Why the "just listen to your body" weight loss advice is keeping you stuck

“The Worst Weight Loss Advice I Ever Received (And What You Should Do Instead)”

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down a piece of advice that so many women are given… advice that sounds empowering on the surface, but actually keeps you stuck, overwhelmed, and nowhere closer to feeling healthy and confident in your body.

That advice?

“Just listen to your body.”

Now… I love this concept. It can be powerful. But if you’ve spent years dieting, skipping meals, overeating at night, ignoring your hunger, or feeling completely disconnected from your body…

Then “just listen to your body” is NOT helpful — and honestly, it can make things worse.

This episode comes straight from my personal experience (and many conversations with clients). I’ll walk you through why this advice backfires for so many high-achieving women, and what you actually need to rebuild before intuitive eating becomes helpful and natural.

In This Episode, I Cover:

1. Why “just listen to your body” keeps you stuck

If you’ve ignored hunger cues for years, eaten on autopilot, binged at night, or relied on willpower…

Your body’s signals are going to feel confusing, unreliable, or non-existent.

2. The missing step before you can “listen to your body”

Before intuition comes awareness + structure.

3. How to rebuild trust with your body

Start with structure, build awareness, and then your body will start communicating clearly again … without willpower, without restriction, and without starting over every Monday.
