The Specialty Foods Industry now accounts for almost 1/5th of the total food/grocery industry - but it's becoming an even larger percentage of what we're eating, especially among women with fat loss goals.

In this episode, we'll talk about why specialty foods - no matter how Keto, Paleo, Gluten-free, or Vegan they may be - can't hold a candle to real food, and how specialty foods could be sabotaging your goals AND happiness.

Let's GET TO THE POINT!

"You keep using that word. I do not think that means what you think it means..." 

"Accountability" is a major buzz word right now in the online world. In a world where everyone is an online coach, "accountability" is frequently sold as the missing link between you and the thing you want: a better body, a healthier lifestyle, a more profitable business. 

But what does accountability actually mean? In this episode, I'm sharing what accountability REALLY is - and what it isn't - and why it matters if you have health and fitness goals. 

What would happen if you got rid of all the rules around food and workouts? Would you go crazy and eat all the things? Never workout again? What would happen to your body? How would you think about food differently if everything was on the table - and you were allowed to eat it?

In Episode 26, you'll meet Amy Perry, a fitness professional, athlete, mom of 2, and self-proclaimed endurance race junkie who started an experiment to see what would happen if she said, "F*ck it" to dieting once and for all.

Learn about Amy's journey to becoming a more intuitive eater and finding her way to the happy middle ground with food. You can follow Amy's Spartan racing and other fitness adventures on Instagram at @ammesp.

"The F*ck It Diet: Eating Should Be Easy" by Caroline Dooner

The world is changing fast. If you're not already working from home, you may be soon due to the current state of world affairs. In this episode, I'm sharing the exact strategies I've used to work from home - both for other organizations and while running my own - to help you hit the ground running with WFH life. 

Working from home is an incredible opportunity to instill discipline and new habits and to improve your health, but most people won't see it for that. The "snow day" or "holiday" mindset has them showing up for online meetings in their PJs, drinking a pot of coffee per day, and eating a steady stream of so-called "quarantine snacks."

That doesn't have to be you.

In this episode, we'll cover: how to set up your schedule, how to arrange daily tasks to maximize your productivity, and how to incorporate your health and fitness goals INTO your daily work schedule.  

Now is the time to get serious about lifestyle change and truly create the work-life balance that's been missing. Let's get to the point!

"Trust the process" is hands-down probably one of the most annoying things that Personal Trainers and Coaches say, right? 

In this episode, we're breaking down the catch phrase and talking about what it actually looks like TRUST THE PROCESS when you're trying to change your body and live a healthy, fit lifestyle.

You know what to eat. 

You know you need to workout.

But you struggle with actually doing it consistently.

We hear you loud and clear: it's HARD to be consistent with nutrition and workouts - but it's not impossible.

We've been where you are - YES, we struggled with consistency too! - but now we're on the other side and we're here to show you: you can do this. 

The first step is understanding how you got here. If you can identify WHY you're struggling with consistency, then you can begin to solve the problem.

After the episode, join us for our FREE 5-day training series called "The Consistency Cure." The training begins Monday, January 27 in our Fat Loss Lifestyle Insiders group on Facebook. Join the group now - we'll see you there!

"I'm too tired. I'm not motivated. I'm too busy. It's not that important." If you've ever used these excuses for why you can't prioritize eating right and working out, listen up!  In today's episode, we're flipping the table on excuses with Kelly Roach,  a former Fortune 500 executive and CEO of Kelly Roach Coaching. Learn how this busy CEO, wife, and mom prioritizes her health and fitness goals while running two companies and still spending quality time with her family.  If you're a woman who wants to make a difference in the world, this episode will inspire you AND give you practical tips for renewing your commitment to your health.

If you think the only way to get through the holidays without eating all the cookies and drinking all the wine is to lock yourself in your house until January 2, this episode is for you. 

In episode 21, we tackle two of the most addictive foods on the planet: sugar and alcohol. Common trigger foods for many, sugar and alcohol become an even bigger problem during the holidays. From holiday parties to your own family traditions, is there any way we can moderate our consumption of sweet treats, wine, and cocktails, and still enjoy the holidays?

I'm sharing three proven strategies you can use at your very next event or party - real-world, practical skills that we've used with ourselves and clients in Fat Loss Lifestyle School for years.

Spoiler Alert: None of our strategies involve white-knuckling your way through the holiday season using massive amounts of willpower. 

"You can't out-train a bad diet." 

If you know any Personal Trainers or Nutrition Coaches, chances are - you've heard them say this. But is it true? What are the risks associated with training on a poor diet? 

In Episode 20, I'm breaking down the "why" behind this rule - and explaining why putting nutrition first will make your fat loss efforts FAR easier.
