Here's something the toxic diet culture doesn't want you to know: you don't have to exercise to lose weight. I lost 200 pounds with zero exercise. I know that diet and exercise have been touted as the magical weight loss cure. But you absolutely do not have to exercise to lose weight. 

Yes, pursuing fitness will definitely make your weight-loss journey easier. But if we're super honest about it, exercising when you're obese is a nightmare. 

In today's episode, I'll talk about why the whole diet and exercise thing is a myth, why you don't have to exercise to lose weight, and how to focus on movement and building muscle in different ways. 

What You'll Learn:

  • The benefits of making small incremental changes to your movement
  • Losing muscle while obese
  • How to lose weight sustainably
  • Why you need to focus on building muscle when losing weight 
  • The power of positive self-talk during weight loss
  • How muscles affect the amount of calories you burn
  • Debunking the diet and exercising myth
  • Why exercising while obese can be counterproductive
