Struggling to lose weight even though you’re “eating healthy”? Feeling stuck, frustrated, or confused about why the scale won’t budge? In this episode of Rooted Radiance, we’re breaking down the 5 biggest weight loss mistakes women make and what to do instead so you can finally see sustainable results.

As a Registered Dietitian, I’ve seen these patterns over and over again: eating healthy but not eating in a deficit, pushing calories too low, under‑eating protein, relying only on cardio, and cutting out foods you love. These mistakes don’t mean you’re doing anything “wrong”, they simply mean you’ve never been taught how weight loss actually works.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why “healthy eating” doesn’t always equal weight loss

• How chronic calorie restriction slows your metabolism

• The protein targets that support hunger, muscle, and fat loss

• Why strength training is essential for body composition

• How allowing indulgent foods helps you stay consistent long‑term

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start making progress with clarity and confidence, this episode will give you the tools and understanding you need.
