Description

In this episode, Dr. Ali Novitsky dives deep into the often-overlooked side of weight loss: tracking progress the right way. Discover why every week won’t be a weight-loss week, and how set points, plateaus, and the power of patience play pivotal roles in achieving long-term success. Dr. Novitsky shares eye-opening insights on how to celebrate non-scale victories, why tracking muscle and fat composition beats relying solely on a traditional scale, and the crucial role of protein and sleep in weight management. Tune in to learn why the journey is just as important as the destination, and how embracing realistic expectations can transform your mindset—and results—for the better.
