Time for a much-needed reality check.

"Willpower" is right up there with "motivation" as one of the most over-used, overrated and unnecessary terms out there when discussing weight loss.

In this episode of the show we not only explain to you why willpower has nothing to do with it, but how you can take willpower completely out of the equation and get on with the task at hand!

S2E05 - Why willpower has nothing to do with it

The Weight Loss Podcast is a podcast focused on helping you lose the weight and never find it again in a realistic, sustainable and healthy way.

Hosts Matt and Courtney are a married couple who together have lost a combined 105kg/230lbs between them.

They'll share their own inspirational stories of weight loss and the mindset struggles behind it, as well as interview real people just like you who will share their own stories of struggle and success.

Along with tips, tools, resources and support to help you achieve your own goals, you'll get your questions answered in our regular Q&A segment!

If you've just started your weight loss journey, are well on your way through it or are maintaining your success and are looking to connect with like-minded people, this show is for you.

Matt and Courtney bring their own individual perspectives from a male and female point of view and aren't afraid to voice their opinions with each other so you can guarantee this show will be raw, real and relatable!
