This episode has one of the most controversial opening lines Laura has ever recorded: working out is the worst way to lose weight.
She meant it. And she's going to prove it.
In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Laura breaks down exactly why tying exercise to weight loss is the very thing that keeps so many women stuck — and what to do instead. This is not an anti-exercise episode. It's a pro-freedom episode.
In this episode:
Why working out can make you hungrier and trigger the over-restriction cycle
How exercise makes weight loss too complicated and leads to throwing in the towel
What moral licensing is and why working out makes it so much worse
Why the thought "I have to work out to lose weight" might be the exact thing blocking your progress
What happens to your weight loss when you get injured — and why it's not about the injury
Why unhinging exercise from weight loss is the most liberating thing you can do
How movement actually CAN help with weight loss — just not through calories in, calories out
The cortisol-insulin connection and why stress management through movement matters
What it looks like when exercise just gets to be for you
