Hey, hey, beautiful human. Can I steal five minutes of your time? I have something super important to share with you, but I promise I'll be really quick. You're listening to my weekly bonus episode of Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Labbetter. I'm about to give you a quick tip for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving your authentic self. Stay tuned. If you're ready to embrace a real, let's get it.

Let's go.

Hello and welcome back to another bonus episode on the Embrace Real podcast.

Today we're tackling a question that I know so many of you

have asked yourself after a night out or a holiday meal or maybe just a weekend where things did

not go perfectly whatsoever. You step on the scale, whether that is the next morning or it's

after a few days and you're like up three, four, maybe even five pounds. And your brain

immediately goes, oh no, I ruined everything

in that one meal. But here's the truth. One meal cannot make you gain five pounds of fat. It literally

is not possible. And today I'm going to be explaining what actually happens in your body.

And most importantly, how to respond so that you don't fall into the trap of over-restricting,

over-exercising, and making up for it. By the end of this episode, you'll know the math behind

weight gain and why one meal doesn't equate to five pounds of fat. What actually is happening

in your body when the scale jumps overnight and the exact steps that you can take to feel

better physically and mentally

without sabotaging yourself. So if you've ever freaked out over the scale after a bad meal,

this episode is going to bring you some serious piece of mind. But before we dive in, I want to

share this review. It comes from Live in La Vida Coco. She gave a five-star review and said,

how am I just finding this? I found Julianne Pinterest and gave her podcast a listen based on a video clip that she posted there,

and I'm so glad that she did.

I love her content.

It's relatable, digestible, and useful.
