape what this podcast becomes.

I start with a question I know so many of us wrestle with: how to stop second-guessing the plan every time someone else has an opinion. Whether it’s oats, keto, fasting or the latest shiny little diet gimmick, the noise never stops. I talk about why that noise is so loud, how diet culture keeps repackaging century-old nonsense, and why the simplest approach really is the one that works. Oatmeal isn’t sabotaging you. Bacon and bubblegum aren’t magic. Stick to the calories. That’s the only thing that matters.

Then I answer a really important question about tracking. Does logging your food help on your weight loss journey? Absolutely. I talk about why it works both practically and emotionally, and why I genuinely believe calorie tracking is the only real shortcut that exists in weight loss.

There’s also a thoughtful question from a pregnant listener about whether to keep working the plan during pregnancy and postpartum. I share my own experience with pregnancy, loss and nursing, and why I would personally focus on nutrient density and medical guidance rather than weight loss during that time.

And finally, I answer a question about my new gratitude journal and how it fits into my daily routine. I talk about how it’s separate from my regular journaling, why gratitude became such a huge part of my life after getting sick, and how it can actually influence a weight loss journey in some really
