    230 - What To Change When The Scale Isn't Going Down

    In this episode, Maggie and Ryan discuss what to do when the number on the scale isn't moving. They explain that the real reason most people aren't losing weight is because they are overeating, often in small ways they may not even realize. Instead of drastically cutting calories or eliminating food groups, they recommend focusing on reducing the extra snacks and unintentional eating outside of meals. By paying attention to hunger cues and planning ahead, you can identify and reduce the overeating that is preventing weight loss.

    229 - Tips For Listening To Your Higher Brain Over Your Habit Brain

    229 - Tips For Listening To Your Higher Brain Over Your Habit Brain

    In this episode, we discuss the importance of slowing down and tuning into your body's signals when trying to lose weight. Your habit brain may be telling you to react quickly and eat, but your higher brain knows what you truly want. To listen to your higher brain, create pauses between urges and actions, and consider tools like timers, reminders, or journal prompts. Recognize that the work may feel challenging at first, but gets easier with practice. Finally, regulating your nervous system through exercises like deep breathing or walking can help you better connect with your higher brain and reach your goals.

    228 - External Motivators And Mental Guardrails: Staying Motivated For The Last 10 Pounds

    228 - External Motivators And Mental Guardrails: Staying Motivated For The Last 10 Pounds

    In this episode, Maggie discusses the concept of creating mental guardrails to help with weight loss, particularly when trying to lose the last 5-10 pounds. She emphasizes the importance of finding strong internal motivation and reasons for wanting to lose weight, as external motivators like upcoming events are often not sustainable. Maggie also explores the idea that having a small weight range can lead to more negotiation and overeat ing, as the consequences don't seem as significant. She encourages listeners to decide whether they are content with their current weight range or if they truly want to push for the last few pounds, and to set up their own mental guardrails accordingly.

Love this podcast

I initially found out about this podcast via TikTok, watching small clips. I’ve listened to all of the episodes. I’ve found them helpful, even the early sustaining keto episodes, and I’m not keto. The fact that Maggie and Ryan also struggle makes this podcast more relatable. If they can do it, we can do it too. Maggie once said, nobody ever regrets NOT eating the cookie in the morning. That one statement has been huge for me and saved me countless poor food choices. I like to listen to the podcast during my workouts and I’m starting over again just because I like what they have to say and their voices are calm, soothing and now familiar. Kind of like rewatching one of your favorite movies.

The Forever Plan

“Eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re full.” I learned this concept from Geneen Roth about 10 years ago, but I was unable to put this advice into practice until I found this podcast.
Maggie and Ryan offer straightforward, clear, sane and sensible advice. Every week they support me on my weight loss journey. With this podcast I have seen a slow and steady weight loss. But more importantly I have learned to make a plan and follow through with it. I have learned to trust myself in general, but especially around food. Maggie told me that I can do this. I listened and I dared to believe her.
Best of all, I eat three delicious meals and a few yummy snacks everyday. I eat what I love while losing weight and feeling positive and strong. And that has been the most dramatic and exciting result. After a lifetime of struggling with food I am finally, FINALLY, calmly and confidently on the right path.
Maggie and Ryan - thank you for figuring this weight thing out and sharing your wisdom with us!

Negativity

So many recent episodes start with the hosts complaining about having to do another podcast. It makes me feel like they don’t truly care about their audience.
