“Is Protein Slowing Down My Weight Loss?” — A Real Client Story + The Truth About Fat Loss Myths

Welcome back to the newly resurrected KD Weight Loss Podcast – now coming to you from the freedom of full-time coaching life (bye-bye Tesco trolleys 👋)! In this raw and relatable episode, I dive into a powerful voice note from “Mrs. I” – a mid-40s client who's crushing it in her journey but feeling like it’s all happening too slowly… and wondering: is her new high-protein approach actually working against her? Spoiler alert: there’s a whole lot more going on beneath the surface – and it all ties back to the toxic legacy of Slimming World, dodgy weigh-in models, and why speed isn’t the same as success. 💥 Whether you’ve ever felt “silly” for asking honest questions or you’ve been haunted by the sins of a Mars Bar (literally), this one is for you. I cover... The podcast returns post-Tesco with some real talk. “Mrs. I” and the car park crisis: when weight loss feels painfully slow. Why Slimming World sets you up to fail: public weigh-ins, shame models & zero support. The real issue with “evening weigh-ins” and why scale weight lies to you. What diet clubs never tell you: food guilt, carb confusion & water weight myths. The false promise of fast weight loss – and why it doesn’t mean feeling better. Mrs. I’s new approach: strength training, realistic protein goals & sustainable change. The truth about high-protein diets: does it really slow fat loss?
