Let’s clear the air about weight loss once and for all. If you do want to lose weight, that’s great. If you don’t, that’s also great. You get to decide.

But here’s the truth nobody really talks about:

Most people chase weight loss with the same “eat less, do more” or “work harder, hustle more” approach. It might work for a flash—but long-term? Not so much.

Ever wonder why you’ve lost weight only to backslide again? It’s because pushing too hard or restricting too much eventually backfires. Your body craves stability. Overdoing it is like giving your body a constant “red alert” signal.

When that happens, you start seeing all the warning signs: low energy, cravings, weight loss plateaus, poor sleep, and more. The more you force it, the more “normal” those warning signs start to feel—until you forget what it’s like to operate at your best.

So what’s the real solution?

Stop pursuing weight loss for endless stretches of time. Give your body the support it needs to feel safe. That might mean eating more, taking breaks, prioritizing recovery, or implementing better processes.

Focus on approaches that align with you and your long-term goals. You’re more consistent and less stressed when your plan is built for you—not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Use structured phases. This might be periods of maintenance or “re-feed” weeks. Essentially, you want to avoid constant high stress.

Accommodate your lifestyle. If you enjoy social events, family dinners, or traveling, your approach should include that. No need for all-or-nothing thinking.

This is the exact process I use in my 1 on 1 coaching program. I combine an understanding of your metabolism with a structured, individualized plan. No hamster wheel, no endless stress—just sustainable progress.
