129. What Should I Do When…(Weight Loss Edition)?

Raise your hand if you’ve ever taken to social media to get advice and it felt like the floodgates opened and you were inundated with responses.

Go on, raise your hand, I’m raising mine too. I think we’ve all been there.

Asking questions on social media can be a bit of a double edged sword, though.

Sure you might get some legitimate advice from people who know what they’re talking about, but you’re also going to get a lot of advice from less than qualified (albeit well-meaning) people.

I see questions about weight loss so often and although we want there to be black-and-white answer, the truth is, it depends.

In today’s episode of The Live Diet-Free Podcast, I’m giving you four questions to ask yourself to make decisions for yourself based on your individual circumstances and not the loud opinions of people on the internet.
