    141. [Coaches Corner] The Difference Between Discipline and Disordered Eating

    Today's conversation dives into one of the most misunderstood topics in the health and fitness space: the difference between discipline and disordered eating. In a world where weighing your food is labeled "toxic" and every nutrition strategy seems to spark controversy, it's easy to wonder if pursuing your goals automatically means you're developing an unhealthy relationship with food. The truth? The behavior isn't the problem - the intention behind it is. In this episode, our coaching team breaks down: Why social media has made this conversation so confusing. The difference between healthy structure and unhealthy obsession. How to know if your nutrition habits are helping you grow or harming your mental health. Why tracking food isn't inherently restrictive. What a healthy relationship with discipline actually looks like. How to stop letting fear of "doing it wrong" keep you stuck. Whether you're recovering from years of diet culture, trying to lose body fat without falling into old patterns, or simply wondering where the line between discipline and disorder really is, this conversation will give you the clarity you've been looking for. 🎧 Listen now, and if this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who's been struggling to separate social media opinions from evidence-based coaching.

    139. Why I’ve Changed My Mind On The IMPORTANCE of Strength Training In Your Fat Loss Journey

    What if the missing piece in your fat loss journey isn't your nutrition... it's that you're not training hard enough? If you've been frustrated by constantly lowering your calories, increasing your cardio, and feeling like you're working harder and harder just to maintain your results, you're not alone. Many women are stuck in a cycle of dieting, losing weight, gaining it back, and wondering why fat loss never seems to get easier. In this episode, I'm sharing why I've completely changed my perspective on the role of strength training in fat loss after seeing firsthand results with both my clients and my own physique. We'll break down why building muscle is one of the most powerful tools for improving your metabolism, maintaining long-term results, preventing the dreaded "skinny fat" look, and creating a body that feels strong, resilient, and sustainable. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and send me a message on Instagram: What's your biggest takeaway, and has your approach to strength training changed over the years?

    138. Stop Playing Fat Loss On Hard Mode

    You're not struggling with fat loss because it's too hard. You're struggling because you're making it harder than it needs to be. In nearly a decade of coaching, I've learned that most women don't need more information. They need fewer distractions, fewer excuses, and fewer things competing for their attention. The reality is that fat loss is often far simpler than we've been led to believe, but we make it complicated by overthinking, chasing shiny objects, and avoiding the discomfort that comes with doing the basics consistently. In this episode, I'm sharing 8 ways you're unintentionally playing fat loss on hard mode and what to do instead. 🎧Listen now and send me a message on Instagram @marissaroyfitness with the biggest takeaway that hit home for you.

    137 - If Influencers Were Honest

    What if I told you that some of the most popular fitness advice on Instagram is keeping you stuck? If you've ever felt frustrated because you're following the advice of your favorite fitness influencers but still aren't seeing results, this episode is for you. After coaching over 1,300 women and spending nearly a decade in the health and fitness industry, I've learned that many of the messages dominating social media are oversimplified, misleading, or completely lacking context. The problem isn't that these concepts are always wrong - it's that they're often presented without the nuance you actually need to make progress. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on some of the most common fitness myths and breaking down what influencers would say if they were being completely honest. 🎧 Listen to the full episode and send me a message on Instagram: Which fitness myth have you fallen for, or which one surprised you the most?

    136. Why Fitness Always Tends To Feel Like ‘Another Thing’ On Your Plate

    You tell yourself you’ll finally prioritize your health “when life calms down.” Or you go all in, stay consistent for a while, and eventually burn out because every habit feels like another obligation to manage. And the frustrating part? You KNOW what to do. But somehow it still feels exhausting to maintain. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why fitness starts to feel mentally draining instead of supportive The difference between performative wellness vs. integrated habits Why most people struggle to sustain results long-term How identity and personal standards shape your consistency The hidden reason high achievers burn out in health & fitness Because real transformation doesn’t happen when you force yourself to “be disciplined” forever. It happens when your habits stop being something you perform for an outcome… and start becoming part of who you are. Listen now and DM me on IG @marissaroyfitness to tell me the biggest takeaway that shifted your perspective 👇

    If tracking your food makes you feel obsessive, anxious, ashamed, or like you’re constantly “failing,” this episode is going to completely shift the way you look at data, dieting, and your body. Because the truth is: Most women aren’t struggling with tracking itself. They’re struggling with perfectionism, avoidance, and the belief that numbers determine their worth. In this episode, I’m breaking down: Why tracking macros became so emotionally charged for so many women The avoidance + perfectionism cycles keeping you stuck The difference between accuracy vs. reliability Why data is neutral and how to actually use it as feedback instead of punishment The exact mindset shifts we use with our coaching clients to rebuild a healthier relationship with food tracking I’m hosting a FREE masterclass on this tomorrow, Tuesday May 19th at 5pm.

    134. Are You Actually At A Plateau? & How To Break It

    You’re probably not in a fat loss plateau… you’re just missing the right data, strategy, and consistency. Most people panic the second the scale stops moving. They slash calories, add more cardio, and convince themselves their metabolism is “broken” - when in reality, they’ve never actually learned how fat loss works. In this episode, I’m breaking down: What a REAL fat loss plateau actually is, (& why most people are not truly plateaued) The biggest mistakes people make when progress slows How metabolism adaptation works The exact “levers” to pull BEFORE cutting calories Why patience, data, and consistency matter more than extremes And how I’m personally navigating my own plateau right now during my current fat loss phase If you’re tired of feeling stuck, frustrated, or like your body is “fighting against you,” this episode will change the way you approach fat loss forever.
