Get your free custom nutrition plan (exclusive to podcast listeners) when you join Wits & Weights Physique University for just $27/month -- There was a day when everything we thought we knew about losing weight got turned upside down. For decades, the advice was simple: eat less, move more. But then scientists started asking why weight loss always seemed to get harder over time, and what they discovered changed everything. This landmark Episode 350 explores the paradigm shift that revolutionized our understanding of metabolism, fat loss, and why 95% of people regain lost weight. Main Takeaways: Your body doesn't just passively lose weight, it actively fights back by slowing metabolism and increasing hunger within 2-3 weeks of dieting The shift from moral food judgments to flexible, data-driven nutrition revolutionized sustainable fat loss Three game-changing strategies emerged: macro tracking as a foundation, working with (not against) metabolic adaptation, and strength training as metabolic insurance This scientific revolution changed how we view our bodies, from broken machines needing punishment to intelligent adaptive systems responding to our lifestyle signals Episode Mentioned: Fat Loss vs. Weight Loss Timestamps: 0:01 - The day everything changed about weight loss 4:30 - Why the "eat less, move more" approach failed 8:47 - How your body fights back: the hormone cascade 10:47 - The rise of flexible dieting and evidence-based coaching 12:29 - Key people who changed the game 14:37 - From food restriction to food awareness 19:35 - 3 game-changing strategies from the research Support the show 🎓 Lose fat for good in Physique University, now just $27/mo ( tap here and I’ll create a FREE custom nutrition plan when you join ) 👥 Join our Facebook community for Q&As & support 👋 Ask a question or find me on Instagram 📱 Try MacroFactor 2 weeks free with code WITSANDWEIGHTS (my favorite nutrition app)…

Contact Annmarie 🛠️ In this episode of Words, Wobbles and Wisdom , Annmarie takes you on a journey from a flat-pack furniture disaster to a deeper reflection on life, mistakes, and the importance of following the instructions of the Maker. After realising she’d built half a clothes horse upside down (despite insisting she didn’t need the manual), Annmarie draws a brilliant parallel between 'Swedish furniture instruction' chaos and the spiritual messes we sometimes make. With wit, warmth, and honesty, she shares how the Bible offers more than rules. It's a life-giving guide, full of grace and second chances. Expect a mix of storytelling, spiritual encouragement, and a gentle reminder that it’s never too late to rebuild. Whether you’re mid-assembly in life or still trying to figure out what that one leftover screw is for, you’re not alone. 📖 Featuring verses from Psalms & Proverbs, and a heartfelt invitation to join the 5-Day Affirmation Challenge. 🐶 Note from Annmarie: Sorry for the random dog barking in the background.

Contact Annmarie In this episode of Words, Wobbles, and Wisdom , Annmarie shares an unforgettable true story from her time at Dublin Airport. What was supposed to be a simple flight home turned into a comedy of errors, complete with a security hold-up over a hair clip, a dramatic fall in the terminal, and an unexpected ride in a “pope mobile.” But amidst the chaos and embarrassment, Annmarie reflects on the deeper lessons she learned from that moment: how easily we can be cruel to ourselves, how life’s unexpected mishaps often teach us the most, and why self-compassion is so crucial. This hilarious yet humbling experience sparked the creation of her 5-Day Affirmation Challenge , designed to help you reframe negative self-talk and embrace a kinder view of yourself. If you’ve ever felt too hard on yourself, struggled with self-image, or simply need a reminder that you're not alone in your moments of embarrassment, this episode is for you.

With her usual mix of humour and heartfelt reflection, she talks about feeling stuck, summer photos that don’t help, and the Facebook memories that used to inspire — but now feel like they’re having a laugh at her expense. Rather than disappear for “a little break” like last time (which lasted 18 months), Annmarie shares her current struggles and how she’s learning to show up anyway — even when the motivation’s gone missing. She also reflects on a quote from Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken — a book that’s made a few appearances on the podcast — and how it landed differently this time. It’s a warm and relatable episode for anyone who’s had a weight wobble and needed a bit of encouragement to keep going.
