What separates the women who reach their weight loss goals from the ones who feel like they’re always starting again on Monday? After years of working one-on-one with busy women, Leanne and Susie have noticed the same small set of habits again and again. With party season about to start, this is the time to lock them in.
The non-negotiables our most successful clients never skip
This isn’t about willpower or perfection. Leanne explains why protein at breakfast is where most women fall short, why pre-deciding your meals beats relying on willpower at 6pm, and why eating the same calories every day can work against you. Susie covers why the weekend is where most progress quietly disappears. She explains how small extras like arancini and an extra slice of cake can add up to hundreds of calories a week. She also explains why steps and Pilates alone may not be enough, and gives the heart rate range she wants to see in your workouts.
Walnuts, inflammation and the nut calorie myth
New research on older adults from Loma Linda, one of the world’s Blue Zones, links a daily handful of walnuts to a less inflammatory diet. Susie explains who should eat walnuts most days, and why you probably need less of your nut and seed mix than you think. She also explains why your body doesn’t absorb all the calories listed on a packet of whole nuts, and why nut butter doesn’t get the same benefit.
Supermarket review: Streets Solero Mini Dessert Sticks
The ingredient list is long, but each stick is only about 55 calories. Leanne and Susie talk about the common trade-off between lower calories and cleaner ingredients, and why portion-controlled treats can be a smart choice for adults and kids.
Listener question: Is coconut water good for hydration?
It’s marketed as nature’s sports drink, but the sugar content might surprise you. Leanne and Susie explain when coconut water is fine to have and what they recommend instead when you really need to rehydrate.
