Calories Don’t Lie — But Diet Gurus and Fitness Influencers Do
Send us a text
The loudest voices in weight loss profit from confusion, shame, and false certainty—so we turn down the noise and hand you the controls. We break apart the biggest myth of all, that “calories don’t matter,” and rebuild from first principles: energy balance, metabolic adaptation, and small, smart choices that actually stick. No whiteboard lecture, no guru vibes—just plain-English science and pragmatic steps you can use today.
We talk about how the industry manufactures contradictions to keep you buying, why identity labels (keto, clean, paleo) feel safe but trap you, and how beliefs don’t burn calories—behaviors do. You’ll learn how awareness outperforms willpower, why simplifying beats obsessing, and how to set up defaults that reduce decision fatigue: consistent protein, high-volume foods, daily walking, better sleep, and a bias toward tiny upgrades over time. We also dig into hormones and hype, separating what influences appetite and energy from claims that try to bend physics. The result is a clear path: choose more, obey less; question marketing, trust your body; play the long game and stop starting over.
By the end, you’ll have a simple mental checklist to navigate ads, fads, and influencer promises, plus a one-question framework to steer every choice: Is this a small, smart move that brings me closer to the life I want? If it’s yes, proceed. If it’s no, pause. That’s the operating system for real, durable change. If the message hits home, subscribe, share the show with someone who’s tired of diet noise, and leave a review to help others find it—then pick one small choice and make it today.
Stop Dieting. Start Choosing.
I’m Jonathan Ressler, Transformation Guide and author of Shut Up and Choose. I lost 140 pounds and built a movement the diet industry hopes you never find. No starvation. No obsession. No gym marathons. Real transformation starts when you stop outsourcing discipline and start leading yourself.
The truth is simple: weight loss isn’t about willpower—it’s about integrity. Every time you keep a promise to yourself, you rebuild confidence. Every smart choice strengthens self-trust. That’s the foundation of lasting change. My mission is to help busy, high-performing people take back control of their health, energy, and mindset—without diets, shots, or shame.
Each episode of the Shut Up and Choose Podcast cuts through the noise with real talk, proven strategies, and small, smart steps that actually last. No gimmicks. No hype. Just truth that works in real life.
