Welcome back to another episode of The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show! Today, I’m excited to chop it up with Max Lowery. Max is a behavior change expert and online health coach who's helped thousands of career-focused women lose fat, improve their health, and never diet again without sacrificing the things they love. He is also the author of The 2 Meal Day: Burn Fat and Boost Energy Through Intermittent Fasting and the host of the Never Diet Again podcast.

In today's episode, we dive deep into the psychology of sustainable weight loss, exploring the five root causes that keep people stuck—like emotional eating, negative self-talk, and all-or-nothing thinking. Max shares how these factors impact long-term consistency and how diet culture exacerbates them.

We also discuss practical strategies for sustainable weight loss, including the power of mindfulness, building satiating meals, and why ditching snacking could be the most impactful change you make. Plus, we explore the nuanced role of intermittent fasting, particularly for women, and discuss why exercise alone isn’t the solution for sustainable fat loss.

If you’re ready to shift your mindset, break free from the diet cycle, and step into the best version of yourself, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you do just that.
