Ep. 120 I’m Doing Everything Right to Lose Weight.. But Are You Sure?
Most people who say they’re “doing everything right” are missing a few hundred calories somewhere. We break down the usual culprits, from weekend slip-ups to bites, licks, and tastes, plus a simple 7-day check to find out what’s really going on.
Randall and Eve share how they were stalled at 340 pounds eating high-calorie Subway sandwiches daily and doing too much cardio, and what changed once she tracked accurately and adjusted her macros.
In this episode
- Why the problem is usually missing details, not missing effort
- Weekends: How a couple of loose days can erase the week’s deficit
- BLTs (bites, licks, and tastes): The small stuff that never gets logged
- Mental math: Why people tend to underestimate intake by hundreds of calories
- Cooking oils, sauces, and toppings: Measure them
- Liquid calories: Sodas and sweetened coffee drinks add up fast
- Use a food scale: Grams and ounces beat cups and tablespoons
- Steps: Why 8,000+ daily steps matters for a serious fat-loss push
- Alcohol: How it can slow progress, and why Pepsi Zero wins for us
- Know your body: The value of a coach so you don’t waste months on the wrong approach
The 7-day honesty check
- Track everything for 7 days, including bites, butter, oil, alcohol, and snacks, using a food scale
- Weigh yourself every day for those 7 days
- Review your averages for calories, protein, fiber, and alcohol, then compare them to your weight change
- Adjust based on what you find: a calorie deficit, more steps, more fiber, or more protein
- If you’re doing all of it and still stuck, consider lab testing to check for a hormone issue
