Overachievers and habits - why it’s so much harder to get consistent Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Consistency is harder for overachievers because they go from 100 miles an hour to zero very quickly as they rely on their willpower rather than creating habits.
If we set ambitious goals that we can't reach, we often lose heart and abandon them altogether. However, the "1% better daily" principle advocates for making small daily improvements that can eventually result in substantial progress.

By concentrating on making consistent 1% improvements every day, individuals who are overachievers can establish sustainable habits that will eventually help them get to their long term goals.

Although minor changes may appear insignificant initially, they can result in significant progress and growth over time. By continuously making incremental improvements, those who aim for excellence can develop momentum and accomplish their objectives in a sustainable manner.

James Clear, author of "Atomic Habits," suggests that relying solely on willpower is not a sustainable way to build habits. Instead, he recommends implementing a system of small, consistent actions that gradually become part of one's routine. For overachievers, this may mean setting lower expectations and focusing on the process rather than the outcome. By creating a habit of consistent, small actions, overachievers can avoid burnout and achieve their goals in a sustainable way.

Prioritizing Health During a Crisis: How to Stay Consistent in Survival Mode Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

in this episode, we talks about how to prioritise health even when you’re going through a crisis and just surviving. We’ll talk about the benefits of losing weight in a healthy way, which includes gaining confidence and self-discipline, having more energy, and being equipped to deal with the stresses and difficulties of life.

We also dive into practical ways to deal with a crisis, such as eliminating distractions and decision fatigue, accepting discomfort, saying "no" more often, and prioritizing sleep. This is all about shifting from a victim mentality to a victor mentality, taking ownership for what you want, and committing to small but regular actions to achieve your goals.

How AI will change the weight loss industry forever Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we’ll discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) is set to change the weight loss industry forever.

We explore the potential uses of AI in coaching, customising meal plans and workout routines, and making complex information more accessible to the public that has previously relied on industry ‘guru’s’ to translate.

I predicts that as AI becomes more prevalent in diagnosis, health professions such as nutritionists, dieticians, and doctors will become less valued. Instead, accountability and behavioural tools will become the most important parts of success. (They already are!!)

The biggest factor to success is implementation. Action beats knowledge every day.

While AI will help with some of this and change how we implement, human connection, accountability and community will still continue to be a huge part of what makes habit change ‘sticky’ so that you ACTUALLY do it long term.

Don't Let the Scale Determine Your Success: Understanding Weight Fluctuations Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

When it comes to tracking your progress on a weight loss journey, the number on the scales can be both encouraging and demoralizing. While it's natural to want to see the number go down as you make progress, it's important to remember that there are many factors that can influence the number on the scale in the short term.
In this episode I'll discuss why it's always important to focus on fat loss rather than just the number on the scales as there are many reasons why your weight can fluctuate such as the amount of food in your system, glycogen, water weight, and muscle weight can all influence the number in the short term.
By paying attention to these factors and reprogramming your mind to see the scales as a tool for interpret data rather a measure of your own self worth and success, you can then start tracking progress your in a holistic way and get a more accurate picture of your progress on your weight loss journey.

Show notes

In this podcast, I'll be sharing with you how systems and environment can change our behavior, and why even when we want it most, we still can’t seem to change!

I'll be discussing 5 subtle changes in our systems that can greatly affect our behavior and prevent consistency, and sharing tips and strategies on how to combat these changes in order to develop unshakeable default behaviors that lead to long-term habit change, and ultimately, weight loss!!

We’re constantly being pulled towards the path of least resistance and actively in battle with our current habits and environment. I'll be sharing my own struggles and what I have learned on how to create good habits, combat current ones, and understand the influences that affect them.

Knowledge is power, so it’s vital we understand WHY we fail before creating strategies that ACTUALLY work.

If we want long term change, we’ve got to create systems that are easy, obvious, attractive, and satisfying, so we can actually stick to them! Join me on this journey as we uncover the hidden roadblocks that prevent consistency and learn how to overcome them.

Mediocre Goals for the New Year: My plan to do less and achieve more Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

Hey and Happy New Year!
If you've been a long time listener of this podcast you will know I love James Clear and his book 'Atomic Habits'. It's been my bible of habit change for such a long time now.
James Clear suggests that the most effective way to create lasting change and form new habits is to shift our identity and focus on becoming the type of person who embodies the habits we want to cultivate, as apposed to focusing on outcomes.
Lately I've realized I have been extremely focused on outcome goals and whilst thinking about my new year goals I've decided that I need to be OK with being mediocre, so I can do less but achieve more.
In this episode I'll be discussing 5 reasons mediocrity can help combat perfectionism and why setting mediocre goals for myself is helping me to fight all or nothing thinking and behavior and help me achieve success.

A lot of these concepts were also inspired by James Clear and Greg Mckeown and you can find the links to their books below👇

Show notes

This week I'm going to discuss how to create a system that helps develop discipline in your food choices. I’ll be explaining the 6 key things you can start today to help you develop more discipline and consistency over time.
Self-discipline is the ability to push yourself forward, stay motivated, and take action, regardless of how you're feeling, physically or emotionally.

5 weight loss myths that need to die Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Lets get into myth busting! There's so much information out there when it comes to health and wellness that it can get very confusing for us to understand. Many views are polarising, blown out of proportion, misunderstood and yet so many studies seem to back up every single opinion so you end up not being sure what to believe.
This week I will be breaking down and discussing the 5 most common health and wellness myths that I hear on a daily basis when it comes to weight loss that I feel need putting to bed once and for all.
Some of these myths include, that you need large amounts of protein, it's much harder to lose weight as you age, carbohydrates make you fat, fat makes you fat and willpower is the most important factor for weight loss.
