Let’s get real—fat loss isn’t just about eating perfectly clean meals and living in the gym. In this episode, I’m breaking down what true sustainable fat loss looks like (and it might surprise you).

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still not seeing results—or if you’ve been stuck in a cycle of restrictive dieting and burnout—this conversation is for you.

OVERVIEW:

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why is this taking so long?!”—this episode is for you.

Today, I’m diving into a conversation that’s been coming up again and again with my 1:1 clients: the frustration that can come with making sustainable changes and not seeing results as fast as we’ve been conditioned to expect.

From social media highlight reels to quick-fix diet programs, we’ve been sold the idea that weight loss should be fast, dramatic, and easy. But when you choose a sustainable, hormone-friendly approach—where you’re not starving, overtraining, or cutting out major food groups—the journey looks very different.

In this episode, I break down:

Why so many women feel frustrated with their pace of progress

How misinformation from the diet industry warps our expectations

The three biggest mistakes I see when it comes to timelines and transformation

Why true, lasting change takes longer—but is so much more worth it

How to reframe your journey so you stop comparing it to the crash diets of your past

If you’ve ever questioned whether your hard work is paying off—listen in. This episode is your reminder that you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and you’re doing it right.

In this episode, I’m diving into what sustainable really means when it comes to your health, nutrition, and fitness journey. So often we hear that sustainability is the goal, but let’s be honest, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. I’m breaking down why sustainable results require effort, consistency, and a mindset shift, especially if you’re used to chasing quick fixes.

I’m also talking about the importance of daily movement, how to stay in your own lane instead of falling into the comparison trap, and why redefining what “hard” means is the key to real change. If you’ve ever felt like giving up because it’s not happening fast enough—or you’re overwhelmed watching other people’s journeys—this episode is for you.

Let’s reframe what success really looks like and focus on building habits that actually stick.
