Most people won't keep the weight off.
That's pretty depressing.
Losing weight isn't actually hard... wait, who am I kidding it was freaking hard for most of my life until I learned about calorie density!
Keeping it off is statistically not probable but YOU can beat the odds when you shift your focus from results to habits.
This isn't something you do when you reach your goal weight or fit into size 0 jeans.
You have to start these habits NOW if you want this to be different from all the other weight loss attempts of the past!!
Here are the 3 biggest successful habits for long-term weight loss and they're all things you can do TODAY!!

Until next time!!

To lose fat you need to get into a calorie deficit...period.
There is NO other way to lose fat!!! (Except liposuction)
But lowering your calories doesn't mean you have to count them!!
You can easily lower your calories without counting by understanding and utilising calorie density, and this episode shows the action steps to make that happen... even when you don't know a starting number or calorie goal.

In this episode, I simplify the science of weight loss and explain how you can be eating exceptionally healthy and still not lose weight.
 It’s vital to have a solid grasp on this information to understand HOW to start losing weight and WHY different diets work, so if you’re new to the podcast I recommend starting here.
 
 I also share my story of struggling with disordered eating, food restriction, binge eating, massive weight fluctuations and never being able to get to a healthy lean weight or MAINTAIN it, all while being frustrated and confused as I was eating such a healthy plant-based diet.
I explain what a calorie deficit is and how necessary it is for weight loss.
