242: Why Real Results Take Time: The Truth About Sustainable Fat Loss

OVERVIEW:

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Why is this taking so long?!”—this episode is for you.

Today, I’m diving into a conversation that’s been coming up again and again with my 1:1 clients: the frustration that can come with making sustainable changes and not seeing results as fast as we’ve been conditioned to expect.

From social media highlight reels to quick-fix diet programs, we’ve been sold the idea that weight loss should be fast, dramatic, and easy. But when you choose a sustainable, hormone-friendly approach—where you’re not starving, overtraining, or cutting out major food groups—the journey looks very different.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Why so many women feel frustrated with their pace of progress

  • How misinformation from the diet industry warps our expectations

  • The three biggest mistakes I see when it comes to timelines and transformation

  • Why true, lasting change takes longer—but is so much more worth it

  • How to reframe your journey so you stop comparing it to the crash diets of your past

If you’ve ever questioned whether your hard work is paying off—listen in. This episode is your reminder that you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and you’re doing it right.
