Weight Loss For Women: empowering health, strength and nourishment

Tania is in her early 50's and is married with two kids.Before she came into our program, she was running on the treadmill - sometimes twice daily - and eating broccoli, seeds, and all kinds of stuff she thought she had to in order to feel good and lose weight. She had thyroid issues, menopausal symptoms and just couldn't lose weight without starving herself.She has a really cool story and I think a lot of women can relate to it.In this episode, Tania and I chat about:➡️The diets and exercises Tania tried before our program➡️How Tania lost 100 cm and eliminated her menopausal symptoms➡️What health issues she was having before the program➡️How she avoided thyroid surgery➡️What she’s enjoyed the most about the program➡️How many calories she’s consuming daily➡️How this new way of eating has fit with her family➡️What she eats on a daily basis➡️Her advice to women debating whether or not they should try our programHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

My co-founder of NuStrength, Craig Mcdonald, and I are back!If you haven’t listened to our previous podcast where Craig talks about the different nutrition phases we take our clients through, why we have phases and when they are appropriate, I recommend going back and giving that one a listen first.I think fat loss phases are so misunderstood and women often think they have to drastically cut calories. So, I wanted to chat with Craig to help you understand it better and how to structure it to make it easier.In this episode, we discuss;➡️What a fat loss phase is and how long they should typically go for➡️Getting the most out of your foods and macros and why there are certain foods we recommend during a fat loss phase➡️Where to get started➡️How to structure your diet in a fat loss phase and why this is important➡️Metabolic adaptation during a fat loss phase➡️The role strength training plays in maintaining muscle during a fat loss phase➡️Why walking and NEAT is important in a fat loss phase➡️How to make this process easier and more enjoyableHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

Just about every week I get at least 2-3 DM's from women like this:"Hi Kitty I've been dieting for years and have been following you and others in the community and I've been implementing some of the principles eating more carbs, dairy etc but I've gained so much weight, it's not working what should I do?"The first thing I ask them is have they been tracking their food?Just about everyone says they haven't been tracking their food or they have been loosely tracking their food.So we thought we'd record a quick podcast on this topic.In this episode, we chat about:➡️The importance of tracking and planning your food➡️Why someone gains weight➡️When weight/fat gain is needed and when it's not➡️How to minimise fat gain➡️How the balance of protein, fat, and carbs is critical➡️The hard truth about why you may not be seeing the results you want➡️Why being consistent is essential➡️How muscle mass plays a part➡️How time mattersHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

Most of the women who join our program have cycled through a number of diets that drastically cut calories and/or food groups. I did the same thing for years but when I met Craig and Emma I learnt why this approach never works long term, often leads to more weight gain and it usually leaves women with one or more of these issues: low energy, poor sleep, digestive issues or hormonal imbalances.I was listening to a coaching call Craig did a few weeks ago and one of the clients asked about the 'phases' they get allocated by their coach and why we do this and what phase is appropriate when?So I thought it would be a great opportunity to get Craig on the podcast to discuss the cycles and phases of nutrition and when they are appropriate.In this episode, we chat about:➡️What the nutrition phases are and when they are appropriate➡️Healthy body fat ranges➡️How nutrition contributes to muscle growth➡️When is a calorie surplus appropriate?➡️How the fat loss phase works and when is it appropriate?➡️How to figure out your maintenance calories➡️Why you shouldn’t have to ever do drastic calorie cuts for long periods➡️Is it possible to build muscle while losing body fat?Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting to have had Stan on the podcast.We love big Stan and not just because he's the world's strongest bodybuilder and the creator or the cooler 🤣 Craig did his best Stan impersonation on the podcast....nearly as good as the real thing!Big Stan has been training women for bodybuilding comps since 1989 so he knows a thing or two about getting strong and getting lean.He's also the creator of the Vertical diet, which like our approach is built on a foundation of bioavailable nutrients to optimise the metabolism and digestion 👊 while helping people build healthy lifestyles and sustainable habits.Like Craig and I, Stan is also passionate about helping people before they experience tragic health issues due to restrictive dieting, so it was awesome to get him on the podcast to go over all of this. In this episode, we discuss:➡️Why carbs, such as fruit and potatoes, are important➡️Why the only way to change your body is by building muscle➡️What variety of foods you should include in your diet to optimise your metabolism and digestion➡️Why eating adequate calories is essential➡️The benefits of bioavailable animal protein and dairy➡️The importance of tracking and meal prepping➡️Eating the same thing every day and how this can be beneficial➡️Why Stan recommends 10-minute walks➡️The benefits of saltHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
