Listen In 

Summary

Both research and my own experience shows, this is by far the MOST effective strategy for long term weight loss. 

How can it help with weight loss?

  1. When you set small, manageable goals, you experience the dopamine rush of quick wins. Leading to greater motivation to keep going instead of the discouragement that...

No matter what I do I can't lose weight.

Why am I such a failure?

My body hates me.

I hate my body. 

This is impossible. 

I suck.

Summary

A few weeks ago, my friend Doug reached out to me wondering why he actually got more shredded while eating more carbs during quarantine.

This may sound totally counterintuitive, especially in the age of keto where 'experts' would have you believe that low carb is the best way to go if your primary goal is weight loss. 

But as per usual, the weight loss industry loves highlighting the quick fix side of these trends, while ignoring the long term implications on your health and weight...

Episode 51: Sugar Cravings Suck! Here are 3 Steps to Conquer Them.

May 19, 2020

Listen In  

Summary

Sugar. It can be such a source of joy, comfort, and celebration, while it can just as easily transform into an uncontrollable source of weight gain, shame spirals, and some rough bouts of acne and bloating (I know... hot). 

And just like you, I've been there, walking that line between the good, the bad, and the ugly side of sugar.

Summary

Last week, we talked all about what mental shifts you need to make to get off the yoyo diet train.

But if you've been on that sucker for a while and you've spent years cutting calories, cutting food groups, and increasing your workouts, chances are pretty good your metabolism is all kinds of jacked up. 

I see it all the time with new clients, they come to me saying things like, "I only eat 1200 calories per day and workout hard 7 days per week, but I can't lose an ounce."

Yup, that's extreme diets at...

Apr 21, 2020

Listen In 

Summary

We've all been told the rule of weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume. And while there is a lot more complexity  in how different food affects your body, your metabolism, your hormones, and your health (more on that in the 'eat less/move more' bonus episode after episode 33), the general premise is true. 

But for those of us who don't have the time, energy, or desire to count every morsel that touches our lips, how do we ensure we're creating that deficit?

But while we tend to preoccupy ourselves with finding motivation hacks, rarely do we take the time to figure out how we're sabotaging our motivation to begin with.
