ANNOUNCEMENT: Are you a Burned Out Dieter Who's Struggling to Stay on Track? Join me and Coach Steph on our FREE LIVE TRAINING as we share how to achieve Lifelong Weight Loss through psychology, NOT restrictive dieting or willpower. You can snag all the details when you register HERE.

In this episode we debunk the lie that the fitness industry teaches about discipline being the key to a successful transformation and how that philosophy has kept dieters on a hamster wheel for years.

Every frustrated dieter wonders why they can't just be more disciplined. They wonder why they can start off strong and the wheels inevitably fall off.

Generic dieting advice and the "just try harder" narrative is flawed. In reality, most people have tried harder to lose weight than anything else they've ever had to work at.

So if trying harder isn't the answer, what is?

Imagine waking up each day trusting that you aren't going to overeat, that you won't run out of willpower, and you'll go to bed that night feeling proud that you broke the habit of overeating. How would it feel to be in control of food, instead of food controlling you?

Our habits shape our lives and finding the right system makes all the difference in the world.

Whether you've been a yo-yo dieter or a binge eater in dieting past, your current habits either work for you or against you.

When you understand the power of a habit, for better or worse, it's easy to see how having the right habits, systems, and support in place is a game changer when it comes to fat loss.

In this episode, you'll discover how to become consistent so you can not only achieve your goals, but you can maintain them with ease.

You'll also learn:

  • How habits have all of the control and developing the right ones will save you years of frustration.

  • How the pressures of life keep you circling the diet drain and how to practice being persistent no matter what obstacles you face.

  • The real answer to sustainable fat loss that leave you feeling in control of food and never go on a diet again.

If forcing your body into a smaller version of itself through dieting worked, it would have worked by now. It's time to try something different. Something that actually works.

Give this week's episode a listen to learn how to create a system to build lean eating habits so you never have to diet again.
