I Gained 3 Pounds Back: What to Do When the Scale Goes Back Up

from Set Point Science · host Cheri Alberts

I stepped on the scale and it went UP 3 pounds again. Now what? Most of us do one of two things: restrict harder or stress eat. Both backfire. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly what I did when the scale showed I'd gained 3 pounds back, why I didn't panic, and the method that's actually changing my body from the inside out. In this episode: 👉 The two extremes that keep you stuck in the binge-restrict cycle 👉 What "flow state" has to do with sustainable weight loss (a black belt athlete explains it best) 👉 High satiety eating: why feeling done is more powerful than feeling full 👉 Weight defense: the real reason your body fights back when you push too hard 👉 What visceral fat softening feels like... and why the scale doesn't always tell the whole story 👉 The one phrase I use every single time the scale disappoints me If you've been white-knuckling your way through weight loss and it's still not working, this episode is for you.   🎓 Passive Weight Loss Course: learn the difference between pushing for weight loss and letting it happen without the stress: 👉 setpointscience.com/passive   💛 Set Point Restore: monthly coaching with me, personally, to finally lose it sustainably and peacefully: 👉 setpointscience.com/restore   🎙️ Set Point Science Podcast: simplifying midlife weight loss until it finally feels sustainable and permanent. setpointscience.com/episodes
