  • How to Lose 10lbs in 10 Days!!

    Did I catch your eye with that title?? Yeah.. That's a pretty serious promise right?

    We’ve all seen THAT old gimmick. It’s friggin everywhere.

    There's a ton of information and ideas out there about how to lose weight quickly, right?

    And ya know what, some of them work! 
    But most of them don’t… 

    And NONE of those gimmicks actually last.

    We went ahead and put fire to the one that's MOST common - cutting calories! 

     - Benefits of a calorie restrictive diet! (didn’t expect that either did you?)
    - What actually happens to your body on a restrictive diet
    - Hope for the future

    Have you ever gone on a restrictive diet and felt good about it??

    I'm guessing not.. It tends to be pretty terrible in a lot of ways.

    Heavy restricting is NOT what we're about at Drop the Fat, Not the Tacos!! So, you should really click here and jump on the non-restrictive, and actually enjoyable, weight loss wagon, yeah?
    See ya inside ;)

    But ya know, if you're cool with just listening to us here, that's cool too. If you wanna support us so we can keep this stuff coming to ya, we'd appreciate it! You can buy us a coffee (or a taco!) by clicking the link below.

  • I'm just a big fat Failure...

     LET ME COUNT THE WAYS I FAIL ALL THE TIME!!

    I ate too much: FAIL
    I didn't work out today: FAIL
    I got mad at the kids: FAIL
    I forgot to prep for a meeting at work: FAIL

    Fail, fail, fail, FAIL!!!! 

    I'm just a big fat failure with a capitol F!

    .....

    Today let's dig into:

    - What truly constitutes failure on our journey
    - A new way to re-think failure

    Have ever you told yourself you're a failure??

  • How to NOT Lose Weight Permanently... Wait.. What?!?

    HOW TO NOT  LOSE WEIGHT - PERMANENTLY! 

    "Wait... What??" 

    Yeah. Seriously. This is big. 

    "Diet" can be a word that screws with our heads. 

    It can mean food in a customary or cultural sense..

    It can describe a part of a person:
    "So-n-so is on a vegan diet."

    It can be for prescribed diets like the DASH diet or one for controlling diabetes..

    But most know the word "diet" as:
    "Temporary and highly restrictive program to "help" you lose weight."

    Which happens to be what we are speaking of today!  

    Why are we so against this kind of diet?

    Or more importantly... 
    Why do the people who buy into this always seem to gain it all back??

    Well, if we went in depth we'd likely be here all day! 

    So lets keep it simple instead. 

    First of all look at these simple points! 

    - Why Yo-Yo dieting DOES work --> (Hold on again here.. what?!?!) 
    - What all those diets REALLY are
    - What to do to stabiliize the Yo-Yo effect
    - How to be successful and stable for the rest of your life! 

    Have you ever tried one of those fad diets and couldn't figure out why your results haven't stuck around??

    You aren't alone!!

    Join us, and hundreds of others just like you, in Drop the Fat, Not the Tacos for more tips, tricks, and education on fitness, nutrition, and mental wellness.

  • Weight Loss... Where Should I Start???

    The first step is always the hardest, right?

    Something we hear often is, "I just don't know where to start..."

    Sound familiar?? 

    So! We wanted to have a chat about some of that. 

    - Powerful needle moving ideas 
    - Why we should focus on ONE thing at a time
    - Thinking less about "what I should be doing?" and more about DOING it.

    We're digging in a little today.. And I'm curious. Is taking that first step what is holding you back from making the changes you want? 

    If the answer is yes, then listen in, this one is for you. 

    ps.
    We got bumped from our broadcast today! Fortunately we were recording it in multiple locations! 90% of the information was in this live broadcast thoug, so we are leaving it as is.

  • A Little Self Discovery

    Do you represent who or what you really want to be?

    What is it that you really want to accomplish in your life?

    Do you actually know - really know - without over explaining it, as if you are trying to figure it out yourself?

    Most of us have a little idea, sure. But without some level of guidance we tend to kinda ramble on, literally and figuratively, without much direction. 

    So today we're shedding a little light on what it means to align yourself with YOURSELF!

    - What does it mean to be "aligned"?
    - Discover your REAL needs and wants
    - Reflect on who you really are
    - And why is this SO important for your future??

    Today we're diving deep into the scary cave - your mind! 

    And hopefully you'll bring a little gem back out.

    Can you hear the sound of change ringing yet??

    Join us in Drop the Fat, Not the Tacos if you know that this is something you need to take action on.

    Annnd!

     - How YOUR body will benefit
