Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry – Details, episodes & analysis

Today I'm bringing you episode 4 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, where I'm addressing why "hitting your macros" doesn't always yield fat loss and the progress you think it will.

If you're putting in the work, logging your food, and still finding progress out of reach – this episode is for you.

In today's episode I'm revealing the massively overlooked reason your body might be holding onto weight and fat despite appearing to "hit your macros" as you log your food. I'm sharing why what you eat (not just how much you eat) matters if your goal is to lose body fat and lean out.

By the end of this episode, you'll walk away confidently knowing how to hit your nutrition goals, make your hard work count, and finally see those fat loss results you deserve.

Today I'm bringing you episode 3 of my new 6-part series, The Missing Piece, and we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes women make when it comes to carbs that can lead to difficulty losing body fat and that's often overlooked.

Are carbs really the enemy, or is it the way you're eating them that's sabotaging your body goals? Today I'm sharing the truth behind carbs and explaining how this category of foods are not created equal when it comes to your metabolism. Some carbs spike your blood sugar and leave you hangry, whereas others are literally designed to keep you full for hours and sculpt a fit body.

In today's episode, I'm breaking down the two most common mistakes women make when it comes to carbs in their diet, why your macros might look perfect on paper but still leave you stuck, and the science-backed approach to building a balanced plate that fuels fat loss and keeps you fuller longer.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss how to approach losing body fat without having to give up your social life, going out to eat and enjoying food.

Many women when on a diet program intentionally trying to lose body fat get anxious when they have meals out or events that can have tempting food options. While it's important to eat at home – it isn't realistic to think that you'll never go out to eat… even when you're trying to get fit and lose weight.

That's why today's episode is here to help you with your mindset, and your macros. I'm breaking down how to stay on track when out to eat with simple strategies and a proven approach that will decrease your stress and anxiety in these situations. I also discuss cheat meals, when to know it's worth it to indulge and other strategies you can begin to implement so you strike the perfect balance of enjoying yourself without over-doing it.

By the end of the episode you'll ditch food anxiety, learn to call a meal "fun" without derailing your results, and walk away confident that you can enjoy life and keep making progress.
