Create Your Balance

We seem to jump from one diet to the next, hoping our waist will get smaller and the number on the scale will go down…BUT at WHAT COST???

I NEVER once thought about the cost "back in the day" BUT…

In this episode, I'm going to be talking about the COST and the LONG-TERM effects that no one talks about when it comes to dieting. I would hop from one diet to the next hoping that MAYBE this one would be THE ONE only to end up pissed off, disappointed, and feeling like a failure because THEY DIDN'T WORK!!

TRUTH BOMB…DIETS SUCK AND THEY DON'T WORK!!! Took me half of my life to figure it out and to realize that I WAS indeed suffering these long-term effects but just ignored them.

Effects such as:

• Decreased Metabolism
• Loss of Muscle Mass
• Food Obsession
• Disordered Eating
• Guilt, Shame, and Anxiety when the diet DOESN'T WORK ( even if it worked last time)
• Negative self-talk
• Bingeing or Overeating
• Rebound Weight Gain

YEP, all of the above, and then some, happened to me yet I never saw it or realized what it was doing to my health.

I have weekly discussions with clients about different diets or "lifestyle programs" they have been told to go on. Many don't consider the long-term damage that is done from even just 6 months-1 year of dieting.

This is what is promoted in the diet land where you'll be your best self and healthy…THIS is NOT health! In fact, it's quite the opposite if you ask me AND I LIVED IT!! Such a bunch of fuclery if I do say so myself!!

If you want to become your healthiest self, we must start at the ROOT cause, and trust me, it's about so much more than the scale girlfriend The good news? You DO NOT have to diet in order to be healthy or feel your best self.

I'm curious - what damage has dieting done for you??

In this episode, I'm getting up close and personal about my TRUE journey through weight loss and health and how it has led me to where I am today and how I work with my clients.

Truth be told, I promoted and stood behind the diet industry and everything it stood for…UNTIL I found myself in the MOST UNHEALTHY place I had ever been as far as my relationship with food, exercise, and my body. Talk about the "HEALTH" industry..oh don't worry, I will.

I share this story to help those who have had similar struggles as I have had for the majority of their lives. The struggle is REAL and I have been there, and done that and now I share it with you in hopes that it may help ANYONE out there who has gone down or is currently on this path. There is ALWAYS another way. I promise you that.

Does losing weight REALLY help you feel more confident??

Let's talk about that. Shall we?

I'm diving into the REAL TRUTH in this episode.

I hear all the time, from the women who come to me, that they'd like to lose weight to FEEL more confident, have more energy and be happier….BUT is weight loss what you need in order to FEEL that way?

Seems the diet industry pushes that and has us believing that ALL of our wildest dreams will come true once we lose weight with their program ( ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit there BUT come on)

Honestly, I love those answers. They are powerful.

What women are saying (and what you're likely saying, too) is that reaching your ideal weight, letting go of extreme dieting tactics, and getting more energy would transform your life.

That's no small thing.

BUT WAIT…there's more…When I ask what has held them back from achieving these goals theri top answers, ironically are..

Lack of confidence

Lose/lack my motivation

Lack of feeling happy/energy/good about myself.

The REASONS have become the EXCUSES as to WHY they aren't seeing the results they deserve…THIS is TOTALLY normal and I hear it all the time.

SO, how do we break the cycle?

If we are constantly using our REASONS/EXCUSES as one and the same we'll be forever caught in this perpetual vicious cycle.

WE MUST INTERRUPT THIS PATTERN and get off the yo-yo diet rollercoaster!!!

This podcast could be your ticket off this crazy yo-yo diet cycle

In this episode, I'll be diving into HOW does work AND FAIL for the same reasons. I know, you've lost weight on such and such diet…BUT are you someone who has done that OVER and OVER again throughout your whole life?

If you are, then you may want to listen up and hear what I have to say before you decide to hop on the new diet bandwagon that "everyone is doing".

I've always said, diets work UNTIL THEY DON'T..and I'm about to talk about that in this podcast.

Worried about the " holiday weight gain" you're hearing all about??

I got your back, no worries!!

In this episode, I'm giving you a few SIMPLE tips on how you can avoid the holiday weight gain this year. It may just be easier than you think.

I know this time of year we're hearing all about the good/bad of all the holiday gatherings and fearing the foods we may be tempted to eat and then…Oh, my..do I dare say it…WE COULD GAIN 20 FUCKING POUNDS!! Yep, that's the word on the street.

All these holiday parties got ya thinking you are going to gain weight and you're so scared that will happen that you can't even enjoy the day itself!!

What if I told you there were 3-4 SIMPLE things you could do to avoid weight gain this holiday season? You don't have to believe me, I know…I'm not a 72 BILLION dollar industry that is trying to scare the shit out of you with the fear of gaining weight…BUT ya may just want to listen to this episode and see what ya think.

You deserve to ENJOY the holidays this year without the fear of weight gain and I'm filling you in on how you can do so!!

In this episode, I'll be talking about why the scale may be fluctuating on a daily basis and whether or not you are losing FAT or WATER…this is important in order for you to see sustainable results.

