How to Actually Defeat Obesity: 5 Tips the Fitness Industry Ignores
Summary In this video, I share my personal journey of successfully overcoming and maintaining my weight loss after hitting a peak weight of 222 pounds. After years of chronic dieting and gaining weight with each of my three pregnancies, I realized I was caught on a "weight loss roller coaster" and needed a permanent lifestyle change rather than a quick fix. I outline a practical, mindset-driven approach to weight management that focuses on long-term sustainability, radical self-honesty, and emotional balance, rather than the overly restrictive and often miserable rules pushed by the mainstream fitness industry.

Become A Weight Loss Machine While Remaining Human (Computer Programming Applied to Weight Loss)
Summary In this video, I share how my background in freelance software testing helped me lose 80 pounds by teaching me to think like a computer. While humans are emotional, computers are predictable—they simply follow their programming. I realized that if I could "write a program" for my weight loss and run it consistently, I could bypass the emotional pitfalls that usually lead to quitting.

I Gained 5 Pounds Over Night? (Why you shouldn't freak out)
In this video, I tackle the panic that sets in when you step on the scale and see a sudden 5-pound jump overnight. The most important thing to remember is that you did not gain 5 pounds of fat overnight. To do that, you would have to consume over 15,000 calories in a single day, which is nearly impossible for most people.

The 150 Calorie Mistake That Stops Weight Loss
Summary In this video, I explain how fine the line is between a caloric deficit and a caloric surplus. Often, we think weight gain is caused by massive overeating, but it's usually the result of small daily habits—like "death by a thousand paper cuts". Just 150 extra calories a day can lead to gaining 15 pounds in a year, but the good news is that this math works in reverse, too. You don't need to overhaul your entire life or ban your favorite foods to see results; you just need to make small, consistent adjustments.

Dirty Fasting: Will It Destroy Your Weight Loss Results? (Video)
Summary In this video, I explain why I choose "dirty fasting" over "clean fasting" and how this method helped me lose 80 pounds and maintain my weight in a healthy BMI range. While "clean" fasting rules often demand water only (and absolutely no flavors, mints, or sweeteners), I found that approach rigid and difficult to stick to. My "dirty" fasting method allows for coffee with half-and-half, unsweetened flavored sparkling waters, and the occasional mint or gum during my fasting window.

Live Replay: January 2, 2026
[lyte id="Ndmm6U_93Bo" /] Summary In this first live stream of 2026, I kicked off the year by committing to weekly Friday Q&A sessions to help keep everyone motivated. I shared a bit about my own journey—losing 80 pounds (from 222 lbs to 142 lbs) and maintaining that loss since 2018 using OMAD (One Meal A Day). I fielded questions from the community about the flexibility of fasting windows, how to handle medical conditions like hernias while fasting, and the nuances of tracking your steps versus just walking for time. The main theme of this session was that there is no "magic" to the method—whether you eat in a one-hour window or a four-hour window, or whether you count steps or minutes—consistency and a caloric deficit are what ultimately drive results.

Stop Calling It Poison: How to Finally Make Peace with Food
[lyte id="ca-4XFo5mbo" /] Summary In this video, I share why I refuse to label any food as "junk" or "poison," and how shifting my mindset was a critical part of my weight loss journey. Back in 2014, when I hit my lowest point, I initially blamed food corporations for my struggles. However, I eventually realized that no one forced me to eat anything—I made those choices myself.

Video: Ditch the Food Guilt for Good [And Lose Weight]
Summary In this video, I share the crucial mindset shift that helped me break a lifelong cycle of yo-yo dieting and finally lose 80 pounds. Growing up, I was taught to categorize food into "good" and "bad" lists. This created a toxic cycle where I felt resentful when eating "good" foods and guilty when eating "bad" ones. This guilt often led to overeating and regaining weight every time I finished a diet.
