Summary

In this episode, I discuss whether now is the right time to start a diet. I emphasise the importance of considering upcoming life challenges and stress that dieting for fat loss differs from simply eating healthily. I outline the need for a solid foundation of healthy eating habits before entering a dieting phase and highlight the significance of planning and strategising around social events and stressors. I also discuss the benefits of breaking up dieting phases with maintenance periods to enhance sustainability and motivation.
