• Best ways to maintain a consistent exercise routine
• How Nikki worked with clients to get them into a routine by making them feel good about themselves
• The difference between eating and nourishing your body
• The need for optimizing and prioritizing your nutrition and sleep
• The reasons why you're struggling with your body composition goals

"There's always going to be certain thing points of resistance in your journey. And identifying where those blocks and those obstacles are, is going to be the number one way you can overcome it."

"If your nutrition sucks, if your sleep sucks, if your adrenals are toast, your exercise routine is gonna feel like a constant uphill battle."

When it comes to your fitness goals or weight loss, it can be frustrating when you don’t see any progress despite pushing yourself hard, changing your lifestyle, changing your habits, and putting your best effort into it.

Nicki examines the reasons why you may be having weight loss resistance when you are trying hard to lose weight or fat.

In this podcast episode, Nikki shares:

• Some key areas that people don't realize can affect your weight.
• Why is it so important to reflect on your sleep, mood, strength, and energy rather than just looking at the numbers on the scale
• How to reach your fitness goals with less resistance and less effort
• Five reasons why your weight isn't going down:

1. You may not be in a calorie deficit — you need to be in a state where you are outputting more energy than inputting.
2. You are pushing yourself too hard, which can cause massive stress to your body.
3. Your hormones are causing resistance and affecting your body composition.
4. You're not consistent.
5. It's actually fat that you're losing, not weight.

Memorable Quotes:

"It's not that you have to track every single thing you eat in order to lose weight. But, if you aren't fully aware of your caloric intake and your macronutrient intake, this can keep you stuck."

"Step one in your weight loss journey might actually be supporting your body, getting your body back in balance, getting your hormones back in balance, getting your adrenals and your endocrine system functioning as it should. And then dialing in your nutrition, fitness and getting your body to actually respond to those changes."

"Sometimes, less is better. Sometimes less is more, and sometimes less will actually help you get better long term results because it's actually going to be sustainable and maintainable for you."

The initial enthusiasm of the New Year's resolution or goals wears off after a short period of time as we get caught up in our day-to-day life. Also, there are a number of stressors coming our way, which make it challenging to maintain that motivation and consistency throughout your journey.

Today, Nikki discusses staying motivated year-round and being consistent in your healthy habits.

In this podcast episode, Nikki shares:

• The big challenge that comes with different kinds of weight loss or fat loss goals
• Why do you need to stop putting an end date and a deadline on your habits and healthier lifestyle choices?
• How shifting your all-or-nothing attitude impacts your ability to achieve your goals
• The problems people face when they set a 30 DAY TIME LIMIT or a short challenge
• How to get motivated and keep the momentum for your goal if you're losing motivation
• Not getting discouraged with your slow progress with your goals

Memorable Quotes:

"Realize that you're worth more than just 30 days, your health is worth more than just this 30 Day commitment. It is supposed to be every single day moving forward."

"If we have the all or nothing mentality constantly, and we check out every single time when something doesn't go as planned, then we're not really going to get anywhere."

Are you trying different strategies for your weight loss goals, fat loss goals, or body composition goals but not seeing the results you expect? Then it is time to pay attention to your body's metabolism.

Nikki dives deep into body metabolism and shares three basic strategies for supporting your metabolism.

In this podcast episode, Nikki shares:

• How the approach to overall body composition is different than a weight loss goal
• Why do a lot of people need to shift from the weight loss goal to the fat loss goal
• Factors that affect your body metabolism
• Effects of slow or poor metabolism in your body
• Issues with chronic dieting and Yo-Yo Dieting
• Understanding how your metabolism works
• Three basic areas that you can focus on for improving your metabolism
  • Understand how to provide proper nourishment to your body from quality sources
  • Build muscle — stop doing crazy hit training or crazy peloton exercises that just burn calories.
  • Stop stressing about the number on the scale, the calories in your food, and how many calories you burn in a day.

Memorable Quotes:

“There are genetic factors that can influence your metabolism. But that being said, we also have a lot that we can do with our nutrition, our exercise and our lifestyle habits to optimize our metabolism and our overall body composition.”

“Stop stressing so much about the number on the scale, how many calories are in your food, how many calories you burned that day, all of those things, because it is often more detrimental than beneficial.”
