    #90 - Is less more for weight loss?

    What if the reason you're not losing weight… is because you're doing too much? In this episode, I share a powerful story from a recent catch-up with a friend who lost weight by scaling back — not pushing harder. We’ll dive into how relentless cardio, chronic dieting, and overtraining can actually backfire, especially for women navigating midlife and menopause. If you’ve been feeling stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or constantly hungry despite “doing everything right,” this one’s for you. Head to fatlossfundamentals.co.uk to find out how we help women lose fat without burning out.

    #89 - How to lose weight as a 9-5 worker

    Stuck behind a desk all day? Exhausted by 6pm and face-deep in snacks by 8? In this episode, I sat down with our newest Fat Loss Fundamentals coach, Natalie, to answer the weight loss questions every busy professional woman wants to ask—but rarely gets a straight answer to. We unpack why your willpower isn’t broken (even if it feels like it), how to stop the after-work binge spiral, and what to do when you’re too wiped out to cook—let alone track macros. You’ll learn how to lose fat without becoming “that person” who packs Tupperware for brunch. Whether you’ve had a ‘bad’ week or you just want to stop eating your feelings after a rough meeting, this one’s for you. Head to fatlossfundamentals.co.uk if you need our help to lose weight and keep it off for good.

    #88 - Losing weight won't make you happy unless you do this

    Most women think they just need to keep grinding harder. More discipline. More hustle. More pressure. But the truth is, if you don’t stop to celebrate yourself along the way, no amount of weight loss will ever feel like enough. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the two seasons of real transformation — Investment Season and Harvest Season — and showing you why both are essential if you want lasting change. I’ll also give you practical ways to reward yourself without food, how to celebrate non-scale victories, and why recognising your growth is the secret to changing your identity for good. Because you didn’t start this journey to feel miserable. You started it to feel proud. Go to fatlossfundamentals.co.uk and let’s make sure you’re building a life you actually enjoy living.

    #87 - My biggest mistakes as a coach

    When I first started coaching, I made every mistake you could imagine. I sugar-coated the truth about fat loss. I was scared to talk about weight. I let clients off the hook because I didn’t want to hurt their feelings. And I tried to help everyone instead of showing up as my real self. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what I got wrong, how it changed me as a coach, and why it’s made me better at helping women like you. If you’re sick of false promises, watered-down advice, and being made to feel like you’re failing when things get hard, you’ll want to listen to this. Because real fat loss is messy sometimes. Real change takes work. And if you’re ready to do it differently, I can help. Go to fatlossfundamentals.co.uk and let's get you started.

    Ever felt a wave of sadness when you sit down to relax at night and tell yourself you’re not going to snack? It’s not just about the food. In this episode, we break down why that feeling is so common, what’s really happening under the surface, and how to tell the difference between breaking a habit and facing an unmet emotional need. If nighttime eating is keeping you stuck in the weight loss cycle, this is the episode you need to hear.

    You ever wonder how your naturally slim friends just seem to stay that way without trying? It’s not magic—and it’s not luck. It’s six specific habits they’ve built, often without even realising it. In this episode, I’m breaking them all down—what they are, why they matter, and how you can start using them as bridges to your own lasting weight loss. These are the exact habits that helped me—and thousands of others—ditch the guilt, build confidence, and finally feel in control.

    #84 - Heaven & hell island

    If you're ready to lose weight and keep it off, you're going to need more than a meal plan and motivation. You need to believe that this time is different—that you are different. In this episode, we dig into the deeper mindset shifts that drive lasting weight loss and why it's not about being stricter with yourself... it's about finally caring for yourself on a whole new level. We'll cover how to challenge the way you talk to yourself daily, what changes really happen when you lose weight, and how it ripples out into every corner of your life. Ready to build a life—and a body—you love without starting over again next Monday? Go to www.fatlossfundamentals.co.uk and get started today.

    #83 - How to handle hunger

    Hunger. The one topic most coaches tiptoe around—but not here. In this episode, I’m cutting through the fluff to tell you exactly why hunger will happen during weight loss, and why pretending otherwise is setting you up to fail. You’ll learn the difference between light hunger and the kind of hunger that signals something’s wrong. I’ll share what I’ve done personally to navigate it, and give you practical tools to handle both physical and emotional hunger like an actual adult—not a hangry toddler. If you’ve been trying to lose weight while staying permanently full... this one’s for you. Ready to stop overthinking fat loss and actually get results that stick?
