“Weight and food have kept you trapped in a life you don’t love. It’s time to finally change your habits and behaviors, and break all patterns and conditioning around food and eating. It’s time to love yourself and love your life!” Those are the words of Dr. Mowll’s guest today — Nutritionist Lisa Goldberg.

 

Lisa received a Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. She believes in eating real — not processed — foods. She also believes in ‘everything in moderation’ and not being deprived or counting points and calories. She says, “When you begin to create an awareness of what your habits and behaviors are around food you can ‘change your brain’ and your relationship with food. You will be able to stop that negative and self-sabotaging voice in your head that keeps you from reaching your goals and maintaining your ideal weight.” Her goal is to help people make long-term changes and not just give them quick fixes or crash diets. She teaches you how to make the right food choices to help you lose the weight for good.

 

In today’s interview, Lisa and Dr. Mowll discuss how mindset and behavior change are essential to sustainable weight loss, how to deal with night-time eating habits in a healthy way, the importance of enjoying the food you’re eating and finding recipes that excite you, and ideas for rewarding yourself for positive behaviour and reaching your goals. She also reveals the main reason why people gain weight back after they lose it on a diet (and how to solve that problem), the importance of keeping a food journal, and describes the best ways to address negative self-talk and creating awareness around the messaging you’re sharing with yourself.
