Have you ever heard somebody say that diet worked for me? I just couldn't stick with it.

So here's the thing. If you lost weight, but you regained it after the diet, did the diet really work?

That is what we're going to talk about on today's episode. I really want to dive into what makes a diet truly successful and why so many women will lose weight only to gain it back, sometimes

even more than they lost originally. So we're going to talk about why that happens, how muscle

loss plays a huge role in that. And we're also going to touch on what happens after stopping

GLP1 medications, what research is showing. So I think before we can even get into what makes a diet successful

we have to define like what is success of course when we start a fat loss journey the goal for

most women is to see the scale drop but the problem is most diets only measure one metric which is

the scale and we know if you've listened to any

amount of episodes you know that there are so many metrics that we can measure that will tell

you about progress than just the scale now you also know that I am not somebody who is against the scale. I highly

recommend using the scale as data, not having an emotional tie to what it's telling you. But there

are so many other metrics outside of the scale that can tell us if we're making progress. Obviously,

we take measurements. We use pictures.

But things like your biofeedback, how you are feeling, how your sleep is, your relationship

with food, your energy, your digestion, your sex drive.

Again, there are so many metrics that can tell you if you are making progress than just

the scale.

So that's the first thing, that we want to

make sure that we are defining what success is when we are entering a diet. The second thing is

if you're losing 20 pounds and you do that over the course of like eight to 12 weeks,

that sounds awesome. That is like, that's the goal, right? That's amazing.
