Ever wondered why most diets lead to short-term weight loss but long-term frustration? In this episode, we unpack the truth behind why so many diets fail and why regaining weight is more common than you think.  We were inspired by a recent post in a Facebook moms group of a mom asking for weight loss tips - and countless other moms shared their struggles with the cycle of losing weight and gaining it back.
