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.

Have you ever experienced what felt like a significant jump on the scale shortly after finishing a diet?

You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’ll convince you that your end of diet weight is a lie.
