    #322: Identifying Key Fat Loss Bottlenecks (And Why Your Progress Might Feel Stuck)

    Calling those who are trying to lose a lil weight and not seeing the results. This one is for you. If you feel like you are doing “everything right” but the scale is not moving… it can get pretty fricking frustrating pretty darn quickly. Sound familiar? You might be training consistently, making better food choices, and putting in real effort. But fat loss is not just about effort. It is about accuracy and consistency over time. The convergence of strategy, consistency, habits, and routine behaviours.  As a Sports Dietitian, this is something I see all the time. People are close. Very close sometimes. But a few small bottlenecks are enough to slow or completely stall progress. The good news is that once you identify them, they are usually very fixable. Today is not about the fix itself (that is individualised and requires working closely with you), but instead about identifying reasons and knowing where to next.  In this episode, I share five of the most common fat loss bottlenecks that might be holding you back (that you might not even be clocking).  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you! Your unique situation needs to be taken into consideration and adjusting your dietary intake. ____________________________________________ DOWNLOAD MY FREE MACRO NUTRITION CHEATSHEET  Your Guide To Improving Your Macros & Making Meal Prep Easier https://theclimbingdietitian.lpages.co/macro-cheatsheet-the-climbing-dietitian/ Apply for Bespoke 1:1 Macro Sherpa Nutrition Coaching Program: https://bit.ly/395QmGs Check out and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/2Mxqs4W Email me: aleksa@theclimbingdietitian.com.au To find me on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theclimbingingdietitian TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theclimbingdietitian Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theclimbingdietitian Twitter: https://twitter.com/beardyAPD Link to blog: https://bit.ly/330ULq4 Check out my website for more information on me and what I do: https://www.theclimbingdietitian.com.au

    #321: Are There Any Foods You Should Avoid?

    Should I avoid XYZ? The question of the day, the week, the month…question of the ages seems like. So what is the truth here? Because food dichotomy in the nutrition space is a real thing and not often for good reason. There is too much black and white thinking around food and not enough of that nuanced grey area, you know.  In this episode, I dive into the subject of food exclusion and whether or not there is good reason to avoid full food groups or specific foods if you are trying to become healthier and achieve your goals.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    To be able to lose or not be able to lose (while drinking alcohol), for that is the question. Most people know that drinking a lot is not a recipe for weight loss and that alcohol can not only put on weight but stop you burning fat. So why is this? How does it happen? Is it actually true?  In this episode, I explain in basic terms whether or not it is true that alcohol in your system is a fat loss inhibitor and what you need to know about alcohol consumption and being able to lose weight successfully.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #316: “Can I Eat Junk Food and How Much?” - Unpacking The Nuanced Truth Of Flexible Nutrition

    This question has been asked many a times or at least has been thought about by many, let’s be real. For better or for worse, the nutrition space is the balancing act of what we as humans need to be eating or should be eating for a given outcome and the natural desire for comfort and indulgence in the form of “fun foods”.  So how does this intersection come into play when it comes to our strategies and the results we want? Can one eat “junk foods” and be ok and if so, how much is ok? This is a very nuanced and contextual topic but let’s give you some insightful direction at least.  In this episode, I answer the question of whether or not it’s okay to eat “junk food” and still get results (as an athlete or in fat loss).  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!
