I believe the reason why so many people fail on weight loss diets is because the diet programming itself is failing you. 

Are you tired of trying out a million different diets only to feel hungry and deprived after just a few weeks? Or maybe you've come close to achieving your dream body but consistently struggle to shed those last few pounds? If any of this sounds familiar, this episode is perfect for you! Today, I share my top tips and proven strategies for understanding the right calorie deficit for your unique body. 

Plus, I explain why you tend to slip up in the final week or two of your diet, how to focus on body composition once you've reached your weight loss goal and the simple science behind weight loss.
