5 Fat Loss Myths Keeping You Stuck in the Diet Cycle (and What Actually Works)
Are you tired of dieting, losing weight, regaining it, and starting all over again? You’re not alone. For many women over 40, the struggle with weight loss isn’t about lack of willpower—it’s about falling for the same diet myths that keep you trapped in the cycle of restriction, bingeing, guilt, and starting over.
In this episode, weight loss coach and author Max Lowery exposes five of the most common fat loss myths that prevent people from reaching and sustaining their goals. If you’ve ever cut carbs, forced yourself into crash diets, or believed you had to “earn” your food through punishing workouts, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.
Here’s what you’ll learn inside:
Why fad diets always fail (and how they keep you stuck in the dieting cycle for decades).
The truth about carbohydrates—why eating bread, pasta, and even pizza doesn’t stop fat loss.
Spot reduction myths busted—why endless crunches won’t shrink belly fat (and what really will).
Meal frequency secrets—why six small meals a day might make you hungrier (and how fewer, satisfying meals can actually help you lose weight).
The exercise trap—why punishing yourself in the gym backfires, and how simple daily movement can burn more calories with less effort.
Instead of relying on restriction and willpower, Max shows you how to create sustainable fat loss habits that work in real life—things like prioritizing protein, cutting mindless snacking, getting better sleep, and moving your body in enjoyable ways. The key isn’t doing more or working harder; it’s about building small, consistent habits that add up to long-term success.
If you’ve been stuck in the yo-yo dieting cycle for years—or even decades—this episode will give you hope that there’s a better way forward. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods, dread social events, or punish yourself to reach your goals. You can lose weight and keep it off while still enjoying your life.
