Summary

Your body is wired for survival, not aesthetics, and the moment you lose weight, it fights back with everything it's got. I've seen too many women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond lose significant weight only to watch it creep back on—sometimes leaving them worse off than when they started. The harsh reality is that your metabolism can drop 5-20% lower than it should be after weight loss, your hunger hormones go haywire, and your body literally pushes you to overeat. But here's what the National Weight Control Registry has taught us about the people who successfully keep weight off: they don't just maintain—they continuously evolve their approach. They move more, eat consistently, track their progress, and most importantly, they transform their identity from someone who lost weight to someone who lives like a naturally lean person. The secret isn't perfection; it's understanding that staying where you want to be requires different strategies than getting there in the first place.   What you’ll learn: Why your metabolism drops more than expected after weight loss and how to combat metabolic adaptation The specific exercise requirements for successful weight maintenance (hint: it's more than you think) How to navigate hunger hormones that sabotage your efforts and practical solutions to stay satisfied The controversial daily habits that 80% of successful maintainers practice consistently Why tracking and monitoring become even more critical in maintenance than during weight loss How to shift your identity and lifestyle to match your new body composition goals The role of sleep and stress in weight regain and how to protect your progress When to seek help if your weight starts creeping back up despite doing everything right Love the Podcast?
