In today's episode, Rachael talks about how to look at your year as a whole instead of worrying about the choices you make over the course of 7-14 days.

In today's bonus episode, Rachael talks about alcohol and how to be mindful of your intake over the festive period. Don't worry - we're not talking about restricting, just being mindful. Enjoy a drink but be sensible.

Find out about The Last Diet you'll EVER need to go on in this interview with Behaviour Change and Habit Change Specialist Shahroo Izadi. Author of The Kindness Method and now The Last Diet (click to preorder your copy), Rachael speaks to Shahroo about her own personal weight loss journey and what she has learned from helping hundreds of people to lose weight WITHOUT going on a diet.

Listen as they discuss:

• The reasons why it is so difficult to stick to a diet (and the approach that really works instead)
• How focusing on habit change instead of food and exercise will transform your relationship with your body, food and exercise
• Why losing weight really has nothing to do with what you eat

and lots more.

Listen as Rachael talks about how important 'self-talk' is when it comes to making changes.

Negative self-talk is NEVER productive and the first step to creating change in yourself is to start with kindness. Kindness to yourself and others.

Rachael talks about how to get rid of that feeling of guilt surrounding food and drink in December.

Release yourself from self-imposed food rules (or food rules that have been given to you by diet companies) and learn to listen to your body. Enjoy the festivities without associated guilt and STOP PLANNING your January diet!
