This isn’t going to be your typical ‘eat less and exercise more’ episode about weight loss because I think we’re all sick of hearing this advice.

Today Jess chats about why traditional weight loss advice falls short and can even be counterproductive.

There is no TikTok or Reel of the ‘ideal’ workout routine for weight loss because it’s not taking into account who YOU are.

You can’t copy an influencer's "what I eat in a day" and expect to look like them because nowhere in there is anything about your life, your history, and what's going to work for you.

You are unique, so you can’t fit yourself into a box and assume that what works for one person will work for you.
