Happy Friday Nerdles! This week we talk about dietizing everything in your life - from your morning coffee and protein shake, to low fat & low calorie hacks, to low cottage everything - diet culture is once again ramping up with the holiday season in full effect. One thing no one talks about when swapping out their foods with food that tastes like cardboard is the enjoyment factor - and food is meant to be enjoyed! Not only that, but when you enjoy the food you eat - you are more likely to stick with your plan. It's OK to eat real food!Join our Patreon for monthly workouts, challenges, recipes, and to become part of the Cut The Crap Community!

218 - 10k Steps A Day Isn't Enough (If That's All You're Doing)
10k Steps. Often see as the gold standard for weight loss and fitness goals, but there's a caveat: Where your steps come from, matters. Many people have active jobs such as nurses, teachers, or manufacturing jobs - and that's great, but it doesn't replace the need to still do intentional cardio and strength training. This week, we dive into why!We also dive into a question Beth received about "only" losing a half of a pound every week and why it's your mindset and expectations that are needing to change, not the scale.Join our Patreon for monthly workouts, challenges, recipes, and to become part of the Cut The Crap Community!

216 - Fitness Doesn’t Have a Look (and Why Body Shaming Needs to Go Away)
Your body doesn’t have to look a certain way to be fit. In this episode, Matt and Beth call out body shaming in fitness culture and discuss how fitness doesn't have a 'look'. The reality is - you can be healthy in a larger body. You can be healthy in a smaller body. You also be unhealthy in both a larger and smaller body - the way you look doesn't determine your health and it certainly doesn't determine your fitness and knowledge.Learn how to separate health from appearance, redefine what being “fit” really means, and protect your mental peace from toxic expectations and body shaming placed on us by the fitness industry and society in general.Join our Patreon for monthly workouts, challenges, recipes, and to become part of the Cut The Crap Community!
