In this episode of the show, we explore the trend of fakeaway foods — making healthier and more affordable takeaway-style dishes at home. Join us as we discuss the benefits and provide practical tips for creating delicious and nutritious meals tailored to your preferences.

A fakeaway is the practice of preparing takeaway-inspired dishes in your own kitchen. We discuss how fakeaways enhance nutritional quality, offer value for money, and allow you to enjoy the social aspect of dining out without unhealthy choices.

By making your own fakeaways, you can control ingredients and portion sizes. They provide an opportunity to increase calorie awareness and cater to specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free options for sensitive tummies.

During the episode, we share favorite fakeaway recipes, including hawaiian pocket pizzas, homemade burgers with sweet potato chips, mocha praline mousse, omelettes, stir-fries, epic burritos, tropical chicken parmis, and ice cream bites.

We also provide our top 5 tips for your fakeaway foods including a few game-changers that are rarely thought of!

Tune in to this episode of the show to discover the art of creating healthier and satisfying fakeaway foods at home. Gain valuable insights, recipe ideas, and practical tips to transform your home cooking into a more enjoyable and nutritious experience.

In this episode of the show, we delve into the continued journey of Courtney's transformation, focusing on her ongoing challenges and how she overcomes them. Join us as we explore the final three significant areas: imposter syndrome, poor food variety, and anxiety.

Courtney opens up about her experience with imposter syndrome, a common struggle that many of us face along the way. She discusses the feelings of self-doubt and insecurity that often arise when pursuing personal goals. Learn about how Courtney confronted imposter syndrome head-on and developed effective strategies to overcome these limiting beliefs, enabling her to grow and thrive.

Another challenge Courtney addresses is the issue of poor food variety. She shares her own experiences with feeling stuck in a monotonous eating routine and the impact it had on her progress. She speaks about how she introduced a diverse range of healthy, delicious foods into her diet, creating excitement and satisfaction without compromising her goals.

Fianlly, anxiety is a prevalent concern that can stop a weight loss journey in its tracks, and Courtney candidly discusses her struggles with this issue. She provides valuable insights into managing anxiety and shares practical techniques that have helped her navigate the emotional challenges associated with weight loss.

As we like to do, we discuss the problems themselves and how they affected Courtney, and probably you too, but most importantly we offer practical advice and strategies to improve in these areas.

In this episode of the show, we continue to delve into Courtney's weight loss journey, focusing on her ongoing challenges and how she has navigated them. Join us as we explore three key areas: complacency, listening to noise, and comparing herself to others.

Courtney opens up about her struggle with complacency and the self-criticism that often accompanies it. She shares her experiences of reaching certain milestones and then falling into a sense of contentment, only to realise that she had more work to do. Discover how Courtney overcame complacency and developed strategies to stay motivated and focused on her long-term goals.

Another challenge Courtney addresses is the issue of listening to noise. She discusses how external influences, societal pressures, and conflicting information can cloud our judgement and derail our progress. Learn how she learned to filter out the noise, tune into her own intuition, and make choices that align with her personal goals and values.

Comparing oneself to others is a common challenge on the weight loss journey, and Courtney shares her own struggles in this area. She discusses the dangers of comparing progress, appearance, or success to others, and how it can lead to self-doubt and discouragement. Discover how Courtney shifted her perspective, embraced her unique journey, and focused on her own progress and growth.

In typical Weight Loss Podcast style, we discuss the problems themselves and how they affected Courtney, and probably you too, but most importantly we offer practical advice and strategies to improve in these areas.

In this episode of the show, we dive into Courtney's personal journey, focusing on her biggest challenges and how she has overcome them. Join us as we explore the first three key areas: her dislike of exercise emotional eating, and proximity eating.

Courtney opens up about her struggle with finding little enjoyment from exercise. She shares her initial resistance to exercise and the negative mindset she had towards physical activity. Discover how Courtney transformed her perspective on workouts and found ways to create a sustainable exercise routine that has held up for over 10 years now.

Emotional eating is a challenge many individuals face on their weight loss journey, and Courtney is no exception. She discusses her personal experiences with emotional eating, exploring the triggers and patterns that led to these behaviours. Learn how she developed strategies to better manage her emotions and make better choices when it comes to food.

Proximity eating, or mindless snacking due to food being readily available, is another obstacle Courtney addresses. She shares tips and techniques for navigating situations where food is in close proximity, such as at work and even the home environment.

Throughout the episode, Courtney's honesty and vulnerability shine through as she shares her journey and the lessons she has learned. Whether you can relate to a dislike of exercise, struggling with emotional eating, or facing challenges with proximity eating or a combination of all three, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you overcome these obstacles.

In this episode of the show, we tackle the topic of time management and its crucial role in achieving weight loss goals. We address the common notion of not having enough time and debunk the myth that weight loss requires spending hours in the gym or endless hours in the kitchen.

We begin by acknowledging that we, too, have fallen into the trap of using the "I don't have time" line. However, the good news is that we all have the time necessary to prioritise our goals, even amidst our busy lives filled with work, family, and other commitments.

Drawing from our personal experiences, we discuss how we navigated busy periods in our lives, including the busiest time in both our lives - right now.

Key concepts covered in this episode include:

- Honest Assessment of non-negotiables: We emphasise the importance of identifying and defining your non-negotiables, just as we discussed in Season 4 of the podcast. Without clear non-negotiables, you become vulnerable to distractions, inconsistency, and shiny object syndrome.

- Decision-Making and Prioritisation: We delve into the concept of effective and honest decision-making, highlighting that every decision you make involves cutting off other avenues.

- Identifying and Minimising Time Wasters: We emphasise the need to recognise common time-wasting activities, such as excessive social media use and procrastination. By creating awareness, you can implement strategies to minimise or eliminate these distractions, like setting limits on screen time or using productivity apps.

- Creating a Schedule and Sticking to It: We suggest using a planner or digital calendar to map out daily and weekly schedules. By blocking dedicated time slots for exercise, meal prep, grocery shopping, and self-care activities, you can ensure you prioritise your most essential tasks.

- Importance of Planning and Meal Preparation: As the saying goes, "Plan and prepare or prepare to fail" when it comes to weight loss. Allocating specific time each week for meal planning and preparation, and utilising batch cooking or meal prepping techniques, can save time and support healthy eating throughout the week whilst minimising the number of food-related decisions you're making each day.

Whether you feel like you just can't make it work amidst a busy schedule or seeking effective time management strategies, this episode provides valuable insights and practical tips to help you prioritise and focus on the things that really matter to you.

As we mentioned in the episode, we strongly recommend you listen to Season 4 "What are your non-negotiables?" - CLICK HERE to listen.
