Livewell with Jacqueline The Podcast Jacqueline Bouley Price

Fat Loss is Hard. Simple yes, but not easy. But there are a whole host of other things that go along with putting yourself into the almighty calorie deficit.

Is hunger normal? What is up with cravings? How about my hormones? Why am I SO tired? How come my partner doesn't like me very much right now? Is this even the right time to be doing this?

These are just of the few topics I touch on in this episode so you can decide if doing a fat loss phase right now is appropriate for you.

I can't even count the number of restrictive diets I have done - the ones with food lists, menus, shakes, juices all the things I CAN'T have. I was so tired - and then I learned that I could start putting in a sweet treat/crunchy moment that brought me JOY. Not only would I be happy mentally I would also still lose weight...Say what??

In today's episode I ams sharing how important it is to eat for joy while in a diet phase. Using the thought process and knowledge I teach inside LWJ coaching you can unlock how to learn what brings you joy so you can still eat the foods you love and lose the weight you desire.

Sure you may know sleep is important for weight loss - but do you know HOW important? It is the secret fat loss maker as we say in LWJ coaching!

I can already see the eye roll - yea yea I know I need to get more sleep but I love my scrolling in bed, watching Netflix and falling asleep on the couch, the kids wake me up and all the things that interrupt that quality night. I see you friend and some of these you can't change, but some you can and that is where I want to focus.

In today's episode I break down all the reasons you need to prioritize that precious time for shut eye - from hormones down to hunger cravings and some of them may surprise you!

I used to think walking didn't matter that much - you weren't really working out if you weren't sweating and pushing hard! I had to eat my words on this one - b/c walking and your step game are one of the biggest levers you can pull when it comes to fat loss.

In today's episode I am sharing how many steps you should aim for daily, why walking and getting awareness of how many steps you get daily is going to be your power play, and how you can easily increase your daily step count without going for long 5 mile walks.

Does being in a diet for months on end seem terrifying? You already want to quit before you started because you feel like it's going to take forever? You already have fomo on the things you aren't going to be able to do? What if I told you there's a better way?! In today's episode of the basics of fat loss I'm talking to you all about the phasic approach. I'm breaking down why it is really appropriate for you to only do a fat loss phase for a defined period of time and then live the rest of your year at maintenance. You're going to be shocked at how long I think you should be in a calorie deficit versus long I believe you should be living eating at caloric maintenance - and how you should be putting those calories to use!
