Show Notes
I lost 100 pounds 16 years ago, but what if I had to start all over?
Today, I'm giving you "The Exact Steps To Lose the First 30 Pounds (I would do these if I had to start over)".
And I think you'll be surprised how much of it has NOTHING to do with food.
Inside the episode, I break it down into 3 phases, and each one might surprise you:
- First 10 pounds: I wouldn't change anything about what I was eating. I'd focus on 4 simple things instead
- Second 10 pounds: I'd track a few hidden eating patterns (once you see them, you'll never look at food the same way)
- Final 10 pounds: Only NOW would I pay attention to food. I wouldn't cut anything out, but maybe make some simple swaps.
Want to know exactly what I'd do to lose 30 pounds? Listen now.
Most of us fail diets because we try to make a million changes on day one. I did that for YEARS.
What finally worked was taking baby steps that felt doable - even when my brain screamed, "that's not enough!"
The scale can go down while your quality of life goes up. It's not just possible - it's the only way to lose weight and keep it off.
