  1. Stop weighing yourself, do this instead.

    2h ago

    Stop weighing yourself, do this instead.

    The scale goes up a couple of kilos, and just like that, the day changes. Breakfast gets skipped. An extra workout you don’t have the energy for gets bolted on. That number has been making your decisions for you. And not very good ones. And the one thing that would actually show you if your body is changing? You’ve been dodging it for years. Because you don’t love how you look right now. So out of sight, out of mind. This week, we take the scale off you completely. Matt hasn’t weighed a client since 2010, and he walks you through exactly what he uses instead: a free, repeatable system that tells you, in an honest apples to apples way, whether your body is actually changing. Come and join us as we get into… • Why the scale sabotages more progress than anything else, and how that number starts making your decisions for you • Why progress photos are a legitimate skill, and how most people (plenty of trainers included) screw them up • The number one mistake by a mile, and the “pick and stick” rule that makes your photos actually count • Why you’ll feel the change before you ever see it, and the small wins to watch for while you wait • Courtney on the before photos she refused to look at, and why you take them anyway • How often to shoot them, and what to do when the task lands on “whale week” ------------------------------------------------- Mentioned in this episode: Want to know how long it will actually take you to lose the weight? DM us the word CLASSIFY on ⁠Instagram⁠ and we’ll send you the exact Metabolic Classification tool we run with Academy clients every 12 weeks. Fair warning, you probably won’t like what it tells you. But it will be the truth. Once you’ve had a crack at your own photos, here’s your next step: Matt’s free YouTube training on the most common mistakes that keep people stuck. They’re the bigger ones. Way bigger than photos. Watch it ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ON YOUTUBE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  2. How long does it actually take to lose weight?

    Jul 5

    How long does it actually take to lose weight?

    You’ve lost the same weight more times than you can count. You’ve started on a Monday, gone hard, and watched it fall apart by week three. You’ve asked the one question everyone asks: how long is this actually going to take? And every answer you’ve been handed felt like a sales pitch. 6 weeks. 12 weeks. 28 days. Deep down, you already knew none of them were telling you the truth. Come and join us as we deep dive into the honest answer no one in this industry wants to give you, and the tool that finally makes your real timeline clear… • Why the “6 to 12 weeks” promise is the hook that keeps you starting over • The real reason you fixate on the number, and how it blinds you to the work that actually moves the needle • Why quick fixes only ever shrink one thing: your bank account • The Metabolic Classification, the 2-minute check we’ve run for 16 years to give people an honest timeline insteadof a guess • Why you’ll feel the change 4 to 6 weeks before you ever see it • Losing the weight is only half the job. The elephant in the room is keeping it off • Matt’s 2.5 years (and 2 rebounds), and what those years actually taught him • Why “longer than you want” is the most freeing thing a coach can tell you ------------------------------------------------- Mentioned in this episode: Want the shortcut to your honest timeline? DM us the word CLASSIFY on Instagram and we’ll send you the exact Metabolic Classification tool we run inside the Academy. Then watch the free training on the 4 most common weight loss mistakes, and how to dodge them: Watch it ⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ON YOUTUBE⁠⁠⁠⁠.

  3. 10 signs your coach is stealing your money

    Jun 28

    10 signs your coach is stealing your money

    You've paid for the coach. You followed the plan to the letter. You did the check-ins, sent the photos, ticked every box they handed you. Then the program ended and you were back where you started, lighter in the wallet and not much else. Somewhere in there you started to wonder if you're just the one who can't be helped... You're not. You just couldn't tell the good coaches from the ones happily taking your money every month. Come and join us as we deep dive into the 10 red flags your coach is ripping you off, and the 10 green flags that tell you they're worth every cent... • Why a cookie-cutter meal plan teaches you nothing, and what real nutrition coaching looks like instead • The "custom" plan that was generated by AI in 30 seconds and sold to you as bespoke • Check-in theatre: the copy-paste "great work, keep going!" that feels like accountability and changes nothing • The coach who only ever tells you what you want to hear, and why a yes-coach keeps you stuck • Why "no real qualifications" is everywhere when the word coach isn't protected and anyone can claim it • The reddest flag of them all: a business model built on you never being able to leave • Vanity metrics, and why a sleek funnel and a million followers are not proof anyone can actually coach • The green flags worth paying for, every single time ------------------------------------------------- Mentioned in this episode: THE CLARITY 3: Overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice and not sure what actually matters? The Clarity 3 are the 3 things that genuinely move the needle, minus the noise. DM us the word CLARITY on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ (@theweightlosspodcast) and we'll send it right over.

  4. You know what to do. So why can't you do it? (5 excuses getting in your way)

    Jun 21

    You know what to do. So why can't you do it? (5 excuses getting in your way)

    You know what to do. You've known for years. You can run a household, hold down a job, keep everyone else's life on the rails. So why does this one thing keep beating you? "I know what to do. I just can't do it." If you've ever caught yourself saying that, this episode is for you. Because every time you start, you mean it. And every time, the same five excuses show up to talk you out of it. The ones that sound like solid reasons. The ones that have come out of our mouths too, more times than we'd like to admit. So this week we name them, and we hand you the tools to take them down. No finger-pointing. No shiny-object fluff. Come and join us as we deep dive into... • "It's not my fault, it's my condition": your endo, PCOS or menopause is real, and the moment it becomes a shield for stopping • "It's not happening fast enough": why you will not be the exception, and why slow and boring is the version that actually lasts • "Why are they losing and I'm not": run your own race, take others as inspiration, and measure only against the you from six months ago • "I just don't have the time": the priorities truth nobody wants to hear, and how you build the confidence by stacking up evidence of doing the thing • "I'm too old, too injured, too something": why "too old" is junk, why "too injured" is usually fear talking, and the one rule that beats both • The all-or-nothing Monday restart that wrecks your week, and the five-minute reset that stops it • The one sentence sitting underneath all five excuses, and what to actually do about it ------------------------------------------------- Mentioned in this episode: THE WRECKED WEEK RESET: A free 5-minute reset tool for the moment you think you've wrecked the week and you're ready to write it off until Monday. DM us the word WRECKED on ⁠Instagram⁠ (@theweightlosspodcast) and we'll send it right over.

