251| Is Being 'Good' All Week Actually Stalling Your Fat Loss?

Episode Description from the Publisher

Is being good on your diet all week actually working against your goals? For years, I lived by a rule that felt totally logical: be strict Monday through Friday, then loosen up on the weekends. Eat clean, skip the carbs, say no to everything fun... and then somehow "make up for it" by Saturday. Sound familiar? I want to tell you something I don't talk about very often: I struggled with this exact pattern for years. Years. And no matter how disciplined I was during the week, the weekends always seemed to undo everything I worked for. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" Monday through Friday, only to watch it all unravel by Sunday night, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down why restrictive dieting almost never works the way we think it will, and why the harder you try to white-knuckle your way through the week, the more likely you are to lose control when the weekend hits. There's actual biology behind this, and once you understand what's happening in your body (and your brain), it changes everything about how you approach fat loss. I'm also sharing what finally worked for me, after years of trial and error, and what I now teach the moms I coach who are stuck in this same cycle. If you're tired of the restrict and rebound pattern and you're ready for an approach that actually sticks, hit play. -Rachel Next Steps: 100 Gram Protein Cheat-Sheet Book a Free Discovery Call to see if my program is a good fit for you Fat Loss Formula for Moms Coaching Program
