Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

Stan Efferding, the world’s strongest bodybuilder and the creator of The Vertical Diet, is back on the podcast! He is so knowledgeable, and this isn’t one you’ll want to miss.

We find so many women, when they start taking packaged foods out of their diet and eating more whole foods, usually end up undereating salt. Sometimes, we actually get them to track their salt intake, and then it often ends up being too low. This is because the only salt they get is what they add to their food (meaning they usually need to add more!).

So, in this episode, Stan and I chat about the importance of salt. We cover:

➡️Getting enough electrolytes

➡️The problem with salt/sodium restriction

➡️Symptoms of a low salt intake

➡️The benefits of salt

➡️How to add salt to your diet

➡️How much salt you need

➡️How training impacts your sodium levels and intake

➡️The water-salt relationship

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.

I always thought I had to go to extremes to lose weight, then I’d have these epic binges. When I met Emma and Craig and learned about calories and macros, energy balance, strength training and that carbs, sugar and dairy were not evil foods that would make me fat or give me cancer 🤣😈 I realised I didn’t need to be doing all these crazy diets to get the body and health I wanted.

There are also heaps of misconceptions about macros and calories. When many women see these words they immediately start thinking restriction or they become overwhelmed. The truth is you don’t need to eat 1200 calories to get the body you want, and once you learn about energy balance, calories, macros and how to meal plan reaching your body and health goals becomes so much easier and more enjoyable.

In this episode, Craig and I chat about:

➡️What are calories?

➡️Total caloric intake and how it impacts your weight

➡️What are macros?

➡️How your protein intake may vary depending on your goals

➡️Doing caloric deficits (and how to do this properly)

➡️How much fat, protein, and carbs you should consume

➡️Eating at maintenance calories and macros

➡️What it means to be in surplus

➡️Calculating your maintenance calories

➡️How long deficits should last

➡️What to monitor during deficits

➡️Refeeds and what they do

➡️How to gain muscle or “get toned”

➡️Laying your foundations first

Theresa is an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner. We love Theresa. She actually helped Craig and me through our TTC journey, and we are eternally grateful. If you’re not sure what EFT is, go back and listen to previous podcasts we’ve done with Theresa.

Often, I see women having trouble following through on the commitments they make to themselves, or they blame everything and everyone around them for reasons why they can’t. So, I wanted to get Theresa back on here to talk about strategies to help you follow through and actually achieve your body and health goals.

In this episode, Theresa and I chat about:

➡️Why it might seem easier to play the victim (but isn’t)

➡️Choosing your hard

➡️Addressing the emotional side before the physical

➡️Looking at how you want to feel during your week

➡️Taking ownership

➡️Questions you can ask yourself

➡️Trusting your own path (and being confident with it)

➡️How you can have it all but not everything at once

➡️The power of your internal dialogue

➡️Feeling safe and why it’s needed to make radical changes

➡️How any progress is still progress

➡️Accepting the rate of transformation

➡️Why (and how) this process doesn’t have to be miserable

➡️Unlearning what you thought you knew

➡️How to take the pressure off and make it less overwhelming

➡️Investing in a coach

We have Tommo back on the podcast. He’s been on heaps of times. We’ve done a bunch of episodes on hormones, blood testing, foods and digestibility, menopause, and more! If you haven’t heard those ones, go back and give them a listen. This time Tommo and I are chatting about keto and why it’s not a great strategy for long-term health.

90% of women we help in our programs have tried keto and found it didn’t work for them. Many of these women end up with health issues when they try to sustain the keto diet long-term, or they end up binging and gaining weight. And there are tonnes of good reasons for this!

In this episode, Tommo and I discuss:

➡️Why carbs are essential for the body

➡️What happens when you undereat carbs

➡️The impact of carbs on thyroid function

➡️Why the basics matter

➡️Insulin resistance and diabetes

➡️The flaw of the insulin-glucose model

➡️Why sugar isn’t poison (and what is!)

➡️How sugar acts in the body

➡️Why sugar cravings happen

➡️The sleep-carb connection

➡️Why carbs are important at breakfast

➡️How to reintroduce carbs back into your diet

➡️How carbs affect your hormones

➡️How quick-fix and fad diets impact your metabolic rate

➡️Why you have the power to improve your health

In our programs, we notice some women will push back on measuring data points, such as weight, digestion, mood, food, sleep, energy, temperature, and pulse. At the end of the day, these data points help guide changes that you need to make in your life to get you to where you want to be. So, Craig and I wanted to hop on and do an episode about why this is so important.

In this episode, Craig and I talk about:

➡️Asking yourself: What do you want the most? How do I want to feel?

➡️How the way you are is a reflection of what you do

➡️Common roadblocks women hit in our programs

➡️Meal/food strategies you can use for success

➡️What the data shows you

➡️What to do when you eat out

➡️Why action first might just motivate you to change

➡️How it will initially feel hard

April is the coach that has been with us the longest. She is amazing and has been through a lot of sh*t in her life. But she’s overcome it and had an incredible transformation. Now, she helps other women do the same in our program.

April actually started as a client in 2017, joining right after we launched. At the time, she was working as a PT in the gym and had recently left an abusive relationship. But she really applied herself and got results. At the time, I remember her even saying that she couldn’t afford the program but also couldn’t afford not to do it. It’s just been such a pleasure watching her grow and actually put herself first (She is a single mum of two kids!).

In this episode, April and I chat about:

➡️Her story of falling pregnant at 19

➡️How she left an abusive relationship

➡️April’s rock bottom and what she did about it

➡️Her dieting past

➡️How April healed her cystic acne

➡️April’s personal PBs in the gym (she's super strong)

➡️Why April became a coach

➡️Advice April has for other women on this journey

With the new year in full swing, Craig and I decided to sit down and answer some common questions we get about setting up a decent home gym without spending tens of thousands of dollars.

So, in this episode, Craig and I chat about:

➡️Creating a home gym without breaking the bank (just 3-5K AUD)

➡️Progressive overload and why you need it to build muscle

➡️The basic equipment you need

➡️Advanced vs beginner

➡️Equipment we recommend
