399: Answers To Common Fat Loss Questions Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

A couple years ago I regularly did "random episodes" answering listener questions & sharing my own personal hacks & strategies.

In today's episode, I'm doing both. I'm sharing a personal detoxification strategy and answering a bunch of listener questions including:

Does eating this particular food take me out of fat burning mode? What's the best thing I should eat to make sure I stay in fat burning mode? Does exercising after eating sugar prevent fat storage? I also answer some mindset related questions from listeners who are frustrated that they aren't taking action to reach their goals. They want to lose weight, they want to eat better & they know what it matters so much, but they're still failing to take action & make it happen.

I hope you enjoy the episode & if you have questions you'd like me to answer in an upcoming episode, leave them in the comments below!

397: Boundaries, Standards & Bright Lines Oct 05, 2017

Show notes

On today's episode we're talking about boundaries and standards we set for ourselves. These are rules and restrictions but rather reminders that help us make each day as good as it can be. They are reminders that point us in the direction of choices that make us feel our very best.

I shared a new boundary I recently created for myself: I don't indulge alone. I shared how I worked through my mental resistance to this change and the big ways I think it's going to improve my life and my mindset.

Lastly, I talk about my honest answer to a great question from a listener. She asked, "How do you balance making progress towards your goals with being at peace with your choices & your body?"

Don't miss today's episode!

396: Bad Advice & Unsolicited Opinions Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

In episode 388 I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson to talk about his new book, The Keto Reset Diet. During that interview I decided to give the reset a try, as a way of encouraging my body to be a better fat burning.

Surprisingly, my boyfriend decided to do the reset as well & in the first 12 days he lost 19 pounds.

He was talking about it with some friends when we were out to dinner the other night & the amount of bad (well intentioned but misinformed) advice that got tossed around was staggering.

I'm not one to give unsolicited advice so I didn't jump in or counter any arguments, I just listened. I'm sure my boyfriend knew that my mind was racing, but I'm certainly not going to correct anyone who isn't looking to learn (but rather to share what they're sure they know).

Anyways, in today's episode I thought I'd share the advice that was tossed around and give my two cents where people do come to hear my insights & opinions.

395: Low Carb, High Insulin? Sep 30, 2017

Show notes

Insulin is the master fat loss hormone. Optimizing insulin production and release means fat loss, energy, satiety and the absence of cravings.

Not optimizing insulin means fat storage, difficulty burning fat, fatigue, mood swings, cravings and more.

In episode 394 we introduced the insulin index and explained how insulin can be impacted even when blood sugar is not.

Today we're getting tactical & specific - reviewing which foods might have zero carbs but still produce a measurable insulin response and what you should do about it.

The formula for insulin load:

insulin load = total carbohydrate – fiber + 0.56 x protein – 0.725 x fructose

394: What Is The Insulin Index? Sep 28, 2017

Show notes

Today we are talking about the insulin index. We talk a lot about the way carbohydrates drive insulin and how our control over insulin really determines our energy, hunger, cravings and ability to burn fat.

However, there are many more factors at play than just carbohydrate when we're talking about insulin.

In fact, there are some foods that don't have much of an impact on blood sugar but do drive an insulin response.

Today is part 1 of a 2 part series where we'll look at all the factors that influence insulin, including some of the tricky ones you wouldn't expect!

393: Don't Believe Everything You Think Sep 26, 2017

Show notes

One of the most destructive ways to hold yourself back & stay stuck in fear and excuses is to believe every thought you think.

Do not believe everything you think.

In today's impromptu episode, I'm sharing a particularly challenging experience I had this past weekend & how it showed me a huge opportunity to stop believing my thoughts.

My thoughts were creating fear and making a tough situation nearly impossible.

If you find yourself stuck in delay, doubt, excuses and inconsistencies, this will be a powerful episode for you!

392: Missing Out & Dealing With Temptation Sep 23, 2017

Show notes

I absolutely love this episode. A long-time client of mine had a big mindset breakthrough recently & today I'm sharing it with you.

For most of her life, this client has indulged almost every day. Chocolate here, ice cream there, she never wanted to miss out on a treat.

Even though she wanted to lose weight & get healthy, she didn't want to miss out on indulgences - and that's how she say giving them up - missing out.

We talked about a lot of different strategies over many months of work - focusing on what's really worth it & what's not, indulging with less frequency - we tried lots of things.

However, her story remained the same: I love treats and I don't want to miss out on them.

Recently, she decided to change her story. In today's episode I'm sharing her breakthrough as well as my own perspective shift.

If you feel like you're inconsistent and struggle to resist temptation, this episode is for you!

391: Motivation & Mindset Master Class Sep 21, 2017

Show notes

If you want to change what you do, you've got to change how you think.

If you want to change how you act, it begins with your mindset.

In today's episode I'm taking a deep dive into mindset, perspective and the way we choose to make it work for us or against us.
