In this episode, Greta and I chat about:
➡️Childhood beliefs and programs
➡️Believing weight loss is hard

#171 - How to stay consistent with your nutrition on the weekends with Craig McDonald
Something Craig and I have noticed with some of our clients is that they're consistent Monday to Friday, but then when the weekend rolls around, the plan just goes out the window.
Yet, when you have a specific goal, you need to be fairly concise and consistent not only during the week but also on the weekends.
In this episode, Craig and I chat about:
➡️What to do when eating out on the weekend
➡️Simplifying your meal plans
➡️Planning ahead and packing your food
➡️Practicing moderation and what it means
And more!

Lisa is 53 years old and lives in the United States, working for a large auto parts company. Lisa’s story starts way back in her childhood. She grew up with a mother on Weight Watchers who always had a scale in the kitchen.
Lisa actually thought she was an overweight kid, so she always did low-fat diets and restricted calories. She even did keto for 6 years and 86-hour fasts. Lisa no longer does all this craziness, so we sat down and had a bit of a chat about her journey.
In this episode, Lisa and I dig into:
➡️Lisa’s dieting history
➡️Her experience having a hysterectomy
➡️Losing 30 lbs and 24 inches in 16 weeks
➡️Other improvements she’s noticed

So, in this episode, Amanda and I talk about:
➡️Amanda’s history and why she joined the program
➡️How she lost 8 kgs and body fat
➡️How giving up the booze has changed her life

#168 - Why you should train to build muscle not burn calories with Damon Hayhow
Prior to meeting Craig I used to train to burn as many calories as possible! I did so many classes, HIIT and long runs. When I met Craig he said to me you need to stop destroying the body you have with cardio and restrictive diets and build the body you want with real food and strength training.
I learned about the benefit of lifting weights and getting stronger for body composition change: more muscle and less body fat. Following a structured and measured training program with the intention of building muscle. I not only improved my body composition but I also improved my health. Better sleep, better cycles, no more constipation, more energy and no more binge eating!
Damon was one of the first coaches Craig worked with and has heavily influenced our training methodology. He's been on the podcast before, so I thought I'd get him back on to talk about why we should be training to build muscle not burn calories.
In this episode, Damon and I chat about:

#163 - How to find your confidence in the gym with Craig Mcdonald
I talk with a lot of women, and often hear, “One thing I’m really nervous about is going to the gym.” And I get it. You go into the weight room, and all the big boys are there. It’s intimidating.
When I first started training, I was nervous too! But once I got my technique down and started hitting some PBs, I felt more confident, and it was so motivating.
So, in this episode, Craig and I discuss:
➡️Why no one is looking at or judging you
➡️Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable
➡️Focusing on your exercises and program
➡️How it all becomes ingrained in you with experience
➡️The accomplishment and empowerment you feel after hitting a PB
➡️How everyone starts somewhere
➡️Focusing on improving your technique and execution
