With the new year just around the corner, many of us are already setting weight loss goals. But while weight loss is a common resolution, the majority of people who embark on diet plans will find that they struggle to maintain the progress they make. In this episode, we explore two of the most important factors behind this high failure rate: mindset and maintenance strategy. If you’ve ever found yourself constantly dieting without long-term success, this episode is for you.
We kick things off by addressing mindset. Wanting to lose weight is not inherently bad, but when weight loss becomes your only goal, it can set you up for failure. The key is shifting your focus from short-term weight loss to building a healthier lifestyle. This episode dives into how this shift in mindset can make a huge difference in your health journey, helping you focus on long-lasting habits rather than chasing quick results.
The second critical point is your maintenance strategy. While many people understand that creating a calorie deficit is essential for weight loss, they often overlook how to maintain that weight loss. After you’ve reached your goal weight, your diet strategy needs to shift. We discuss metabolic adaptation and the importance of reverse dieting - a crucial step that many diets leave out. Reverse dieting helps your metabolism adjust to higher calorie intake, ensuring you can maintain your weight loss without feeling deprived or fatigued.
To wrap up, we talk about how you can break free from the endless cycle of dieting, maintain your weight loss, and live a healthier lifestyle long-term.
