Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question submitted by a listener named Rachel about how to transition away from calorie and macro tracking without losing progress.
Food logging can be incredibly effective for both weight loss and maintenance because it helps you be intentional and specific with your choices. Because of that, many women start to wonder how it is possible to maintain results without tracking.
In this episode, I break down 5 practical tips to help you transition from tracking your food to a more intuitive, flexible approach without gaining weight. I also share unfiltered insights from over a decade of coaching women through this exact transition.
We'll talk about what actually works, what does not, and why your fitness identity is often overlooked but critically important when it comes to long term success without tracking.

If you have ever hit 5 or 6pm and thought, "I cannot make one more decision today, especially about dinner," this episode is for you.
On today's Q&A episode, I am answering a listener question from Lindsey about what to do when you feel completely drained by the end of the day and find yourself defaulting to quick, reactive food choices that do not support your weight loss goals.
We are talking about why decision fatigue hits so hard in the evenings and how it quietly sabotages dinner, consistency, and progress when you do not have a simple plan in place.
In this episode, I break down four practical and realistic strategies to help you:
✅ Always have something ready for dinner, even on your busiest days
✅ Reduce decision fatigue so dinner feels automatic instead of overwhelming
✅ Stop relying on last minute choices that lead to overeating or regret
✅ Stay consistent with weight loss without needing more motivation or energy
These are the exact strategies I use with my 1:1 clients to help them stay on track when life is full, schedules are packed, and bandwidth is low.
If dinner is the hardest meal for you to stay consistent with, this episode will help you create a plan that works with your real life.

Is weight loss actually more challenging for petite women?
In today's solo episode, I'm answering a listener question from Erica, a petite woman who feels completely stuck with fat loss, despite "doing everything right."
If you're 5'3" and under, you know the struggle: a 5 pound gain can feel like 10, and progress can feel painfully slow. But the flip side? When petite women lose weight, the results show fast… which can be incredibly motivating!
But this only happens when you're using the right strategy.
In this episode, I'm breaking down realistic, sustainable petite weight loss strategies so you can lose fat without eating under 1,200 calories, overtraining, or feeling restricted. We talk through why fat loss can feel harder in a smaller body, whether shorter women truly have a disadvantage, and the exact adjustments I make with my own petite clients to help them see results.
If you're a petite woman who wants to lose weight, break through a plateau, and finally feel confident in your approach – this episode is for you.
In this episode, you'll learn:
👉🏻 Is weight loss actually harder for petite women?
👉🏻 Why fat loss can feel slower on a smaller frame
👉🏻 Common mistakes petite women make when trying to lose weight
👉🏻 How to lose weight without slashing calories or doing endless cardio
👉🏻 The strategies I use with my 5'3" and under clients to see real results

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a listener question from Rachel about what to do when volume eating is no longer working for fat loss.
If you already make healthy food choices but aren't seeing progress on the scale, this episode will help you identify what else needs to be adjusted in your nutrition approach so fat loss can start happening again.
I break down why eating healthy is not the same as eating in a way that supports fat loss, and I share 4 bite-size, practical tips you can start using today – specifically for women who already "eat well" but feel stuck.
If you're wondering what else you could possibly focus on besides just eating more vegetables to lose weight, this episode will help you pinpoint exactly what to change to break through your plateau.

On today's episode, I'm sitting down solo to answer a question we've been getting a lot inside the Hot & Healthy Community lately: how to determine a proper goal weight for fat loss.
For some women, setting a goal weight can be helpful. For others, it can quietly sabotage their fat loss efforts. That's why in this episode, I'm breaking down five best practices to help you decide whether a goal weight actually makes sense for you — and how to approach it if you choose to set one.
I'm also diving into the parameters that should guide whether a goal weight is appropriate, the research-backed numbers you can use to reality check your expectations, and how I recommend using goal weights as a tool (rather than a source of pressure) while you're actively in a fat loss phase.
By the end of this episode, you'll feel clearer and more grounded in how to set a personal goal weight for your fitness journey, and how to adjust it as your body and goals evolve.
