In this episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of chatting with Donna Jackson for the Coaching with Integrity Podcast.
In this episode, we're talking about one of the most misunderstood clients in the fitness industry: the chronic yo-yo dieter. The person who knows exactly what to do, has done it before, and somehow ends up back at square one. Again.
We dig into why labelling these clients as lacking discipline is not only wrong — it's actively making things worse. Years of dieting leave a mark, not just physically but psychologically, and coaching them the same way you'd coach a first-timer is a recipe for another rebound.
We cover:
Why adherence failure is a coaching problem, not a client problem
The emotional and behavioural patterns that keep chronic dieters stuck
What the first 30 days with these clients should actually look like
The dietary approaches most likely to backfire — and what to do instead
Why maintenance is a skill set coaches need to actively teach
How to build client autonomy so they don't need you forever
If you want help breaking away from yo-yo dieting
