If you’ve ever felt like your progress isn’t good enough just because the scale isn’t moving, this episode is for you.

We cover:

• Why the obsession with weight loss holds women back

• What diet culture got wrong about the scale

• How to reframe your goals beyond just a number

From 1200-calorie diets to detox teas and “clean eating” rules — diet culture had us believing that shrinking ourselves was the path to health, happiness, and confidence. In this episode of Gym Girls Unfiltered, we’re breaking down the toxic fitness advice we once followed, the damage it did to our bodies and mindset, and what actually helped us heal.

We share our personal stories around restriction, binge cycles, food guilt, and how lifting, fueling, and unlearning all the noise helped us finally feel strong and in control again.

Whether you’re still trying to “be good” with your food or just starting to realize something feels off — this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and ready to take your power back.

✨ Topics we cover:

• The obsession with 1200-calorie plans and detoxes
• How diet culture conditioned women to fear food
• Why restriction doesn’t work (and what does)
• How we started fueling our bodies and building strength
• What food freedom actually feels like

🧠 Follow + rate if this hit home — and share it with the girl who needs to hear it.
