  When you understand "the why" behind everything you do on your weight loss journey, you can then more easily take action that is supportive to you and your overall goals.   This is what we explore in my final podcast of 2024 "When 'The Why' is SO Important."   Happy Holidays!

All along this weight loss journey, I’ve enjoyed the occasional Diet Doctor Pepper here and there… until now.    In this episode, I’m going to explain the concept of Nutritive Mismatch, how it’s shown up for me, and how it might be making it harder to lose and maintain your weight loss.    Info on Artificial Sweeteners on my Blog  https://www.weightlossbybrittany.com/post/...

We are getting into the Holiday Season!!! First, I have a question… How did Halloween go?  Did you make a plan to enjoy your favorite Halloween Candy? Did you stick to it? Or did you just see the candy like many of my clients and think, “eh, no big deal.” OR…. Are you in full force fuck it (FFFI) mode?  I am going to address how to handle the dreaded FFFI and give you some additional too...

So, once the weight is on its way off and we’ve worked through that, we really get to work on feeling better in your life. One of my clients who has lost a ton of weight recently told me, “My whole life feels better after coaching with you… “ Which totally melts my heart and is why I do this work. I know what it’s like to feel like you are in a never ending weight loss and weight gain spiral and I...

If you were to tell me 4 years ago that I would have a “strength training routine” at the age of 39, I would have laughed out loud. 🤣 But here I am. Sharing my very basic, but very efficient and effective strength training routine with you.  Here is the thing… This is not something that I started when I was beginning my weight loss journey, it’s something that I’ve slowly added on and worked...

In today’s podcast, I want to talk to you about a concept that is crucial to weight loss. To make permanent change in your actions, your lifestyle, and your approach to food you have to create a permanent change in your thinking about those things. In this podcast I give you two examples of how your brain can be holding you back from embracing a new way of eating forever and engaging in joy outsid...

So today we are going to talk about weight loss medications. These medications have been a real hot topic and I’ve been getting a lot of questions so I thought I would do a podcast on it. In this podcast I am going to dive into: How they work. How they work best. Why they might not be working for you... and What to do about it. Take a listen. My best, Brit weightlossbybrittany.com  

I want you to think very hard about the role food plays in your life. Is it just fuel for your body and sometimes pure joy? Or is it more than that? Is it a break? Is it a delay tactic? Is it a pick me up? I think we all develop habits of using food as something other than its intended use. In today’s podcast we talk about what role food is playing in our lives, and if that isn’t working well for...

I used to gain AT LEAST 5-15 pounds EVERY YEAR from Halloween to New Year’s. It all started with leftover halloween candy. And Halloween candy would become Christmas cookies and cocktails.. I’d gain about 1-2 pounds per week, or about 15# in 2 months. In other words, I was starting off the new year with an extra 15 pounds to lose and a lot of guilt. That stopped 3 years ago. At first I was unsure...

What if I told you that the only thing holding you back from losing weight and keeping it off....is your ability to feel an emotion. That’s it. If you can feel an emotion instead of eating... if you can support yourself through any discomfort, you can, and will get the results you want. It’s easier said than done, but you CAN do it.  In this week’s podcast we dive in.

When I was on weight watchers for the umpteenth time, I vividly remember how much I hated spending time preparing meals. Everything I did took a lot of time and dirtied a lot of measuring spoons and dishes.  The meals always involved eating a lot of vegetables or else you would run out of points and be starving.   The meals as a whole were never satisfying or delicious… and the vege...

  In coaching we experience something called breakthroughs.  Breakthroughs occur when we start to understand how our thoughts have been leading to our results. We come to understand why we are the way we are. We start to heal the parts of us that are hurting, and we are able to make peace and move forward. In this podcast I add some additional examples of breakthroughs I’ve had in ways y...

I get questions all of the time about three specific things. What is a joy eat and how do I it? Is cauliflower crust pizza on the protocol? What is your opinion of artificial sweeteners. These were all things I wondered when I started approaching food this way, and you might be wondering about them as well.  So today I'm going to dive into each one of these things in detail. P.S. I have one s...

This might sound surprising….  but… Did you know… I've had at least 3 times where I have gained a bit of weight BACK since I initially lost the weight? For real. I'm human too. (Crazy, right?)  I have a human body and a human brain.  During previous weight loss attempts I would have told myself “I'm messing up," “I knew I couldn't keep this weight off,” “I have no self control.” I w...

What are the things you look forward to the most about your life?  I know for me…. I couldn't wait for lunch so I could have some white chocolate macadamia cookies from the lounge. I couldn't wait to get home to snack on some left over whopper eggs from Easter. I couldn't wait until my kid went down so I could open a bottle of wine… What do all of these things have in common? They are highly...

Do you hate being hungry?   I know I did….  I was constantly on Hungry Girl's website looking for foods that will keep me full, I would carry around 0 point items just in case I got hungry, and I would look for the Weight Watchers recipes with the most food volume so I could be full and distended and still somehow lose weight…   I avoided hunger like the plague … it was so...

Listen up.  If you are a people pleaser.... Do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast. This 90 seconds will explain why the people pleasing cycle you are in feels terrible,  and will help you build awareness about how to get OUT of it.  Enjoy.
