Shut The F*ck Up. You Chose This!

Shut Up And Choose - STOP DIETING. START CHOOSING. ·

2026/02/18

Send a text Ever feel like your progress keeps getting hijacked by stress, time, or “bad metabolism”? We go straight at the story that keeps people stuck: blame feels good, but it kills control. The truth is simple and uncomfortable—your body and your life are the receipts of your repeated choices. That’s not a verdict; it’s leverage. Once you admit choice, you unlock the ability to choose differently as soon as your next meal, your next snack, or your next decision to plan or not plan. We u...

2026/02/11

Send a text Tired of restarting every Monday and calling it a plan? We go straight at the diet noise and expose why dramatic overhauls feel powerful but fall apart the moment real life shows up. Jonathan breaks down the biology and psychology behind failure—decision fatigue, hunger spikes from aggressive cuts, and the brain’s pull toward familiar comfort when stress hits—and shows how small, boring choices become unstoppable when they repeat. We trade ego and timelines for proof and identity...

Send us a text The fork never moved by itself. We go straight at the phrases and habits that make overeating feel inevitable and show why ownership—not motivation, not a calmer life—changes your body fastest. If “I had no choice” has been your script, this conversation hands you better lines and the structure to back them up. We break down five villains that keep weight glued to your frame: emotional permission eating, convenience disguised as necessity, health-halo marketing that lowers you...

Send us a text Resolutions feel powerful because they sound serious, but they cost nothing—and that’s the problem. I break down why January didn’t fail you, why dates don’t act, and how outcomes are nothing more than receipts for choices made under pressure. If you’ve been stuck in the start-stop cycle—big promises, clean slates, then quiet retreats when life gets loud—this straight talk shows where the loop begins and exactly how to get out of it. We go right at the myths that keep you comf...

Why Your Healthy Foods Are Keeping You Fat

Shut Up And Choose - STOP DIETING. START CHOOSING. ·

2026/01/21

Send us a text Tired of doing “everything right” and seeing nothing change? Let’s rip the mask off fake healthy foods and show how the health halo keeps your calories high and your progress flat. We dig into why granola, smoothies, protein bars, acai bowls, and organic snacks feel responsible yet act like junk, and how slick labels trick your identity while bypassing the only metric that matters for fat loss: intake. I share how clean packaging and buzzwords—natural, plant-based, superfood, ...

The Excuse You Keep Repeating That’s Keeping You Fat

Shut Up And Choose - STOP DIETING. START CHOOSING. ·

2026/01/14

Send us a text Stop giving your excuses a microphone. We dig into the real reason weight stays stuck and show how a single language shift pulls you out of the loop: replace every “I can’t” with “I choose,” then back it with simple structures that make action automatic. No diets. No gym contract. No motivation theater. Just ownership, clarity, and boring wins that compound. We start by tearing down the most common cover stories—no time, too stressed, waiting for life to calm down—and reveal h...

8 Bullshit Diet Scams To Dodge In 2026

2026/01/07

Send us a text New year, same traps—just shinier packaging. We kick off 2026 by dragging eight hot trends that promise control and deliver collapse: fasting worship 2.0, protein desserts in wellness costumes, AI diet plans that outsource your agency, hormone fixes that sell panic, punishment challenges that build shame, gut reset kits masquerading as science, magic food lists that ignore behavior, and mindful eating theater that turns excuses into rituals. The thread through all of them is si...

If Diets Worked, You'd Be Done By Now

2025/12/31

Send us a text The calendar doesn’t change your body—your choices do. We dive straight into the uncomfortable truth the diet industry won’t touch: rigid rules feel like discipline until real life shows up. Then they snap, and you blame yourself. We break that cycle and show you how to build control that actually survives stress, travel, late nights, holidays, and all the messy parts of a real schedule. I lay out why diets fail by design and why choosing—moment-to-moment ownership of your nex...

2025/12/24

Send us a text Stop pretending the last week of December doesn’t count. We cut through the holiday fog and the “January will fix me” myth to show how small, steady choices right now create a January that feels possible instead of punishing. No gimmicks. No miracle plans. Just blunt truth and five practical strategies you can carry into the new year without burning out by the second week. We start by dismantling the fake fresh start and the idea that seven chaotic days are invisible to your b...

