  • New Year,New You...My take on why it is BS!!

    Ahhh, yesss… a FRESH NEW  YEAR to start AGAIN!!!

    The diet industry is coming in hot with all the NEWEST FAD diets that EVERYONE Is doing…

    Well, in this episode, I’m going to suggest you DON’T hope on that  “New Year, New Me!” bandwagon. I’m about to give my unfiltered thoughts on this age-old saying that many of us feel the need to play into each new year. 

    I get it, the holidays are over and you may feel like you’ve overindulged a bit too much!! Is that REALLY the end of the world? 

    I’m going to discuss WHY it is not the end of the world and how the diet industry plays on these fears and insecurities we have EVERY YEAR!!!

    They are missing out on a few things, which I will discuss, such as: Taking inventory of the past and diving deep into all we have tried: 

    I’ll be discussing WHY we need to reevaluate the following: 

    • How far did each of these strategies take you toward “fixing” your food and body image issues?
    • What happened after you stopped using these strategies?
    • What did using these strategies cost you when it comes to your time, money, energy, emotional or physical state, etc.?

    Again, I’m out to bring the trust behind the BS in the diet industry and I’m pulling out all the stops and bringing it with full force. 

    Don’t worry, if you have these thoughts that you NEED another diet, you are not alone. The diet culture and its promises can be quite tempting but I’m here to show you there is another way!!

  • Liz's Transformation Story

    Liz recently went through my Mindset Madness program where we worked on the mindset we have around weight loss, food, and our bodies. 

    Prior to her getting started she said she felt frustrated, lost and was looking for honest help. 

    We worked through things like self-sabotaging thoughts, how we feel when we hear the word diet, and all the things that have been holding us back from seeing the results we deserve. 

    This is a 4-week program specifically to help women who are obsessed with food, struggling with weight loss, over-exercising, and never feeling like what they do is ever good enough.

    It’s where you’ll finally break through the limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns that have been holding you back.

    We touch on all the thoughts we have around diets, body image, weight loss, exercise, and our past experiences that may have had self-sabotaging effects on us. 

    If you are tired of losing weight only to regain the weight back, I urge you to go through this short course before you start your next weight loss program.

    This course provides what it’s missing from most weight loss programs on the market today, which is how to best apply their fitness advice into your life without burning yourself out.

    There are so many weight loss programs that teach people how to DIET and exercise...  What we don’t have are programs that teach people how to apply all the necessary changes into their lives without getting overwhelmed and burning out, which is the key to sustainable weight loss.  

    This is where the MINDSET MADNESS COURSE comes in. 

    It will show you how to best apply into your life all the weight loss and fitness advice you get from the weight loss or diet program you are following, with the lowest chance of burning out and quitting.

  • Losing Weight Does NOT Necessarily Make You Healthier

    In this episode, I’m dropping a few more truth bombs on the whole weight loss world. If you listened to my last podcast, I dropped a “few” facts and statistics on the sad things that weight loss is doing to us as a whole. I figured I’d keep going and let you know that losing weight does not necessarily make you healthier. 

    Oh, wait! What now?

    I know that a lot of us have been told, by our doctor, to lose weight because of A, B, or C numbers being high. Well, losing weight doesn’t actually improve health biomarkers such as blood pressure, fasting glucose, or triglyceride levels for most people.

    SO, with that being said..Did you know that you CAN actually lower those numbers WITHOUT going on a diet and losing weight? When we go on these crazy diets we do whatever it takes to lose the weight…BUT are we doing it in a healthy manner? Most times, the answer to that question is NO! 

    I go into detail as to WHY weight loss doesn’t equal health and talk a bit about WHAT you actually need to do in order to lose weight in a healthy manner ( if that is your goal) 

    I’ve had clients come to me after losing 20-30 pounds and they go to the doctor and find out their numbers are even higher than they were prior to dieting. But, hey, that number on the scale is lower and the doctor just said “you need to lose weight”.

    There’s a missing piece here that no one is talking about when it comes to weight loss and REAL health and I’m bringing it in this podcast.

  • My Unfiltered Thoughts on the FACTS and STATISTICS of Weight Loss,Body Image and Disordered Eating

    Have you ever stopped to look at the actual facts and statistics of the damage dieting is causing us? 

    No worries, I got ya right here in this episode. I can tell you that these statistics are astounding. I can alos tell you that I am bring my complete, raw and unfiltered thoughts on it all so there WILL be TRUTHBOMBS and F-BOMBS dropped! 

    Here are just a few that I will be discussing and giving my unfiltered thoughts on. 

    • 95% of diets fail and most will regain their lost weight in 1-5 years
    • 75% of American women surveyed endorse unhealthy thoughts, feelings or behaviors related to food or their bodies
    • 91% of women recently surveyed on a college campus had attempted to control their weight through dieting, 22% dieted “often” or “always”
    • Almost half of American children between 1st – 3rd grade want to be thinner and half of 9 - 10 year old girls are dieting
    • 35% of “occasional dieters” progress into pathological dieting, (disordered eating) and as many as 25%, advance to full-blown eating disorders
    • At least 10 million females and 1 million males are fighting a life and death battle with an eating disorder and million more are struggling with binge eating disorder
    • Eating disorders are among the TOP DEADLIEST mental disorder

     

    I’m not sure how THIS is not out there in the public eye! Instead, we have these multi-million dollar companies jamming the next quick fix down our throats telling us we will be thin, lean, sexy, and healthy if we do their magic program. 

