Summary

In today’s episode of Bite Back with Abbey Sharp, we’re cutting through the noise of “diet season” and calling out the biggest weight loss mistakes that keep people stuck in cycles of restriction, burnout, and regain. I’m joined by fellow dietitian Jackie Kirschen, host of Lose Weight Mindfully, whose approach to sustainable weight loss closely mirrors my own. Together, we break down why strict calorie counting, crash dieting, and relying on willpower alone often backfire, and what the science actually says about metabolism, hunger hormones, emotional eating, and long-term success. We also share realistic, evidence-based strategies you can start using today that support weight loss without obsession, deprivation, or food fear. If you’re navigating weight goals this year and want a more compassionate, effective approach, this episode is for you.
