In this episode, you’ll learn just how much of an impact a calorie deficit has on your metabolism, and specifically your ability to expend energy and handle an influx of calories at the end of a diet. You’ll also better understand the vulnerable and challenging position you’re in at the end of a diet and how to best approach this period to maintain your hard-earned weight loss. 

 

Action Step: After listening to this episode, simply reflect:

 

• Are you guilty of yo-yo dieting?
• Are you guilty of wanting to diet again a few weeks after finishing your last diet?

 

It’s okay! But you NEED to change your thoughts and actions to break free from this vicious cycle if you want to achieve successful long-term weight maintenance.

 

Okay, I actually do have an action step: Write the following down FIVE times: “After a diet, I am in a vulnerable position, physiologically speaking, and need to spend just as much time, if not more, NOT dieting before considering another diet.”
