Ever wonder why your weight loss journey isn't moving as fast as you'd like? Perhaps those innocent nibbles—those subtle bites, licks, and tastes (BLTs)—are silently plotting against your progress. Join me on "Shut Up and Choose" as I recount a college BLT eating contest that hilariously parallels how these unnoticed calories can mess with your goals. Through a relatable client story, I'll spotlight how the unassuming act of sampling your kid's mac and cheese or sneaking a taste of cookie dough can sneakily pile on calories, stalling your weight loss efforts. By recognizing these sneaky saboteurs, we can begin to reclaim control over our eating habits.
On this journey to mindful eating, we’ll equip you with practical strategies to track those BLTs and maintain a calorie deficit, the scientifically proven path to shedding pounds. You'll learn why sitting down with your meals and keeping tempting treats out of reach are more than just good manners—they're essential tactics. We'll also challenge popular dieting myths, reaffirming that maintaining a calorie deficit remains king, debunking the allure of quick fixes like intermittent fasting. So, get ready to cut through the noise and make meaningful strides toward a healthier lifestyle.
Stop Dieting. Start Choosing.
I’m Jonathan Ressler, Transformation Guide and author of Shut Up and Choose. I lost 140 pounds and built a movement the diet industry hopes you never find. No starvation. No obsession. No gym marathons. Real transformation starts when you stop outsourcing discipline and start leading yourself.
The truth is simple: weight loss isn’t about willpower—it’s about integrity. Every time you keep a promise to yourself, you rebuild confidence. Every smart choice strengthens self-trust. That’s the foundation of lasting change. My mission is to help busy, high-performing people take back control of their health, energy, and mindset—without diets, shots, or shame.
Each episode of the Shut Up and Choose Podcast cuts through the noise with real talk, proven strategies, and small, smart steps that actually last. No gimmicks. No hype. Just truth that works in real life.
