How fibre can help your weight loss journey. If you need more help, check out my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss at rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart

Now I promised in my first episode that one of the things that I wouldn’t discuss was what to eat. Today I’m breaking that promise, because I want to talk about fibre and the role fibre has to play in assisting in your weight loss regime.

The main reason being that this has become a recent focus for my own journey. And to be honest, I’ve found it reasonably challenging. So I wanted to share my experiences with you, with the aim of you making your journey at little bit easier.

Today I'm going to discuss how denying your choices can really frustrate your weight loss journey. If you need more help, check out my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss at rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart

A few episodes ago I talked about how it was important, when considering a choice, that you ensure that you look at the whole choice. (Episode 7: The whole choice). Today I'm going to be discussing a variation of this, where you deny your choices and how this can really frustrate your weight loss journey.   

Recognising that I did have choices - and that I was actually driving my bus, rather than just being a passenger, was a real game-changer for me. Once I got this I found maintaining my weight became so much easier.

Intrigued? Stay tuned for a real eye opener on how to stop denying your choices and how this can really help your weight loss.

This is where a lot of people can go astray. Without this clarity, you are unlikely to get the results that you deserve.

Let me show you some strategies for a sustainable healthy eating plan for permanent weight loss. For more help, see my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss at rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart.

Building a healthy, sustainable eating plan that works for you - and one you choose to follow - is at the cornerstone of any successful weight loss strategy. But from my work with various clients, folk seem to struggle with exactly how to go about doing this.

The step that most people ignore is getting really clear on what they are doing now and what behaviours are taking them away from the goals; and also what behaviours are moving them towards their goals.

Once you have a clear picture of this, you can identify what it is you need to change. Without this clarity you might end up changing something that you can actually hang on to, or hanging on to something that really isn’t serving you.

Join me as we go through some techniques and strategies to help you develop a sustainable healthy eating plan that fits you and your lifestyle.

This episode introduces some techniques to maximise your willpower, vital to attaining and maintaining a healthy weight. For more help, see my free, comprehensive guide to kickstarting your weight loss at rangitoto.co.uk/kickstart.

Typically when people find out that I have lost over a 100lbs they usually comment that I must have lots of willpower or discipline. There is an underlying assumption that to change your life, you must have to constantly battle with yourself to prevent yourself from doing what you want to do.  Now, if I innately had lots of willpower, where the heck was it for the 25 years when I was morbidly obese, or where did it magically suddenly appear from? 

The reality is the amount of willpower I have has never really changed. Instead I learnt to create an environment where for the most part it simply wasn’t required. And you can do the same.

The first step is becoming aware of the times when you need willpower and when you don’t, as well as the times when your willpower typically goes completely AWOL.

Obviously we are all different, but in general we don’t need willpower when we are doing something that we want to do, and we tend to run out of willpower at the end of the day. But don’t take my word for it, the best thing to do is to monitor this for a day or two and get a real picture of what is happening with you. Then you can use this knowledge to help you make decisions that will support your goals.

Today we're focussing on creating an environment that helps you manage your willpower. Join me to learn some techniques that can help you today.

Now we all know that exercise is good for for our health. But for many of us (and I used to include myself in this number) this still isn’t sufficient to get us going. One of the first thing to get straight is it’s not your fault if you are resisting exercise.  Our brains are designed first and foremost to protect us and one of the ways it does that is to conserve energy.

So what has exercise ever done for us? Let’s consider a few potential options.
