Shownotes

How many times have you lost the weight…only to watch it slowly creep back on again?

If you feel like you’ve “tried everything” and still end up back where you started, this episode is for you.


In this episode of The Weight Loss Podcast, we unpack why people can’t keep it off – even when they’re actually pretty good at losing it in the first place.


We dive into...


- Why chasing short-term goals (weddings, summers, events) quietly sets you up to regain.


- How extreme, unsustainable programs teach you a shitload about dieting…but nothing about maintaining.


- The sneaky way compliments and early progress make you take your foot off the pedal.


- The deeper reasons the weight went on in the first place – habits, history, and the stories you picked up when you were younger.


- How warped expectations (“this should be easy and linear”) stop you building the resilience you actually need.


You’ll walk away with practical ways to...


- Shift from “12-week fix” to “years and decades”.


- Use your past yo-yo attempts as data, not evidence you’re broken.


- Start addressing the real reasons you struggle to keep it off.


How we can help you -

These recipes have been hand-picked by us out of our coaching program for busy people who want to look, feel and function better...without living by a set of rules and without the diet drama.

You receive the book via instant digital download/email, and the book itself is ready to be printed for those who prefer their copies physical!

Get started on a proven step-by-step path to taking control over your emotional eating, building healthy and sustainable habits that give you energy every day, improve your strength, fitness, body shape and confidence — without counting calories, following some silly unsustainable diet, dodgy supplements, expensive medications or feeling like you have to exercise for 300 hours per week.

You will learn more in 12 weeks than you have the past 5-10 years when it comes to exercise, nutrition, habits and real, sustainable healthy change. That's our promise to you. This program is perfect for absolute beginners and/or people on a super tight budget. Please note it is not a coaching program.

This is our coaching program where we teach you everything you need to know and we do it right there with you via coaching, accountability, support and guidance from us personally. We accept clients via application only and work with people for a minimum of 12+ months (most stay for 2-3 years).
