In this episode, Ethan sits down with Paige to talk about one of the hardest parts of losing weight: keeping it off. Ethan shares the mindset shift that finally changed things for him, moving away from chasing diets and toward understanding energy balance, maintenance, and long term habits.
They talk about years of experimenting with HCG and keto, the unexpected lessons that came from challenging old beliefs about food, and why changing your body does not automatically change the way you see yourself. Ethan also opens up about identity after weight loss, self criticism, and the habits that can stay long after the scale changes.
Plus, Ethan answers a listener question about OMAD, protein intake, and how to approach fat loss while preserving muscle.
