Running Lean

There are a lot of dieticians and weight loss coaches out there who preach the benefits of tracking your food.

They suggest tracking every bite you eat, entering all of your food into an app each day, and then sticking to this routine for…basically…ever.

I’m not a big fan of this approach for many reasons which I will share with you here on today’s podcast!

Today on the Running Lean podcast, I answer the big burning question: should you be tracking your food? If no, why not? If yes, how should you do it?

It’s a new year and a time when a lot of people become ultra-focused on health, fitness, and losing weight.

It’s also a time when a lot of people will try some new fad diet or a new exercise routine that promises instant weight loss with minimal effort.

I’m definitely not going to do that here today since I’m a big fan of the slow and steady approach to losing weight.

In this episode, Common Weight Loss Myths Debunked, I clear up the most prevalent misconceptions about weight loss and offer some tips on what to do instead.

There are basically two ways to approach any challenge.

One way is to focus on all the reasons why you can’t do it.

The other way is to focus on all the reasons why you can.

I find it interesting that so many people choose option one when facing anything challenging in their life.

They spend a lot of time and energy focusing on why they can’t do it.

Today, talk about why you do this, how this kind of thinking is keeping you stuck, and how to stop arguing for your limitations.

The post 209. Replay: Stop Arguing for Your Limitations appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

Most people spend a great deal of time thinking about the past.

They ruminate over things they did that they regret doing.

They replay situations over and over and wish they’d handled things differently.

They focus all of their energy on past events and spend zero time or energy on their future.

This is a mistake. Why? Because you can’t change the past, it’s over and done with.

But you can 100% change your future, so that’s a much better place to focus your energy.

So this episode is all about remembering your future so you can make that future a reality.

If you want to accomplish a big goal, the key to getting there is consistency.

You have to take aligned action and continue to take it over and over and over until you eventually reach that goal.

The problem is, that most people don’t stick with something long enough to see the end result!

They get off track somewhere along the way and usually end up staying off track.

Getting off track is not the problem, we all do it, the real problem is not getting back on track.

So today, it’s all about how to get back on track and how to stay there so you can actually crush those big goals.

Sometimes, I have a bunch of thoughts that I want to share with you here on the podcast and I’ll create an episode for each one of those random thoughts.

This is a great way of taking a deep dive into each topic and looking at it from several different angles.

However, today’s podcast is going to be a little bit different.

Instead of focusing on one topic, I’ve got several random thoughts about weight loss for runners that I want to share with you here today.

They might all be seemingly random, but they do all focus on weight loss and running so maybe they’re not so random after all!

The post 206. Random Thoughts about Weight Loss for Runners appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

Most people come up with all sorts of excuses, reasons, and stories for why they can’t accomplish something hard.

You set out to lose weight so you change your diet but you eventually slip back into old habits and your new way of eating goes out the window.

When you ask most people why they do this, that’s when all the excuses, reasons, and stories come into play.

There’s a different way to approach all of this and in this episode, I’m going to show you the way.

Most people think that the problem is “out there”, but when you accept that the problem is you, you can start accomplishing everything you want in your life.

It’s officially the Holiday Season and that means it’s time to gain a bunch of weight over the next 30 days and start the new year feeling like crap, right?

I know it seems kinda crazy when I say that out loud, but the truth is, that’s the way most people do it.

Most people gain quite a bit of weight during the holidays and then swear a solemn oath that they will get back on track in January.

I’ve done this many, many, many times so I know exactly what this looks like.

I also know how terrible it feels when January comes around and you have to lose a bunch of weight just to get back to where you were before Thanksgiving!

In this episode, I offer a better approach to this time of year and I have 5 tips to avoid gaining weight this holiday season.

When it comes to diets and dietary advice, there is a lot of conflicting information out there.

For every study that shows that one particular food is bad for you, there’s another study showing that it’s actually good for you.

It is extremely difficult to make sense of all this conflicting information, and it can feel very overwhelming when you’re trying to decide which diet is best for you.

In this episode, I’m going to help you make sense of all the conflicting information out there so you can make informed decisions about how your particular food choices might affect your health.

One of the toughest things about losing weight and keeping it off for good is developing a healthy relationship with food.

I work with runners every day who admittedly have a very unhealthy relationship with food.

They overeat, they are constantly making unhealthy choices, and generally feel very out of control around food.

If this sounds like you, rest assured there is nothing wrong with you, you’ve just developed some unhealthy thought patterns about food.

So, one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself is to begin to recognize and then start unraveling those unhealthy thought patterns.

That’s what this episode is all about so stick around, I think you’ll find some very helpful tips throughout this podcast.
