Love Food And Still Lose Weight: Why Food Isn’t the Enemy and What To Do Instead
Ever said I can’t lose weight, I just love food too much
This episode shows why that belief keeps you stuck. Max and head coach Shane break down the real reason weight loss feels hard, and it’s not pizza or ice cream. It is the habits, emotions, and beliefs driving when and why you eat. Once you change those, you can enjoy food and see steady results without restriction.
What you will learn
• Why calories in, calories out is true but not the whole story
• How emotional eating, stress, boredom, and all-or-nothing thinking drive overeating more than the food itself
• The “Amy vs Janet” example that explains why two people react so differently to the same trigger
• Simple tools to change the moment you want to raid the kitchen
Make a 3 to 5 item list of non-food soothers you can do right away
Pause and name the feeling using a feelings wheel
Try a short walk outside, slow breathing, a quick journal note, or a call with a friend
• Why walking, sleep, and protein-rich meals calm cravings and make a calorie deficit feel easier
• How to design your environment so good choices are automatic
This is not about cutting carbs or earning your dinner in the gym. It is about learning what food does for you in certain moments and choosing a better option when you need it. You will hear how clients shift from autopilot snacking to mindful eating, from guilt to confidence, and from stop-start dieting to habits that run on autopilot. When you pair simple nutrition with steady movement and a kinder inner voice, food becomes both fun and fuel. That is when weight loss sticks.
If you love food and want sustainable weight loss, this episode gives you the mindset and tools to make it happen without giving up your life.
