    Menopause Belly Fat, Cortisol & the 1,200 Calorie Diet

    Why does fat distribution change during perimenopause and menopause? Is belly fat really caused by high cortisol or a slower metabolism? And is 1,200 calories actually too low for every adult woman? In this episode, I’m breaking down what the research tells us about menopause belly fat, changes in fat distribution, visceral fat, cortisol and metabolism through the menopause transition. Then we’re getting into the 1,200-calorie diet. You’ve probably heard that 1,200 calories is “what a toddler eats,” but calorie needs aren’t the same for every woman. I’ll explain how body size, activity level, BMR and maintenance calories affect how many calories someone may actually need for fat loss, and why 1,200 calories can be too low for many women while still being a reasonable calorie deficit for others. If you have a nutrition or fat-loss question, send me a message on Instagram. And if you're interested in working with me one-on-one, you can fill out an intake form on my website.

    Is Slower Weight Loss Actually Better? | Rapid vs. Gradual Weight Loss

    Is slower weight loss actually better, healthier or easier to maintain? Or can a faster rate of weight loss work just as well? In this episode, I'm looking at rapid vs. gradual weight loss and some of the things we're commonly told about losing weight quickly. We get into adherence, hunger, metabolism, muscle loss, weight regain, and why I don't think there's one “best” rate of fat loss for everyone. I also talk about how I decide on a rate of weight loss with my own clients, why someone with more body fat may be able to tolerate a larger calorie deficit, and why a slower approach can sometimes make more sense when flexibility and habit building are the priority. Studies mentioned in this episode: Nackers LM, Ross KM, Perri MG. The association between rate of initial weight loss and long-term success in obesity treatment: does slow and steady win the race? International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2010. PubMed Purcell K, et al. The effect of rate of weight loss on long-term weight management: a randomised controlled trial. The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 2014. PubMed Coutinho SR, et al. The impact of rate of weight loss on body composition and compensatory mechanisms during weight reduction: a randomized control trial. Clinical Nutrition, 2018.

    Why Am I Not Losing Weight If I’m in a Calorie Deficit?

    If you’re in a calorie deficit, why aren’t you losing weight? And does it mean your metabolism has slowed down or you’ve gone into “starvation mode”? In this episode, I’m breaking down what can actually be happening when weight loss slows or stops. We’ll talk about how calorie needs are estimated, why energy balance changes throughout a fat-loss phase, what happens to energy expenditure and hunger as we lose weight, and why the calories burned on your fitness tracker may not be as useful as you think. I also talk about calorie tracking, when it can be helpful, and what I’d look at before automatically lowering calories or adding more exercise. If your weight loss has stalled, this episode will give you a better idea of what might be going on and what to look at next. Veya Nutrition: veyanutrition.caInstagram: @veya_nutrition

    Does More Effort Mean Better Results?

    When it comes to losing weight, we tend to assume that if we try harder, do more and become more disciplined, we'll get better results. And usually, that makes sense. But it doesn't always work that way. This week I'm talking about effort, where we're putting it, and whether doing more is actually helping. Want help with your nutrition? I offer 1:1 nutrition coaching with practical, evidence-based support that actually fits into your life. 1:1 Coaching: veyanutrition.ca/coaching Website: veyanutrition.ca Instagram: @veya_nutrition

    Weight Loss Progress: Why the Scale Isn’t the Whole Story

    We put a lot of weight on the number we see on the scale when we’re trying to lose weight. But sometimes that means we overlook all the other ways we’re making progress. In this episode, I’m talking about non-scale victories, why they matter, and why some of them might actually be the reason you wanted to lose weight in the first place. A short and sweet one this week.

    Are Our Protein Needs Overhyped?

    Protein has become a BIG thing. It’s being added to everything and we’re constantly being told we need more of it. So…do we? This week I’m talking about how much we actually need, whether more is better, protein quality and how our needs change as we get older.

    The Boring Basics: What Actually Matters for Your Health

    There is a lot of nutrition advice competing for our attention online. Cortisol, blood sugar, hormones, metabolism, supplements...there is always something new we're being told we need to worry about. And meanwhile, some of the things that have the biggest impact on our health are also the least exciting. In this episode, I'm bringing it back to four basics: sleep, nutrition, hydration and movement. I talk about why they matter, what the research actually tells us, and where I'd focus before worrying about all the other stuff you're hearing online. Because getting really good at the boring stuff may not be exciting, but it's a pretty fab place to start.

    All-or-Nothing Thinking: Why You Keep Starting Again Monday

    If you’ve ever had a few days where things didn’t go very well and thought, “I’ll just start again Monday,” this episode is for you. All-or-nothing thinking is incredibly common and sometimes we don’t even realize we’re doing it. So I wanted to talk about how we end up there in the first place and why always starting over might actually be part of the problem. Because maybe the thing you need to get better at isn’t starting again. Maybe it’s learning how to keep going.
