If you’ve been white-knuckling your diet - cutting carbs, banning wine, “making up” for overeats, and calling it discipline—this episode shows you a better, psychology-backed path to sustainable fat loss.

Jared breaks down the real "Do’s & Don’ts of Weight Loss" so you can build habits that hold on your hardest days, make peace with the scale, and finally stop the restrict–binge cycle.

In this episode you’ll learn:

- How to build habits you can keep on your worst days (not just your best).

- Why restriction masquerades as “control” — and always backfires.

- The simple rule to enjoy foods you love and still lose fat.

- What to do after an overeat (hint: never “make up for it”).

- Progress over perfection: ditch all-or-nothing and actually stick with it.

- Making peace with the scale so it stops wrecking your day.

- Calibrating expectations: your body can’t change faster than your habits.

- Planning for real life (travel, weekends, chaos) so you don’t “start over Monday.”