    If you’re one of the 45 (PLUS) million Americans that plan to go on a diet in the new year...I’ve got one word for you...DON’T.

     

    Listen To this podcast and let the reality of these statistics sink in. Don’t be a statistic!!

  • Healthy Weight Loss -vs- Unhealthy Weight Loss

    It seems so many are out to lose weight for one reason or another these days...BUT What many people don’t realize is that there are really only two ways to lose weight: healthy vs. unhealthy weight loss.

    With countless products, programs, diets, and regimens being flaunted as a magic bullet to weight loss, it is tempting to jump on one of them just to lose the weight. But the sad reality is, many of these approaches only deliver dramatic unhealthy weight loss results that are hard to maintain.

    This is exactly what I’ll be talking about in this episode. 

    Things like” 

    What is UNHEALTHY weight loss? Do we really know or understand? An unhealthy weight loss plan pushes you to lose a lot of weight quickly.

    What unhealthy weight loss approaches do to your overall health and metabolism. 

    And, most importantly...what HEALTHY weight loss really is.

  • Dying To be Thin

    Are we DYING to be thin? LITERALLY!

     

    In this episode I’m dropping the truth bombs about what is REALLY going down in the weight loss/ diet world that society is jamming down our throats. 

     

    Am I angry?? YEP! It’s time to let the cat out of the bag and tell it like it is. It has to be put out there and I’m taking a stand for those of us ( yes I was included in this too) who have fallen prey to the BS that is out there that is LITERALLY brainwashing us to think we need another diet. 

     

    It’s time we learn the truth and see these diets for what they are really doing to us...so many are DYING to be thin. 

     

    Been there, done that, jacked up my thyroid, and found out the hard way that it was NOT worth it. We are at a point where we are RISKING our health just to be a smaller size and it needs to STOP! 

     

    So, let’s dive in...shall we?

  • Are You a Self- Sabotager?

    In this episode, I’m talking about how we actually are self-sabotaging our own weight loss effort AND how it’s possible we are allowing others to do the same. I’m also giving a few awesome tips on how to overcome these struggles so it doesn’t happen anymore. 

     

    The first step to most recovery ( and YES, dieting and struggling with weight for more than half your life requires a recovery process) is admitting there is an issue...the issue is SELF-SABOTAGE and we may not even recognize it. 

    Check it out: 

     

    Have you ever gotten to a point in your weight loss journey when things are moving along nicely, you have lost a bit of weight and are so close to hitting your ideal goal weight, and then “something” happens… you revert back to your old eating habits. 

     

    Ya know... “I am good during the day, but at night I start grazing and picking, and then tell myself I will start again tomorrow.” 

    Or, 

    “I had a bad eating day, might as well quit.” 

     

    For some, it may be a quick return to old eating behaviors, for others, it is a slow gradual reoccurrence. Then you feel so disappointed and frustrated regarding your inability to lose weight yet again, so you decide to give up. 

     

    Ever felt this way? If this is you, just know you are not alone. BUT...WHY does this happen time and time again you might ask? 

     

    SELF-SABOTAGE!!

     

    Self-sabotage is when you destroy your own ability to achieve your weight loss goals by working toward your weight loss goal and then somehow retracting from it. 

     

    There are several reasons why this may be happening and I’m about to dive right into them and give you a few tips and pointers to work through them...Let’s chat a bit more.

  • 4 Ways to Combat a Bad Body Image Day

    In this episode, I'm talking about the 4 ways to combat a bad body image day. 

    Let’s face it, we all have them and sometimes it happens more than we’d like to admit. 

    SO how do we work through them and realize it’s just a bad day not a bad forever?

     

    Instead of letting them completely ruin your day let’s learn how you can combat them

    Such as…

    Acknowledging your thoughts and feelings

    Making yourself more comfortable in the situation ( possibly a little change)

    Reminding yourself that you are more than just your body

    Learning to find the right support

     

    These are very surface level when you just read them but I will go a bit deeper into the true meanings of each one and how you can use them to help combat these “bad” days that do come up from time to time.

  • Body Positivity doesn’t mean “anti-weight loss”

    In this episode I’m going to be talking about the body positivity movement and what I am actually against...You may be surprised to hear that I am NOT against weight loss. It seems that sometimes when people hear body positivity they think it’s anti-weight loss and that it promotes obesity. 

     

    I’m 187% ANTI-DIET B.S. but if you have followed me and know my story, you know exactly why. 

    Weight loss isn’t a bad goal to have, I just believe we have been going about it in such a harmful way in the diet world for so long. I can honestly say, that WHEN I did lose weight and when I WAS in a smaller body..there was NOTHING healthy about it, especially the way I felt about my body. 

     

    I am all for health and self-improvement. And, what I see is that so much of our desire to lose weight is actually harming our health and self-improvement...let’s dive a bit deeper here with this podcast. Shall we?
