The 6 Ps of Sustainable Fat Loss
Episode description
I painstakingly found 6 words that start with the letter P that depict what you need for sustainable fat loss. But that's not all! I also came up with 4 additional P words to describe what you DON'T need...
Kidding, I used ChatGPT to come up with the P words for me, lest you think I slaved over a thesaurus all day.
Most people are taught to chase weight loss with scales, calorie math, and expensive supplements... and then blame themselves when it all falls apart.
In this episode, I lay out the actual ingredients for sustainable fat loss: 6 powerful P-words you need to embrace (practice, permission, placebo, plateaus, patience and pants 🤔), and 4 Ps you can toss in the trash (pounds, precision, plans, and pills).