  5. You don't have to eat food you hate to lose weight

    Jun 14

    You don't have to eat food you hate to lose weight

    You've started more eating plans than you can count. And you've quit nearly every one. You probably put it down to willpower. ...but look closer. Most of those plans, you walkedaway from for the same reason… You hated the food. Or you got so bored of it you couldn't face another bite. There's a name for it, and almost nobody warns you about it. Food boredom. This week we break down why it keeps happening, and how to fix it without giving up the foods you love. Come and join us as we deep dive into… • The three things that drive food boredom: deprivation, habit, and bland and boring (and how to spot eachone in your own eating) • Why 99% of people do not need a meal plan, and the only kind of person who does • The reason cutting a food without replacing it sends you straight to a binge • The food diary tells that give it away: the 4pm rabbit food, the 9pm ice cream, the meals you prep and never touch, the weekend that reads like a different person • Why "clean eating" is the trap that has you off the rails by Saturday • How to build endless variety into the same few meals you already love • The one rule we will die on: food should never be a chore ----------------------------------------------------- Mentioned in this episode: THE AUTOPILOT OFF SWITCH: If you graze on autopilot and only notice once the packet's empty, this is the three-move tool to catch yourself before it happens. DM us the word AUTOPILOT on Instagram (@theweightlosspodcast) and we'll send it right over.

  6. The person who got you here won’t get you out

    The person who got you here won’t get you out

    You’ve tried everything. Nothing’s really stuck. And the version of you reading this is probably pretty frustrated by it all. Somewhere along the way, all those failed attempts stopped being things that happened to you and became part of who you are. "This is just what I do." "This is just who I am." Here’s the hard truth we open the episode on…the person who got you here won’t be the one who gets you out. So we go looking for what’s really been working against you, probably without you even realising it. And we walk you through the model we use to dig it out, one layer at a time. No surface-level fixes. No shiny-object fluff. Come and join us as we deep dive into… • Why the person who got you here won’t be the one who gets you out, and what that means for your next attempt • The triangle model: known and spoken problems, known and unspoken, then the unknown and unspoken stuff buried at the base • Why weight is the symptom, and the real problem is sitting underneath it • The inside-out approach, and why every program that fixes you from the outside in eventually slides back • “Who do I need to become?” The one question that rebuilds you from the core • The snap: the moment change becomes non-negotiable, and how you actually know you’ve hit it • Why none of this is your fault…but it is still your problem to fix ---------------------------------------------------------- Mentioned in this episode - THE TRIGGER FINDER:   A free five-minute diagnosis to identify your three biggest eating triggers, so you can put a plan in place before they take over.  DM us the word TRIGGERS on Instagram (@theweightlosspodcast) and we'll send it right over.

  7. How to trust yourself again

    May 31

    How to trust yourself again

    You've done more diets than you care to admit, let alone count. You've started again on so many Mondays you can't even remember all of them. As these failed attempts piled up, somewhere along the way you created and cemented the identity and belief as being someone who starts but never finishes. The person who goes well...right up until the wheels fall off. And any trust you had in yourself slowly eroded away. In this episode we break down why this is such a massive problem, and where the best places are to start to build up that trust in yourself again...or for the first time. Come and join us as we deep dive into... - Why "just be consistent" is abysmal advice that misses the actual problem - The weight loss industrial complex, and how the repeat-buyer model profits from your distrust - Why you've stopped trusting yourself and don't even realise it (it hides as stress, worry, and self-sabotage) - The trust bank account: small promises kept, compounding into real self-trust - Why doing beats knowing every single time, and why vision boards and manifesting won't save you - How we claw it back after going backwards, without destroying the trust we've already built - The micro-promise method: one day, then a week, then you stack it - Why doing the thing (the work!) creates the identity, and the identity sustains the doing Mentioned in this episode - The WRECKED guide. A five-minute circuit breaker for the moment you've decided you've already blown the week. DM us the word WRECKED on Instagram (@theweightlosspodcast) and we'll send it right over.

    I'll start Monday (again)

    You’ve been telling yourself you’ll start Monday for three weeks. Maybe longer. The gym bag’s been in the boot since the 4th. The fridge has the same three vegetables it did at Christmas. And every morning, the same thought: tomorrow I’ll get back to it. This episode is about what to actually do when you’ve quietly fallen off, and what the on-off cycle is costing you that’s bigger than the kilos. We talk about the silent slide, the difference between a mistake and quitting, why your goals are probably set up to fail before you start, and the single first move to get rolling again without trying to fix everything at once. If you’ve been writing the week off since Tuesday, this is the one to press play on. What You’ll LearnWhy “I’ll start Monday” is the lie that keeps you stuck in the reset cycleThe silent slide: how complacency creeps in and you don’t notice until your clothes feel differentMistakes vs quitting vs failure, and why getting this wrong wastes yearsThe goal-setting trap: wanting something vs thinking you need itWhy starting back at the gym beats starting back with foodThe lowest hanging fruit move that gets your confidence back fastHow to give yourself permission to try again without dragging the last attempt with you Been listening for a while and want the full picture? We made a comprehensive training that walks through the four biggest reasons people stay stuck in the weight loss cycle and what to do instead to make sure you are moving in the right direction consistently.
