You’ve lost weight before.

Maybe you’ve even hit your goal weight before.

Then life got hard, the diet became harder to maintain, and eventually the weight came back.

So you tried something else.

Calorie counting. Keto. Low fat. Cutting out certain foods. Intermittent fasting. Eating one meal a day.

And maybe some of those diets actually worked.

Until they didn’t.

That was Nick’s experience for years. He lost significant amounts of weight over and over again, only to eventually find himself back in the same cycle.

Because losing weight was never the part he needed help with.

Keeping it off was.

In this episode, Nick walks through the different diets he tried, what he learned from each one, and the lessons that eventually led to his Last Day One on April 29, 2019 and the creation of the Common Sense Diet.

In this episode:

❓ Why a diet can help you lose weight without teaching you how to keep it off ❓ What Nick learned from calorie counting, keto, low fat, fasting, and other diets ❓ Why reaching your goal weight doesn’t end the struggle with food ❓ How an all-or-nothing approach keeps you trapped in the lose-and-regain cycle ❓ Why sustainable weight loss requires changing more than what you eat ❓ How Go-To Meals became a core part of the Common Sense Diet ❓ The 10 rules Nick developed after years of losing and regaining weight ❓ Why learning to feel your emotions instead of feeding them matters ❓ How to make room for celebratory foods and “bullshit food” in moderation ❓ What it actually takes to become someone who keeps the weight off

If you’ve spent years losing weight, gaining it back, and wondering why nothing seems to stick…This episode is for you.

You think loose skin is something to be ashamed of. You believe keeping the weight off means dieting forever. You assume cravings, food noise, calorie counting, and the fear of gaining weight back are just things you'll have to live with. But what if none of that has to be true? For years, Nick believed these same things. He spent eight years losing and regaining the same weight, following diets, obsessing over food, and wondering why he could never make his results last. Then he started changing the way he thought. In this episode, Nick breaks down 12 beliefs that kept him trapped in the cycle of losing and regaining weight, and the mindset shifts that helped him lose 110 pounds and keep it off for over seven years. From learning to see loose skin as a trophy instead of an insecurity to understanding why confidence can't wait until you reach your goal, Nick shares what it really means to move from a "fat mind" to a healthy mind. Because sustainable weight loss isn't just about eating fewer calories, following a stricter diet, or finding the motivation to keep going. It's about changing your relationship with food, your body, and yourself. In this episode: ❓ How can you stop seeing loose skin as something to be ashamed of? ❓ Do you really need a maintenance plan to keep the weight off? ❓ Why is understanding your emotions just as important as understanding calories? ❓ How can weight loss content actually keep you stuck in the dieting cycle? ❓ Why does true confidence need to come before losing weight? ❓ How can you overcome food noise and cravings without relying on willpower forever? ❓ Why shouldn't weight loss plateaus determine your motivation? ❓ What if your struggles with weight could become a roadmap to personal growth? If you've spent years losing weight only to gain it back, believing that you'll always have to fight cravings, count calories, or worry about the number on the scale, this episode will challenge the way you think about weight loss. You don't have to spend the rest of your life fighting the same battles. You can build a life where healthy habits feel natural, food no longer controls your decisions, and keeping the weight off doesn't require constant effort. Because the goal isn't just to lose 110 pounds, fit into smaller clothes, or finally see a certain number on the scale. It's to become someone who no longer lives in fear of gaining it all back.
