Fitness & Sushi

I don't think I've met a single person who didn't experience a period when they just didn't want to exercise.

They know it's good for them. They say they do enjoy it. But they're still feeling a lot of resistance.

There are many reasons this happens, and you don't necessarily need to be a participant in Diet Culture to experience this unwanted lack of motivation and drive.

But you should understand why it's happening so that you stop hanging out in the misery gap.

In episode 225 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I break down the reasons you're struggling to move your body. And we show you how to heal and improve your relationship with exercise so that you can either get out and exercise, or be at peace with not doing it.

In this episode - "How to Get Back In the Exercise Habit When You Just Don't Want to Do It", you'll learn...

🔶 Why you've lost the urge to exercise and how to reignite that spark

🔶 The common mental blocks and excuses that keep us from getting active

🔶 The difference between laziness and having a genuine need for rest

🔶 What your relationship with your body has to do with you drive to exercise

🔶 The difference between making exercise a hobby and just being active

When you're stuck in Diet Culture you don't realize just how much you think about food.

It's like there's a mental program running that's sucking up all your emotional bandwidth.

How much do I eat? Am I eating enough? I shouldn't have eaten that. I really want that. Don't eat carbs. I'm hungry. When's my next meal? Don't eat another slice of pizza. Stop eating these cookies. Cravings. Calories. Protein. Eat less. Gluten. Dairy...

... and the thoughts go on.

Of course, this isn't happening all at once. We usually get triggered by our body and decide to "get healthy", or lose weight, or eat better.

And before you know it, you have a preoccupation with food.

Unfortunately, this food obsession rarely leads to your desired results. In fact, it usually keeps you stuck right where you are, trying to control your body with food.

Getting out of the cycle of food obsession is key to achieving your Ideal Body.

In episode 224 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I help you understand where this food obsession really comes from, and how to stop it. Because more times than not, we're the ones voluntarily (but unknowingly) creating this harmful situation.

In this episode - "How to Break the Cycle of Food Obsession", you'll learn...

🔶 The psychological triggers that keep you fixated on food

🔶 How Diet Culture perpetuates food obsession

🔶 The mindset shifts you need to make to move away from your preoccupation with food

🔶 The parallels between our primitive and modern brains

🔶 How unrealistic beauty standards leads to food seeking behaviors

🔶 Why Tony doesn't feel right eating chocolate covered strawberries by himself

…and much more!

Most people are engaging in surface-level weight loss strategies.

As a result, they end up getting stuck in a cycle where the strategy they're using to solve the problem is the very thing creating it in the first place.

This is yo-yo dieting, and if you're not careful, you can spend a lifetime with little to show for it.

There are good reasons for why we choose these weight loss strategies, but there is a better way.

In episode 223 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I explain why these surface-level strategies not only don't work, but that they're also what's keeping you stuck. Then, we'll show you the right way to approach your health and fitness.

In this episode - "The Dangers of Surface-Level Weight Loss Solutions", you'll learn...

🔶 How short-term solutions can lead to long-lasting negative impacts to your health

🔶 Why we're drawn to these solutions even though we might know their harm

🔶 How to break the cycle and start getting down to the root causes of body dissatisfaction

🔶 Why nutrient deficiencies result from short-term strategies

🔶 Why dieting is actually a trauma response

🔶 Why Deanna's turning from the mic to swallow reminds Tony of his childhood

There are some really cool things that happen when you heal your relationship with food.

A single tweak to your perception of food and the meaning you attach to it can create a cascade of positive food experiences.

Imagine a world where your eating doesn't have a cloud of guilt or obsession looming over it.

I'm talking about freedom.

Food is taking up too much of your emotional resources. You shouldn't have to be thinking about what you're going to eat, if you're eating too much or too little, or what your meal is going to do to your body - all. the. time.

It's exhausting.

In episode 221 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I show you what your world will look like after healing your relationship with food. These breakthrough experiences are some of the best outcomes of the healing process.

In this episode - "5 Liberating Changes When You Heal Your Relationship With Food", you'll learn...

🔶 How to leave behind the endless cycle of food obsession and cravings

🔶 The surprising transformations that occur when your relationship with food undergoes healing

🔶 How a simple shift in your approach to food can unlock a world of positive changes

🔶 How your persistent food cravings will become a thing of the past

🔶 How throwing away food can be an empowering experience (when you're not doing it out of guilt or fear)

🔶 What Deanna's rap voice sounds like

When I shared my experience having an 8-5 job the last 6 months, I explained how the time and emotional energy commitment to it had burned me to the ground.

And I got a lot of feedback from our community about how so many people are feeling the same way.

You're just trying to survive. And you feel like a shell of a human since all your resources are going to take care of other people.

But there is a way to have health and fitness goals, while also having little space in your life. You just need to approach things the right way.

Most people aren't trying to gain weight, yet they're constantly immersed in a mindset and behaviors that all but assure weight gain over the long term.

I'm talking about dieting, of course.

And when I say dieting, I'm not just talking about following a branded diet. Everyone already knows diets don't work.

cue the "it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle" rationalization

Dieting, in this case, is more about the purpose behind your eating, and the meaning you've attached to food, your body, and exercise.

Because once food and exercise are reduced down to tools to manipulate your body and how you feel about it, you've already set yourself up for weight gain in the future.

So how do you reverse this process?

In episode 219 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I show you why dieting leads to long term weight gain, and what you need to do to shift the outcomes in your favor.

In this episode - "Why Dieting is the Best (unwanted) Way to Gain Weight", you'll learn...

🔶 The counterintuitive phenomenon of dieting leading to weight gain

🔶 How diets trigger the body's survival mechanisms

🔶 The strategies that lead to long-term health, consistency, and freedom

🔶 How scarcity creates more value and intensity around the foods you don't want to eat

🔶 How your metabolism is affected through prolonged bouts with yo-yo dieting

🔶 Why Tony volunteered to bully Deanna
