## Resource

For decades, Jenny Hicks felt like she was always on a diet. Like many people, she tried everything—low carb plans, restrictive programs, packaged diet foods, and extreme calorie cuts. The weight would come off for a while, but it always came back. After years of repeating the same cycle, Jenny wanted something different. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Jenny about how she finally broke the diet cycle. Working with a Barbell Logic nutrition coach, she learned how to stop dieting start eating real food, prioritize protein, and build habits that actually fit into everyday life. The results were significant. Jenny lost 30 pounds, kept it off, and built real strength along the way—including a 200-pound deadlift. Instead of chasing rapid weight loss, she shifted toward sustainable nutrition, strength training, and consistency. The conversation explores what it looks like to move beyond decades of dieting, how small habit changes can make a big difference, and why accountability and coaching can help turn short-term progress into long-term health.
