EP 2 of The Change Room – 36 min

All-or-nothing dieting works… until life isn’t perfect. Luke unpacks why “100% or zero” torpedoes progress, how his own post-show rebound nearly wrecked him, and lays out a three-tier nutrition tool-belt that keeps fat-loss humming- even on hospital weeks, travel days, or chaos mode.
