You don’t need to cut out pizza, ice cream, or your favorite snacks to lose fat. But you do need to be smart about how you work them in.
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to actually use the 80/20 (or 90/10) rule in a way that supports your goals—instead of quietly sabotaging them. We’ll talk about one of the most common mistakes people make with flexible dieting, how to fix it, and how to build a way of eating that works for your life (not against it).
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
<ul>
<li>When the 80/20 rule works, and when it doesn’t</li>
<li>How to apply the 80/20 or 90/10 rule using calories, not time</li>
<li>A better way to fit fun foods into your plan without stalling fat loss</li>
</ul>
Key Takeaways
<ol>
<li>Flexibility should be based on calories—not the calendar</li>
<li>You can (and should) eat foods you enjoy while losing fat</li>
<li>Being consistent doesn’t mean being perfect—it means having a plan</li>
</ol>
This one’s short, simple, and super practical. If you’ve ever felt confused about how to eat in a way that’s flexible and effective—this episode is exactly what you need.

147 | The Real Reason Your Calorie Tracking Isn’t Working

Struggling to lose weight and keep it off—without sacrificing your favorite foods or spending hours in the gym? Feeling stuck, despite trying different workouts and diets? Frustrated that no matter how much cardio you do, the stubborn fat won’t budge?

Welcome to Fat Loss Simplified—the podcast that cuts through the noise and gives you clear, sustainable strategies to burn fat, build muscle, and tone your body—without restrictive diets or time-consuming workouts.

I’m Bryce Hamilton, certified fitness and nutrition coach, and I help busy women like you lose fat, gain strength, and create a body you feel confident in. For years, I thought the key to fat loss was following strict meal plans, cutting carbs, or pushing through exhausting workouts. But none of it was sustainable (which always lead to regaining the weight I had just lost). Once I found a smarter, balanced approach—focusing on strength training, metabolism-friendly nutrition, and practical habits—everything changed. Now, I’m here to help you do the same.

Each episode, you’ll get simple, actionable advice on:
- Strength training for women—how to lift weights for fat loss and muscle tone
- The truth about metabolism and how to make it work for you
- Meal prepping and macro-friendly eating that fits your lifestyle
- How to lose weight fast—without gaining it back
- Breaking through plateaus and getting lasting results

No gimmicks. No nonsense. Just real, practical strategies to help you look and feel your best while still enjoying life.

So, grab your favorite snack (yes, you can keep it in your plan), hit play, and let’s take your strength, confidence, and fat loss to the next level—one meal and one workout at a time.
