What if your diet started as a solution and became the problem?

In this episode, I’ll share a story about a man who wins the lottery and ends up solving a series of problems with the wrong solutions. It’s the perfect metaphor for how we end up trapped in the cycle of dieting.

We’re talking about a powerful idea today:

I’ll also introduce one of the 7 assumptions I use in my Quit Your Diet program—assumptions that can shift the way you see yourself and your habits.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the dieting loop, this episode will help you see why... and how to start building your escape plan.
