If you have been losing and gaining the same weight on repeat for years, I want to ask you something. Are you doing the same thing that created the cycle in the first place? Today I am breaking down exactly why you keep losing and gaining the same weight, and it is not because you lack willpower or because your body is broken.
I am getting personal in this one, taking you back to my own yo-yo years from 15 to 19, the counting out 10 carrots, the intense BBG workouts, losing 10 pounds every summer like clockwork and gaining it right back every single time. I walk you through what is actually happening inside your metabolism during that cycle, why a severe calorie deficit gets read by your body as a famine, and why that response slows your metabolic rate, breaks down muscle, and ramps up your hunger hormones until the weight comes roaring back.
We are getting into the three things your metabolism actually needs to break the cycle for good. Why eating more to lose more through something called reverse dieting works, why swapping cortisol-spiking cardio for strength training and walking changes everything, and why building something sustainable instead of something impressive is the only plan that actually lasts. I also share how this exact shift is what finally helped me lose 65 pounds and keep it off through two pregnancies, postpartum, and building a business.
You have lost this weight before. The question was never whether you could lose it, it has always been whether you could keep it. This episode gives you the truth about what your metabolism actually needs so this can be the last time.
xoxo,
Jackie
