Description

In this episode of the Pound of Cure Weight Loss Podcast, Dr. Matthew Weiner and registered dietitian Zoë answer listener questions covering some of the most common — and most misunderstood — challenges in the weight loss journey.

They break down how to set a realistic goal weight based on body composition, not BMI, and explore why nutrition quality matters more than calorie counting. You’ll also learn what causes sugar cravings, how to manage hunger after bariatric surgery, and why ultra-processed foods are designed to keep you overeating.

Whether you’re using GLP-1 medications, recovering from bariatric surgery, or trying to lose weight without extreme restriction, this episode gives you practical strategies grounded in real science — not diet culture myths.
