This is Skyler, and I am sitting down with Cooper Mall, who is Commune's senior podcast producer,

and we wanted to share a couple lessons from a few of our favorite commune courses. And today we're going to give you a couple

from Jillian Michael's weight loss master class. And Jillian's just fun and kooky. Okay, let me

just say that she opens this course by saying, diet culture has been rife with bullshit since its inception.

So Jillian had me at line one.

And in this course, so she's going to get into what's the right weight loss goal for you.

How many calories are you really burning in a day?

How much should you eat based on your metabolism? Why fad diets or distractions? What actually

matters? How to make exercise your most powerful weight loss tool? How to navigate hormonal

issues that is slowing your weight loss down, guidelines for managing emotional eating,

relationship advice to avoid sabotaging your success, how to put all this together in a weekly

personalized plan and tools for managing your environment so you will not be reliant solely

on your own freaking willpower. Surely you have heard of Jillian Michaels because this woman has

truly withstood the test of time. She has been around for what? Three decades? Yeah. And she is

still crushing it. She is a firebrand. She is unfiltered and she is really fun to listen to. Yep. Here you have day seven. Why do we have

insatiable hunger? Hopefully Hopefully by now I have beaten it into your head that you gain weight because you've eaten more energy than you've burned in your day and you have stored that energy in your fat cells.

But have you ever wondered why you're overeating? And when I say

overeating, I mean it, literally eating more than you're burning. Hence, overeating. This is actually

a crucial question that we've got to be asking because the human body has homeostatic mechanisms

put into place to help us maintain homeostasis,

which is a state of balance among all the body systems needed for the body to survive and

function correctly. So think body temperature, stomach and blood pH, hunger regulation.
