Create Your Balance

In this episode, I am going to be talking about a common struggle that my clients come to me with. I hear all the time "I've tried everything and nothing seems to be working…even the things I've done in the past!"

Weight loss can be a tricky thing as we get older. There's so much MIS information out there…trust me when I say that I have tried it all, and then some.

I'm about to expose a few secrets the diet industry is keeping from you when it comes to weight loss for women! The number on the scale isn't always as simple as eating less or moving more.

The REAL truth behind weight loss struggles is often ignored and NEVER addressed in your quick-fix diets out there.

Truths such as:

STRESS from the diets and what it's doing to your progress

Exercise duration and type ( is it doing more harm than good?)

Inflammation

Sleep Depravation

A LOT of these issues are actually caused by continually going on and off a diet…BUT the diet industry will NOT tell you that. No worries…that's what I'm here for.

In this episode, I'm bringing up a comment I saw on a post about someone who had been working out for a while. They were in conversation with someone who told them they didn't LOOK any different from working out.

I'm about to rip into WHY you should NEVER be so ignorant to say such a thing. We never truly know why a person starts working out nor do we know what their goals are. SO, to say something as far as HOW their EXTERNAL appearance hasn't changed is straight up ignorant BUT I understand it because society is so BLIND to the fact that there are actually people out there that work out for other reasons than to shrink the size of their body.

Some people DO work out to change their bodies on the outside…BUT so many more workouts out to FEEL different. Some work out for strength, empowerment, and endurance. Some work out to improve their mental health and of course, some do it because punching people in the face is frowned upon!!

I discuss that along with my reasons and feelings behind my workout years.

I hope to at least get the point across that is it NOT okay to say something like that to another person and WHY it's not really okay.

In this episode, I'm about to get VOCAL (in case you haven't heard me in the past)

See I have people attack me ALL THE TIME telling me I promote obesity because I am so against DIETS! YES, I'm against the BULLSHIT behind the diets and the UNHEALTHY shit they promote and I will not sit down about that. With that being said...I am NOT against weight loss.

So I'll be filling you in on what the heck that means because they can CO-EXIST!!

Diet culture sucks and it had my life turned upside down as it has for many of my clients.

The quick fix diets, the ones promoted by "health coaches", the fat burners, the magic meal replacement shakes…that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Let's face it, the diet industry is a flawed system ( because IF they did work, we wouldn't always be looking for the next diet) of toxic beliefs

THIS, THIS RIGHT HERE is what I'm against!

The diet industry does the following and it makes me want to puke…BUT instead, I'll take a stand and expose the truth behind what they are brainwashing us to believe and ACCEPT!!

The diet industry does the following and it's time you know:

• Worships thinness and equates it to health and moral virtue, which means you can spend your whole life thinking you're flawed or broken just because you don't look like the impossibly thin "ideal"
• Promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, which means you feel compelled to spend a massive amount of time, energy, and money trying to shrink your body, even though the research is very clear that almost no one can sustain intentional weight loss for more than a few years.
• Turns food into "GOOD and "BAD" categories, which means you're forced to be hyper-obsessed about your eating, ashamed of your food choices, and distracted from your pleasure, your purpose, and your power;

So, YES, I am against the diet culture but that doesn't mean I am against weight loss or that I am anti-health. Health comes in many different sizes and shapes!!

It's important to remember that we all have different needs. There is no ONE way to be healthy and the path to health will look different for each of us.

My question for you would be: do you know what healthy looks like for YOU? Or do you feel overwhelmed and confused by all of the conflicting information out there?

Let me know in the comments – I'd love to help!

In this episode, I'm revealing 5 DIET RED FLAGS you should be aware of.

Diets have such tricky and tempting marketing tactics and they definitely play on our insecurities. Heck, some even sound too good to be true!

If that's the case…RUN!

Always ask yourself if what you're about to do or have done has been or will be sustainable. I can guess your answer will most likely be NO!

Don't be fooled by these...

🚩 DIET RED FLAGS 🚩

• You certainly cannot eliminate Whole Food group for the rest of your life ( unless it's something that makes you ill)
• Exact meal plans are not a one size fits all and NOT sustainable.
• Don't get me started on the magic shakes and miracle fat burners…not gonna work!
• Let's stop labeling food as good and bad…this is the number one reason for guilt and shame when it comes to eating.
• Quick, fast results…

Real change takes time. Sustainable weight loss comes from fat loss and these quick fixes will only result in water weight loss.

