Welcome back to Weight Loss Wednesday. In episode 160, I’m answering your questions about consistency with accountability, calorie perspective, low TDEE fears, sweeteners, managing sweets and chips as a diabetic, and flavour drops for water. This episode is practical, direct, and a reminder that weight loss works best when you build it in a way that actually fits your real life.
What I cover in this episode:
• Why accountability starts with awareness and acknowledgement, not willpower
• The 3A Way framework and how skipping the middle step sabotages consistency
• Why you cannot successfully hold yourself accountable to something you refuse to fully admit is happening
• How to make accountability easier
• Why consistency is incremental and does not require perfection
• Why calories are relative
• How your starting point changes what “high” or “low” calorie really means
• Concerns about having a low TDEE and fearing extremely low maintenance calories at goal weight
• The difference between deficit calories and maintenance calories
• Why setting your app to lose two pounds per week may be cutting your calories too aggressively
• How to use a TDEE calculator to project realistic maintenance numbers
• My honest thoughts on sweeteners and why I consider them a useful tool
• The reality behind the aspartame fear headlines
• How I manage sweets and chips as a diabetic without eliminating them
• Why I don’t eat from the bag and how being selective helps control both calories and blood sugar
• My take on water flavour drops and why they are not “cheating”
This episode is a reminder that accountability is built, not flipped on like a switch, that calories are contextual, that tools are meant to be used and that consistency is not about being perfect, it is about continuing.
