Scales & Tales, Unveiling the Secret to Medical Weight Loss brianna fear-keen

I sit here all day though talking about the importance of strength based training yet didn’t do it myself. All that changed last year when I gathered a few friends, found a local PT and started training and today, I am joined by my personal trainer and friend, Steph Perkins from Elevate Gym on the Gold Coast. 
In today's episode we talk all things challenges. What do people get out of challenges at the gym, what kind of transformations does Steph see and why they work.  I'm not the biggest fan of large, franchise based gym challenges and I hope Steph can give you clearer insight into what you might get from a smaller gym experience.

Encountering a weight loss plateau is very common and as frustrating as it is, it can be overcome with persistence, knowledge and support.
Try to be patient. After all, weight loss is rarely linear. Keep doing what you are doing, knowing you are doing the right thing, and your weight will usually move again but, if you have been stuck in a plateau for longer than you think you should be, re-evaluate. Reassess if anything has changed, tweak your diet and exercise routine if you need too and seek support if you need regular accountability and someone to keep you motivated.

More often than not, some weight loss can be achieved with any change made. Maintaining that lost weight though seems to be much more challenging. Our understanding of biological, behavioural and environmental factors that lead to relapse are broken down in this podcast episode. 

When it comes to sticking to recommendations from a dietitian, weather you are working on a weight loss goal, or managing a chronic condition, there are so many reasons why it’s hard to stick to your goals. In today's episode, we dive into 6 reasons why compliance is sometimes a bit more tricky than others.

Ozempic® and other weight loss medications are a tool and they are only just one piece of the puzzle to help with diet and exercise compliance.
At a minimum you should be getting an average of 0.5kg weight loss each week using these medications, if not, again you need to take a closer look at your food and exercise choices.
So if you feel like your weight loss hasn’t, or isn’t where it should be, yes, it may be purely that you are not a good responder to it, but before we jump to any conclusions, I want you to use this checklist from today’s episode to make sure you are ticking off all the boxes first and if you feel you would benefit from dietetic input to tweak something to help you with further losses that you aren't seeing, then please reach out.
