Embrace Your Real

Are you stuck in "fat loss" mode where you think you need to live in a caloric deficit (burning more calories than you consume) every single day? If your answer is yes, I think it's time you did a reverse diet!

I know so many women who have gone years and years of under-eating and once they start eating the amount of food they actually need, they end up gaining a lot of weight. Once they do, they think they need to start under-eating again to lose weight. So they go back to restricting their calories, depriving themselves, and the cycle continues.

This tactic absolutely kills your metabolism. Thankfully I have a secret weapon that will help you break free from this vicious cycle and also help you maintain a strong, healthy metabolism: Reverse dieting.

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I explain what it means to reverse diet, why reverse dieting is so important, as well as a step-by-step guide on how to do it safely and effectively.

Hey girl, let me ask you a question…Why aren't you happy?

Maybe you're not happy with your body, or with your relationships, or in your career, or being by yourself, or maybe you have absolutely no idea why you are unhappy.

Most of us are living very fortunate lives, yet we still find ourselves unhappy. Why is that?

In this episode of Embrace Your Real, I explore the reason behind our unhappiness and share a simple practice we can do to successfully break free. It's a practice I do daily that has taken me out of my deepest funks and has brought me my happiest days. I also discuss how happiness should never be conditional and if it is, you will chase happiness for the rest of your life.

So if you're lacking happiness, peace, and contentment in your life, this episode is for you!

Do you know the difference between body neutrality and body positivity? To be honest with you, I had actually never even heard of body neutrality before until recently. And that's why I want to talk about it in this episode because I have a feeling many of you haven't heard of it before, or don't quite understand the difference.

Essentially, they are two different approaches for learning to embrace the body we are in. While one focuses on loving our body, the other focuses on loving what our body does for us, and not necessarily our body itself. One isn't better than the other, you may just resonate with one more than the other. And for those who think it's impossible to love your body, this is an episode you need to hear!
