The Weight Loss Podcast

Matt and Courtney

The Weight Loss Podcast is for people who want to learn and build the skills, traits, habits and mindset necessary to not just "lose weight", but to become the person that can keep it off, improve upon their results if they desire and become fully self-sufficient with their health, exercise, nutrition and overall habits. We best help people who are tired of the diet/program merry-go-round, want to cut out the noise and double-speak and focus on a real-world, common-sense approach that takes away the guesswork, understands their struggles, treats them like adults and sets them up for life.

  • 266 - How to track without counting calories

    You've done the counting.


    Calories, macros, points, the little scale on the kitchen bench.


    You got REALLY good at it, if we're honest.


    And you're STILL stuck.


    Still tired by 3pm, still dodging the camera, still guessing why nothing shifts when you're "doing everything right."


    So this week we're just going to come out and say it. You DO NOT need to count a single calorie to change your body.


    Matt's gone 16 years and NEVER once put a client on a calorie counting app...and he's about to show you exactly what hedoes instead.


    It takes about 30 seconds a meal.


    No calculator, no barcode scanning, no slaving over numbers that teach you NOTHING. Who knew.


    Because a calorie total gives you exactly one thing...how much you ate.


    The why behind it, the bit you could actually fix? Hasn't got a clue.


    2 days can score exactly the same on paper and hide 2 completely different problems...and the number will NEVER see it.


    Come and join us as we deep dive into how to actually read your own eating, so you stop guessing and start knowing what's holding you back.


    • Why calorie counting always dies off, usually before it's taught you a single thing about yourself


    • The 2 food diaries that both score 3 out of 5 and hide 2 totally different problems (one's a sleep problem, one's a prepproblem)


    • Why "steak and veg" scribbled in your notes app tells a coach absolutely nothing


    • The 40% of your week most people NEVER record, and why it's the exact part that matters most


    • The one thing a meal plan can never teach you: how food actually makes YOUR body feel


    • "If you're doing everything right and you're not changing, you're not doing everything right." Where the holes really hide


    • How 7 days of honest recording tells you more than a YEAR of counting ever did


    • The one number Matt still swears by (and no, it's not on the scale)


    Mentioned in this episode:

    "How long will it take me to lose weight?"

    We have the tool that helps you answer this exact question.


    You won't like the answer, but it will be the truth!

    DM us the word CLASSIFY on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/theweightlosspodcast/) and we'll send it right over.


    Matt also recorded a free YouTube training on the 4 biggest mistakes that keep people stuck, and how to stop making them.

  • 265 - 99% of People Warm Up Wrong. Here's the Right Way.

    You show up.


    Even on the days you would rather not.


    You put your bag down, you get your session done, you go home.


    And you have wondered more than once whether all that effort is actually paying off like it should...


    Or if you are just doing what everyone else in the room is doing and hoping it works.


    Now for the awkward part...


    99% of people in the gym warm up completely wrong, and have no idea they are doing it.


    A quick jog on the treadmill before chest day.


    Or nothing at all, straight under the bar, cold.


    Either way, you have been leaving performance on the table and raising your risk of injury without realising it.


    This week Matt hands over the exact warm-up protocol he has used with every client since 2010, the one he calls a cheat code because it works every single time.

     

    Come and join us as we deep dive into...

     

    • Why jogging on the treadmill before a weight session warms up the wrong body entirely (make it make sense!)


    • The funeral we are holding for treadmill warm-ups, endless pyramid sets, and R.I.P. to the trainer who told you to jog for 10 minutes before your chest session


    • The 5-set cheat code that primes you to lift heavier every session, in under 10 minutes


    • Why more warm-up actually makes you weaker, and the sweet spot most people blow straight past


    • The 550kg leg press lesson: what happens when you walk in cold and load the bar anyway


    • How the warm-up doubles as free practice, so your form is dialled in before the set that counts


    • The gym habit that, once you see it, you cannot unsee (start counting how many people around you are getting it wrong)

     

    Mentioned in this episode:

     

    The Warm-up Calculator. Our free tool.


    Tell it what you lifted last session and it hands you your exact 5 warm-up sets, weight and reps, for that exercise. No maths, no spreadsheet, no guessing.

  • 264 - Stop weighing yourself, do this instead.

    The scale goes up a couple of kilos, and just like that, the day changes.


    Breakfast gets skipped.


    An extra workout you don’t have the energy for gets bolted on.


    That number has been making your decisions for you. And not very good ones.


    And the one thing that would actually show you if your body is changing? You’ve been dodging it for years.


    Because you don’t love how you look right now. So out of sight, out of mind.


    This week, we take the scale off you completely.


    Matt hasn’t weighed a client since 2010, and he walks you through exactly what he uses instead: a free, repeatable system that tells you, in an honest apples to apples way, whether your body is actually changing.


    Come and join us as we get into…


    • Why the scale sabotages more progress than anything else, and how that number starts making your decisions for you


    • Why progress photos are a legitimate skill, and how most people (plenty of trainers included) screw them up


    • The number one mistake by a mile, and the “pick and stick” rule that makes your photos actually count


    • Why you’ll feel the change before you ever see it, and the small wins to watch for while you wait


    • Courtney on the before photos she refused to look at, and why you take them anyway


    • How often to shoot them, and what to do when the task lands on “whale week”

  • 263 - How long does it actually take to lose weight?

    You’ve lost the same weight more times than you can count.


    You’ve started on a Monday, gone hard, and watched it fall apart by week three.


    You’ve asked the one question everyone asks: how long is this actually going to take?


    And every answer you’ve been handed felt like a sales pitch.


    6 weeks. 12 weeks. 28 days.


    Deep down, you already knew none of them were telling you the truth.


    Come and join us as we deep dive into the honest answer no one in this industry wants to give you, and the tool that finally makes your real timeline clear…


    • Why the “6 to 12 weeks” promise is the hook that keeps you starting over


    • The real reason you fixate on the number, and how it blinds you to the work that actually moves the needle


    • Why quick fixes only ever shrink one thing: your bank account


    • The Metabolic Classification, the 2-minute check we’ve run for 16 years to give people an honest timeline insteadof a guess


    • Why you’ll feel the change 4 to 6 weeks before you ever see it


    • Losing the weight is only half the job. The elephant in the room is keeping it off


    • Matt’s 2.5 years (and 2 rebounds), and what those years actually taught him


    • Why “longer than you want” is the most freeing thing a coach can tell you

  • 262 - 10 signs your coach is stealing your money

    You've paid for the coach.


    You followed the plan to the letter.


    You did the check-ins, sent the photos, ticked every box they handed you.


    Then the program ended and you were back where you started, lighter in the wallet and not much else.


    Somewhere in there you started to wonder if you're just the one who can't be helped...


    You're not.


    You just couldn't tell the good coaches from the ones happily taking your money every month.


    Come and join us as we deep dive into the 10 red flags your coach is ripping you off, and the 10 green flags that tell you they're worth every cent...


    • Why a cookie-cutter meal plan teaches you nothing, and what real nutrition coaching looks like instead


    • The "custom" plan that was generated by AI in 30 seconds and sold to you as bespoke


    • Check-in theatre: the copy-paste "great work, keep going!" that feels like accountability and changes nothing


    • The coach who only ever tells you what you want to hear, and why a yes-coach keeps you stuck


    • Why "no real qualifications" is everywhere when the word coach isn't protected and anyone can claim it


    • The reddest flag of them all: a business model built on you never being able to leave


    • Vanity metrics, and why a sleek funnel and a million followers are not proof anyone can actually coach


    • The green flags worth paying for, every single time
