[Ep. 80] Why Dieting Feels So Mentally Hard (Coach Arielle X Coach Katie)
In this episode of the Tailored Coaching Method Podcast, Arielle DeYampert is joined by Katie Johnson for a powerful conversation on the difference between a physical deficit and a mental deficit—and why confusing the two is often what derails fat loss and long-term progress.
They break down what it actually means to be in a physical calorie deficit versus living in a mental state of scarcity. While a physical deficit is required for fat loss, a mental deficit can lead to frustration, obsession, burnout, and an unhealthy relationship with food. Arielle and Katie explain why mindset, gratitude, and abundance are essential tools for sustaining a deficit without self-sabotage.
This episode highlights the importance of radical honesty in health journeys, including being honest about behaviors, emotions, and expectations. The conversation also emphasizes that sustainable habits—not extremes—are what allow clients to maintain results after a deficit phase ends.
Listeners will learn how embracing discomfort is a necessary part of growth, how to shift from a scarcity mindset into abundance, and why contentment with progress—not perfection—is key for long-term success. The episode closes by reinforcing the powerful role that support systems and community play in helping individuals stay consistent, grounded, and resilient throughout their health and fitness journey.
This episode is especially valuable for anyone who feels mentally drained by dieting, struggles to maintain fat loss, or wants to build results that last without burning out.
