#150 - Stop Fighting the Scale: A Practical Guide to Losing Weight

In this Q and A episode, I answer common questions about fat loss, muscle building, and cardio  and give you practical strategies you can use right away.

 * How to eat in a calorie deficit without feeling like you are starving by looking at things like fiber, volume eating, pre-planning, and your food environment.
 * Whether meal timing matters for fat loss, and how to choose between a few bigger meals vs more frequent smaller meals based on what actually helps your hunger and consistency.
 * How many sets per muscle per week you really need to build or maintain muscle, including the minimum effective dose, the realistic sweet spot for most people, and when higher volume makes sense.
 * How much extra cardio actually helps with fat loss and whether or not it's worth it 
 * How sleep affects how much fat you lose and how much muscle you build

#149 - Fat Loss Without Starving Yourself, How Many Sets You Need To Build Muscle & More 

If eating healthy feels hard, it’s probably because you’re trying to change your whole life overnight instead of building a simple system you can enjoy that's easily repeatable. 

In this pod, we'll go over:

 *  The key to picking an approach that feels doable, not extreme, so you actually stick with it
 * A repeatable weekly diet that keeps meals simple Monday through Friday, adds variety on weekends, and still allows 1 to 2 meals out without blowing everything up
 * Simple protein and meal shortcuts (crockpot, whey, Greek yogurt, bars and shakes, canned and frozen foods, fast food upgrades) that save time and keep hunger under control
 * Practical planning tips that make the healthy decision the easy decision (running meal list, staple grocery list, pickup or delivery, ingredient prep, and what to do when travel makes things messy)

#141 - Building Discipline, Gaining Muscle In Your 30s, Losing Weight Without Gaining It Back & More

The Fit(ish) Project is a bridge for practical, straightforward fitness advice you can put into practice right away. I’m passionate about fitness, but I understand there’s a lot more to life than fitness.

A lot of people want to feel better, look better, and live longer, but they don't want to spend all their free time reading the latest nutrition research or logging 2-hour workouts every day.

So I break down what actually matters for results and better health in a simple, time-efficient way that fits into your real life. I'll share strategies and insights you can apply immediately that are backed by science, while still taking into account the mental side of fitness so we can make the changes stick for the long term. 

I'll mix in lessons from my 100-pound weight loss journey and years of coaching people in person and online, so what you learn is relatable, realistic, and doable.
