    If You're Scared to Eat More, You're Doing It Wrong (Here's What to Do Instead)

    Scared to eat more? Your body probably needs way more fuel than you think. Today I'm breaking down TDEE, metabolism, and the four things your body actually burns calories on — BMR, NEAT, TEF, and exercise (spoiler: workouts are the smallest piece). We get into why chronic restriction backfires, what metabolic adaptation really means, and how reverse dieting can get you eating more AND leaner at the same time. In this episode: Why 1200-1400 calories is a toddler's energy needs, not a grown woman'sThe 4 components of your TDEE (and why exercise isn't the big one)Why you can eat low and still not lose weightWhat metabolic adaptation actually isHow reverse dieting rebuilds trust with your metabolismWhat I eat now vs. what I used to eat Masterclass waitlist link: https://herrevival.co/waitlist  Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lainijojo/  For the people who like watching podcasts, they're also posted to my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lainijojo

    Why Do I Overeat at Night Even Though I'm So Disciplined All Day?

    Ever wonder why you can be SO disciplined all day and then completely lose it at night? You're not alone, and it's not a willpower problem. In this episode I'm breaking down why nighttime overeating happens — from under-eating earlier in the day, to what I call the "red button effect" (aka why restriction backfires), to unsatisfying meals, decision fatigue, and stress-driven habit loops. I'm also sharing my infamous chip couch story and the 3-2-1 rule I use to protect my sleep and digestion. If you've ever asked yourself "why am I overeating at night when I'm so disciplined all day," this one's for you. Grab my free recipe eBook (link in show notes) if unsatisfying meals are part of your problem, and DM me on Instagram @lainijojo if this episode hit home.

    If You Feel Skinny Fat, Here's What Needs to Change

    Younger me needed this episode so bad. If you've been consistent for years, putting in the work, and you still have that skinny fat look — flat, no shape, not lean either — this one's for you. I spent 5 years doing basically everything wrong before I finally figured out how to build muscle and change my body composition — and my first real muscle-building phase changed my body faster than those entire 5 years combined. In this episode I'm walking through the exact mistakes that kept me (and keep so many women) stuck: skipping meals, chasing a calorie deficit nonstop, obsessing over burned calories instead of building muscle, under-fueling with carbs, letting the scale run the show, switching plans too soon, and basing everything on how I looked instead of how I felt and performed. If you're doing all the "right" things and still not seeing results, it's probably not about doing more — it's about doing the right things, in the right phase, long enough to actually work. Want a personalized starting point? Grab my nutrition plan, my lean building guide, or my free recipe eBook — links in the show notes.

    How I Learned to Love Training Hard (And Actually Look Forward to Leg Day)

    Confession: I used to skip gym class, and tear workouts out of magazines I could never get myself to actually do. But now? Training hard is one of my favorite parts of my day — and it's not because of how it makes me look.  In this episode I'm walking through how my mindset around exercise completely changed: why "I choose to" beats "I have to," why chasing numbers in the gym instead of the scale changes everything, and why I started treating leg day as something to look forward to instead of something to survive. And ironically, it made my body change and improved my body composition SO much more. This one's part gym talk, part mindset work, and pretty much exactly how I'd explain this to a friend.  Y'all know I like to go in-depth with the details and education on topics like this (so it actually makes sense + is simple for you to apply and see results), so I put all my advice + what I've learned over the years about building muscle while minimizing excess body fat, and put it in a Lean Building Guide. Free to download, because I will never gate-keep this info from the women who value strong > skinny 💪🏼 Download it here: https://lainijojo.com/lean-building-guide  Love you ladies, now go do something your future self will thank you for.

    My Nutrition Non-Negotiables to Stay Lean & Heal My Relationship With Food

    If you've ever felt like eating "right" means tracking every bite, cutting out entire food groups, or white-knuckling your way through the week -- this one's for you. I'm sharing the nutrition non-negotiables I've followed for the past few years that keep me lean and finally healed my relationship with food & stopped the food noise for good. No extreme rules, no restriction, just the simple systems that make eating well feel automatic instead of exhausting. I walk through exactly how I grocery shop, how I plan and prep my meals without overthinking it, why I eat whole foods most of the time, what a balanced meal actually looks like for me, and the mindset shift that finally healed my relationship with food after years of yo-yo dieting.  Grab my free recipe eBook (link below) for the same whole-food meals I talk about in this episode, and DM me @lainijojo on Instagram if you want help setting your macros or building a nutrition plan that actually fits your life. Because you only get ONE body you're going to be spending the rest of your life in, and you'll be eating food for the rest of your life. It's about time we kick diet culture to the curb and learn how to properly fuel and nourish our bodies... so we can just enjoy living LIFE in this body we work so hard for & to take care of. 🤎 Nourish Simply eBook (whole-food, high protein recipes + macros, free to download to make eating healthy, simple): lainijojo.com/nourish-simply Timestamps:  0:00 – Why I'm sharing my nutrition non-negotiables  4:00 – Non-negotiable #1: my grocery shopping system  12:00 – Non-negotiable #2: meal planning & prepping so I stop thinking about food  17:00 – Non-negotiable #3: eating whole foods 95% of the time  26:00 – Non-negotiable #4: what a "balanced" meal actually means  28:00 – Non-negotiable #5: choosing food based on how it makes me feel  31:00 – Non-negotiable #6: hitting my targets & healing my relationship with food

    The Pressure to Be "Enough" Isn't Motivation ... (it's something we're taught as women)

    Ever feel like your worth is tied to how hard you work out, how "perfect" your nutrition is, how you look, or how smart you sound? In this episode, I'm getting real about the invisible pressure I've carried for years — to look a certain way, to say the right thing, to earn my value through achievement — and what changed when I finally started releasing it. We're talking body image, the "shoulds" running your life, why your workouts don't have to be about how you look, and how to find a motivation that's actually yours. If you've ever felt exhausted trying to be enough for everyone else, this one's for you.

    Your Nutrition and Fitness Journey is the Gateway to Personal Development | My Interview on The Through Line Podcast

    This week's episode is a little different — instead of my usual solo or guest format, I'm sharing a conversation I had on my friend Sam's brand new podcast, The Through Line. I was her very first guest ever, and it was such a good, real conversation that I wanted to bring it straight to you guys too. We get into my own health journey — the disordered eating, the years I spent studying exercise science to finally understand what I'd been doing wrong, and what I've learned since coaching hundreds of women from confusion to actual sustainable results. We talk about why so many women are under-muscled and overfed, the real difference between working out and training, and why muscle is the key to the body composition results women actually want. We also dig into how tracking macros is a tool for learning your body's language — not a cage. Sam's podcast is all about women who are done outsourcing their knowledge about their own bodies and lives to whoever's loudest online, and I am genuinely so excited for you guys to hear more from her. Go follow The Through Line wherever you listen — links below. If any of this resonates with you and you want help figuring out your own nutrition and training, grab my macro guide or book a one-time macro count setup — links below. And if you have questions, come find me in my Instagram DMs. 🔗 Macro Guide & One-Time Macro Count Setup: https://lainijojo.com/macro-guide  🔗 The Through Line (Sam's podcast):  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033L7U4vVggQCsQDkps5TW?si=2cd8c68c0c6b49f6 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-through-line/id6788227778  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thethroughlinepodcast?si=c6xBNuqdFgQV2xDf   📩 Questions?
