158. "Eat everything in moderation"? No thanks! Jan 21, 2024

Show notes

Have you been told that eating "everything in moderation" is part of a healthy, balanced diet?
But what if you can't moderate certain foods? Like sugar?
Many of us can't... and we feel guilty and ashamed that we can't "moderate". We feel like we're broken, or we just don't have enough willpower.
In this episode, you'll learn that if your experience is that you can't moderate sugar or certain types of foods, it's not your fault!
Many of us feel freer when we DON'T moderate!
So we're going to bust the myth of "eat everything in moderation"!

157. "I was tired of feeling tired": Steve Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

Steve Campbell played sports growing up, but an injury in high school caused him to gain weight.
His dad was a bodybuilder and gave him an example of discipline with fitness and eating. But he struggled to maintain that himself.
Steve tried all kinds of diets, including keto. He would be very disciplined during the week but have "cheat days" on weekends where he overindulged. At night when exhausted, he would reach for unhealthy comfort foods and overeat.
Steve stumbled across the Life After Sugar podcast and it spoke to him. His outlook changed. He cut out all sugar for 2 weeks and also introduced intermittent fasting.
He lost 5-6 pounds quickly and has seen reduced headaches and more energy.
Now when he feels in control around food, it frees him up mentally to be fully present with his family and others.
He wants to live an extremely long life with his wife and kids. This motivates his health choices. Find Steve's podcast One Big Thing here and Ditch the Suits here.

156. "I had to reframe how I see sugar": Sandhya Jan 07, 2024

Show notes

Sandhya is a pharmacist in Australia.
In 2019 she started getting symptoms of breathlessness and palpitations. So she went to the doctor and got everything checked out, but the only thing they could find was that she was pre-diabetic, so her doctor told her she needed to lose some weight.
She recognized that she overate, particularly sugary things.
So she decided to do a self-hypnosis course for 6 weeks with guidelines on how to cut out sugar, and it was life-changing for her.
Sandhya managed to change her entire diet to not include added sugar. She experimented with substituting one ingredient for another, so it wasn't too overwhelming. Plus her husband jumped on board and they both lost weight!
And the most important aspect in her transformation was that she was able to reframe how she sees sugar. Sandhya says that she hasn't been able to go back to eating sugar because as soon as her symptoms come back, she wonders: why am I putting myself through this?

Not eating sugar has become part of Sandhya's identity. She says: "I feel so much more free because I'm creating the identity I want around sugar. "

153. Mindset tips to feel confident this holiday season: Karen Dec 17, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, my guest Karen gives some valuable mindset tips to help you feel more confident this holiday season... and all year round!
We talk about:

How language and mindset are critical - how we talk to ourselves affects our actions. Karen gives some examples of empowering language.
How to avoid "good" and "bad" food labeling as it leads to guilt and negative self-talk.
How to be kind to yourself and focus on feeling good, rather than aesthetics or numbers on a scale.
How to keep blood sugar stable with protein, fat, and fiber before carbs and sugar.
Why trying a short fast - even 12 hours - can help prevent blood sugar spikes and reduce cravings.
Why intermittent fasting is flexible, not restrictive.

Karen explains how intermittent fasting is customizable to your lifestyle, with no strict rules.
Wouldn't you love to focus on feeling vibrant and healthy versus looking a certain way?

149. "Food addiction is not your fault": Amanda Nov 19, 2023

Show notes

Amanda Leith struggled with weight problems for most of her life.
She tried all the diets, exercise classes, and therapy. The solution, she was told, was either, “Eat less and exercise more,” or, “Work on your emotional issues with a good therapist.”
She'd even had weight loss surgery... which had completely failed because she couldn’t follow the "everything in moderation" diet.
It was only when Amanda got the right help to recognize that she was a food addict that her life changed.
Amanda shares how when she found out she was addicted to certain foods, especially sugar and flour, she felt relieved. At last - she understood that her food addiction wasn't her fault!
She found HER solution, and now she works with people every day to help lift them out of the trenches of food obsession and addiction.
