Real Life Weight Loss
Hosted by Corey Little · EN
Welcome to the Real Life Weight Loss Podcast where we cut through the confusion and get down to the truth - down to what really works for REAL people when it comes to losing weight and keeping it off. We're diving into the most doable, sustainable weight loss strategies.
This podcast is all about busy moms, dads, husbands, wives who are working, raising kids, and trying to juggle everything life’s throwing at them … but also want to be the best they can for their family and friends and loved ones.
I’m your host Corey Little, a nutritionist and weight loss specialist with 2 degrees, 3 certifications, and 20 years of experience. I've been a champion bodybuilder with 3% body-fat and I’ve also pigged out at all-you-can-eat buffets and have a deep love of food and enjoying life like crazy! So, I’m not some Nutrition Robot or extremist. I’m a real person just like you who loves the good things in life - friends, family, and all the delicious food that comes with it.
So, make no mistake - this podcast is NOT about how to get six-pack abs or how to drop as much weight as possible in 8 weeks. There’s more to life than abs and there’s more to your body than how much you weigh.
Honestly, weight loss is not really about losing weight … it’s about gaining life! Doing things you never thought you could. Having renewed confidence. And enjoying your body and your health more than ever.
Week by week, I’ll provide bite-sized guidance - 15 to 20 minute episodes that pull back the curtain and reveal the truth about what it takes to lose weight and gain life - what strategy and approach real people are using to get results without giving up their day-to-day life.
And here’s the really cool part …
It’s really not as hard or confusing as you might think.
Changing your body, getting crazy healthy, and demanding success from life is do-able for everyone - and it can be fun - and I’ll show you how.

Make Peace - Then Make Progress
Mar 2400:11:34Tap to summarizeOne of the biggest reasons people struggle to lose weight has nothing to do with food or exercise.It’s where their attention is. Most people are stuck between two places:Frustrated with where they are now . . .Obsessed with where they want to go . . .And that tension? It keeps them distracted, overwhelmed, and inconsistent.In this episode, I break down a powerful shift we worked through in my Last Monday Reset Workshop …Removing the mental noise that keeps you stuck — so you can finally take consistent action.Because, as James Clear says . . . You don’t rise to your goals. You fall to your systems.And if your systems don’t support you, you’ll stay stuck — no matter how motivated you feel.If you’re tired of overthinking, obsessing, and spinning your wheels . . .

Transcribe →The Hidden Pressure That Makes Weight Loss Feel Emotional (and Sabotages Your Efforts)
Mar 1900:10:57Tap to summarize“How does a weight loss program bring up so much emotional stuff?”That's what a client recently asked me. The answer is simple - weight loss isn’t just about food and exercise.It’s about your thoughts, beliefs, habits, patterns, stress, emotions, and self-awareness.And for many people, the biggest obstacle isn’t discipline — it’s perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking.In this episode, I break down:Why weight loss often feels overwhelming and emotionalHow diet culture conditions you to chase perfectionThe mental traps your “inner bully” uses to keep you stuckWhy pressure and unrealistic expectations destroy consistencyAnd what actually works insteadIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by food, your body, or the scale, and wondered why this feels so much harder than it should . . . This episode is for YOU. Because the truth is … You don’t have a motivation problem. You have a strategy problem. And once you fix the strategy, everything changes.Here’s the link I mentioned in this episode . . . 👉 The Last Monday Reset Ever™ WorkshopIf you’re tired of repeating the same cycle — starting strong, messing up, beating yourself up, and restarting again — this workshop is for you.🎯 Register here: EverybodyHatesDiets.com📅 Thursday, March 19⏰ 8 PM Eastern👉 30 spots availableWe’ll shift you out of perfectionism with a doable plan that fits your life..LAST MONDAY RESET EVER Workshop: www.EverybodyHatesDiets.com
Transcribe →Which of These Weight Loss Approaches Do You Normally Take
Mar 1700:25:26Tap to summarizeDo whatever diet, workout, or weight loss program you want, but if your overall approach is wrong, then you’re kind of doomed.After almost 25 years in the fitness and weight loss world, I’ve noticed patterns in how people try to lose weight. Whether you realize it or not, you probably routinely take a very similar approach to what you’ve always done. It might be a different diet or exercise program, but … Your mindset … Your overall strategy … The way you view the program … The way you go about taking action … How you prepare (or don’t prepare) … All of that comes together to create a certain overall approach. There are 4 primary approaches that I’ve noticed . Three of them will likely stress you out and lead to burnout. The other one is the best way to lose weight and actually keep it off. Until you find the path that works and fits you, you'll just keep repeating the same cycle over and over with very little weight loss results to show. Maybe it’s time to take an entirely new approach.Here’s the link I mentioned in this episode . . . 👉 The Last Monday Reset Ever™ WorkshopIf you’re tired of repeating the same cycle — starting strong, messing up, beating yourself up, and restarting again — this workshop is for you.🎯 Register here: EverybodyHatesDiets.com📅 Thursday, March 19⏰ 8 PM Eastern👉 30 spots availableWe’ll shift you out of perfectionism with a doable plan that fits your life..LAST MONDAY RESET EVER Workshop: www.EverybodyHatesDiets.com

Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term resultsUsing real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you’re celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same outcome when food becomes the reward, relief, or escape.This episode isn’t about restriction or shame.It’s about awareness, honesty, and choosing a better framework — one that supports real freedom instead of keeping you stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting.WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it’s so common)How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stressWhy earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfiresWhy “deserve” vs “don’t deserve” is a trap either wayWhat it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindsetWHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad onesPeople who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restartingThose who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotionsAnyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with foodThose who want freedom, not food rulesThis is the kind of work I do with my clients — learning how to unlink food and emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more honest relationship with food.If you want support doing this work instead of trying to white-knuckle it alone, you can learn more about working together by shooting me an email at: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.comJoin Corey’s Email Fam: https://LoseFatList.comWant To Know More About Coaching: support@CoreyLittleCoaching.com
