Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry
Today I’m wrapping up my 6-part series, The Missing Piece, with a final episode on one of the most common issues women face when dieting that keeps them stuck. If you can lose a few pounds but gain them right back every week, there’s a good chance you’re caught in the extremes of dieting.

Either way, protein is important and the goal is not...

338. Q&A: How to Measure Body Fat At Home & Know If You’re Really Making Progress
Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry
On today's final episode as part of the Fit Girl Fall series this year, I’m answering a question submitted by one of our amazing listeners regarding how to measure your body fat while you’re at home to be able to interpret if you’re making progress or not with more certainty.

This means you can be making physical progress, looking leaner and even dropping your body fat...
