Ep 115. Carbs, Do I have to cut them to lose weight?
If you've ever stared at a plate of pasta and felt guilty, this episode is for you. Carbs, carbs, carbs — are they really the enemy? Do you have to cut bread, pasta, rice, and more out of your diet in order to lose weight? Let's talk about it. In this episode, I'm breaking down: What carbs actually do in your body (energy, muscle glycogen, and performance) Why cutting carbs isn't required for fat loss — it all comes down to calorie and macro balance How to fit bread, pasta, and rice into a fat-loss plan without the guilt The biggest carb myths I hear all the time (and why they're not true) Resources Mentioned: MacroU: Macro Mentorship Program → [link] Nutrition Coaching 3 Day Macro Tracking Course 📲 Follow me on Instagram → @eveguzmanofficial

Ep 114. I Used to Quit My Diet at Day 12 Every Time I Tried to Lose Weight
I Used to Quit My Diet at Day 12 Every Time I Tried to Lose Weight I had to stick to a diet for 21 days straight before I saw the results that eventually added up to 120 pounds lost. But I almost never got there, because I kept quitting at days 10 through 13, every time, convinced the diet wasn't working just because the scale hadn't moved yet. In this episode, I unpack why the scale lags behind real effort, why that lag is exactly where most people give up, and the 21-day rule that finally got me through it. Topics: Fat loss and the number on the scale don't move on the same timeline The 10–13 day mark is a common point where people mistake a data lag for failure Setting a fixed evaluation window (like 21 days) before you start protects you from quitting early Impatience in the moment feels like self-protection, but it's often self-sabotage "The fat loss hasn't shown up on the scale yet. That part takes time" If someone you know is in their own day-ten right now, send them this episode.

Ep 113. From Two McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers a Day to 150 Pounds Down
From Two McDonald's Double Cheeseburgers a Day to 150 Pounds Down I used to eat two double cheeseburgers and a value fry from McDonald's every single day. I was almost 300 pounds, and that was just Tuesday. Today I'm down 150 pounds, and it wasn't willpower that got me here. It was learning how to cook and season food well, so healthy eating didn't mean giving up the soul food I grew up on. This episode is about staying open to change, building a real cooking skill set, and why "easy is earned" instead of found on day one. Topics: Sustainable change rarely comes from rejecting the food culture you grew up in Learning to cook and season food well is what makes healthy eating stick long-term "Healthy" doesn't have to mean bland, flavor is what makes a routine sustainable Eating healthier gets easier over time, but that ease is earned through repetition, not found immediately Eating healthier gets easier. Easy is earned. If someone in your life feels like they have to choose between their culture and their health, send them this episode.

Ep 112. I Ate More So My Diet Would Actually Work
I Ate More So My Cut Would Actually Work Mentally in a cut, physically in a cut, but the reason it's working started a year ago, with the scariest decision I've made in this whole journey: I stopped dieting and ate at maintenance instead. In this episode, I break down why a full year of eating enough (sometimes even a slight surplus) and lifting as heavy as I could is the actual reason my current cut is working, why "readiness" is something you have to build before you can diet successfully, and why the problem for chronic dieters usually isn't eating too much, it's eating too little for too long. Topics: Repeated dieting can leave the body in a state that isn't ready for another deficit A structured maintenance phase, eating enough, training hard, can be the missing step before a cut works Progress in a maintenance phase should be measured in strength, sleep, and food relationship, not the scale The cut works when the body is ready for it; readiness has to be built, not rushed Resources Mentioned: MacroU: Macro Mentorship Program → [link] Nutrition Coaching 3 Day Macro Tracking Course 📲 Follow me on Instagram → @eveguzmanofficial

Ep 110. When Your Client Is Doing Everything Right and Still Not Losing Weight
When Your Client Is Doing Everything Right and Still Not Losing Weight Your client is hitting her macros, training consistently, getting her steps in, and sleeping well. So why hasn't the scale moved in three weeks? Most coaches immediately assume one of two things: • The client isn't being honest • The macros are wrong But in many cases, neither is true. In this episode, Eve breaks down the three questions she asks before making any nutrition or training adjustments. You'll learn how to assess a true fat-loss stall, identify when compliance is actually the issue, and understand why stress, recovery, and life circumstances matter more than most coaches realize. If you've ever felt unsure about what to do when a client's progress slows down, this episode will help you think like a coach instead of reacting like a dieter. IN THIS EPISODE: • Why a stalled scale doesn't automatically mean fat loss has stopped • The difference between client effort and actual compliance • How to determine whether a plateau is real or simply normal weight fluctuations • The role stress, sleep, travel, and recovery play in scale weight • Common mistakes coaches make when troubleshooting fat loss • Why great coaching requires assessment before action • How to develop stronger decision-making skills as a nutrition coach "Experts don't guess. Experts assess."

Ep 109. Why Getting Certified Didn't Make Me a Great Nutrition Coach
Why Getting Certified Didn't Make Me a Great Coach You passed the exam. You got the certification. So why do so many coaches still feel unprepared when a real client needs help? In this episode, Eve shares the uncomfortable truth that most coaches discover after certification: credentials don't automatically create confidence. While certifications teach information, they rarely teach decision-making, pattern recognition, or how to navigate real-world client situations when the textbook answer doesn't work. Drawing from her own journey of losing 150 pounds, leaving a stable laboratory management career, and building a six-figure coaching business, Eve breaks down the difference between being certified and becoming an expert coach. In This Episode: Why certifications often leave coaches feeling unprepared The biggest misconception about confidence in coaching The difference between information, application, and judgment Why collecting more certifications won't solve imposter syndrome The three skills most certifications don't teach How real coaching confidence is actually built The role of reps, feedback, and experience in becoming an expert coach Why competence always comes before confidence Resources Mentioned Macro Mentorship Coaching Certification https://www.themacrouniversity.com/ Macros Made Simple for Coaches: The No-Fluff Starter Guide for Coaches: www.themacrouniversity.com/macros-made-simple-for-coaches Connect with Eve https://www.instagram.com/eveguzmanofficial/

Ep 106. Macro Tracking Isn't About Eating Less. It's About Finally Seeing What You've Been Missing
In this episode Eve breaks down the difference between tracking to restrict and tracking to understand and why that distinction is the reason most women's past attempts at macros didn't stick.
