59. How to Lose Weight as You Eat Your Donuts - Taking the Confusion Out of Nutrition and Weight Loss


Listen Later

What if I told you today that you can eat whatever you want and still get to lose weight? But that’s impossible you say…I understand that after years and years of jumping from one diet to the next, it can be hard to believe that you can eat carbs and lose weight. But you see, it’s all about healing your relationship with food and shifting your mindset. Are you ready? 

 

In this episode of Girls Gone Healthy, I speak with Rachel Freiman, an international coach, and a bestselling author. She teaches women how to lose weight while they’re still eating donuts. 

 

Rachel believes that it is the small baby steps that make the difference when committed to and without expecting perfection. Listen in to learn how to shift your mindset today and start showing up for yourself to make the change you need. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Understanding why nutrition should be taught as a skill that can be built on. 
  • Why your failure in healthy habits isn’t your fault but what you have been conditioned to. 
  • How to heal your relationship with food and trickle it down to your kids.  
  • Make the mind shift and the baby steps with your health and fitness instead of going all in at once.  
  • How to shift your mind with your health and fitness without expecting perfection.  
    • Stop thinking that taking care of yourself is selfish and start showing up for yourself.
