What the Thutt? a 'How Did I Get Fat, Again?' Podcast: Recent Episodes
Paulo
A relatable and REAL fitness podcast for those who struggle with losing weight, or are great at losing weight but even greater at putting it back on, and ending up in this loop.
When we see Body Transformation results, we only see the end product; the amazing Before & After. But, what about the journey?? Enter host Paulo and "What The Thutt" Podcast!
Joined with renowned Psychiatrist Dr Tom who has never dieted a day in his life, but there to seek to understand behaviours and offer insight into why and how we get fat, again... and again.
Very real. Very honest. Very entertaining.
Dr Tom & Paulo are back to discuss what's been happening the past months!
Gaining weight back on; Fitness competitions; and responding to instagram messages!

We've all encountered that Saboteur when we've tried to do something good for ourselves like losing weight. I've encountered several!
This podcasts explores the art of saboteurs with ways of managing them. These saboteurs can be friends, families, strangers, and even yourself! But what do we do when we encounter them? Listen to my experiences with them and see if you can relate (you most likely will)
Of course we discuss this with the usual fun, wit, banter and fun, but very real, nonsense. So, join hosts Paulo & Dr. Tom and hear what we have to say.

Congratulations! You've lost the weight!... Now what?
Let's talk about the realities of what weight loss looks like AFTER you've lost the weight.
Too often we focus (glamorise, romanticise) the BEFORE & AFTER pic and weight loss process, but we neglect to discuss what life is like after the strict weight loss journey/programme.
What does life look like outside of a strict diet? Join hosts Paulo & Dr. Tom and hear what we have to say.
So, picture this scenario. If there's junk food lying around, and you ask a friend/partner to get rid of it (because you're trying not to eat bad) but they don't; and because it's still there, you end up eating it, who's fault is it? Who is accountable?
This is the issue of accountability that we are tackling today. The BLAME game when dieting goes wrong cue dramatic music
Also we look at strategies to avoid this and how to hold yourself accountable with your weight loss and weight loss journey.
After losing weight, one of the biggest struggles with anyone is keeping the weight off. Finding that balance with maintaining your weight, while still enjoying eating, socialising and generally Living Life!
After losing 17.4kgs after 45days, I'm in the MAINTENANCE phase of my own challenge- where I am working on ways to keep the weight off and put an end to my lifelong yoyo dieting and yoyo weight changes.
Sound familiar? Then you should subscribe and listen to What The Thutt Podcast! In this episode we discuss the struggles with maintenence and looking at ways to overcoming obstacles and stopping the cycle of weight-gain, after weight-loss.
The challenge is over and it's time to sit down with Dr. Tom & look at the 45 Day Challenge and give a full honest review. Breaking down:
- The Eating/Food
- The workouts
- My Results
- Thoughts on a 45 day/ 8 week challenge

So the challenge is over- it's time to enjoy ourselves a bit without hating ourselves (Something Paulo had to learn on the podcast).
It's been a week since the end of the challenge and there has definitely been some binge eating going on.
This binge eating could easily spiral out of control and lead you back to unhealthy eating habits; but this doesn't need to be the case.
Tune in to hear about how we incorporate the 'Post Challenge Eating Phase' to combat this downward spiral. And hear our hosts experience going through this phase, and how we seek to move forward towards a healthy maintenance phase.

Recaps looking into:

Eating challenges during events like 'Valentines Day'

There is a fear of not being in enough of a calorie deficit to warrant a good weight loss amount, especially when this weight loss is part of a transformation challenge where how much you lose combined with your 'After' photo determines your 'success'.
Paulo struggles with this but is determined to follow the meal plan strictly to see if what is prescribed is good enough for a successful transformation. Listen to him discuss this change in this podcast episode.
