Episode Overview

Today, Jen and Annie respond to a message that hits hard. A new listener shared that she's cutting carbs, skipping treats, tracking every bite… and yet, she's still gaining weight. She's frustrated with her lack of progress, so she's decided to double down, eat even less, and try even harder. Sound familiar? This is the diet cycle in action. And it's not just unhelpful, it's harmful.

In today's episode, they discuss why extreme approaches to weight loss *always* backfire. If you've ever felt the urge to eat less, cut more, or push harder because you feel stuck, this conversation is for you. Jen and Annie are here to help you stop the cycle and try a different path… one that actually supports your goals and your well-being.
