In this episode, we’re getting real about one of the most frustrating parts of a fat loss journey—when you're tracking your food, putting in the work, and still not seeing the scale move. I break down the hidden reasons progress might be stalled, from sneaky bites and licks you don’t log (hi, BLTs) to the surprising truth about how food labels get rounded up or down thanks to FDA guidelines. We talk about why macros alone don’t always tell the full story, how processed foods impact hunger and water retention, and why stress, sleep, and hormones matter more than most people think. Oh—and if you’re lifting and not seeing weight loss? You might be building muscle while burning fat (aka recomping), and that’s a win, even if the scale doesn’t scream it.
If you're ready to ditch the guesswork and follow a proven, no-BS roadmap, grab the FML Fat Loss Blueprint—my self-paced course with 8 power-packed lessons, a built-in macro calculator, and everything you need to start showing up as the bold, badass VIP version of you.
Let’s go from “FML” to Fearlessly Maneuvering Life—together.
