    55. What I Ate (and Drank) on Vacation: A Nutrition Coach’s Honest Debrief

    I just got back from a restful 20th anniversary trip to Baja California with my husband, Steve. In this episode I walk you through exactly how I used the same tools I teach my clients, and I’m being honest about where I failed. You’ll hear: Why I chose not to diet before the trip, even at the higher end of my happy weightHow I used body image flexibility and defusion when I didn't like how my body looked in the full-length mirror in our hotel roomHow I used the pleasure scale and “the wanting matching the liking” to plan one special anniversary dinner and eat balanced the rest of the time (hello, fresh grilled fish tacos and ceviche)The “future self” exercise that gave me permission to nap every day without guiltAnd my biggest failure on the trip...This episode is for you if you want to enjoy vacation, eat with flexibility and still treat your body like it matters, without the all-or-nothing swing. Failing well is a skill, and it can be learned. Mentioned in this episode: Episode 26, “Liking Your Body on Vacation, Part One.” Want my personalized support? I’d love to work with you 1:1.

    54. REWIND: Your Inner Critic Is Not Your Enemy: How to Coexist with that Nasty Voice Inside of Your Head

    Work with Aimee: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co IG: @coachaimee.nutrition While I’m away on vacation (and enjoying a head cold without a voice), please enjoy this replay of one of my most popular episodes, all about your inner critic. You know the voice. It pipes up after a “bad” meal, when you catch your reflection, or when you’re getting dressed, and it sounds a lot like the truth. In this episode, I explain where that harsh inner voice comes from, why it’s actually trying to protect you, and why criticizing yourself into change almost never works. Drawing on compassion-focused approaches to behavior change, I share how to recognize your critic when it shows up, separate its voice from your own, and start responding with a kinder, steadier inner coach. This isn’t about lowering your standards. It’s about creating the conditions where real, lasting change becomes possible. If you’ve ever felt like you’re your own worst enemy with food or your body, this one’s for you.

You've heard it from the fitness crowd. But that's not how behavior works. Your thoughts create your emotions, and your emotions drive your actions. That means the way you feel about eating well matters a lot. In this episode, I explain why your brain defaults to temptation. It wants the seven cookies today and doesn't care about fat loss a few months from now. Then I share the brain tool that helps you zoom out and choose differently: the Dreamy Why.

    52. The Big Mindset Shift for High Achievers that Leads to Forever Fat Loss

    Join my free workshop: The Problem Is Not Your Plate 📅 Tuesday, October 6, 2026 🕕 6pm Central / 7pm Eastern 💻 Live on Zoom (I'll send the replay to everyone who registers) This episode is just the starting point. In the workshop, I'm going deeper into the behavior patterns and brain tools that help you change how you eat without white-knuckling it. 👉 Register here: The Problem Is Not Your Plate Connect with me Instagram: @coachaimee.nutrition Website: framenutrition.co If you're the person who crushes every goal at work, runs the household like a well-oiled machine, and still can't figure out why food feels like a constant fight, this episode is for you. I'm digging into why high achievers struggle with eating well. It usually isn't a lack of knowledge. It's that the same suffering-equals-success mindset behind your career backfires when it comes to your body. I talk about why strict diets and SMART-goal-style fat loss lead to the restrict-and-rebound cycle. I also share the two belief shifts that make lasting change possible. In this episode: Why food is simple, people are complicated, and fat loss is brain work, not food workThe "executive eating pattern"Why timelines, goal weights, and "after photos" set you up for the wrong mindsetShifting your motivation from threat to caretaking, so it's something you can keep doing foreverHappy Eating 💋

    50. Why the Scale Has So Much Power Over You (And How to Take It Back)

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co Want more of me? Join my email newsletter ❤️ IG: @coachaimee.nutrition And I'd love to hear from you! We all have a story about the scale. For some of us that number can end a day before it's begun, decide whether we eat, or convince us we've failed when every other metric says we're winning. This week I want to talk about what's really going on when the scale has that much power over us, because I promise it isn't about the number. I get into why "just stop weighing yourself if it upsets you" is hiding from the problem instead of solving it, why knowing all about water retention still doesn't stop the spiral, and how your brain quietly turned a goal weight into a stand-in for safety. Then I walk you through the actual brain work that loosens the grip that number has on you. If the scale has ever made you cry, refused to live in your house, or ruined a doctor's appointment, this one's for you.

    49. Calories Are Not Your Enemy

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co Want more of me? Join my email newsletter ❤️ IG: @coachaimee.nutrition And I'd love to hear from you! Calories have a terrible reputation, and it's costing us. This week, I make the case that calories deserve a PR revamp: they're not the enemy, they're your body's life force. I'll get into why almost everyone under-counts what they eat, why that's a design feature of being human rather than a personal failing, and why it's actually good news if fat loss comes down to calories and not your hormones. Compassion-first, shame-free, and backed by the research. The research (sources) Lichtman et al. (1992) — obese subjects under-reported intake by ~47% and over-reported exercise by ~51%; metabolic rates were normal. NEJM. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1454084/Champagne et al. (2002) — registered dietitians under-reported by 223 cal/day; non-experts by 429 cal/day. J Am Diet Assoc. https://www.jandonline.org/article/S0002-8223(02)90316-0/abstractBajunaid et al. (2025) — largest doubly-labeled-water dataset to date; the general population misreports intake by ~27%. Nature Food. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-024-01089-5Storz & Ronco (2025) — among 18,150 adults, dieters under-reported nearly twice as often as everyone else (23% general population vs. 44% of low-carb dieters). Current Developments in Nutrition. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12538426/Tooze et al. (2004) — fear of negative evaluation was a top predictor of under-reporting, especially in women. Am J Clin Nutr. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15113717/A note before you listen This episode talks about calories directly, including the small bites and tastes that add up over a day. It's meant to take the fear out of the subject, not add to it. But if numbers are a tender spot for you right now, take what serves you and leave the rest.

    48. "I Know What to Do, I Just Don't Do It": How to Create Your Own Motivation

    For 1:1 coaching inquiries, find me: Web: framenutrition.co Email: aimee@framenutrition.co Want more of me? Join my email newsletter ❤️ IG: @coachaimee.nutrition And I'd love to hear from you! You dominate everything else in your life: your career, your finances, your workouts. So why does food feel like the one place your willpower goes to die? This episode unpacks the sentence I hear more than any other: "I know what to do, I just can't do it." Spoiler: it's not a discipline problem, and there's nothing wrong with you. I get into why fear and shame spark the kind of motivation that burns hot and dies in three days, the difference between extrinsic and high-quality intrinsic motivation, and a field of study most people have never heard of that lets you create drive on purpose instead of waiting around for it to show up. I walk through "promotional" tools (yes, daydreaming counts), the brain glitch that makes your goals uninteresting when faced with temptation, and the two big questions that help you discover your Deep Why. If your motivation keeps ghosting you like a bad-boy crush, this one's for you.
