Don’t Waste Food, Eat It Instead!
Ok, this is what we are taught, universally, either directly or in subtle ways but the underlying message is don’t you waste the food on your plate! Today, lets dismantle this deep rooted & unskillful way of thinking that is costing you your health & of course leads you to become overweight.
Hi there. How are you doing? Welcome to this episode on “wasting food”. I think this is a conversation that brings up a lot of resistance in all us humans. As a human, firstly it is in our DNA, that eating is essential for survival, which of course is true. But this very primal instinct can be taken too far which is what is happening in today’s world.
We have set up a world which is the perfect place to fatten everybody until & unless you are very conscious & aware of what exactly is happening.
So with eating being essential for our life, food of course is a prized catch. At least it was when we were hunter gatherers & evolving and could be caught up in a situation where we didn’t get food for days together.
But now, we have come to a point in our evolution where there is over abundance of food everywhere. So, living a life based on primal instincts is actually undermining our true potential. Its kind of killing our potential…
And on top of it, when we are growing up we are conditioned to believe in food scarcity where the reality is there is actually none. At least, I beg your pardon, that is what I am assuming if you are listening to this podcast.
The point being in order to evolve to the next level & unleash our full potential in life, we have to get in the habit of questioning the conditioning which our forefathers adapted & they have instilled all that in the coming generations, in all.
It's our job to become aware, examine those beliefs & stop to live as if those are true. So the belief about food that I’m talking about that comes from scarcity mindset is all about “wasting food”.

Hi there, how are you doing. Today I have an entirely important & valuable topic for you. We are going to take a deep dive into what I call the sugary aspect of weight loss.
Now, the thing is, some experts believe that you can lose weight by eating sugar as long as the calories are controlled while some experts completely ban it from your diet.

So today, I’ll teach you 5 concepts that will make it easier for you to understand what’s going on in your brain when it comes to sugar which in turn will help you to powerfully navigate the whole decision making around sugar in your diet.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:
Can I eat sugar & lose weight?
Is sugar really that bad for health and weight management?

7 tools to lose weight without changing anything that you eat or making any lifestyle change. I know sounds too good to be true, but if you stick till the end, you will ultimately realise the power of these tools and reap tremendous benefits.
So whether it is that you want to lose weight, maintain weight, or gain freedom around food, these tools will certainly.
Now, the first thing is, I wanna clarify is that I am not promoting to not make any dietary or lifestyle. No, that's not what I'm doing. That's not the purpose of these tools.
But when you actually understand that the major root cause of extra weight is unconsciousness, which I'll explain in the episode, you will realise that it’s actually impossible to not make dietary changes or lifestyle changes. You will not be able to continue with your current set of habits and the changes that you will make, those will be triggered from inside and they will be sustainable.

Should you throw away your weighing scale? Yes-No-Maybe.
Should you not care about the number on the weighing machine? How often should you weigh yourself?
All this & much more…today, we are talking all about the weighing scale.
In today’s episode, I want to ask you how is your relationship with the weighing scale?
I mean are you aware of how much you exactly weigh?
Or you have a rough idea? When did you last weigh yourself? Today morning? Last week…last year?
Many of my clients haven’t weighed themselves in years & when I ask them why, the usual replies are
I hate weighing myself or I didn’t bother
And and also, I also come across women although much less than the former categories who say to me,
Oh, I weigh myself everyday & sometimes, multiple times a day!
So, which category, do you belong to?
Today, I want to teach you how to use the weighing scale as one of the most powerful tools in the journey towards permanent weight loss & body confidence.

Do you feel guilty when you overeat? Is food guilt a this a good thing or a bad thing? Do you feel guilty about not being able to do enough for your body weight and health? In this episode, let’s unpack guilt.
You know, I once did a program, a body image program which was quite good and I got a ton of value from it. In that program, I became friends with a wonderful, bright woman from California.
And I remember this one instance where we were discussing about our recent overeating episodes. I was feeling very guilty about this last binge that I had a few days back. But my friend who also happened to binge a few days back said, “Girl, don’t feel guilty. Why are you feeling guilty. After this program, I have decided to never feel guilty no matter how much I eat. I crush the guilt the moment it arises and eat like a badass.”
Now lemme tell you that she thinking this way is not her fault. This is how I have seen many experts talk about guilt, especially in the field of intuitive eating…which is another topic that I would dive in in near future. This is a common advise. F the guilt. You should never feel it just because you ate something that you love. Period.
Now this advise…and this line of thinking is a problem. Firstly because you cannot get rid of guilt just by resolving to not feel it. The only thing you are doing then is suppressing it and pretending that its not there. And with time, the guilt that you suppress makes you eat more, not less which by the way is not a very beneficial way to live.
So today, I want to give you 3 powerful insights about guilt so that you are not stuck with underlying guilt as well as take advantage of this powerful emotion and make it work for you.

Hi there. Welcome to Episode 12. How are you doing? I hope you having a good time. You know this week, my little girl said something that I wanted to share with you. She recently 7 and she is in grade 2. She said mumma, I have decided that I want to slim down and so no more chips, only fruits for snacks. So in this episode I wanted to have a conversation about the two broad categories of food. Some of you might find this too simplistic but let me tell you what I have learned in my life that simplicity is power.
It’s so overlooked because our brains want to stay confused and as a result not make progress all in the guise of comfort and safety while our best lives pass by. And also when we simplify the concepts, that is when the real transformation takes place.

Do you struggle with food cravings? Have you tried using will power to say no to your favourites foods only to realise that it doesn’t work for long? And have you ever wondered why you even have cravings, especially when trying to lose weight?
In this episode I'm unpacking the worst nightmare of a chronic dieter and a weight struggler….cravings!
So, I always used to wonder that why is it that I do so well on my diet for the first week or so and then get hit by cravings that derail all my progress and even motivation. And then I also used to ask the dieticians as to how to deal with cravings…you know that urge to eat that chocolate pastry that your best friend orders while you are having sugar less coffee!
But the answer I always got from dieticians & nutritionists was make a “healthier” version of whatever you crave & you are good to go.
The other common responses to this question that I commonly see floating in the weight loss world are -
Suck it up…it’s all about will power. You got to have a strong will power or else you are doomed to succumb to your cravings. Or call a friend, talk to your mom or get a pedicure…This is how we are taught how to manage our cravings.
And let me tell you that I have tried all these methods and that is why I can tell you with 110% confidence that these do not work long term.
In fact they don’t work at all and leave you more frustrated and powerless around food, body and your weight. Sooner or later you end up giving in to the craving and you end up hating yourself in the process….
Still the higher part of you yearns to have a better body and a peaceful relationship with food. It clearly knows that something better is possible.
Well, I would say that once you understand the anatomy of cravings…the urge to overeat, you can literally rewire your brain in a way that not only the the cravings diminish in intensity & frequency, with time they are no longer an issue are no longer.
Dive in today's episode to learn the secret to claiming your power over cravings.

Do you also struggle with motivation sometimes, if not all the time?
Motivation to eat healthy…motivation to eat just enough and not overeat…
Motivation to not eat that much of sugar, eat more of vegetables and fruits and less of junk…motivation to start or maintain your exercise regime or take it to the next level.

Whatever it is, if you wanna learn the secret to ongoing motivation and what it takes to get to your ideal weight and or consistently make choices that serve you, then today’s episode will be a game changer.
You know I see so many women give up on their desire to accomplish their ideal body weight & live in a body they truly love, not because they lack the ability to do so….far from it…simply because they lose their motivation to do so…
So today, I will decode “motivation” in a way that will be practical and totally applicable in your life whether it is to lose weight or reach any other goal from today.
