The Shane Walsh Podcast

In this amazing client interview I had the pleasure of chatting with one of my 1-1 clients who is finishing up after 2 years. From years of yo-yo dieting to no food noise, to her amazing story and stopping emotional eating for good.

In this episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of chatting with Donna Jackson for the Coaching with Integrity Podcast.


In this episode, we're talking about one of the most misunderstood clients in the fitness industry: the chronic yo-yo dieter. The person who knows exactly what to do, has done it before, and somehow ends up back at square one. Again.
We dig into why labelling these clients as lacking discipline is not only wrong — it's actively making things worse. Years of dieting leave a mark, not just physically but psychologically, and coaching them the same way you'd coach a first-timer is a recipe for another rebound.
We cover:
Why adherence failure is a coaching problem, not a client problem
The emotional and behavioural patterns that keep chronic dieters stuck
What the first 30 days with these clients should actually look like
The dietary approaches most likely to backfire — and what to do instead
Why maintenance is a skill set coaches need to actively teach
How to build client autonomy so they don't need you forever
If you want help breaking away from yo-yo dieting

In this episode I chat with one of my clients who is finishing working 1-1 with me after 3 years. We chat about everything from body image, why food was never the issue, mental health and advice to others.

There's a strange point in dieting that nobody warns you about. It doesn't happen on day one. Or even week one. It happens quietly, somewhere in the middle of your 10th restart.
You stop seeing it as something you're doing… And you start believing it's just who you are.
"I'm someone who falls off track."
"I'm someone who starts strong and then loses it." 
"I'm someone who always has to restart on Monday."
And once that identity settles in, it changes everything. here is how to challenge this identity

This podcast challenges the idea that weight loss is a discipline problem.
If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of starting over, all-or-nothing thinking, or struggling to stay consistent despite your best intentions, this is for you.
We explore the real reasons people struggle with weight loss—not lack of willpower, but the patterns, beliefs, and systems that keep them stuck.
Simple, honest conversations about food, habits, mindset, and what it actually takes to create lasting change without perfection.
No extremes. No guilt. Just a more sustainable way forward.
