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.

On today's episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series, I am sitting down to discuss two ways to approach calculating your calories for fat loss regardless of if you want to track your food intake.

Determining your target calorie deficit is an important core step towards your journey to losing body fat because without context into how much you should be eating, it’s very challenging (if not impossible) to determine the daily food plan you should be following.

For this reason, I’ll be sharing two methods I use with clients to help you determine how much you should be eating for results. The first method is rooted in science and numbers, while the other method is less invasive into your lifestyle and instead uses how you currently eat in your real-life to help guide how to get into a calorie deficit.

By the end you’ll leave this episode with knowledge on how to determine how much you should be eating and how to apply this information to your daily life to begin seeing fat loss on both your body – and the scale.

Welcome to Fit Girl Fall 2025!

Every October I hit reset with my signature Fit Girl Fall Series and choose a theme specific to help you with your diet and exercise routines relevant to this busy time of year. For the entire month of October I stick to this theme with every episode that I release alongside dropping two episodes every single week.

This year, the theme is focused on fat loss. Whether your goal is to shed body fat, refine your approach and tighten up your nutrition and workouts, or finally take that first step into a healthier routine — you’re going to love what we have coming your way on the show.

And to kick off the series today, you’re getting two episodes. In this one, I’m breaking down what Fit Girl Fall is all about — this year’s theme and what you can expect from the series. Then, make sure to check out episode 330 which dropped today as well, because that’s our official kickoff episode!

On today’s episode I am sitting down solo to discuss all things weight loss weigh-ins as inspired by one of our amazing listener’s named Kelsey who left a comment on a recent episode on Spotify regarding how often she should be weighing in.

In this, I’m discussing how to approach weigh-ins, how often you should weigh in, when it’s appropriate to stop weighing in as frequently or even at all if it’s impacting your mental health and how to not let the number on the scale get the best of you according to science.

My hope is for you to walk away from this episode knowing exactly how to use weigh-ins to level up your progress without it physically and mentally draining you, or bringing you down… because at the end of the day the goal is to focus on the work – not the weigh in.

On today’s episode, I am sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by one of our amazing listener’s named Rachel regarding the rising trend of using GLP-1 weight loss medications, especially among postpartum moms and women with just a few pounds to lose.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you really need weight loss meds, or if seeing everyone around you take the “quick fix” makes you feel like you’re missing out, this one is for you. I’m getting brutally honest about why I’m choosing not to go the medication route, how your values and circumstances shape your weight loss journey, and the mindset shifts and strategies that actually move the needle regardless of medication use or not.

Whether you’re all-in on doing it the OG, natural way, or just want perspective on what really works for sustainable fat loss alongside support through medications – this episode will equip you with the clarity and confidence to make the decision that truly fits you.
