How to make a weight loss system that is EASY, OBVIOUS, and ATTRACTIVE - Instagram LIVE Replay May 12, 2022

Show notes

I struggled with my weight for almost 10 years. I was miserable and unhappy and after many failed diets, too many rules and too much restriction, I thought it was time to do something that was sustainable, easy, obvious and attractive! That's when I finally found a solution that worked for me. I was able to lose 40lbs and become the leanest I have ever been if my life even after having 2 kids! The method I'm going to be talking about is tried and tested across my course Lean with Plants where hundreds of women have managed to lose weight just by using the same systems.
Learning about how weight loss works is a small piece of the puzzle. You may know what you should be doing, but it's implementing what you know that's the hardest part! The missing piece for a lot of women is building a strong habit foundation on a consistent basis that help you become the kind of person who is able to accomplish your weight loss goals.
Do you struggle to stay on track even though you know what to eat? Do you feel you have an all or nothing mindset and once you fail, you revert back to old eating habits? In this episode I'm going to discuss why habits are so important, and how to use them to build systems that make your weight loss easy, obvious and attractive so you can become more consistent and finally start shedding those pounds!
Remember this is not a bout willpower, it's not about someone else being better at it than you. It's about finding a system that works for for you! You are not broken and you are certainly not a failure. There are many different ways of implementing new systems and habits that can work for you. Listen to this episode so I can give you the kickstart you need to finally have the food freedom that I now have.
I also take some questions at the end! I hope the Q&A is super helpful for you!

What running everyday for 70 days has taught me about habits Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

I started a challenge with some friends where I would commit to running 5km a day for 90 consecutive days. It's now day 77 of the challenge and I’ve managed to run 5km every single day for 77 days and counting.
In this episode, I discuss what I’ve learnt about habit formation and the many behavioural hacks this challenge has taught me along the way. All of which, have made it possible for me to continue running for 70+ days, even when I was struggling and just wanted to give up.
There are 4 important steps to how our brain forms habits; the cue, the craving, the response and the reward, all of which I will explain in this episode and how our behaviour is shaped by them.
When you understand how habits are formed and you start to see the power of using behavioural tools to hack your habits, you will think about behaviour in a completely different way.
I'm hoping you can starting using these ideas and hacks so you can begin designing a system that works for you. A system that enables you to follow through with doing those things that may seem too far out of your reach, because you'll equipped with the knowledge and tools to make it much easier for you to achieve success.
I HIGHLY recommend reading the book Atomic Habits by James Clear to understand more about how you can hack your habits through behavioural change.

How Bree lost 37 pounds, transformed her habits, and ran 1250 kms! Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

In this episode I have the privilege to talk to Bree who shares her amazing story about how she managed to transform her life, change her daily habits and lose 37lbs since beginning her weight loss journey. It was Bree who inspired me to run 5km a day, as she was able to run 5km a day for 250 consecutive days, which in total is 1250kms, that's absolutely incredible!
In this episode Bree shares it all. How she managed to grow trust and confidence in herself to lose weight, how long it took her to get results and the small daily habit changes that helped lead her to massive results!
Her story just blows me away because it is so powerful what can happen when you decide to look forward to the future, not look back at past failures that have been holding you back and continue to push forward making daily improvements that get you closer to that person you want to become. Bree has mastered the foundational habits that has enabled her to master her life and we both believe that it's possible for you too!

How I stopped the binge eating cycle Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

Are you a self proclaimed binge eater? Maybe you’ve tried various diets, severely lowered your calorie intake, staved yourself, gone to bed hungry and yet no matter what you still just can’t seem to get out of the never ending binge eating cycle.

In this episode I talk about my personal struggle with binge eating and how I was able to stop the cycle of binging on food, lose 40 lbs, and maintain the best figure I’ve had in my adult life.

Now I have the freedom to eat as much as I want without the fear of binging. I hope this episode empowers you to take back control, so you can develop a better relationship with food and build the habits that are going to get you the weight loss results you want.

How I cope in survival mode & how to not let stress derail your progress Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

With everything that's happening in the world right now, it can be very difficult to focus on the things that we used to see as 'important' but may now may seem 'less important'.
The thing is, when you put all your focus on issues that are outside of your control, your overall influence on those issues ends up shrinking, as you become less focused on the things that also actually matter to you.
I want to say, it's okay to not be okay sometimes and worry about things beyond our control because we are human with emotions, but we all know that when anxiety and stress they take over and influence our ability to cope, work, eat healthy then we need to have a strategy to deal with it.
So in this episode, I'll be discussing a great way to help you cope with whats happening in the world and how to not let outside factors (such as stress, war, injustice) derail your progress, by explaining the 3 key things that have helped me deal with stressful times and still maintain a high level of consistency.
