Most people can lose weight. Very few keep it off. In this episode, we unpack why maintaining weight loss is harder than achieving it — and why the answer goes far beyond willpower.We cover the physiological changes that increase hunger after dieting, how your metabolism adapts during fat loss, and the psychological trap of the “diet is over” mindset. We also explain why weight regain is usually slow and subtle, the identity shift required for long-term maintenance, and practical strategies you can use to prevent the drift. If you’ve ever lost weight only to see it creep back, this conversation will give you clarity — and a plan.
