If you're listening in real time, this episode is being recorded the week between Christmas and New Years. A time when most people are doubling-down on eating ALL THE THINGS because they know, come January 1, their new diet starts - and bye-bye to everything delicious. 
But what if this year, you did something different and approached your weight loss goals without demonizing/omitting certain foods? In this episode, you'll learn why extreme fad diets are contributing to this cycle of cutting out foods (then eating them in excess because you miss them so much. You'll also learn our proven methods for shutting down Food Fomo FOREVER.

Episode 57: Ending Food FOMO ("Fear of Missing Out")

If you're still eating your kid's snacks...and you can't keep your hands out of the office candy jar - it's a sign:
It's time to level up your nutrition!
Reaching your fat loss goals DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MISERABLE. In fact, if you're eating and training the right way, you should feel AMAZING while making progress on your goals. 
In Episode 56, Leslie Ann breaks down the "why" behind the Mini-Meal in FAT LOSS LIFESTYLE SCHOOL and why it's the most important meal you're not eating.

Episode 56: The Most Important Meal You're Not Eating

If everything we see on social media is true, then it looks like Low-Carb/No-Carb Diets are KILLING THE GAME - right? We see dramatic "before and after" photos and hear stories of double-digit drops on the scale in a matter of weeks. All from not eating carbs! 
It sounds easy enough - but is it too good to be true? If you're trying to lose fat on a Low-Carb/No-Carb diet and you are STUCK - this episode is a must-listen. We're breaking down the top 4 reasons why low carb dieters fail, AND I'm sharing solutions you can implement right away.
Let's get to the point and talk all things CARBS! 

Episode 55: Why You're Not Losing Weight on a Low-Carb Diet

There's a word....a word that's become so over-used and SO much a part of the health and fitness lexicon, that you've probably bought into believing it, too. I know I did. You think you *need* this thing, and that you can't be successful without it.
But after almost 10 years into running an online nutrition and fitness coaching business, I've realized that this word doesn't do what people think it does. It's become a crutch, and it may be holding you back, too.
And so, from today forward, this word is being purged from my vocabulary - and you won't see it in our online programs like FAT LOSS LIFESTYLE SCHOOL anymore either. 
Listen to Episode 54 and let me know what you think...

Episode 54: The Word That Is Henceforth Banned

A strange phenomenon is happening in online training and nutrition coaching programs: I call it, "Mixing and Matching" - and it will kill your results. In episode 53, learn why combining strategies for nutrition and training doesn't work (for example, signing up for a fat loss program while training for an endurance event like a marathon.) 
If you're planning to work with me or another coach in 2023, you owe it to yourself to listen to this episode AND fully embrace the program you sign up for.

Episode 53: How "Mixing and Matching" is Hurting Your Results

How do you know if the way you're eating and training is right? With SO many different opinions about what (and when) you should eat and how you should train, it might seem impossible to answer this question!

If you're going to reach your goals, you have to be in this for the long run - and that means having the ability to shut out the noise. You need a "filtering system": a method for determining if what you're doing is working. In episode 52, I'm sharing the 3-step system we use with our clients in Fat Loss Lifestyle School to help them stay focused and shut down self-doubt and overwhelm. 

Episode 52: Creating a Fitness + Nutrition Filtering System

If you've ever tried one of those "lose weight fast" programs, or you're thinking about doing one - this episode is a MUST LISTEN! 
We're launching a new program at Fat Loss Lifestyle School - and it goes live on August 26, 2022! In this episode, you'll learn the WHY behind this new program, who it's for, and what it's all about.
The inaugural round of our new SIMPLE START 7-Day Nutrition Challenge starts September 5. Head to our website and reserve your spot now: www.SIMPLESTARTNutritionChallenge.com

Episode 51: Behind the Scenes of Our New Program

Saying "YES" to everything means saying "NO" to the things you want most.

Episode 49: Is Instagram Ruining Your Results?

We don’t use the phrase, "Relationship with Food" - yet we frequently have clients in our program tell us, "I'm here to fix my relationship with food." ((Head scratcher.)) Where does this phrase come from? (Not from us...) What does it REALLY mean? And can we help you "heal" or "fix" your relationship with food? Coach Jenn and Leslie Ann are breaking it all down in episode 48 of GTTP. If you think you have a bad relationship with food and think it's needs fixing - this episode is for you!
