• 185 ~ The 20 Minute Rule 18.05.2026 16min

  Send us Fan Mail What if one small piece of information completely changed the way you thought about hunger, fullness, and why losing weight has felt so difficult? In this episode, I’m talking about something I call The 20 Minute Rule. It is the only true “rule” in my entire methodology, and understanding it changed the trajectory of my own 200+ pound weight loss journey. The idea is simple: your stomach needs time to tell your brain that it’s full. Which means if you’re eating quickly, distr...

  Send us Fan Mail In this Q&A, I answer four questions that come up during weight loss and maintenance.

• 183 ~ You Need Safety Nets 11.05.2026 29min

  Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I talk about one of the most powerful tools you can use to lose weight and change your relationship with food: safety nets. These simple boundaries help you stay in a calorie deficit, stop the mindless eating that sneaks in throughout the day, and rebuild trust with yourself while you work on long term change. I share examples from my own 201 pound loss and from inside Flamingo Forum, including things like eating with the fridge door open, grabbing bites duri...

What I cover in this episode: • Why TDEE numbers are different across apps and calc...
• 181 ~ Weight Loss and Time 04.05.2026 33min

  Send us Fan Mail Weight loss takes time. You already know that. But knowing it and actually living it are two very different things. In this episode, I’m getting real about what “this takes time” actually looks like when you’re in it. The boredom, the frustration, the weeks where nothing happens, and the mental work required to keep going anyway. We’re talking about expectations, patience, and why setting yourself up for a longer timeline will actually make this easier, not harder. I also ...

In this one, I’m answering your questions about calorie deficits, emotional eating, tracking tricky foods, and a more personal question about inspiration.

In this episode, we cover: Whether you need to hit your calorie target every day Why under-eating can lead to burnout and fatigue&n...
• 179 ~ Maintenance Mode 27.04.2026 35min

  Send us Fan Mail You lost the weight. What now? In this episode, I’m diving into maintenance mode. The part no one really prepares you for, but the part that actually matters the most long-term. Because here’s the reality. Most people regain the weight. Not because they’re lazy or broken, but because they never learned how to maintain it. So today, I’m breaking down what maintenance mode actually looks like, why it feels so uncomfortable at first, and how to navigate it without spiraling ever...

  Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another Weight Loss Q&A. This one digs into 5 more listener questions. What's your calorie limit count?But how do you actually change your relationship with food? I hear it all the time and I don't understand HOW.With all the weight loss what did you do about excess skin?

• 175 ~ Accuracy Issues 13.04.2026 38min

  Send us Fan Mail If you feel like you’re doing everything right and the scale still isn’t moving this episode is for you. This is one of the hardest conversations to have in weight loss, and it’s one that brings up a lot of feelings. Frustration, denial, anger, shame, all of it is completely normal. But it’s also one of the most important things to understand if you want to keep going. Because most of the time, when the scale isn’t moving, it’s because there are accuracy issues in your tracki...
• 174 ~ Weight Loss Q&A XXX 08.04.2026 30min

• 173 ~ Comforting, Rewarding, Coping 06.04.2026 27min

  Send us Fan Mail Emotional eating gets talked about a lot but not in a way that actually helps you understand or manage it. In this episode, I’m breaking emotional eating down into three core drivers: comfort, reward, and cope and once you see it through this lens, everything starts to make a lot more sense. This is not about trying to “fix” emotional eating or eliminate it completely. That’s not realistic and it’s not the goal. This is about learning how to work with it instead of feeling...
• 172 ~ Weight Loss Q&A XXIX 01.04.2026 53min

• 171 ~ Goals and Expectations 30.03.2026 33min

  Send us Fan Mail This week, I’m doing something a little different. I’m sharing part of a presentation I created for the Flamingo Forum because this is one of the most important pieces of the weight loss process, and it’s not something we talk about nearly enough. We’re talking about goals and expectations. Most people focus on their goal Very few people stop to think about their expectations And that’s where things start to fall apart Because you can have a perfectly reasonable goal, but if ...
• 170 ~ Weight Loss Q&A XXVIII 25.03.2026 19min

  Send us Fan Mail Weight loss questions are back, and this one covers everything from calorie deficits to carbs to managing hunger during the day.

• 169 ~ Weight Loss Is Hard 23.03.2026 30min

  Send us Fan Mail Last week, I talked about the most important weight loss truth. This week, we’re starting at the beginning. Weight Loss Truth number one is simple, but it matters more than most people realise. Weight loss is hard. This episode is about pushing back against the idea that it should be easy, quick, or effortless. Because when you expect it to be easy and it’s not, that’s when self-blame creeps in. And that’s where people get stuck. There is nothing wrong with you for finding th...
