Love How You Eat

I know this isn't breaking news (!) but there is significance in this decision that I encourage you to be curious about.

I explain how Instagram had become a comfortable marketing activity even though it wasn't really bringing me new clients and as a buffer that distracted me from doing vulnerable work, exploring business ideas, prioritising proper rest, and deepening connections.

I compare Instagram to an “energy vampire” and explain how it puts us in an unconscious state comparison and judgment which will affect our self-image and confidence.

I encourage you to ask what scrolling is stopping you from doing, what it might be protecting you from, and whether you will value that time later.

Reflection prompts:

Notice how scrolling affects your time, energy, and the outcomes you want.

Ask what you might be avoiding or protecting yourself from when you reach for your phone.

Decide whether the time you spend scrolling is something you will be glad you spent later.

Choose a specific alternative that supports you, such as rest, a walk, reading, journaling, or reaching out to a friend.

If you believe that your body works differently to others, that you need to try harder than everybody else, that the same things that work for other people don't apply to you, then listen to this episode!

I uncover the sneaky mindset that's getting in the way of the results you want and deserve. It's not your body or genetics, it's the way your brain works which is good news because you can change that!

I explain how to move forwards so that you become the brightest, most confident version of yourself in both mind and body.

I can't tell you the amount of people that tell me that have a sweet tooth which invariably means they eat sugar in an erratic, uncontrolled way when they're not hungry.

This episode explains how your identity, and the way you think about yourself, matters.

The things you tell yourself, no matter how innocuous, are insidious and will create the outcomes of your life (and body). 

And if you don’t think consciously, you’ll be relying on the primal part of the brain that doesn’t know about you and how you feel and what makes you truly feel your best emotionally.

That part of your brain will always prioritise sugar, and the more you obey it and reward it the more it’s going to drive you towards it. 

It’s time to break free of that frustrating cycle by thinking on purpose and creating an identity that actually serves you.

I really encourage all listeners of this podcast to listen to this episode because I see this topic as one of the biggest obstacles to the peace and confidence we want to feel in our bodies.

If you've lost weight and regained it and things feel complicated, please listen to see how your residual diet mentality and thoughts about food are causing that outcome.

I also tell you what's going to help you break free of this tiring and frustrating cycle for good. You so deserve this freedom.

Whether you vape or not, please listen to this episode to help you change the eating and drinking behaviours that are keeping you from feeling your best.

Quitting vaping has really shown me what it takes to create the changes we might want for ourselves and also revealed what doesn't work.

If you're following the Love How You Eat principles consistently and not getting the results you want, I encourage you to get curious about whether you're telling yourself an unhelpful story about what counts as empowered eating.

I give a personal example of a work birthday cake and eating tiramisu at Jamie Oliver's house (you read that right!) to explain exactly what I mean.

If you are feeling stuck or not getting the results you think you deserve, I encourage you to listen to this episode. You might be stuck in diet mentality more than you think and it'll be tripping you up without you really realising it, leading to an under-eating (restricting) and over-eating cycle (self-abandonment) that means you don't actually get anywhere.

You deserve so much better than that.

It's easy to get lost in food rules and overthinking what's right or wrong for weight loss. This episode connects you back with the tool that helped me create the results that positively transformed not only my body but how I thought and felt about food.

Here's the hunger scale breakdown:

The hunger scale helps you reconnect with your body's natural cues.

The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to become aware.

Use it to notice:

• When your body is asking for food
• When you've had enough
• When you're eating for reasons other than hunger

-10 — Extremely Hungry

You feel desperate for food.

You may feel shaky, lightheaded, irritable or unable to focus.

At this point, your body is asking for food urgently and it can be much harder to make calm, intentional choices.

-8 — Very Hungry

Strong hunger signals are present.

You are very aware you need food and may be thinking about eating frequently.

-6 — Hungry

You feel clear physical hunger.

Your body is asking for nourishment.

-4 — Gently Hungry

You can feel hunger building.

You feel ready for food but you’re calm and able to choose what you want to eat.

This is a great place to begin eating.

-2 — Slightly Hungry

You are starting to notice hunger cues.

You could eat now, or wait a little while.

0 — Neutral

You feel neither hungry nor full.

Your body feels settled.

+2 — Satisfied

Your hunger has gone.

You feel comfortable, nourished.

You could easily move on with your day.

+4 — Enough

You feel satisfied and aware that you have eaten.

You are energised.

You are comfortable, but you may notice food sitting in your stomach.

+6 — Quite Full

You feel heavier.

You may feel less energised or comfortable.

+8 — Very Full

You feel uncomfortable.

You have eaten beyond what your body needed.

+10 — Overfull

You feel stuffed.

Your body feels uncomfortable and you may regret continuing to eat.
