You Don't Need Another Diet - You Need This One Skill

Show Notes

Losing weight is rarely where women get stuck — it's keeping it off that trips most of us up. In this episode, I'm breaking down the real reasons for weight regain, both the short-term weekend gains that kill your momentum during weight loss, and the longer-term regain that shows up months or years after you've hit your goal. I'm sharing the exact weight maintenance strategy — my 80/20 rule — that has kept me at my goal weight for 25 years, plus the mindset shift that makes sustainable weight loss possible instead of just another diet that ends in regain.

What You'll Learn

  • Why weight regain isn't about willpower — and what it actually is a predictable result of
  • The most common short-term causes of weekend weight gain, including alcohol, social eating, and slipping keystone habits

  • The real reason most diets lead to weight regain within a few years
  • How to shift from "being on a diet" to sustainable low carb weight loss for life
  • My personal 80/20 rule for weight maintenance, and how it differs from a 95/5 approach for weight loss

One Action To Start Now

Ask yourself: what has been the number one reason the weight has come back for me in the past? Not five reasons — just the main one. Was it the weekends, the wine, or the "diet's over" mindset? Write it down, say it out loud, and then ask yourself the harder question: am I ready to change it for good, not just for the short term?
