168: Why Your Calorie Deficit Isn't Working (And It's Not About Calories)29 Jun27 min

Many women believe they're in a calorie deficit but aren't seeing the scale move. In this episode, Megan explains why weight loss struggles stem from the habits, routines, mindset patterns, emotional eating behaviors, self-talk, and lifestyle factors that make consistency difficult. Just losing weight doesn't fix behaviors that led to gaining weight.

You'll learn:

• Why you're not actually in a calorie deficit if you're not losing weight

• The hidden reasons consistency breaks down

• Why emotional eating, all-or-nothing thinking, and poor food relationships sabotage progress

• The 3 foundational skills you need before calorie counting

• Why focusing on the root cause of weight gain matters more than focusing on weight loss

• How to build a lifestyle that makes keeping weight off easier

If you've ever thought, "I'm in a calorie deficit and not losing weight," this episode will help you figure out what's really getting in the way!

The goal isn't just to lose weight. The goal is to create a life where maintaining a healthy weight becomes the natural result of how you live.
