Episode description
EPISODE 403. Ever start a diet on Monday and find yourself elbow-deep in snacks by Thursday? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken! In this episode of Fit Friends Happy Hour, Katie dives into the messy truth about dieting: why they seem to work (at first), why the excitement wears off, and what the science says about long-term results. If you’re tired of all-or-nothing diet rules and ready for a more sustainable way to feel good in your body, this conversation is a must-listen.
