## Resource

Your brain is designed to regain weight you’ve lost. It is not a failure on your part—it is literally how your brain is wired. But it turns out, there are ways to outsmart it. This is the missing piece of weight loss that no one is talking about. In this episode, we get into why so many people struggle with losing weight and keeping it off longterm. The good news is, once you understand the science at play, there are tools you can use to finally break free, to rewire your brain so that you don’t need to white knuckle your way through life, and you can get the results you want and FEEL the way you want. My expert guest is Susan Peirce Thompson, a neuroscientist, professor, best-selling author, and the founder of Bright Line Eating. Wherever you’re starting, whatever you’re dealing with, this episode is going to give you hope and new information you won’t hear anywhere else. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • Why your brain is so resistant to losing weight and exactly what you can do about it • Why so many people regain weight after going off GLP-1s (and what you can do differently if you want to maintain your weight loss) • How to break through weight loss plateaus • The reason you get cravings and how to make them stop • 5 science backed ways to increase your willpower • Why you might want to STOP exercising if you want to lose weight Check out the previous episode of The Liz Moody Podcast discussed today: This Celeb-Beloved Therapy Offers A Radical New Way To Heal With Dr. Richard Schwartz Check out the resources mentioned in today’s episode: • https://www.foodaddictionquiz.com • https://www.jointhemaintenancemovement.com For more from Susan Peirce Thompson, Ph.D.: • Website: https://www.susanpeircethompson.com/ • Book, Maintain: https://www.jointhemaintenancemovement.com/#Order…
