In this Health, Wellth & Wisdom Podcast episode, host and Nutrition Coach Nicole Hagen breaks down how to tell the difference between sustainable weight loss advice and gimmicky strategies that keep people stuck in cycles of frustration, restriction, and shame.

This episode introduces a green flags vs. red flags framework to help you evaluate weight loss advice before you invest time, energy, and hope into approaches that aren’t designed to last. 

Throughout this episode, you’ll learn:

• What green flags look like in sustainable, evidence-based weight loss advice
  

• The most common red flags that signal gimmicks and short-term solutions
  

• How shame-based messaging creates dependency instead of long-term skills
  

• Why feeling like your body is “broken” is a warning sign
  

• How to evaluate whether a plan will realistically work for your life
  

• Why consistency, adequacy, and adaptability matter more than intensity or perfection
  

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting weight loss advice, discouraged by past attempts that didn’t stick, or confused about why “trying harder” hasn’t produced lasting results, this episode will help you understand what actually drives sustainable weight loss.
