The Weight Loss Podcast

The emails have been piling up and we love it! We love being able to talk with you and answer any questions we haven't covered on the show! Except we've got ourselves a bit of a backlog so it's time to debut the official Weight Loss Podcast Mailbag! Where we dip into the backlog of emails to answer YOUR questions to the best of our ability (your mileage may vary considering our abilities!) Why not...

You've had enough. You've been trying on and off for years trying to lose that 30kg (it used to be 10kg but you've noticed that with every quick fix the weight seems to have come back on more than when you started). But this time it's going to be different - you KNOW it. So the time has come to launch into a training program and a diet that you KNOW you won't be able to keep up long-term, but as l...

So often it starts small. It could be a comment from a friend, or you're comparing your results to someone else's. Maybe you aren't seeing the results you're hoping for in a particular time frame. It eats away at you until it builds to the point where you question yourself. You also question what you're doing, how you're doing it...sometimes even why you're doing it.   The question you ask yo...

If we were to ask you to think about what's involved in losing weight, what would you think about? "What should I eat?" "Should I cut carbs?" "Am I having too much protein?" "Should I have one sugar in my coffee or two?" "How much cardio should I do?" You know what no one really thinks about? Sleep. That's right, sleep. In this episode of the show we get underneath the covers to discuss what is a...

You were going to the gym 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day! You were meal prepping 2-3 times per week. But that was a month ago, and in that time you've found yourself slipping. You're finding excuses to miss your workouts. Excuses as to why you're too busy to cook your own food now and it's just easier to stop in at the drive-through once...twice...three or four times each week. That's right...

A critical part of a successful transformation involves improving your relationship with food. Some of us use food as a way to cope with our emotions and find that their emotional eating habits really hold them back.  Some will restrict what they eat so much that when the rebound comes, they fall off the wagon so hard they find it really hard to get back on. In this episode of the show we bre...

Courtney is in holiday mode so we decided it was time for a not-so-random weight loss Q&A!
