    A review concluded that “diet-induced weight loss results in long-term changes in appetite gut hormones, postulated to favour increased appetite and weight regain” (Lean & Malkova, 2016, p. 622). There are other physiological changes. When food intake was restricted, the resulting loss of body fat was associated with a decrease in the production of body heat and a reduction in metabolic rate (Dulloo & Jacquet, 1998), changes that will facilitate a return to the initial weight. More generally, the perceived reward of food increased following weight loss (Cameron, Goldfield, Cyr, & Doucet, 2008).

  • Ep 28: Selling Confidence with Entrepreneur Liz Holtz

    Confidence can be really hard to find…let alone to sell! Today we are chatting with one of our favorites, Liz Holtz. 


    She is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of LiCi Fit, a fitness and lifestyle brand that empowers women to embrace their uniqueness and cultivate self-confidence. Liz started the brand with her best friend Cinee, and without any funding or business experience, and together they grew from their small apartment to a multi-million dollar brand. 


    Before entering the world of fashion, Liz dedicated her adolescent years to training to be a professional dancer. After graduating with a BFA in Dance Performance, Liz was forced to explore new avenues after a career-ending injury. Through her own journey of physical therapy and healing, Liz discovered her passion for fitness and her desire to inspire other women to unleash their confidence through self-improvement. This led her to pursue a career in personal training. 


    After a few years of experience in the fitness space, Liz and Cinee felt that there was something missing in women’s activewear- a fashionable look AND the perfect fit- and so LiCi Fit was born. A fast-growing brand gaining recognition for its high-quality fabric, curve accentuating tailoring, and fierce prints, LiCi has a fan base of celebrities including Kylie Jenner, SZA, Vanessa Hudgens, and Bebe Rexha to name a few. LiCi has also been featured in Forbes “Summer Fun Fashion Trends” List. 


    LiCi’s ability to combine style and functionality has not only garnered recognition and success, but has also created a community and inspired women all over the world to embrace their bodies, stand out, and pursue their dreams with confidence.
