Summary
If your weight is stuck, nothing is more frustrating than hearing someone say, "Just get into a calorie deficit."
Yes, a calorie deficit is required for fat loss. And if you aren't losing weight, technically you're not in one. But when progress stalls, the worst advice you can give a woman is simply "get into a calorie deficit" without any context on how to actually make that happen in real life.
That's why in today's episode, I'm sharing the real reasons you aren't losing weight that go far beyond the calories you're consuming.
If the scale hasn't budged in weeks (or even months) and you're starting to wonder what you're missing, this episode breaks down the quiet thought patterns and behavior cycles that may be keeping you stuck, and preventing the visible body changes you're working towards.
And if you know what to do but you just can't bring yourself to do it, apply for a coaching spot inside 90 Day Fit Babe Body so I can hold you accountable and help you finally show up for yourself the way you need to! More information HERE

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to another episode of Hot Healthy, |
| 0:10.7 | Never Hungry. |
| 0:11.8 | We have a juicy episode today that was inspired by one comment that was left on one of the really cool bonus, like intimate calls that I have been leading with women inside of Slim Down, Eat Up. |
| 0:24.9 | By the way, if you do love these calls, you are going to love what is coming. |
| 0:31.6 | Coming back. |
| 0:33.0 | I'm already spilling too much. |
| 0:34.6 | Anyway, we have something fun in the works up my sleeve. |
| 0:38.9 | But today, we are going to be talking about why you're not losing weight. And no, the answer is |
| 0:45.3 | you're not in a calorie deficit. We all know a calorie deficit is required for fat loss. |
| 0:51.5 | And if you don't go back through the other 373 episodes on this podcast, |
| 0:57.8 | the amount of free information I have here about achieving your goals is going to open up |
| 1:02.7 | session opportunity not only for success, but the realization that your fitness goals are totally |
| 1:08.1 | possible. However, today's episode is not talking about a |
| 1:11.8 | calorie deficit. I actually want to take on the theme of coaching this month, we are doing a coaching |
| 1:17.9 | promo where we have our summer promo. So essentially, you're getting four weeks added to your |
| 1:23.1 | contract for free when you sign up before March 30th. And this is really significant because all of |
| 1:28.8 | April, May, June, all the way through July, we call it a summer promo because this is going to |
| 1:33.3 | put you through to your summer goal so you can feel your absolute best going into this warm, |
| 1:37.6 | fun time of year. Beyond that, when I think about coaching, coaching is not an environment where you are just given numbers. And I think that really hold so many women back because a lot of women have this perception when it comes to weight loss that just a knowledge of your calories is all you need for the transformation. And maybe you don't really think that, but that's the way. Oftentimes, when we talk about changing certain parts |
| 2:01.7 | about our diet, it's perceived. Hit this mush protein, have this many calories, do this many |
| 2:06.3 | workouts, but the magic of weight loss is not through just the awareness of what you need to do, |
| 2:11.1 | but actually understanding how to apply it to your life, how to actually hit these benchmarks |
