Reasons You’re Not Ready to Diet — Yet

In this episode, we break down the most common reasons people struggle to lose fat: poor sleep, chronic stress, lack of structure, unsupportive environments, and more. You’ll learn why it’s not about willpower or the “perfect plan,” but about addressing what’s really holding you back. From sleep hygiene and time management to mindset and self-belief, this conversation will help you identify what to fix before you start a fat-loss phase — so that when you do, you actually see results that last.