If you're done with quick fixes and ready to end the struggle with weight loss without going on another restrictive diet, I'm here for you. DM me and let's chat.

When it comes to the fitness and weight loss industry, there is a TON of information and MIS information out there.

In this episode, I'm going to be discussing the TOP 4 trends out there in the fitness industry that could be causing us more harm than good. Trust me when I say I KNOW…I've been there, done that, promoted that, and then some. AND IF I ever tried to promote it to you, I apologize!

It really grinds my gears to hear and see these 4 things promoted left and right:

1. Eating 1200 calories
2. Taking supplements of magic shakes that are not needed and could cause more harm than good
3. ⁣Being told calorie deficit is the ONLY way when most women are and have been undereating for way too long
4. People who promote "weight loss" products just because they have used them and are now calling themselves health and fitness "influencers"

⁣

So the advice you think is helping...Is only hurting a generation of already confused women ⁣

REMEMBER: Health, weight loss, and body transformation is NOT one size fits all ⁣

It's YOU SIZE FITS YOU ⁣

If you're struggling with where to go from here on your weight loss journey, feel free to reach out, I'd love to chat with you.

With all the fitness trackers out there it's hard to know what to use…

In this episode, I'll be filling you in on what I use to track MY progress. So many people ask me how I track things and what I eat in a day so I figured I'd fill you all in on that. Because…inquiring minds want to know.

Now, if you have followed me in the past OR even listened to my podcast last week ( HERE )

So let's get right to it and stop all the mumbo jumbo of these show notes…shall we?

Do you use fitness trackers? Did you know they have a dark side?

I'll be talking about the dark side of these apps such as My Fitness Pal…Could tracking calories and macros every day hurt more than help, or even sabotage your diet completely? You'd be surprised.

Sure, they're great to keep track of your progress and your macros. It's a great feeling when you get all of your rings to coles or even get a little award for kicking butt on your progress for that day…BUT…there might be potential for a negative side..Let me just say, there IS a negative side.

I'll be talking about the downfalls that some of these trackers can have on us. I can remember being quite obsessed with the numbers myself not too long ago and it led to a VERY unhealthy relationship with food and exercise.

Here are just a few symptoms that might raise some red flags that I will be addressing:

1. Body image concerns (a strong risk factor).
2. Restrictive eating in an attempt to change body weight or shape.
3. Low self-esteem
4. Major preoccupation with body weight and shape to the point it dominates your thoughts and lives.
5. Binge Eating

If you're checking off ANY of these boxes and saying, that's totally me, then you may want to analyze whether the way you're using tracking apps is helping you or contributing to hanging on to or even aggravating those symptoms. ALSO, you may want to listen to what it is doing to our CHILDREN!!!

PLEASE, I beg you to listen to this podcast, if not for you BUT for your children. You may just be surprised at what you are about to hear.

"How do I lose weight fast?"

"How do I get rid of belly fat fast?"

"How do I lose the last 10 pounds?"

These are common questions I get asked and in this episode, I'm diving right into the answers.

You may not expect the answers I'm giving you but I'm laying out the truth and you NEED to know it.

Nowadays, we're so used to instant gratification that many of us fail to realize that losing weight and keeping it off is a process, not something that can be achieved overnight.

If we were REALLY able to lose weight fast…AND KEEP IT OFF, the diet industry would go broke!!

Let's talk about the REAL truth behind quick weight loss and how and why it may or may not work for you.

In this episode I'll be talking about how to promote a healthy relationship with food a body with your children. I know with all the info out there in social media and TV our children are exposed to so many different avenues of body image and weight that it can be difficult to know what to do.

I feel the most important thing is to start with ourselves and the example we are setting. So…what kind of example are you setting for your children?

Many of my clients reach out to me because they have struggled, often since childhood, with disordered eating, chronic dieting, and body hatred and desperately do not want to pass that on to their child.

In this podcast I reveal a few ideas to protect your children from food and body shame..

SUCH AS:

• Enjoying meals as a family
• Not having any off limit foods ( listen with an open mind and you'll understand where I'm coming from)
• Not categorizing food as good or bad
• Modeling balanced eating
• Refraining from associating food choices with body size
• Keeping exercise as fun and not a punishment ( it's called HEALTHY movement for a reason)
• Not speaking about your appearance or size in a negative way.

These are just a few of the tips I discuss in this episode…keep in mind that we as parents are setting the example and we want it to be a good one so we can break this cycle once and for all.
