We know how frustrating it is to do everything “right” on Weight Watchers—sticking to your points, choosing zero-point foods—only to step on the scale and see zero progress. If you’ve been caught in the cycle of losing a few pounds, gaining it back, and wondering what you’re doing wrong, you’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why Weight Watchers seems to work at first… then stops. We’ll uncover the hidden hormonal reasons your body is resisting weight loss, why zero-point foods aren’t really “free,” and how following outdated advice could be making your insulin levels—and your weight—go up.

If you’ve been blaming yourself and thinking you just need to try harder, this conversation will shift your perspective. We’ll explain the real science behind sustainable weight loss, especially after 50, and why continuing to rely on point systems could leave you stuck and discouraged for years to come.

Listen in to finally understand why what worked before isn’t working now—and what you can do to break the cycle for good.
