Ep 25: The Diet Lie Keeping You Stuck: There’s No “Good” or “Bad” Food
15 Nov 2025
If you still label food as naughty or clean, you’re setting yourself up to binge, quit, and start over again. Here’s the simple fix.Most women don’t fail because they “can’t do diets.” They fail because they’re stuck in a moral tug-of-war with food. In this straight talk, I break down the only things that matter for fat loss: a real calorie deficit you can stick to, protein for muscle, carbs for energy, fats for hormones, and portions that fit your target. We call out crash cuts, why GLP-1 appetite drops plus junk choices leave you flat and weak, and how to plan your favorite meals so you stop blowing up your week at 8 p.m. You’ll get the Death Row Meal strategy for emotional nights, simple portion swaps, and a no-guilt way to eat burgers, pasta, and dessert while still hitting goals. No food shame. Just food, portions, and a plan.Key details: Fat loss needs a calorie deficit you can sustain, not a starvation sprint.Macros matter for how you look and feel: protein, carbs, fats all have a job.Stop food moralizing. Plan the foods you love and make them fit the numbers.Use the Death Row Meal as a pressure valve, then move on.Small swaps, pre-planning, and consistency beat “perfect” every time. Hosted on Acast.
