Negative Body Image Days -

These days can happen to everybody ..... male / female / young / old. At some point everyone will experience MEH days and how they see themselves and how they feel in their skin.

In this podcast I discuss the following :

- What drives these days

- How to navigate these days

- How to apply rationale to these days

- How to keep the mindset in check during these days

I really hope this helps for someone.

Ohhhh and at the beginning there is a little bit of Ted Talk about Fear of Failure, why fat loss needs to be looked at beyond just aesthetics and a I also touch briefly on prolonged repeated dieting and the consequences of this.

Episode 30 hello and hi ! This episode covers a few different topics. The first one being post weekend away, reality of the during and the reality of the after . Hopefully there is a few actionable tips in this episode to help you if you have a holiday or mini break incoming

Another topic I discuss in this episode is - Getting Curious about yourself and the barriers you have fixed in your mind. Are they really BARRIERS ??? In this section I also discuss a big barrier that women often fall into and that is weight gain in Peri Menopause / Menopause. Trust me that is not a barrier - I have seen women lose body fat and regain their confidence in their skin with lifestyle and nutrition changes. It CAN BE DONE

A bit about Google Calendar and scheduling to achieve your goals is discussed also!

The title of this episode kind of says it all. Today I talk about Binge Eating (BED) vs Overeating. It is quite common for people to say they binged when in actual fact it was a case of simply overeating and eating more food than they had planned. There is a very important difference between Binge eating and Overeating and it is hugely important for people to recognise this difference in terms of mindset.

Listen to this podcast and hopefully you will resonate and be less inclined to consider overeating episodes as binge episodes. Overeating can BE reduced or eliminated and in this episode I go through some points to help you reduce over spending on your calories .

An unusual podcast !

Turning 50 and my thoughts on this and a little bit of healthy reflection

All things health and fitness and if you are in your 20's or 30's then now is the time act for future self.

Touched on Menopause & Diet !

Also a full discussion on why we need Protein and why the emphasis is put so heavily on protein.

So most definitely a little bit of this and a little bit of that !

Thanks for listening

In this episode I talk all about the one thing we actually don't have a problem with and that is dieting for fat loss & health. We actually all know what we need to do and how to do it.

We do HAVE a problem with behaviours, habits and mindset

We do HAVE a problem with our relationship to food and how we utilize food for comfort

We do HAVE a problem with over absorption of information and mixed messaging

Listen to my thoughts on all of this. As always I am just planting seeds in your mind. Sometime these seeds may flourish enough for you to take action to a happier healthier you.

This episode is all about the challenges we face in life on a fat loss journey. Things like holidays, weekends away, Irish society and the force feeders, food environment, breaking habits, poor sleep & small kids etc.

There is a quite a lot in this one and I hope you will find it helpful.

Thank you for listening

Everything we do in life is a choice. Own the reality of the choices we make. Expectations vs Reality !!! Bank holiday weekends incoming.... what actions are you going to take - YOLO approach OR Mindful of the goals you have set.

Bit of a spade a spade podcast today. Shooting some realities and truths about fat loss. It certainly isn't all bells and whistles and exciting times. It is at times a trek and it is at times hard. Sometimes you have to dig deep and embrace the hard. Sometimes you have to really look at change in order for you too see changes.

Choose your hard .... be in the same place this time 12 months or do the hard work (because it isn't easy) now to create a sustainable lifestyle.

Give it a listen!! Might just be the podcast you needed to hear and the reality check that sometimes we all need.

This episode is all about moving stones !!. It is a visualisation analogy that will hopefully help you understand the inner work & priority work that needs to be done prior to fat loss .

You have to move the big stones first in order to get to the littler stones. The big stones being :

Your relationship to food

Negative Body Image

Sleep Hygiene

Emotional Eating

Adherence & Consistency

Narratives you use

etc

Have a listen and I hope it resonates with you and helps. Sometimes you need to step back to step forward.
