  <itunes:subtitle>What do dietitians actually do on vacation? In this episode, Danielle and Sam take you behind the scenes of their team retreat to show what healthy habits look like in real life.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Ever wonder what a dietitian's habits actually look like on vacation?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You might picture us ordering grilled chicken salads and drinking water all weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Spoiler alert... that's not what happened.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode, Pivot Dietitians Danielle and Sam give you a behind-the-scenes look at how dietitians eat, move, and make food decisions while away from home. No food rules, no calorie counting, and no "cheat days", just realistic habits that make healthy eating feel effortless, even on vacation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In this episode, we discuss:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Simple ways to stay consistent while traveling&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How dietitians approach restaurants, snacks, and treats&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Common habits that make healthy eating feel effortless&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A surprising portion-size experiment that might change how you look at serving sizes&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mindset shift that helps you enjoy vacations without guilt&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to build habits that stick through every season of life&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The biggest takeaway? You really can have your cake and eat it too. You can work toward your health and weight loss goals while still enjoying drinks, donuts, French fries, and vacations. Lasting results don't come from being perfect. They come from building habits that fit into real life, no matter the season. That's the difference between constantly starting over and creating a lifestyle you can actually maintain.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;EXPLICIT: Language&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, the Lahaise brothers reached out for help with weight loss. We are all still shocked that they lost a combined 95 pounds in six months! These two brothers are hilarious, fun, extremely honest, and have a few explicit words along the way so maybe don't listen to this episode on speaker or in the car with your kiddos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What motivated Taylor &amp;amp; Brenden to reach out for nutrition coaching&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Weight loss expectations vs reality&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Victories beyond the scale&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Benefits of food tracking&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Exercise modifications during fat loss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Keys to weight loss maintenance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Advice for men seeking fat loss&lt;/li&gt;
