Why High Achievers ALWAYS Diet Too Late | Summer Body Mini-Series | PD Podcast Ep.257

If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLEEvery year around the same time, the same pattern shows up. Smart, disciplined, high-achieving women wake up and think, "Okay, now I need to get serious." And what that usually means is: less food, more rules, more pressure, and a shrinking timeline.In the first episode of this 4-part mini-series, Sue and Alex break down why high-achievers consistently diet too late, and why turning fat loss into an emergency almost always backfires. When fat loss feels urgent, you've likely waited too long.This series exists to help you stop treating your body like a last-minute project and start running it like a long-term system—so you can look and feel your best by summer without crash dieting or burning out. So if you're someone who's great at pushing, overriding signals, and "handling it," this is for you.Have questions for future episodes or a topic you'd like us to cover?
