In this episode, Vikki Cronin discusses the importance of turning mindless eating into mindful eating. She emphasizes the need to slow down, be present, and appreciate the food we eat.

Mindless eating, often caused by distractions like phones or screens, can lead to overeating and a lack of satisfaction. By waiting 20 minutes after a meal, we can better regulate our hunger and avoid unnecessary snacking.

Vikki encourages listeners to practice these small tweaks in their eating habits to make a big difference in their overall calorie intake and weight management.

In this episode, Vikki Cronin discusses the importance of consistency in achieving long-term sustainable fat loss.

She shares her personal experience of lacking motivation !!

Vikki emphasizes the need to rely on an element of discipline and routine rather than motivation, as motivation can be unreliable.

She explains that consistency is the steady and repeated application of habits and behaviors, which drive progress over time. Vikki also touches on the 80-20 rule of nutrition, where 80% of daily calorie intake should come from nutrient-dense foods and 20% can be soul food.

Takeaways

Consistency is the key to long-term sustainable fat loss.

Relying on motivation alone is not enough; discipline and routine are essential.

Consistency means showing up even when motivation is low and progress feels slow.

The 80-20 rule of nutrition suggests that 80% of daily calorie intake should come from nutrient-dense foods and 20% can be soul food.

Consistency requires making daily decisions and choices that align with your goals.

Sound Bites

"Consistency is the little secret to long-term sustainable fat loss."

"Motivation definitely goes absent without leave. It just goes AWOL."

"Consistency means being persistent. It's not giving up at the first hurdle or the second hurdle."

Also highlighting the significance of balancing exercise with nutrition, working on mindset and relationship with food, and paying attention to other variables like sleep and movement.

Overall, the key takeaway is that successful weight loss requires a holistic approach that addresses both physical and mental aspects.

I was triggered. I mean really triggered by misinformation online that actually had me internally screaming. So I decided to take to the podcast to talk about it.

Protein is one of the most important macro nutrients in a peri menopausal woman's diet (and also in a post menopausal womans's diet).

It is a macro nutrient that a lot of women don't eat enough of. So on this podcast I am going to fully explain WHY you need to prioritise your protein intake if you're in middle age, either approaching peri menopause or bang smack in the middle of it.

Please share with your friends. It will truly help you and help them for your / their future health.
