Episode 129: 7 Weight Loss Strategies That are Fat Traps in Disguise

Jul 26, 2024
 

 

By the time we reach our 40’s and 50’s, chances are, we’ve tried quite a few different diets. We came of age during the diet culture of the 80’s and 90’s, so this certainly isn’t breaking news. But what you may not know, is that these top 7 weight loss strategies are actually fat traps in disguise. 

In this episode of Your Midlife Comeback Story, we’re going to answer the question… what exactly are those top 7 weight loss strategies that we all seem to fall back on, and why aren’t they working? And today, because I didn’t want this information to go in one ear and out the other, you’re getting an unexpected bonus. I made this a little more memorable for you by naming these 7 weight loss strategies with some fun 80’s nostalgia. 

I’m going out on a limb and guessing that you’ve probably tried at least 3 of these 7 strategies. And no judgement here, because I’ve done all of them! But I’m wondering… are you going to resonate more with The Pac Man, or maybe The Mullet, or maybe you’ve had a friend convince you to do Hands Across America with her.

If you’re interested in learning more about the top 7 weight loss strategies that are keeping your weight plateaued, and are maybe even causing you to gain weight, then keep listening, because this episode is for you. At the end, you’ll also get 1 1/2 additional weight loss strategies that I recommend, and that actually work for long-term, sustainable results. 

Together, we will unpack:

  • What exactly are the top 7 weight loss strategies that we all seem to fall back on, and why aren’t they working?
  • How our "triggers" determine which type of weight loss program we choose.
  • How truly understanding weight loss will lead you from "I got this" to "I GET this".
  • What are some alternative weight loss methodologies that will produce effective and long lasting results?