2025/12/17

Send us a text The fastest way to change your body is to stop acting like a bystander in your own life. Today we pull the curtain on the stories that keep people stuck—why “I barely eat,” “I’m just big and happy,” and “this plan failed me” feel comforting, yet block real progress. I share why I named the book and show “Shut Up and Choose,” how dropping 140 pounds came from decisions that fit my messy, real schedule, and why anyone can build the same control without diets, pills, or a gym memb...

2025/12/10

Send us a text Ever notice how the calendar gets credit for changes your choices never made? We pull apart the January myth and show why momentum—not a date—creates real, lasting weight loss for people with jobs, families, and zero interest in living at the gym. December doesn’t doom you; it reveals you. Parties, travel, stress, and a kitchen full of “just because it’s there” snacks are not traps set by fate. They’re moments to practice ownership. We break down the predictable loop that dera...

Send us a text Ready for a hard reset on everything you’ve been told about weight loss? Jonathan pulls no punches as he explains why you don’t fail diets—diets fail you—and how the cycle of rigidity, restriction, and unreality keeps you stuck in guilt instead of building real momentum. Rather than hand you another plan, he shows you how to take back the steering wheel and create choices that actually fit your life. We dig into the hidden cost of dieting: the slow erosion of self-trust. If ev...

I lost 140 pounds and built a movement the diet industry hopes you never find. No starvation. No obsession. No gym marathons.

2025/11/19

Send us a text Shock value makes great TV, but it makes terrible health. We dig into the Netflix documentary on The Biggest Loser and trace the fallout of extreme weight loss: starvation-level calories, dehydration before weigh-ins, and punishing workouts that tanked metabolism and broke trust. The headline the show never printed is simple: you can’t out-train bad choices, and you can’t bully biology. When intensity replaces consistency, the body fights back with slower burn, louder hunger, a...

Send us a text The extra 25 pounds you call “no big deal” might be costing you far more than you realize. We get brutally honest about how weight can quietly shrink your world—tugging at your confidence, narrowing your relationships, draining your energy, and numbing your joy—long before it shows up on a medical bill. No scare tactics, no gimmicks, just a clear path out: one small, smart choice at a time that rebuilds integrity and self-trust. We share the mindset shift that changed everythi...

We pull back the curtain on the weight loss industry’s subscription model, from big-box pharmacy counters to glossy “doctor-approved” plans, and show how the business thrives on keeping you almost there. No miracle shot, cleanse, or app can sell you the only tool that actually creates lasting change: ownership. I share how desperation once had me chasing fixes and how everything...

The Fat Kid’s Survival Guide to Halloween Candy

Send us a text Candy doesn’t control you—rigid rules do. We break the holiday panic cycle and show how Halloween can prove you’re in charge by trading restriction for intention. Jonathan unpacks why willpower collapses under real-life stress and how a choice-based mindset lets you enjoy the candy without the guilt, the spiral, or the Monday reset. This is about presence over perfection, awareness over autopilot, and ownership over all-or-nothing thinking. We dig into the core shift from obey...

Send us a text A hospital wristband, a bag of orange pill bottles, and a photo so jarring it broke years of denial—this is the moment the story turns. I walked to the edge of the “easy way” with bariatric surgery and GLP-1 drugs and realized every shortcut still demanded the same hard truth: I had to choose. Not once, not perfectly, but daily, in boring, unglamorous ways that rebuild trust from the ground up. I share how I canceled surgery twice, cleared just enough space in the fridge to br...

We break apart the biggest myth of all, that “calories don’t matter,” and rebuild from first principles: energy balance, metabolic adaptation, and small, smart choices that actually stick.

Send us a text Some truths sting because they pull the mask off. The $70B diet machine thrives on your “failure,” selling restriction and then blaming your willpower when real life shreds the rules. We take a flamethrower to that narrative and replace it with something durable: design over discipline. When your environment and systems do the heavy lifting, healthy choices stop being a daily fight and start becoming your default. We walk through the psychology of decision fatigue and why busy...
