EP#192: How to Eat Like an Italian Nov 22, 2022

Show notes

How do Italians eat pasta every day and not gain weight?

Why do they have the lowest obesity rate in Western Europe?

Why they don't gain weight as easily as Americans do?

In October, I was really fortunate to spend two weeks in northern Italy. I visited Venice, Verona, Florence, and Tuscany, specifically the medieval walled hill towns of San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra. They were each wonderful in their own way. I had a fantastic time, and really loved it there.

While I was there, I talked to a few American expats. One American woman in Florence told me, "I've been living here for a year and have lost 10 pounds without doing anything. I eat pasta every day. Plus I can eat dairy and gluten here with no digestive problems. Back in the States, I couldn't tolerate those foods."

I can't tell you how many people have told me stories like this. Americans who visited Italy told me that they drank wine with one or two meals a day, ate pasta, desserts, not to mention those breakfast croissants, and did not get the indigestion they normally got back home, and did not gain weight.

The Italians are known for their fantastic cuisine. Italy was the EAT in Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love. And for good reason.

Have you ever wondered why Italian cuisine is so delicious? And how do they eat that carb-heavy diet filled with pasta, bread, croissants (see typical Italian breakfast to the right) and other delicious things, and not have the obesity problem that much of the rest of the world is experiencing?

Italy has approximately half the obesity rate as the United States.

Tune in below (or wherever you get your podcasts) and learn how you too can eat like an Italian.

EP. #191: How to Reach Your Goals By Taking Baby Steps Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

How many times have you heard this saying?

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

So many people get stuck and have difficulty reaching their weight goals (and any other goal for that matter) because they get caught in a repetitive pattern of doing the same thing that doesn't work, or that makes things worse,, over and over again.

Maybe you keep stopping at that bakery on your way to work, buying three pastries under the pretense that you'll share them or save some for tomorrow, then eat them all.

Maybe you binge on chips after dinner while watching TV every night.

The Weight Loss for Foodies method is all about achieving permanent weight loss success by changing your habits and developing a peaceful relationship with food and eating.

Some people can dive right in and do all of the things that I recommend.

But that doesn't work for everyone.

For many people, what works the best is to take baby steps to break patterns of overeating or emotional eating that you keep repeating to your own detriment.

Stay tuned to learn how you can get out of your rut and start making progress by taking baby steps to change your eating habits.

And stay tuned for a very important announcement at the end–and it isn't a sales pitch!

EP. #190: How You Think About Food You Eat Affects Weight Loss Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Do you eat foods you don't like very much because they're low in calories or carbs, then feel unsatisfied afterwards and still crave something tastier?

There's a scientific reason behind that!

I have something exciting and NEW to share with you about mindset and eating.

Surprising evidence supports the role of mindset in weight management in a totally unexpected way.

How you think about what you're eating affects your weight! What that means is what you think about your food affects how your body responds to it physiologically.

I mean how full or satisfied what you eat makes you feel.

It's totally consistent with the Weight Loss for Foodies approach to eat what you love when you're hungry as a way to lose weight and experience a peaceful relationship with food and eating.

It's backed by the research of Alia Crum, a psychologist and researcher in the field of mindset at Stanford University.

Dr. Crum discovered that what people believed about what they were eating affected both their satisfaction with the food AND the levels of the hunger hormone their body made, which affected their appetite.

Listen below or wherever you get your podcasts to learn why this is so important and how you can make it work for you so you get to your comfortable weight.

EP. #189: How to Deal with Comments about Weight & Eating Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Do you have family members who make comments about your weight, other people's weight, their own weight, or what you should and shouldn't eat?

Do you have friends or family who are always talking about their latest diet?

It's summer vacation, which for many of us means eating meals with family members we don't see all the time. For some of us, that's a blessing. For others, it can be very difficult and stressful.

For many people, dealing with their extended family is wrought with all kinds of mixed emotions and potentially difficult interactions.

As a weight coach, one thing I hear repeatedly from my clients is that they have family members who make comments about how they look, their weight, or their food choices. Some people come from families where the significance of appearance, and weight in particular, carries undue importance.

Then there's that person at the table, be it friend or family member, who has to tell everyone about their latest miracle diet.

Tune in and learn why their comments are NOT OK, not well-meaning, and how to deal with them gracefully.

I'll give you some tips about how to deal with these situations.

You can download a free copy of my PDF entitled "Managing Comments About Weight And Eating" HERE.

EP. 188: How to Effectively Use the Hunger Scale Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

When was the last time you felt physically hungry?

Do you eat in response to your body's hunger signals?

Or do you eat for all kinds of other reasons that have nothing to do with your body's need for food?

One of the most important tenets of the Weight Loss for Foodies approach is to only eat when you're physically hungry, and stop eating when you're lightly full.

The reason this is so important is that when you only feed your body when it's hungry, and stop eating when you're lightly full, you give your body the amount of food it needs to be your healthy weight.

Most people don't pay attention to hunger and fullness, and eat for all kinds of other reasons, like you're bored, tired, it's noon, or whatever.

When you eat but aren't hungry, your body stores that energy as fat. That's why obesity is in epidemic proportions nowadays.

BUT once you start eating in tune with your hunger signals, miracles happen!

You start dropping extra weight without giving up the foods you love! You feel lighter and have more energy. Food and eating become easier and less stressful.

The tool I use to decide when to start and stop eating is the Hunger Scale, and that's what I'm talking about in this episode.

