The Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show with Ben Brown You Don’t Need More Food Rules—You Need This
Everyone wants results, but few people are empowered with tools to build the habits that get them there.
Kylie’s story is one I think a lot of people will see themselves in. She tracked every calorie, followed every diet, nailed her cardio, and still found herself stuck in the same loop—losing weight, gaining it back, feeling guilty, starting over.
In this conversation, we chat about what helped Kylie move past the yo-yo cycle of tracking, restricting, and starting over. We also unpacked the mindset shifts that allowed her to shed the guilt and make confident “adult” choices in everyday life and in the gym. Having the permission to live, enjoy the cookie, and know she was still moving forward is what finally set her free.
If that’s something you’ve been struggling to find, tune into this episode. It’s a reminder that progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about learning to trust yourself again.
