Ep 549: Why Diets Are So Damn Hard

Ever start a new diet and feel like you’re finally on track… until it all falls apart? I know that cycle so well. In this episode, I’m talking about what I call the compulsion to eat—why it kicks in even when you’re doing everything “right,” and how we can start to break free from it together.

  • The rush of starting strong—and why it fades
  • What the “monster” inside us actually is
  • Three hidden drivers of the compulsion to eat
