Why You Keep Gaining the Weight Back (Take a Diet Break)

To sign up for my coaching: https://ob-health.com/If you keep losing weight and gaining it right back, this is why. It's not willpower and it's not discipline, it's that you never learned the phase nobody talks about: the diet break. In this post-gym dinner talk I break down why the restrict-and-binge cycle keeps you stuck, why obsessing over the scale sabotages you, and why eating MORE at maintenance every 12 to 16 weeks is what actually keeps the weight off for good.I get honest about how coaches (me included) used to love all-or-nothing clients because they get fast, dramatic before-and-afters, and why that's exactly why the weight comes back. I cover what a diet break actually is, the physical signs you need one (stagnant weight, food on the brain, strength dropping, and how the timing differs for men and women), why maintenance teaches you more than the deficit ever will, what the research actually says (it's about adherence, not a magic metabolism boost), and why a coach matters most during the scary part when the scale goes up. If you're a chronic yo-yo dieter, this is your missing piece.CHAPTERS0:00 The restrict-and-binge cycle that keeps you stuck1:05 What today's coaching call was about: diet breaks1:50 Why coaches profit from all-or-nothing clients3:00 What a diet break actually is (every 12-16 weeks)3:45 The signs you need one4:52 Why maintenance teaches you more than the deficit5:35 The research: it's adherence, not metabolism6:40 Why a coach matters most at maintenance8:11 The client who forgot to notice she hit her goal10:26 Track weekly averages, and let health serve your life11:40 The hunger scale (aim for a 3 to 6)If this hit you, comment below and I'll point you in the right direction.
