Welcome to episode 43 of the Behavior Chef Podcast!
Today I am really excited to bring you an inside look at what working with Behavior Chef looks like. Cristin shares her story from all of the things that she has tried in the past to hitting plateaus and what brought her to connect with Behavior Chef. Working with us Cristin has added to her already impressive journey by losing an additional 25 pounds by increasing her daily caloric intake and no food was off limits! I know what you are thinking, "What! That sounds crazy". It isn't crazy, it is values driven and behavior specific! I hope you really enjoy hearing Cristin's amazing journey!

December 09, 2021 New Year New Me, Diets, Donuts and 4 Tips to Resolution Behavior Change
New Year, New Me.
We have all said it and we have all failed at it. In this mini-sode I wanted to give you some tips and insight on how to create a new years goal that will stick this time. I dive into the psychology, behavioral components and the personal attachment I have to this issue. I really want you to listen to this, take notes for yourself and share this with someone who needs it. This is 20 minutes that could really help you or that someone that comes to mind stick to the goals they have for the new year and feel confident in their ability to do so. You are worth so much more than a new years resolution can even say. Let's change the narrative together this coming year. Let's redefine "new year, new me".

November 18, 2021 Three Strategies to Defeat Limiting Beliefs
I use to struggle with limiting beliefs about myself when it came to diet and losing weight. I would try losing weight, jump on the scale and see it either didn't move or went up a little and thought "I screwed up again". Then the yo-yo cycle would continue.
That is an example of a limiting belief. They are these beliefs that come from sticky thoughts that keep us rooted in the places we don't want to be yet can't seem to get away from. In this episode I have given you three sure-fire techniques that you can implement right now, to begin to get unstuck and really reach your goals.
I hope that this is helpful to you. I would love to hear from you!
See you next week,

November 10, 2021 Don't Diet During the Holidays
I know the title is off putting. Stay with me.
A majority of people that attempt to diet fail at long term success. This is backed by study after study. There is also a reported increase in psychological issues and mental health decline around the holiday season. Many people that are dieting will attempt to continue through the holiday season only to fail and see themselves as some sort of failure. The thing is, it isn't your fault. You are not the failure. It is the system in which you are attempting to work, it simply does not work for you. This is where the idea of not dieting during the holidays comes from.
During this episode I give you several nutritional, psychological and behavioral tips to navigate the holidays, enjoy your time with friends and family and still work on your goals. I really hope that this is helpful to you. Remember, you deserve your health.
See You Next Week,
Clint

November 03, 2021 Five Behavior Techniques to Help You Navigate a Night Out
Number one red flag that your "diet" is too restrictive? "I can't eat there".
Listen, life is about enjoying the little things right? Well appetizers are little things. We must enjoy them.
All joking aside, in this episode we give you five behavioral strategies that you can use RIGHT NOW to help change your relationship with diets, with eating out and the whole concept of flexibility. We want you to be able to have your cake and eat it to, while reaching your goals. I know, that sounds impossible, but it isn't. It is more about your overall relationship with nutrition, how you approach stress and food related binges (or restrictions) and the make-up of what you eat day-to-day. There is no "hack" that will lead to sustainability. There is however the ability to learn to be psychologically flexible and focus on consistency through continued practice. In this episode we deliver 5 sure-fire things you can begin to use that will help you change that relationship with food.
You deserve your health. Sometimes that means eating the pizza and taking the data.