TUNE IN to this week's episode below and learn how totally KEY eating only when you're hungry is if you want to eat what you love, lose weight and keep it off.

Download your free copy of the hunger scale HERE, and keep it near where you eat.

Weight Loss for Foodies is now available as an online, self-paced course without coaching. In it, you'll go beyond what I talk about in the podcast, and can download worksheets to practice what you're learning and guided audio practices. The cost is less than half of the price of the coaching program. Learn more and sign up HERE.

EP. #187-How to Trust Yourself Around Any Food Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

If you want to lose weight, how you THINK about food is even more important than what you eat. You see, your mindset about food and eating, especially if it's a diet mindset, could be the single biggest thing standing between you and weight loss success.

The good news is all you have to do to change that is change how you think! And that's one of the few things in life we can actually control.

The reason why diets don't work for sustainable weight loss is because they teach you to think of food as scarce.

When you think of food as scarce, you set yourself up for a binge, or at least, to overeat.

But when you have a mindset of abundance about food, you can be much more relaxed around it.

You know you can eat what you really want when you're hungry, so there's no need to eat food just because it's there.

You can trust yourself around any food.

Listen to learn the many advantages of having an abundance mindset, how it frees you to lose weight relatively easily, and how to change your mindset around food from one of scarcity and dieting to one of abundance so you can trust yourself around any food.

EP. #186: A Rule Hater's Guide to Food Rules Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

Do you have a lot of rules about what you can and can't eat? Some people have lists of food rules that are almost as long as the United States tax code.

No sugar.

No carbs.

No refined flour.

Only eat fruit before noon.

No fried foods.

No dairy.

No gluten.

Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

Drink apple cider vinegar before every meal.

Only eat during an eight-hour window.

You get the idea.

Well guess what? These rules are probably keeping you from losing weight.

You can overeat healthy food. I know. I did it for decades.

And they're stressful, right?

I don't like rules. Especially ones that are counterproductive.

So I want you to forget all of these rules that tell you what to eat and what not to eat and when to eat. Toss 'em all!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn the only four guidelines you need to be a healthy weight while enjoying the foods you love.

Can Eating What You Love Help Your Metabolism? Jun 07, 2022

Show notes

Eat what you love and increase your metabolism? That's entirely possible, and there's even science to back it up. Eating mindfully and savoring food away from the distractions of your smartphone, the television or other distractions, can actually help you lose weight. I was surprised to learn this, too, but a study done a few years ago at North Carolina State University backs it up! I am not saying that simply eating what you love will help you lose weight. It's more complicated than that. But there are lots of ways you will benefit from eating what you love and enjoying it without distractions. Food is a source of pleasure in our lives that we have to experience every single day, so why not enjoy it? In this episode, I discuss the North Carolina State University research on the subject of eating foods we love, the benefits of listening to your body and eating without distractions. Stay tuned to learn why and how that works, and how to do it! Do you eat to avoid difficult emotions? If so, check out my free video masterclass, Kick the Emotional Eating Habit for Good. Available on demand! Click HERE. If you're enjoying this podcast, I would love it if you would show me by supporting it. Click HERE and leave me a tip in any amount.

EP. #184: 7 Ways to Delay Gratification to Achieve Your Goals May 24, 2022

Show notes

You've decided you're going to finally do what you need to do to lose those extra pounds. Starting today, you've resolved to eat better.

You're going to eat only when you're hungry.

You make a yummy salad and bring it to work for lunch.

You vow to eat fewer sweets and exercise for an hour three times a week.

Then you stop in the grocery store, and they are giving away free doughnuts to customers. You had oatmeal for breakfast and aren't hungry, but you grab a chocolate glazed one and wolf it down while walking to the cash register.

At lunch, your coworkers order some pizza, and you decide to join them. You put your salad in the fridge and think, "I'll eat it tomorrow."

At the end of your work day, you decide you're too tired to stop at the gym.

So much for good intentions!

Can you relate?

Ever since the first humans evolved in Africa, people have done things that are against their better judgment.

It's not because you're weak willed.

No doubt you've delayed gratification many times in your life.

Stay tuned and learn how you can consistently do it with food, too!

EP. #183: Why inspiration won't get you to your weight goal, and what will May 10, 2022

Show notes

Do you get derailed from your efforts to lose weight because you lose your inspiration?

How do you stay on track long enough to get results?

So often, people ask me how to stay inspired to eat right and lose weight.

Many people believe that inspiration is what you need to be successful, but that's a fallacy.

Sure, inspiration is great! It feels good, and it makes doing certain things easier.

For a little while.

The problem is that you CAN'T stay inspired for very long, no matter how well things are going.

Maybe you can stay inspired to do something for a week or a month, but if you want to lose weight and keep it off, that won't get you there.

That's exactly why diets fail. Because when you start a new diet, you're excited by the newness of it and the hope that this diet will be different.

But when you start to get weary of the stress of food restriction, your inspiration leaves, and so does your adherence to the diet.

Establishing positive, healthy eating habits is the secret to success.

Because once you establish good habits, staying on track is effortless most of the time.

Inspiration really is more of an emotion, and our emotions are fleeting.

We simply can't be inspired all the time.

So when your inspiration tank runs out, how do you stay on track?

How do you lose weight and keep it off?

Tune in to learn why you can't depend on inspiration to get you to your goals, but what really does work!

If the habit you want to change is emotional eating, check out my free video masterclass, kick your emotional eating habit for good. You can find it on my website or in the show notes.