Some reasons the scale may be fluctuation are:

Factors like sodium and carbohydrate intake, exercise, food intake, bowel patterns, a person's menstrual cycle, medications, and alcohol can all contribute to daily swings in the number on the scale.

Most importantly would be WATER RETENTION and I am going to be going into a few reasons you may be retaining…you might want to know this if you are someone who sees a daily fluctuation.

Here are some common reasons that we experience water retention, other than eating a salty meal:

• The menstrual cycle
• Birth control
• Elevated stress, which could be caused by:
  • Lack of sleep
  • Emotional stress
  • Trauma
  • Exercising (fluid retention in the muscles to help protect and heal micro-tears in the muscle tissue after exercise)
  • Over-exercising
  • A caloric deficit

I go into detail on the hows and whys of all of these so be sure to listen...there is NOTHING wrong with seeing the scale fluctuate a few pounds here and there.

So many of us are all about which diet we will do next and who is seeing the results we're wanting.

Maybe you just started the "Whole 30" because you want to lose some weight. ⁣⁣

⁣You realize now you can't eat sugar, bread, or drink alcohol for 30 days. You start losing your mind! "Omg, what am I gonna do?"

In this episode, I'm giving a quick rundown of WHAT's REALLY in a DIET.

What do you have to "give up" in order to see results?

What do you do AFTER the said diet ends?

Ask yourself these questions before you go jumping to the next diet:

"Is this something I can continue doing for the long term?"

"Is this sustainable for me?" ⁣⁣

It's no wonder why we continue to struggle. These diets are a LIFE SUCK!!! It's not a diet you need…sorry to break that to you but it's the honest truth.

If you're struggling over and over again you need to start focusing on building a lifestyle YOU can stick to. ⁣⁣

That starts with NOT restricting certain foods and eating QUALITY foods, walking, doing strength training, getting enough sleep, hydrating, building healthy habits, eating more fruits and veggies, alleviating some stress, and being consistent and patient.

It took me a while to understand this and I now teach it to my clients and they are seeing amazing changes in their lives!!

Hope this helps! ⁣⁣

In this episode, I get SUPER EMOTIONAL on all levels about the weight loss advice some of these doctors are giving out.

I have to come clean here and I MUST get this out there. I am shocked at the number of DOCTORS that prescribe a diet plan to their patients that is VERY UNHEALTHY, in fact, it kind of sort of encouraged disordered eating and can lead to eating disorders.

It actually makes me sad that this is even happening…and this story I am about to share, with permission from a client, was "advice" from a fricking WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC!! It breaks my heart how many women have come to me with VERY similar stories. We TRUST these doctors to have HEALTH in their best interest but I'm not seeing it with the strategies they are using to "help" their patients lose weight.

It's just another quick fix packaged differently ( I SAID WHAT I SAID). Don't fall for it ladies.

You'll have to excuse me because I kind of went off in this podcast and got a LITTLE emotional…so you know that means I was dropping F-Bombs left and right.

PLEASE< I beg of you, before you take the advice on weight loss from your doctor, listen to this podcast and do some research before you make any decision. While you may see some weight loss with these programs, it does NOT in one way promote TRUE health because it can lead to MANY unhealthy habits along the way.

Always ASK questions, ALWAYS know what you're taking and ALWAYS, ALWAYS listen to your body.

These are my clients exact words and it broke my heart reading it.

"I am your poster child Melanie. I have issues with Everything. I have done all the things you speak of. Your talks resonate to my soul. I will share how I fell into another hole just last year.

Doc refers me to a weight loss center. I'm obese. (Doc supervised, good thing right) Medicine, not one but two (not a big med taker)to help appetite and metabolism, bmi check. 1000-1200 calories a day. Intermittent fasting. Carb limit.

I was diligently lifting 3x a week and walking on alternate days. I was losing a pound a week. I did lose 25 lbs in about 5 1/2 months. When I questioned 1000 calories not being enough. They said it was ok. I said. The amount I'm eating and my exercise should be more a week. I don't think I'm eating enough. No they said you, in essence, have abused your body for so long your metabolism isn't efficient. It will improve but they don't know when it will kick in. Here take another pill, or an injectable. Didn't do it.

The aha moment is after 5 months, they did another bmi again. I had only lost 4 pounds of fat. I was like WHAT? What did I lose then? Water, muscle. Muscle which I have been trying so hard to attain to help me. After I stopped, 20 lbs came flooding right back on. I struggle because I've always failed. Never learned my lesson. Until Now!! 60 years old. Have I caused so much damage that weight loss isn't attainable? My body won't do what it needs to work efficiently anymore. Lack of knowledge and a Lifetime of abuse…. Can I ever make up for that? I am making better decisions, reading labels. Doing your class. Just wanted to share. I feel defeat and embarrassment."

Do you REALLY know who you are working with when you start a health and weight loss program?

In today's episode, I'm going t be talking about health coaches and how some seem to be crawling out of the woodwork left and right. The problem with that is the number of UNQUALIFIED health coaches that are out there.

How do I know this? I used to be one!!! Until I knew better and educated myself better. Working with someone who is educated can make a difference in your results and whether or not they are healthy.

Ladies!! You'll want to listen up!! We're talking about your body⁣…You literally get one of them.
