Slow Is Fast: Why Chasing Quick Results Keeps You Stuck

You’ve been taught to white-knuckle it for 12 weeks, step on the scale, and pray. Hard pass.

In this episode I make the counterintuitive case that slow, easy, sustainable fat loss is actually the fastest way to get and keep (!) the body changes you want.

We’ll unhook from the weekly weigh-in panic, ditch the “kickstart” chaos, and reorient around a boring-on-purpose process that slides into your real life and compounds over seasons.

I’ll walk you through how to detach from outcome (without giving up your goals). Why adherence, not heroics, wins. And how to build an imperceptible energy deficit by eating satisfying meals, sleeping like you mean it, and refusing to make food your full-time job.

Expect mindset rewires, practical guardrails, and a few spicy rants about scales, macros, and “just do another Whole30.”

If you’re tired of starting over, this is the episode that helps you quit quitting.

• The paradox: why slow = fast (and fast usually backfires)

• How obsessing over results nukes adherence and stalls progress

• A better scoreboard than the bathroom scale

• The case for seasons, not weeks, and what “on the path” looks like day-to-day

• How to create a small, comfortable, imperceptible calorie deficit without tracking

• Why “quick wins” are water weight (useful for morale, not a plan)

• The only real “hack”: patience (and how to train it)
