247. The Mindset Shift Required in Order to Succeed Sep 20, 2024

Show notes

Lots of factors go into whether or not you will successfully achieve a goal.

How bad you want it, where you are in your life, your physical limitations just to name a few.

But one of the most powerful indicators of success is a shift in your mindset.

Most people do not consider their mindset when they set out to accomplish a goal like losing weight.

They just start with, “what should I eat and not eat?”

So in this episode, I want to talk about the mindset shift required in order to succeed and accomplish everything you want in your life.

246. The Macronutrient That Matters Most for Runners Sep 13, 2024

Show notes

I talk a lot about carbs here on the podcast, mainly why it’s advised to keep your carbs low if you’re a runner who wants to lose weight and use body fat as fuel for running.

I realized I haven’t spent much time talking about the other macronutrients – fat and protein.

Fat and protein are essential nutrients that often get overlooked when it comes to low-carb diets and fat-adapted running.

I’m hoping to remedy that here today.

So this episode is all about the macronutrient that matters most for runners and how it benefits your overall health and fitness.

245. Replay: How to Tell When You’re at Your Natural Weight Sep 06, 2024

Show notes

I talk a lot about losing weight and eventually getting to your “natural weight” but I’ve never really taken the time to explain what your “natural weight” is.

Several people have been asking me about this lately so I thought it would be a good idea to dig into this topic here on the podcast today.

Listen, losing weight is a very personal thing, and there’s not one right way to do it.

Lots of different things work for different people.

The same goes for what your natural weight should be – it’s a very personal thing.

And yet, lots of people have lots of opinions about what YOUR natural weight should be.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about some of the standards we use to determine ideal weight, and why they don’t work for everyone, what “natural weight” means, and how to tell when you’re at your natural weight.

244. Motivation Strategies to Keep You Moving Forward Aug 30, 2024

Show notes

If you have a big goal like losing weight and keeping it off, then you know it is going to take a while to reach that goal.

One of the main reasons people don’t reach their weight loss goal is that they lose motivation.

They do OK for a few weeks or a few months and then all that motivation they had at the beginning is gone and they give up on themselves.

The interesting thing is that there are different motivation strategies that work for different people.

Not everyone responds to the same types of motivation.

So today I’ve got a few motivation strategies to keep you moving forward so you can actually achieve those big goals.

243. Why Counting Calories Doesn’t Work Aug 23, 2024

Show notes

When it comes to weight loss tips, one principle stands out among all the others: counting calories.

For decades, you’ve been told that the only way to lose weight is to make sure you count all your calories.

Honestly, if this worked as advertised, we wouldn’t have a crisis of obesity here in this country, and no one would struggle with their weight.

But the truth is, it doesn’t work.

Today on the podcast, why counting calories doesn’t work and what you should probably do instead.

242. Top 10 Weight Loss Tips for Runners Aug 16, 2024

Show notes

There is so much contradictory advice out there when it comes to losing weight.

It’s really hard to know what’s right and what’s just BS.

I’ve always taken the approach that you need to ignore most of the info spewed out there on the internet and social media and just figure out what works for you.

We are all different and there’s simply not one approach that will work perfectly for everybody.

With that principle in mind, for this episode of the podcast, I want to share with you my top 10 weight loss tips for runners.

These tips should work for most of you – not all of you – so as always, try a few things and find what works for you.
