Body Bites With BecShow Notes
In this episode, I sat down with Thilaia, a sales rep all the way from New Zealand, who has achieved an absolutely incredible 20kg weight loss transformation with the 3-Week Body Reset and Health with Bec Tribe! After trying every quick fix under the sun, Thilaia finally found a sustainable approach that's become her complete way of life. Thilaia found herself at her heaviest weight ever and struggling with severe IBS. Fast forward two years later and she's completely transformed her relationship with food, healed her gut health and IBS entirely, boosted her confidence, and even changed her career path. Thilaia's story is proof that you truly CAN keep the weight off for good and experience a complete positive lifestyle change. Thilaia opens up about: Why she threw out her entire pantry after reading my education materials
How she lost 5kg in the 3 Week Body Reset and her biggest tip to keep her on track
How her taste buds completely transformed after quitting sugar (she now loves dark chocolate and finds milk chocolate too sweet!)
Her practical tips for label reading, emergency car snacks, and making this work while travelling
Why taking progress photos was a game-changer (even though she initially didn't want to!)
How she went from hiding her body to confidently posting transformation photos
The mindset shift that helped her stop caring what others think
How she feels heading in to her 50th birthday
How she's maintained the loss for a whole year and turned it into a true lifestyle change
And more!
The biggest takeaway? There truly is no quick fix, but when you're ready to make a real lifestyle change and educate yourself on WHY you're doing what you're doing, the results speak for themselves. This episode is packed with practical tips, honest insights and SO much inspiration for anyone who's tired of the diet rollercoaster and ready for something that actually works long-term!

If you've ever felt like you gained 1–2kg overnight despite eating well and training consistently, this episode is for you. In today's episode, I'm breaking down the real reasons behind water weight fluctuations – and why rapid changes on the scale are almost never body fat. I share my own recent experience with frustrating weight fluctuations (including one I'm currently navigating), and explain what's actually happening physiologically when your weight suddenly shifts.
In this episode, I share how to build a consistent exercise routine that supports fat loss, strength, and long term results, without burning yourself out or falling into the all-or-nothing trap. I break down exactly what I'm doing in my own routine right now and how you can find an exercise rhythm that actually sticks.
What if the reason you feel stuck with your health, weight, confidence, or goals has nothing to do with willpower – and everything to do with your self image? In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode, Bec sits down with Mimi Bouchard, founder of the global Activations app (including fans like Miranda Kerr!) and author of Activate Your Future Self, to unpack how identity, mindset, and future self embodiment can completely transform your life – including your relationship with food, your body, and your confidence. Together, Bec and Mimi dive into why traditional motivation and discipline often fail, and how rewiring your self image is the real key to lasting change. This conversation will shift the way you think about what's truly possible for you! ✨ Plus: At the end of the episode, Mimi shares a special 3-minute "Let Yourself Lose Weight" activation so you can experience this work for yourself.
