4 new questions:

• Do you have a podcast on your thoughts on GLP-1s? I feel so discouraged in trying to lose weight naturally and everyone around me is jabbing themselves. I just feel like I'm in the minority and would love to hear a perspective such as yours
• I have lost weight twice before by eating what I like but less, although I never worked on the relationship part. I can only eat about 1,500 cals a day or less to lose weight. I am 35 pounds overweight and I'm eating about 2000-2200 cals a day. Can't seem to hit target of 1500 more than a day or two a week. Darn, it doesn't seem fair! What's a frustrated woman to do?
• I've heard that eating large volumes of low calorie foods can promote binge-type behaviours and be detrimental in the long run when it comes to portion control. What are the pros and cons of volume eating? Is it always a positive and helpful tool? Are there certain times/situations when it is more helpful or should be avoided?
• How did you not qualify for weight loss surgery?

This week's questions:

• I'm counting the calories. I hate "wasting" the calories. I'm more tempted to eat every bite even if I'm full because I've already calculated in those calories and I don't want to give them up. I don't know how to get my mindset over it. Keep trying to tell myself it's like a little bonus of weight coming off but it's not working in my mind.  
• Do you weigh your food raw or cooked IE meat, potatoes, veg?
• My cutting calories are 2100. It just seems way too high for weight loss. Any insight?
• I have to start drinking zero sugar and I loathe that aspartame or stevia type taste. I was wondering which is the best sodas or juices in which it's hard to taste that?
