Why are you failing at weight loss?

*IMPORTANT* This podcast episode no longer represents 100% of how I like to practice. I now do health-first, weight-neutral nutrition. This means that the advice aims to maximise your long-term health. Weight loss is treated as a side effect rather than the end goal. After further research and 20 years of experience, I now feel that this is the best way to promote physical and mental health for people so they can ditch food stress and eat well for the rest of their lives. I’ve been helping people lose weight for a long time. After years of chatting to people about their health, their food, their exercise, their daily habits and all the factors that go into successful weight loss, not to mention losing weight myself, I’ve concluded a few things:Most people are not successful at losing weight.If people happen to be successful at losing weight, they’re not successful at keeping it off.Weight loss is super hard. Maintaining weight loss is even more challenging, for a whole bunch of different reasons.And if I were to get into the biochemistry of how our bodies function metabolically and why it’s so hard, I’d need 100s of podcast episodes. Just know that it’s complicated.Despite the complications, there are some common mistakes that many people make. One or more of these reasons might be why, year after year, you’re still “trying to lose weight” – often frustrated and over the constant mind games!In this episode I’m going to chat through the main reasons you’re not losing weight and what you can do about it.This podcast is proudly brought to you by the Capital Chemist.
