Disrupting Obesity
The Disrupting Obesity podcast is for anyone who’s looking to lose an extreme amount of weight and change their relationship with food so they can keep the pounds off. If you’re tired of feeling judged for being fat, of excluding yourself or being left out, and using food to comfort, reward, and cope with your emotions and the day to day, don’t waste time beating yourself up. You absolutely have what it takes to lose a significant amount of weight naturally in a way that you can sustain and that will ensure you keep the weight off too.
Hosted by Charlotte Skanes, a weight loss coach who lost and is keeping off over two hundred pounds, this show will give you the strategies and mindset you need to drop the weight. It’s going to encourage you and motivate you so that you can build the confidence and self-belief to find the healthiest version of yourself. It’s not about the food. It’s about your relationship with food. Once you start to change that relationship you can start disrupting obesity.

160 ~ Weight Loss Wednesday Q&A XXIII
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Welcome back to Weight Loss Wednesday. In episode 160, I’m answering your questions about consistency with accountability, calorie perspective, low TDEE fears, sweeteners, managing sweets and chips as a diabetic, and flavour drops for water. This episode is practical, direct, and a reminder that weight loss works best when you build it in a way that actually fits your real life.
What I cover in this episode:
• Why accountability starts with awareness and acknowledgement, not willpower
• The 3A Way framework and how skipping the middle step sabotages consistency
• Why you cannot successfully hold yourself accountable to something you refuse to fully admit is happening
• How to make accountability easier
• Why consistency is incremental and does not require perfection
• Why calories are relative
• How your starting point changes what “high” or “low” calorie really means
• Concerns about having a low TDEE and fearing extremely low maintenance calories at goal weight
• The difference between deficit calories and maintenance calories
• Why setting your app to lose two pounds per week may be cutting your calories too aggressively
• How to use a TDEE calculator to project realistic maintenance numbers
• My honest thoughts on sweeteners and why I consider them a useful tool
• The reality behind the aspartame fear headlines
• How I manage sweets and chips as a diabetic without eliminating them
• Why I don’t eat from the bag and how being selective helps control both calories and blood sugar
• My take on water flavour drops and why they are not “cheating”
This episode is a reminder that accountability is built, not flipped on like a switch, that calories are contextual, that tools are meant to be used and that consistency is not about being perfect, it is about continuing.
If you have a question you’d like answered on a future Weight Loss Wednesday, please send it in. I love hearing from you.
