Why We Overeat with Maggie Sterling
Want to lose weight without constantly fighting yourself? "Why We Overeat" takes a different approach to sustainable weight loss by uncovering the real reasons behind your eating habits. Each week, Maggie and Ryan share practical strategies to stop overeating, end emotional eating, and break free from the diet-binge cycle. Unlike traditional weight loss podcasts, we focus on the "why" behind your food choices and how your brain influences eating behaviors. Through candid conversations you'll discover how to create lasting change without restrictive diets or complicated food rules. Whether you struggle with stress eating, late-night snacking, or portion control, this podcast helps you understand your relationship with food and build sustainable habits that actually last. Join us to learn why addressing the root causes of overeating is the key to achieving your weight loss goals. Learn more at www.vibewithmaggie.com
