Fitness & Sushi

For Day 2 of The Ideal Body Formula Series we're breaking down your relationship with food.

You probably already know something is wrong with your approach to eating, but it can be hard to understand what needs to be fixed.

The symptoms of a dysfunctional relationship with food are apparent...

Excessive food thoughts. Out of control eating. Not trusting yourself around food. Never knowing how much to eat. And the list goes on.

But the problem is Diet Culture takes an ineffective backwards approach to solving these problems.

So that's what we're going to dig into today.

When I poll our community on whether they would prefer to be able to eat without counting calories, the answer is always a resounding yes.

The problem?

They don't trust themselves to be able to do it.

Many people don't even know what true hunger and fullness even feel like.

Others feel a loss of control and confidence surrounding their eating when they aren't tracking.

But if the last decade has shown me anything - it's even the most staunch calorie counters can learn to let it go and trust their body's hunger cues.

I was one of those people, and there are so many others like me.

This skill is a key component to healing your relationship with food. And as you probably know, your relationship with food is 1 of the 4 relationships you need to heal in order to achieve your Ideal Body.

In episode 243 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to show you how to get back in touch with your body's hunger cues so that you can work towards just being able to eat like a normal person without the constant food and calorie obsession.

In this episode - "How to Trust Your Body's Hunger and Fullness Cues", you'll learn...

🔶 Why we don't trust ourselves to just listen to our body

🔶 Strategies for reconnecting with your body's hunger cues

🔶 Why your success depends on being able to honor your body's signals

🔶 Reasons you might never feel hungry or always feel hungry

🔶 Why hunger isn't something you want to ignore or try to suppress

🔶 Why Deanna thinks Tony has made it impossible for her to talk about being vegan

Binge eating affects nearly 3 million adults in the United States. And women are twice as likely to suffer from it compared to men.

There's an even greater number of people who suffer from disordered eating - up to a quarter of the population or more.

Some of the symptoms include...

• eating until you're uncomfortably full
• eating alone due to embarrassment
• feeling out of control
• eating without feeling hungry
• hiding food
• being preoccupied with food
• avoiding social situations involving food

These struggles around food lead to problems in your social life, career, health (mental and physical), and other relationships.

I've also struggled through a binge eating disorder, and many of our clients have too.

The good news is you don't have to be one of these statistics. You absolutely can overcome this struggle, and we're going to show you how.

In episode 242 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to break down the physical and emotional causes of binge eating and show you what to do to start feeling in control with food again.

In this episode - "How to Break the Binge Eating Cycle", you'll learn...

🔶 The common triggers that lead to binge eating

🔶 Why your relationship with food is key to overcoming the struggle

🔶 Why trying to force yourself not to eat certain foods ends up backfiring

🔶 What recovering from binge eating typically looks like

🔶 How to deal with the guilt and shame around food that surround binge eating behavior

🔶 Why Deanna decided she was the show director today

Our society places a lot of importance on extrinsic values such as wealth, career, education, and social status.

But none of these can compare to the time and energy we put into trying to improve our appearance.

And how does that work out for most people?

We struggle - for a lifetime.

What's interesting (and ironic) is how we willingly put ourselves into a disempowering identity in an effort to feel empowered.

We feel less-than for most of our lives so that we have a chance to feel a higher sense of worth.

It doesn't have to be that way. You can have and be so much more.

In episode 241 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to help you understand why we do this to ourselves and what you can do to start seeing yourself as a worthy, whole human being. The result is a better life experience - immediately.

In this episode - "How to Stop Placing So Much Importance On Your Appearance", you'll learn...

🔶 The real reason we obsess about our looks

🔶 Strategies for shifting your focus from appearance to intrinsic strengths

🔶 How to deal with the impact of disempowering societal standards

🔶 Why your body is the least interesting thing about you

🔶 How to find better balance between internal and external validation

🔶 Why Deanna needs everyone to know she's vegan

So many people like the idea of breaking free of Diet Culture, but they're afraid.

They have fears surrounding weight gain, losing control with their eating, and worsening health.

It's normal to have fears when undergoing such a big lifestyle change, but there's really nothing to worry about.

All of the fears are just that - fears. Rarely do they manifest in the way you think they will.

Understanding this will allow you to make the changes necessary to finally achieve your Ideal Body.

In episode 240 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to go one by one through the biggest fears that keep people from adopting an anti-diet lifestyle. We'll show you why the fears manifest, and what you can really expect on the other side.

