In this episode of the Victory With Vatche Podcast, I talk about the importance of following a nutrition approach you actually enjoy. and not following one just because your friend or colleague saw results with it.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about how to navigate the weekend and how to stay on top of your goals.

The weekend is extremely tough for nutrition.

Your family and friends won't have the same goals as you. And that's okay. You are an adult and if you want to see progress, you need to put forward a conscious effort with your nutrition.

It is not your job to make other people happy by overeating. You don't have to stuff yourself every weekend to have a great weekend.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about the most common mistakes people make for weight loss (that you might be making too)

Weight loss does NOT have to be complicated. It's not easy, we know that. But it doesn't have to be super complicated. That's why we focus on a habit-based approach for weight loss.

If you do not change your lifestyle, you will have a very difficult time keeping the weight off long term. And I'm sure you want that for yourself.

Keeping the weight off is HARD. But want to know what makes it harder? Not changing your lifestyle and accepting that this is a lifestyle change!

Need more help with weight loss / relationship with food? My team and I would love to help you. There's nothing wrong with getting help with all of this.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche Podcast, I talk about weight loss plateaus, and also how to lose the weight and keep it off. If you are doing an unrealistic, unsustainable plan... you shouldn't expect to keep the weight off. If you are tired of being 'on' or 'off' a diet... you need to rethink your approach. You are not going to keep the weight off long term if you are trying to take shortcuts. If you want to stay fit, you will need to continue to do the same things you did to lose weight (portion control, exercise, sleep well, stay hydrated)

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about my staple meals and snacks I enjoy when I am trying to lose body fat.  To be frank, I enjoy similar meals year-round, but I just reduce my overall portions and reduce my snacking.

Also, if you are someone who is NOT seeing results with their weight loss, it can be a great idea to track your food so you know how much / what you are eating. If you decide to rely on your memory, it's going to be hard to remember what you ate.

Tracking your food takes 10-15 minutes out of your day, but it helps take the guesswork out of your nutrition. If you understand how many calories you are eating, you can make adjustments and see results.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about how to lose weight AND keep it off (which doesn't come from being super restrictive and saying goodbye to everything fun)

Fitness doesn't mean eating celery sticks all day and working out 7 days a week.

I hope you guys enjoy this episode.

In this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast, I talk about why you shouldn't be labeling foods as good or bad. This can cause an unhealthy relationship with food, and if you are looking to lose weight AND keep it off in the long run... you want to make sure your relationship with food is at a good spot.

If you are struggling with years or decades of yo yo dieting and trying different fad diets, it probably comes from being TOO RESTRICTIVE! If you are overly restrictive, no wonder you are bouncing from diet to diet.

Eating at night (and eating more than you plan to) is not uncommon, so don't beat yourself up about it. This is something I used to struggle with a lotttt, but hopefully the tips in this episode can help you minimize it.

Eating at night is not inherently bad, but if you eat too many calories from it, it can stop you from seeing the progress you deserve to see.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, I talk about making small changes for fitness. So many times, we think of fitness as something that is restrictive, miserable, and daunting. But fortunately, it doesn't have to be like that. This fitness stuff can be simple, but that doesn't mean it's going to be easy by any means. This stuff is hard, but you are capable of doing hard things. I want you to know that!! If you are struggling with getting started, this episode is one you won't want to miss.

If you are on a mission to become healthier, it's important to pick a routine that is REALISTIC and SUSTAINABLE.

I know it's not glamorous to say you should take the slower route, but it's really important that you remember this: there is no finish line! there is no race to fitness and fat loss. If it takes you a bit longer to reach your goals, who cares.

I want to make sure you not only lose weight but also keep it off! In order to do that, it comes down to creating healthy habits and eliminating poor ones. And that doesn't happen in a few weeks of cutting out carbs lol.

View Details

In this episode, I talk about some practical and useful tips on how to stay on track during the weekend with your eating.

In this episode of the Victory with Vatche podcast, Coach Vatche goes over the steps you should take after overeating.

There are a lot of common mistakes people make after overeating, and I want to make sure you are not making the same mistakes I did when I first started out with fitness.

View Details

You can eat carbs and be healthy. You can eat carbs and still lose weight. I know it's been ingrained in you for years that you can't eat carbohydrates and lose weight at the same time...but you can!

Just like any food out there, you should be mindful of your portion sizes.

