95. 5 Weight Loss Myths to Ditch Now

You're doing everything "right."

You're eating less. You're moving more. You're cutting carbs. You're even breastfeeding, which is supposed to "melt the weight off," right?

Yet the scale isn't budging. Your energy is tanking. Your mood is suffering. And honestly? You're starting to feel like your body is broken.

Here's what nobody tells you: The advice you've been following isn't wrong for everyone… it's just wrong for YOU right now.

Your body isn't the same as it was before having kids. Your hormones are different. Your metabolism is different. Your needs are different. But the weight loss rules? They're still the same old "eat less, move more" nonsense that's actually working AGAINST you.

In this week's episode, Brooke breaks down:

• Why the "eat less, move more" rule backfires for moms (and what actually works)
• The real reason breastfeeding alone won't melt the weight off
• Why cutting carbs is sabotaging your mood AND your milk supply
• How strength training beats cardio for long-term results
• Why the scale is lying to you (and what to focus on instead)
• How to rebuild your metabolism instead of restricting it

The truth? Weight loss after baby doesn't have to feel like a battle. When you shift from restriction to rebuilding, everything changes, your energy, your mood & even your metabolism.
