173. Small Tweaks to Restart Your Progress
Apr 11, 2025Feeling stuck in your weight loss journey? Kara Hackleman, Certified Life & Weight Loss Coach, breaks down small, simple tweaks in nutrition, movement, and mindset that can help you push past a plateau—without an overhaul or another diet plan. These are real-life strategies designed to work with your body, your life, and your brain.
๐ฅ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why plateaus are a normal part of the process—and not a sign that you’re failing
- What Kara means by “going full coach mode” and how coaching differs from generic weight loss advice
- How to use physical hunger cues (like the “whisper of hunger”) to avoid overeating
- Smart, doable tweaks like:
- Leaving two bites behind
- Serving half your normal plate
- Focusing on just one meal at a time
- Why volume (not rules) helps you feel more satisfied and snack less
- Movement ideas that feel good and count—even outside the gym
- The importance of emotional regulation and how outdoor movement supports your hormones and mood
- Mindset shifts that keep you moving forward, like:
- Changing judgment into curiosity
- Rewriting the inner dialogue that says “this isn’t working”
- Celebrating everyday wins that fuel motivation
๐๏ธ Key Takeaways:
- Start with one small tweak—not a full reset.
- Eat at the whisper of hunger, not when you're starving.
- Pause before finishing your plate to disrupt autopilot eating.
- All movement counts—even housework, stretching, or walking to the mailbox.
- Getting outside helps your body regulate stress, hunger, and mood.
- Mindset isn’t fluff—it’s foundational. Change your thoughts to support your actions.
- Wins are wins—no matter how small. They build the momentum that drives motivation.
