As we optimize our hormones for weight loss, it turns out that the order in which we eat our food actually matters. Is it good to eat out of the bread basket they bring at the restaurant before all the other food? It turns out that the timing of when you eat the starch part of your meal makes a large difference in your digestive hormones and can affect how much food you store as fat.

Did you catch the headlines? A New England Journal study came out looking at eating windows and calorie restricted diets. The group that ate all day lost the same amount of weight that the group who ate their restricted calories in an eating window lost, so the media decided intermittent fasting is dead. I have to completely disagree. I'll show you how they asked the wrong question that led to this very unhelpful answer. And I'll talk about how to lose weight even better.

Author and coach Tony Robbins says that strategy is 20% of any journey, and the story you tell yourself in your mind is 80%. We have these stories about ourselves running on a loop in our brains 24/7. They speak to us in the waking hours and then send us dreams. I believe this is true of the journey to permanent weight loss, as well. On the podcast today, I show you how mindset can change everything.

Someone in my program, who eats a Mediterranean style of eating, told me that her husband doesn't want to eat that. He wants to eat MAN FOOD. Nevermind that all the genders are eating Mediterranean style near the Mediterranean and many other places. Anyway, it was a funny way to describe eating heavier foods, like meat and potatoes. If you know me, I always say yes to whatever food you like, so I talk about HOW to lose weight eating heavier foods with both food and mindset strategies. There's also an inspiration story for you, and I announce a new masterclass: The Unstoppable Mindset to Shrink the Numbers on the Scale. Hope you'll join me May 3, 4, or 5! https://www.vibrant-md.com/mindset