Too much of any food or nutrient is going to cause you to store body fat. That's from eating too many calories. That's not from a specific food.

View Details

This episode was all over the place, kinda.

But in this episode, we will talk about the importance of setting up realistic expectations, doing something is better than nothing, and how to practice moderation in your diet.

View Details

A lot of things have end dates and deadlines.

But with health and fitness, there is no finish line.

When you give yourself a finish line, and a strict deadline to reach your goals, you are going to be bummed out and disappointed when you don't reach them in a certain amount of time.

You shouldn't be viewing health and fitness as this thing that you pick up for a few weeks and then put it back in the closet to collect dust.

Health and fitness is a lifelong journey, and it's a lifestyle change.

When you view it like that, you are going to be more kind and forgiving to yourself going forward.

View Details

If you are seeking results with fat loss, or with muscle gain... you won't get there from solely relying on exercise and activity.

If you want to start seeing results (losing fat, gaining muscle) then it is crucial that you have your diet and nutrition dialed in.

You can exercise all you want, but if you aren't mindful of how much you are eating, you are going to spin your wheels and not get anywhere!

View Details

When it comes to fitness, you shouldn't be approaching it with that 'all or nothing' mindset that so many of you struggle with.

You do NOT have to be perfect when it comes to fitness.

You are a human being, you are going to slip up.

Stop setting so many unrealistic expectations.

Start small, and build upon it. You don't have to go from 0 to 100 overnight. That's how you get burned out and it makes you want to give up altogether.

View Details

If you are serious about reaching your fitness goals (or are super frustrated that you're not seeing the progress you want) you want to make sure you are planning ahead.

You plan ahead for celebrations, events, your kids' activities... so you definitely should be planning ahead for your health and fitness!

In this episode, Coach Vatche talks about the importance of planning ahead and some simple tips to implement for your week.

Fitness does NOT have to be complicated. It really just comes down to making a few adjustments and planning ahead (especially if you're busy)

Weight loss is tough. There's no doubt about it.

If you want to start dropping some pant sizes, you need to give this episode a listen!

When it comes to losing weight, it's not out of the ordinary for people to be obsessed with the scale. We all want that number to go lower and lower every week.

Some weeks, the scale isn't going to budge. Some days, our weight is going to spike up and the scale is going to spit out a number you don't want to see.

It's easy to get caught up in the scale and be emotionally attached to it.

In this episode, Coach Vatche goes over 6 awesome signs of progress that are often overlooked when it comes to losing weight / fitness.

If you are on a weight loss journey and are frustrated because the scale is not cooperating with you, this episode will help you out a lot.

There are so many signs of progress that don't have to do with the scale.

If you are struggling to lose weight and keep it off, this episode is for you! Stop focusing on only short term results. You need to focus on creating healthy habits, eliminating your poor habits, and focus on transitioning into a healthy lifestyle.

If you are not losing weight, it's because you are eating too many calories. If you don't know how many calories you are eating throughout the day, it would be extremely beneficial for you to keep track of your food intake.

Instead of following restrictive diets, extreme weight loss protocols, and unrealistic approaches... start focusing on sustainability!

Eat more nutritious foods. Stay active throughout the week. Keep yourself busy. Stop focusing on short term results. Start focusing on making a lifestyle change.

If you are frustrated because you are not seeing weight loss results, you need to be more mindful of your calorie intake.

Even if you decide to NOT track your calories, that's okay. Just know that calories count regardless if you decide to count them.

If you are NOT losing weight, it's because you are eating too many calories. These calories can come from many different sources and can cause you to gain weight instead of lose weight.

Do you finally want to lose weight and get the ball rolling on your weight loss journey? I want you too! In order to do so, it would be very beneficial of you to track your calorie intake to learn more about the foods you are eating.

In this episode, Coach Vatche covers common culprits of added calories that can be hindering your weight loss progress.

Instead of blaming sugar, carbs, fat, eating at night, and everything else under the sun, try being more mindful of your calorie intake!

Calories are KING when it comes to weight loss. If you are not seeing results in your weight loss efforts, it's because somehow, some way, you are eating too many calories.

If you are on a mission to lose weight, you will encounter some obstacles and challenges.

Especially if you are someone that comes from a background of not being conscious of your nutrition.

Weight Loss Takes Time - Giving Up Won't Help !

There will be times where you are hungry. There will also be times where you slip up. 

