Brian, Chris, Melanie talk about plateau’s — what they are, why they happen, and how to deal with them.  We talk about simple solutions that can get the scale moving again, as well as some of the more extreme things you can do.

You’re not on a diet — you’re changing your habits — permanently! How do you adopt an attitude that will bring long-term success? What’s maintenance like?

Melanie, Chris, and Brian get into the several different (practical) strategies for how to make it through the holiday-season (including Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) without blowing up the scale.

We examine almost a year’s worth of Weightix data and talking about what (statistically speaking) causes success in long-term weight loss. Of the people who are losing tons of weight, what are they doing differently from the people who aren’t? And what can YOU do to put yourself in the “success” category. The data here might surprise you.

I’m back from a 7-day family vacation that included a day in Universal Studios and a week-long cruise. Is it possible to pull this off and still eat 100% healthy, lose weight, and stay on plan? Join to find out!

Brian, Melanie, Christopher, and Sue discuss how to handle a weight loss journey when your spouse isn’t on board.  We also talk provide the weight loss tip of the week, and get discuss an amazing recipe you’re not going to want to miss!

Talking about tips and tricks for protein. How to meet your protein goal. Why it matters so much. And a few special segments where we introduce you to some new foods, recipes, and people!

Christopher and I discuss a variety of winning strategies for incorporating “eating out” into your weight loss plan!    

Elisha, Chris, and myself talk about using MyFitnessPal. Everything from meal planning and recipe sharing to how to handle net-carbs with a Keto diet. We also plan a few days worth of meals, live — and Brian plans a days worth of meals that include eating out at a restaurant AND a donut for a snack!

Jamie and I spend the entire episode doing Q&A and frequently asked questions from the group of 100 people about to start the next weightix challenge.  We talk about protein, cheat meals, meal planning secrets, and MUCH more!

Christopher and I talk about what it’s like to do a Weightix Weight-Loss Challenge. Who should participate, what makes them fun, and what makes the Weightix approach special.

Today we’ve got 2 of my kids as guests on the podcast. 12-year-old Abby and 9-year-old Landon as they talk about the differences between Fat Dad of Old and Fit Dad of New — and how my weight loss journey impacted their own lives and their own meals.

Today we’re talking about what’s involved in moving from a keto plan to a traditional plan, and also what’s involved in going the other direction (going from traditional to keto).  What to expect, what’s different, and when you should consider making the switch.

Today we’re talking about the ‘traditional’ approach to weight loss (that’s a fancy way of saying, you can eat carbs and still lose weight). We’ll compare and contrast to keto, talk about the bio-chemical reasons carbs are not the enemy, and help you decide which approach is best for YOU!

Join me with guest Elisha Hayes as we go through the basics of the keto diet. What makes keto special? Is this the right approach for you? Great stuff in this one!!

Melanie and I talk about our favorite fitness gadgets of all time — as well as a few that probably aren’t worth buying. If you’re looking for a way to give yourself an edge, this is well worth a listen!

The scale seems to be the “gold standard” in how people track their progress — but there are better ways. Melanie joins me to talk about what causes those days when you gain a ton of weight, or lose a ton of weight, seemingly for no reason. We talk about why a simple “cheat meal” can cause you to gain a ton of weight, why females deal with this problem more than males, and perhaps some other, better methods should be using to measure progress.

Join me with personal-trainer Heidi as we talk about the gym — what to expect when you go, how to choose a gym, how to choose a personal trainer, how the weight-room works, and how to overcome being intimidated!

Melanie joins me to talk about how weight loss isn’t just one big decision, it’s 100 decisions every day, and how weight-loss is mostly a mental game. Learn how to win those battles, and how to rely on discipline, rather than motivation, to make the scale move!

The specifics about the plan that you’ll be following if you go this route. How I came up with it, why it works, why it’s different from other “diets”, and what a typical Weightix plan consists of. A perfect introduction for someone who wants to learn more about this approach!

In today’s podcast, I talk about signs you should look for to indicate if the diet you’re currently on is likely (or unlikely) to succeed. I talk about metabolic damage from burning muscle, why certain types of diets do more harm than good, and how you can avoid those pitfalls!
