About This Podcast

Dear Fat, You Don’t Own Me is straight-talk, no-hype, coaching-style guidance for people tired of cravings, excuses, and the inner voice that talks them out of progress. I’m Tony Dean—21 years coaching clients in nearly every U.S. state and 6 countries. Episodes cover mindset, hunger, emotional eating, habits, tracking, holidays, and real-life obstacles—with practical tools and clear next steps you can use the same day. If my style clicks, you’ll get a clear feel for what it’s like being coached in my accountability-based FAST Diet program.
