Unlocking the Secret to Consistent Weight Loss: The Missing Ingredient

Published: May 12, 2020 · Modified: May 14, 2025 by Megan

Are you struggling with consistent weight loss? Struggling to maintain consistency with your diet or fitness routine? You're not alone.

In this Dish On Ditching Diets podcast episode, I uncover the often-overlooked factor that could be sabotaging your efforts—and it's not what you think.

If you are a midlife woman who has been struggling with losing weight and maintaining weight loss, then it's time to discover the real key to achieving consistency with your weight loss. Consistency is not about willpower either!

The Real Reason Consistency Feels Impossible

Consistency is the biggest complaint I hear as a midlife weight loss coach. When my client come to me for help losing weight, they express their frustration of why they either can't stay consistent long enough to see results or they can't maintain their weight loss and gain the weight back.

Consistent weight loss is what every midlife woman wants, but why is it so hard to stay consistent with your diet, program or nutrition plan?

How Emotional Triggers Undermine Your Efforts

I've discovered working with women that there's a secret ingredient to losing weight that no one talks about, and it has nothing to do with what you eat or how you exercise.

The cure to achieving consistent weight loss is your mindset. Fixing all or nothing thinking, perfectionism, bad relationship with food, doing unsustainable diets, being stuck in a diet mindset, negative self-talk, poor emotional regulation, self-judgment, a poor self image, restricting food to lose weight too much, lack of belief in one self and personal identity.

I never imagined as a nutritionist I would be working so little with my weight loss clients on food, but I have been working with clients since 2014 and I repeatedly see these same issues.

Practical Steps to Build Sustainable Habits To Achieve Consistency with Weight Loss

I help my clients build consistent habits they can do until they are 85+ years old. Not only support their weight loss goals, but help them age gracefully and stay healthy as they age. I always say, you need to build the foundation of your house before you can move into your house.

Taking the time upfront to build sustainable habits and learning to handle the emotional triggers that undermine your weight loss efforts will ensure fat loss consistency and consistency with maintaining your fat loss long-term.

In this Dish On Ditching Diets Secret To Consistency in Weight Loss podcast episode, you'll hear:

  • The cure to consistency that no one talks about
  • The surprising missing ingredient in diet and weight loss programs
  • Why getting to the root cause of eating habits is key to lasting weight loss, not a meal plan or following a rigid diet
