Summary of episode:

Listed points:

1 (01:11) - Overestimating “Healthy” Foods

Foods like nuts, avocados, olive oil, and smoothies are healthy but very calorie dense. Portion control still matters.

2 (03:47) - Always needing something or needing something sweet

3 (06:45) - Needing to take advantage of everything

• Free meals, free drinks, finishing plate etc. You don’t always have to eat everything

4 (08:44) - All-or-Nothing Mentality

• One “bad” meal doesn’t ruin your progress, just like one salad doesn’t make you healthy. Consistency beats perfection.

5 (10:37) - Eating Too Fast/Mindlessly eating

• Your brain takes about 20 minutes to register fullness. Speed eating = overeating.

6 (12:31) - Not Prioritizing Fiber or protein

• Most people fall way short on protein. Protein keeps you full, helps build/repair muscle, and has a high thermic effect.

• Fiber keeps you full, helps digestion, and regulates blood sugar. Veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains should be part of every day.

7 (13:19) - Blindly Following Fad Diets

• Keto, carnivore, detox cleanses — trendy diets often work short term because of calorie restriction, not magic. Sustainability matters more.

Find a reason to motivate them. what will resonate with them?

Summary of episode:

The goal of this episode is to go deeper than you eating poorly and not being consistent with the gym .

In this episode

Listed points:

1 (01:27) - You do the same thing over and over expecting different results

• Failing on your meal plan? count macros

• Skipping the gym? Hire a trainer/find a workout buddy

• SO many people 3,6,12 months down the road we talk to in the same place, or worse. Because nothing changes

Solution: Change up the routine and approach.

2 (02:51) - You always put yourself last

-”“But I don’t have time for myself, I have to take care of my kids, parents, etc.” Sounds familiar? It’s a common societal expectation and gender norm for mothers to place the needs of their children ahead of themselves. But does this mean you need to put yourself last or can’t engage in healthier behaviours?

If anything, when you prioritize your own health and wellness, you have more physical and emotional stamina to care for others.”

Solution: Prioritize yourself and remind yourself of the importance of it.

You can’t pour from an empty cup.

3 (05:36) - You don’t actually want it bad enough

• Hardest one for some people to hear

• You like the thought of saying you’re doing something, but don’t actually care

• Solution: Find your deep why

4 (09:05) - You don’t have much of a game plan & always wing it

• It’s hard to stay on track when you don’t actually know what you’re doing or have a road map

Solution: Get a proper plan

5 (11:13) - The people around you sabotage you

Solution: Level up your circle

”People often feel insecure about their appearance and their choices. They feel guilt and shame for their own perceived lack of effort with healthy nutrition and physical activity. When someone around them starts dieting and exercising, it can trigger these feelings. It’s human nature to want to make these unpleasant feelings go way. This means making the shame trigger stop by running interference.”
