The Reach Your Peak Experience (A Sports Nutrition Podcast)

One of the common questions I have gotten as a Dietitian over the year come Christmas/Festive time is: “Should I continue trying to lose weight over the holidays?”

It is no secret fat loss is harder to achieve among the festivities but should you even try in the first place is the general thought.

There is no clear cut answer and there is more nuance to this subject than meets the eye, but I can share some insight to help you make your decision.

In this episode, I answer this question and share some perspective on this coming from me as a Dietitian and Nutritionist who works with many fat loss clients.

Caloric balance is the fundamental decider when it comes to total body composition change. Both weight loss and muscle building are dictated by your calories.

That is why it is important to go back to basics sometimes to understand the basic fundamentals of body composition and how calories are the moving puzzle pieces to this equation. 

I like to talk about this in zones: The Calorie Zones. 

In this episode, I deep dive into The Calorie Zone framework I use and what it all means. This will ensure you walk away knowing what the deal is with caloric management and it’s direct link to body composition optimization.

“PO-TAT-OES! Boil em. Mash em. Stick em in a stew.” - Samwise Gamgee

Hobbits know their food and they do that food game well…and they love their taters, precious.

Despite the information you may have been given in the past or the misconceptions you may unfortunately have about the humble potato.

I eat potatoes all the time and I have had my clients freely include them in their diet without issues and they have still seen the best results they have ever had because they implemented the right flexible nutrition system.

In this episode, I share 3 reasons that potatoes are ACTUALLY good for you!

Accountability is the closest thing you will get to the “secret sauce” when discussing nutrition success. 

It is a fundamental driving force that should be leveraged to gain an advantage and move you closer to your goal.

As a Dietitian and Nutritionist, I saw firsthand the power of accountability which led to me creating the concept of the ‘3 Pillars of Accountability’. 

Using this framework, my clients have gained the edge they needed and have made bigger and better strides towards their health and fitness goals. Quite simply, it makes nutrition work for you much more effectively.

In this episode, I revisit the very important and powerfully influential topic of the 3 pillars of accountability in hopes it helps pave the path forward for you.

Plant based nutrition can be a perfectly fine way to go about your diet and can be optimized to be effective and healthy. We are talking vegan nutrition of course but vegetarian eating applies too. 

However, it is technically a restricted diet and therefore this creates more chances for poor nutrition, unbalanced eating, and some key nutrition mistakes.

Of course, there is the increased risk of certain nutrient deficiencies but beyond that there is one major nutrition mistake that many plant based dieters make…

In this episode, I reveal this one common mistake so that you can stop doing it (or avoid it in the first place) and ensure your plant based nutrition strategy is effective and on point.

Is it possible to eat takeaway food and still lose weight?

Yes, it is. However, it requires a strategic approach so that you ensure that the takeaway options (and the extent to which you eat them) don’t move you out of a calorie deficit.

Choosing the right takeaway is largely dependent on the portion amounts you eat but choosing the right types also plays a part and that is the focus here.

So what kind of takeaway is fat loss friendlier?

In this episode, I share with you various takeaway ideas and options that are more calorie-friendly than others and that can fit the calorie budget much more easily - helping you lose more weight, while still eating some takeaway in your life.

When you are trying to lose weight, keeping your calories in check and in a calorie deficit is a fundamental necessity. 

So what is one to do when they want some dessert or to have a more indulgent snack?

Well, all foods can fit but I understand the desire to have options that don’t break the budget (calorie budget that is) to alternate with so that you are not always eating the super high-calorie options. 

In this episode, I share 3 low-calorie dessert alternatives to help you control calories more easily and reach your fat-loss goals with fewer restrictions.
