High on Life

146. Addressing Expectations - How Much Weight Will I Lose?


Listen Later

In this episode of High on Life, I’m answering a question I get all the time: How much weight can I realistically expect to lose?

I’m breaking down:
✅ Why weight loss isn’t just about willpower—it’s influenced by your biology and genetics
✅ The false promises of diet culture and why they set us up for disappointment
✅ Why aiming for 5-10% weight loss is both realistic and powerful for your health
✅ What research shows about weight loss with lifestyle changes and medications
✅ How to shift your mindset from chasing a “goal weight” to building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle
✅ Why hitting a plateau doesn’t mean failure—it means stability
✅ The truth about BMI and why it’s not the ultimate measure of health

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by weight loss or wondered why it’s so hard to keep weight off, this episode will give you clarity and encouragement.
