Unlock the science behind the scale’s mysterious fluctuations and discover why carbs aren’t the enemy — your body’s survival tools hold the key. If you've ever felt inflamed, puffy, or frustrated when adding carbs back into your diet, this episode is your eye-opener. Learn how glycogen and water retention influence your weight, how bodybuilders use carb-loading to boost muscle volume, and why scale jumps don’t mean fat gain.

Most women don’t realize that the scale’s ups and downs are often just water and glycogen shifting in your muscles, not actual fat loss or gain. Lou Driver breaks down the physiology in simple terms, helping you decode the science behind inflamed feelings post-carb reintroduction and how to navigate this natural bounce. You’ll discover practical strategies to reintroduce carbs slowly, avoid emotional spirals, and understand the true signs of body composition changes beyond the scale.

Get inspired to ditch the scale obsession and embrace a healthier, smarter approach to your body. If you’re tired of yo-yo dieting, confused by fluctuating weight, or want to build sustainable habits that respect your body’s survival instincts, this episode is essential listening. Arm yourself with knowledge that transforms frustration into empowerment — because understanding your physiology is the best way to get the results you want, without the unnecessary stress.

Tracking isn’t the problem.

You’re just still learning the skill.

Tracking is a skill — like cooking.

Like driving.

Like literally anything you’re now good at.

You didn’t just know how to cook.

You learnt. You watched. You tried.

You stuffed it up.

(And yes… sometimes you burnt the bolognese 😅)

Same with tracking.

Most women decide “tracking isn’t for me” after:

• a day or two

• eyeballing everything

• not weighing anything

• feeling overwhelmed

• then quitting

That’s not failure — that’s just being new.

Remember learning to drive?

White lines. Gears. Clutch. Brake.

Everything felt chaotic… until one day it didn’t.

Now you drive to the shops and don’t even remember the trip.

That’s what happens with tracking.

It becomes automated.

And then you earn intuitive eating — not before.

Tracking isn’t meant to be forever.

It’s a tool.

And like any tool, it works best when you learn how to use it properly.

This is a short, sharp episode that gets straight to the point — and you won’t want to miss number 3 that no one is talking about.
