9 Reasons Why I Teach What I Teach Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

What's the philosophy behind my approach to food, eating and weight?

Why did I feel called to become a coach despite being very happy with my fascinating practice as an arbitrator and mediator?

You already know that there are thousands of diets out there. And by diets I mean regimens consisting of temporary approaches to changing how much and what you eat so that you can lose weight, usually as fast as possible.

There are also lots of approaches that claim to be non-diet, or lifestyle approaches. Most of those are also really diets, like Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Paleo, Keto and Intermittent Fasting.

So why am I so passionate about the Weight Loss for Foodies method? Why is it more effective than any of those options? Why can actually make you happier? Hint: it isn't because you'll lose weight.

Listen to learn the nine reasons why I feel like an anti-diet evangelist for this program.

I'm going to be opening the doors to my Weight Loss for Foodies group program in early January, so if you want to be notified, make sure you click on the link below and get on the waitlist!

How to Really Enjoy the Holidays Without Overeating Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

It doesn't matter whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, the New Year or any of the many celebrations this time of year. You know there will be lots of food. 'Tis the season for lots of food.

Do you associate certain foods with this time of year? Maybe it's the only time of year you eat potato latkes or roast turkey with stuffing and gravy or pumpkin pie.

Although the restrictive diet mind associates having an abundance of delicious, special food available for the holidays with overeating and feeling out of control around food, I can assure you don't have to feel that way. I actually enjoy the holidays even more since I stopped gorging myself every time! It's so much easier to have fun when you don't feel like the stuffed turkey!

Yes, I used to routinely eat too much during the holidays. I know how you feel.

I also know how you can change your mindset so that you don't feel out of control and don't overindulge.

LISTEN to learn how to navigate Thanksgiving and other holidays and occasions in a healthy, even more enjoyable way.

It isn't giving up carbs or sugar.

To Change Your Weight, Change Your Identity Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

Does that sound like a strange topic for a podcast?

Am I going to teach you how to transform from Clark Kent into Superman?

From Peter Parker into Spiderman?

Not THAT kind of identity change.

It's about working with your subconscious mind to create your subconscious identity as a person who is naturally slim. You don't have to wait until you lose weight to view yourself and act like someone who is naturally slim. In fact, your chances of success will be much greater if you start being that person right now.

You have to stop thinking of yourself as an overweight person who struggles to lose weight and develop an identity that will support your goals!

So listen to learn how to change your subconscious brain, which is where your current identity resides, into one that matches that naturally slim person deep inside you!

In this episode, you'll learn about the role of your subconscious mind and how it can work against your efforts at weight management and other things in life. But don't despair!

Your brain is the most powerful tool you have, and you can learn how to use it to change your subconscious programming and consequently, change your results.

THE Question to Ask When You Want to Eat But Aren't Hungry Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Do you associate eating with hunger? Or do you eat for all kinds of other reasons?

The reason we feel hunger is because that is our body's way of telling us it needs fuel. If we eat when we're hungry and stop when lightly full, our body gets the amount of food it needs to be a healthy weight. When we do that, we can eat the foods we love without dieting or deprivation and not gain weight

But most people don't eat this way, and that has a lot to do with epidemic levels of overweight and obesity these days. In our culture, we're encouraged to eat when we aren't hungry and overeat by many sources, especially companies marketing their food products and family members.

If you want to stop eating for those non-hunger reasons, and stop obsessing over your food choices, I've got a simple way to do that.

There's one question you need to ask yourself when you feel the urge to eat but aren't hungry.

Listen to learn what that question is and how to apply it to your life.

How to Eat Well By Menu Planning Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

I never anticipated doing a podcast on this topic.

My focus as a coach is on teaching foodies :

HOW to eat: in tune with your body's hunger and fullness signals, consciously, savoring your food; and
WHY you eat: when your body needs food, which is when you're hungry, and not to avoid difficult emotions or dealing with our problems

I don't tell you WHAT to eat. That's because that's your body's job. When you listen to it, your body tells you what to eat. Plus most of you already know about nutrition and want to eat a primarily healthy diet.

But a few listeners have asked how I plan my meals. Given that I want to help you develop a peaceful relationship with food and eating, eating well and enjoying your food is a big part of that. And decent meal planning can help.

So here it is!

I try not to be one of those podcasters who spends the first 10 or 15 minutes of each episode talking about myself. You have better things to do with your time. But if you want to know how I plan my meals, you need to know something about my life.

The reason for that is that how you plan meals is a personality thing. We all have different levels of organization, so if what I do doesn't sound like it can fit in your life, that's fine.

Listen below to learn how to plan your weekly meals so that you can eat and live deliciously, and save some cash in the process.

"That's Just the Way I am!" is a Big Lie Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Do you ever think or say to others, "That's just the way I am"?

Do you believe that you can't change certain things about yourself or your life, even though it is holding you back?

Do you believe that certain characteristics or habits are just part of your personality, and that you have no ability to change?

Are you afraid to try something new because you might not be good at it?

If that describes you, the good news is that you're absolutely wrong! Being wrong can sometimes be a good thing.

You see, "That's just the way I am" is one of the biggest lies you can tell yourself.

It's merely an excuse to avoid doing something that you CAN do, but find hard.

I want you to challenge that belief because it's keeping you stuck in any number of ways, including being stuck in your old eating habits and at a weight that may not be healthy.

Listen to learn about the two mindsets people how, which one results in more success and happiness, and how to get that mindset so that you can achieve your goals. Carol Dweck, the author of the book Mindset, says, "Change can be tough, but I've never heard anyone say it wasn't worth it."

6 Questions to Ask to End Emotional Eating Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

Have you ever thought about the tiny number of things over which we have actual control?

There are so many things in life that go on regardless of us "doing" anything to make them happen. Trees get leaves and plants grow. It rains. The leaves fall off. The earth turns on its axis.

Our bodies do amazing things every minute of every day without us having to direct them. Our hearts beat. We breathe. We don't have to think, "time to release some gastrin so I have enough acid in my stomach to digest my lunch!"

Yet we waste a lot of energy trying to control the things that we can't. Like our partner's behavior, or what other people think and do. Then we allow our inability to control these things make us miserable.

The flip side is that we don't take control over the things in our lives that are within our control!

As a weight loss coach, I see how this seriously interferes with our ability to lose weight and keep it off. It's because instead of controlling something that is within our control--how we think--we keep trying to control things we can't.

Listen to learn the 6 questions to ask yourself to manage how you think. It's not only the key to a happy life but is also the key to losing weight and keeping it off.

If you're really ready to kick the habit, check out my eCourse, 30 Days to End Emotional Eating Forever. You can find more information about it on my website and in the show notes.

Don't Postpone Living Until You're Thinner Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

Have you chosen to "sit out" doing the things you want to do until you've lost weight?

Skipped a big event or a day at the beach because you don't look the way you think you should?

Why? What do you think will be different when you reach your weight goal?

When I ask my clients these questions, they say things like:

I'll be happier.
I'll be able to go to the beach.
I'll be able to buy clothes I love.
I'll have more self-confidence.

Really? I wonder. I ask them questions like:

Why can't you be happier now?
Why can't you go to the beach now?
Why can't you buy clothes you love now?
Why can't you have more self-confidence now?

There really is no reason why you can't have all of those things now, regardless of your current weight.

Putting off living until you lose the weight is actually approaching it backwards.

Listen to learn how you can change your mindset and live your best life NOW to make losing weight easier.
