Create Your Balance

In this episode I discuss what food freedom is: It’s pretty much the absence of any diet rules or restrictions. It’s being able to eat what you want and when you want WITHOUT feeling guilty. 

I know many people are worried that they may put on weight if they are not following a set of diet rules or some meal plan.

Can we all just agree that you were born for So. Much. More. than constantly thinking about food, weight, and how your clothes are going to fit today? You deserve food freedom.

So...what are we going to do about it? 

Finding success with food and body requires three simple steps. They truly are simple, but that does not in any way mean that they are quick or easy. It’s not a 30, 60 or 90 day quick fix.

I discuss these 3 in more detail in this podcast:

Awareness

Choice

Trust

As long as you’re still here, and you’ve read this far, I know one thing about you: You’re ready to learn more about the 3 simple steps to food freedom. 

It seems that weight loss and dieting are always the top of most people's lists these days. We’re all so focused on weight loss that sometimes we don’t realize that we’re actually missing out on things in life. 

In this episode, I talk about what we are missing out on in life by constantly being on a diet. 

Are social events something that you fear because there’s food there that may not be on your diet? Do you find yourself skipping out on pictures because you haven’t lost the weight yet? Is it possible you’re hanging on to the “thin myth”? 

Let’s dive in and talk about what you may be missing out on and how to change that and enjoy your life!!

In today’s episode I’m going to dive into what disordered eating is along with some signs and symptoms. 

Disordered eating is used to describe a range of irregular eating behaviors that may or may not warrant a diagnosis of a specific eating disorder.

Now when I say disordered, I’m not diagnosing anything and I am not necessarily talking about the common eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia or anything along those lines. 

These signs and symptoms I am discussing are some you may not even realize you have BUT they can eventually lead to actual diagnosed disorders. 

First and foremost, this 1200 calorie “diet” is number one on my list of disordered eating. 

I’ll be discussing signs and symptoms of disordered eating such as:

• Frequent dieting, anxiety associated with specific foods or meal skipping 
• Chronic weight fluctuations
• Rigid rituals and routines surrounding food and exercise
• Feelings of guilt and shame associated with eating
• Preoccupation with food, weight and body image that negatively impacts quality of life
• A feeling of loss of control around food, including compulsive eating habits
• Using exercise, food restriction, fasting or purging to "make up for bad foods" consumed

I do NOT give my clients meal plans. I have multiple reasons WHY but, in this episode,  I'm going to discuss the 4 I feel are most important and why.

I know many people just want to be told what to eat, how much and when but what happens when the meal plans are done? What have you learned about nutrition? 

How does one succeed with weight loss without a meal plan? 

Let me just answer that loosely: Because everyone knows how to lose weight short-term. Eat less, and exercise more...OR is it the answer?

The problem is nobody knows what to do when they get to the promised land! What happens AFTER the meal plans are done with and you reach your goal? How do you maintain?

I don’t do the DIET MENTALITY so let’s dive into the 4 reasons and WHY:

• Meal Plans Don’t Work
• Meal Plans are Too Strict
• Meal Plans Don’t Teach You Anything
• Meal Plans Make Eating the “BAD” Foods Feel Like Punishment

THIS is exactly WHY I hate giving out meal plans. So WHAT does work? Listen to the podcast and you’ll find out...it’s not what you might think either. 

Did you know traditional diets don’t teach you what you really need to know?
No one teaches you how to lose the emotional weight ..which is exactly WHY we start over and over again, Monday after Monday

I’m about to give you 5 things fad diets won’t teach you...no matter how many you try.

You’re about to find out exactly why you stay stuck on the emotional yo-yo diet rollercoaster ….starting over every single Monday but yet expecting different results.

You’ll never get the real results you want without these five things

I often ask my clients what their “goal weight” is when I first consult with them. This gives me a ballpark figure of where they want to go and how to reach their goal. 

BUT….

There’s a little problem with this “goal weight” and waiting to reach it…

In this episode I’ll be diving into WHY waiting for your goal weight can become a problem.  

I get it, your goal weight is this magical place where you finally get the body you’ve always dreamed of. Once you get to your goal, you’ve made it. Once you get to your goal, all the happy things finally fall into place for you. 

You get to finally wear that outfit you’ve been waiting to fit into. You can go on vacation. Wear the bathing suit. 

It’s almost as if once you get to goal weight you’re unstoppable. You’ll no longer have the weight holding you back from living the life of your dreams...BUT how in the world can it be a problem??

It’s more so what you’re missing out on while WAITING to hit that “goal weight” 

Let’s talk about the issue with the whole concept of “goal weight” and what could happen IF you don’t quite reach that goal.

You’re doing ALL THE THINGS...eating clean, exercising...BUT you’re not quite seeing the number on the scale go down. What’s the deal? 

If the scale is stuck despite your healthy eating, add walking, jogging, dancing, or strength training to your routine, it’s possible your metabolism has slowed down for one reason or another. 

In this episode I’m going to tell you a few mistakes you may be making that are causing your metabolism to slow down. 

Things like:

What you are eating and drinking and whether you are getting enough of the RIGHT nutrients. There are many things we try when it comes to losing weight but these are SUPER IMPORTANT and they might just be the missing link to your success.

Losing weight can be a never ending battle. Some of us have always been looking for the hot new diet that will magically make it all easier. Sorry to break it to you, but staying slim and healthy is usually about making a commitment to lasting lifestyle changes—not the latest trendy diet.

In this episode, I’m talking about 6 things you have to give up to lose weight for good. Some of these things some of us have been doing for half of our lives. 

It seems the diet culture has us believing all the WRONG ways to lose weight. 

Take a listen to this podcast to find out if you’ve been doing these 6 things and find out how you can work on making some changes in order to see lasting weight loss results. 

When it comes to weight- loss so many of us are searching for the right diet. There’s so much information out there BUT it’s very possible you may be making these 10 mistakes...without really knowing it. 

In this episode, I’ll be addressing these 10 common mistakes we have all made and what to do about them to actually see sustainable weight loss. 

Once you are aware of these mistakes, you’ll have a good idea of what’s been holding you back and how to get started back towards reaching your weight-loss goals. 

How many times have you said “I’ll start Monday” or

 “Well today is blown; I’ll just get back on track tomorrow” or

 “I’m on vacation so I don’t care – I’ll get serious after”? 

Seems the “start over” is always on Monday. 

In this episode, I’ll be talking about the vicious cycle that we seem to continue to go on Monday after Monday. 

Does this sound familiar?

 Here’s how it goes:

1. Start a diet with strict rules
2. Lack of variety creates boredom and feelings of deprivation
3. Break strict dietary rules and “cheat” on diet
4. Feel guilty for “cheating” and give up altogether
5. Eat all the foods you weren’t allowed on the diet

And then it starts over. 

I’m about to let you in on a little secret on how you can get off this rollercoaster and find the right balance WITHOUT another MONDAY!!