When your goal is weight loss, the most important thing you can do is be CONSISTENT.

There will be days where you don't feel like putting in the work. There will be days where you question why you even started in the first place.

Weight loss is tough, there's no doubt about it. You will encounter some tough situations.

But just know that it will all be worth it in the end!

If you are struggling with weight loss, it's important to do an audit on your daily habits. Are your habits interfering with your progress? They might be.

In this episode, you'll find out 6 simple and effective habits you can start incorporating into your daily life starting today.

If you want to eliminate poor habits and build up healthy ones, it's going to take time and effort, but the more you put it off, the more you will keep yo-yo dieting and spinning your wheels.

When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, it's all about sustainability and longevity.  You shouldn't approach weight loss as an 8-week program that you can stop all together once you are 'done'.

You should be looking for ways to improve so you can lose the weight in a healthy manner, keep it off,  and be confident in the new habits that you built up during your journey.

When you are constantly being pushed magical weight-loss teas, magical weight loss pills, and waist trainers / sweat bands... fat loss can be confusing and downright daunting. Fortunately, Coach Vatche has the keys to fat loss success in this episode of the Victory With Vatche podcast.

Instead of focusing all of your energy on doing hours on the treadmill,  you should focus on the few things Coach Vatche talks about in this episode.

Losing fat sustainably and effectively is crucial if your goal is to keep the weight off. Losing weight and gaining it back is not uncommon. The reason why? Because people are so focused on short term results and forget to think about the long term. Building good habits and ditching your poor habits are so crucial and you should be focusing on that!

If you lose weight but keep your poor habits, you are just going to gain the weight back that you worked so hard to lose in the first place! I don't want that to happen to you.

Learn to make fitness a lifestyle and stop thinking about it as an 8-week program that you can throw away when you're done!

Whenever weight loss is brought up, some people have different opinions about how you should go about losing weight. Some might suggest going low-carb or some people might suggest cutting out ALL 'fun' foods like pizza and donuts (food you really enjoy).

Look, a lot of information out there is confusing and it can make weight loss a really daunting task. I get that!

You don't have to be so extreme with your diet. You just need to track your calories.

In order to lose weight, you need to adhere to a calorie deficit consistently!

In this episode, I talk about why calories are the most important thing when it comes to weight loss and how you should be tracking your calories in order to make weight loss less confusing.

If you want to lose weight, you don't have to only eat organic, clean, natural, non-gmo foods.

Yes, quality is important when it comes to your health. I am an advocate for eating fruits, veggies, legumes, etc.

But quantity (calories) is the most important when your goal is weight loss.

Just so you know, I'm sure I say the word 'calories' 100 times throughout this episode.

Thanks for watching, and as always, I appreciate the support!!

When it comes down to it  - we really have 2 options when it comes to our bodies and health

Do we live a life filled with proper nutrition and exercise? Or, do we choose to live a life with no exercise and no regard for nutrition?

Hitting the gym, tracking food intake, and eating more nutritious foods is hard. There's no doubt about it.

But being overweight, unhappy with your body, and being more at risk for certain diseases is ALSO hard!

You need to choose your hard. What are you going to choose? Because I know for a fact you will be better off by choosing the diet and nutrition route.

As a teenager who would only fit into 3XL shirts and size 40 waist pants, let me tell you something: Being obese and not confident in my own skin was SO HARD.

Joining a gym for the first time, eating 'right' for the first time, and building healthier habits is also hard.

What's it going to be? You have to choose your hard.

When it comes to fitness and losing weight, many people have this all-or-nothing mentality.

You don't have to be absolutely perfect (because no one is) when you are trying to lose weight or gain some muscle.

What you do MOST of the time is what is most important. Don't sweat the small things.

If you missed a workout or overate with your family over dinner, that's okay. Just get right back on track.

In this episode, I discuss why getting right back on track is the way to go. I also talk about consistency and how your weight loss journey will help you build life-long healthy habits that you can use for the rest of your life.

In this episode, Coach Vatche talks about how the overconsumption of liquid calories can really hinder weight loss progress for many people out there.

Drinking sugary beverages everyday and throughout the week can add hundreds to thousands of calories to your diet every week without you even realizing it.

Minimizing or eliminating calories from sugary drinks and beverages and replacing them with real solid foods can help you stay more full, and this will help you stay on track during your weight loss journey.