In this episode - "How to Overcome the Fears Keeping You From Embracing an Anti-Diet Lifestyle", you'll learn...

🔶 The root fears preventing you from breaking free of Diet Culture

🔶 Strategies for overcoming the fear of weight gain

🔶 How to address any concerns about losing control around food

🔶 Why fears about worsening health are misguided

🔶 How to deal with judgment and social pressures when transitioning to a new lifestyle

🔶 How Deanna's Spanish studies are creeping into the episode

Creating healthy habits is hard enough as it is. We don't need to add unnecessary resistance to the process.

There are some very specific things you should consider doing, as well as avoiding, when attempting behavioral change.

When done right, new habits are easier to implement, which makes it possible to stack more and more habits into your life.

In episode 239 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to break down a multi-pronged approach to creating healthy habits that last. This is the same process we follow ourselves, as well as use to help our clients in their own health and fitness journey.

In this episode - "How to Make Healthy Habits Easier to Create", you'll learn...

🔶 How to transition from old habits to new by changing the way you value your daily behaviors

🔶 The psychology that needs to be in place in order for healthy habits to have a solid foundation

🔶 Willpower's role in helping you get started with new behaviors

🔶 When you'll realize whether your new habit will stick

🔶 Why there's likely to be some discomfort with any sort of change

🔶 How Deanna was quick to agree when Tony opened up about his struggle with relationships

Why do we struggle to do the things we know are good for us?

Enter self-sabotage.

The failure of our goals tend to be a result of subconscious thoughts and behaviors that feel out of our control.

Rarely do we just decide to fail.

Instead, our psychology leads us to that path due to past experiences and the identity that they create.

Addressing self-sabotage at the source is the key to overcoming our future failures.

In episode 238 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to break down where self-sabotage comes from and why we continue to go down paths that we know aren't good for us. In doing so, you'll be able to recognize the cause of these behaviors, and start adopting healthier strategies that support your goals.

In this episode - "How to Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Health & Fitness Goals", you'll learn...

🔶 The hidden reasons behind why you're undermining your own progress

🔶 Strategies to break the cycle of self-sabotage and stick to your goals

🔶 How fear of failure and success both contribute to self-sabotage

🔶 What your beliefs have to do with whether or not you stick to your healthy behaviors

🔶 The importance of setting realistic goals to prevent feelings of failure and discouragement

🔶 Why Tony didn't get his redo after denying Deanna's last week

We tend to think of losing weight and getting healthy as the same thing.

But they aren't.

In fact, the one-dimensional way most people approach weight loss tends to lead to worsening health over time.

Weight loss based behaviors are not the same things as health based behaviors. They can be, but they usually aren't when you're part of Diet Culture.

But if you approach your health in the right way, your healthiest weight will be the natural side effect anyways.

In episode 237 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I explain the difference between losing weight and getting healthy, and how approaching your journey the right way will ensure you're able to achieve your goals.

In this episode - "How Weight Loss Obsession Undermines Your Health", you'll learn...

🔶 The psychological impact of weight loss fixation

🔶 Why losing weight and getting healthy are not the same thing

🔶 How quick fixes to your weight create long-term health consequences

🔶 How dieting leads to nutritional deficiencies

🔶 How to make weight loss and improved health coexist

🔶 Why Deanna wanted to start the episode over but Tony pushed on

Diet Culture typically portrays your health and fitness journey in an unrealistic way.

You're expected to flip a switch - going from one lifestyle to the next and never looking back.

But anyone who has tried to undergo a big lifestyle change knows that things rarely play out that way.

The thing is, the path you experience during your typical weight loss journey is nothing like the one you experience on your way to the NEW Ideal Body.

Healing your relationships with food, body, exercise, and mind have predictable stages, and being aware of them will ensure you stay on track and don't get discouraged and give up.

In episode 236 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to break down the common patterns we've seen over the last decade of coaching clients to their Ideal Body. We're going to show you the good, the bad, and what you need to know to succeed.

In this episode - "What the Path to Your Ideal Body Really Looks Like", you'll learn...

🔶 The differences between expectations and reality

🔶 When it's going to feel hard, and when it's going to feel easier

🔶 The milestones you're going to experience

🔶 The mindset shifts you're going to have to make to succeed

🔶 Why it's all going to be worth it in the end

🔶 What the Path! (explained)
