#8 How to choose a weight loss diet

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:36:58 GMT

On this episode, I talk about the criteria I think you should have in mind when you select a weight loss diet.

I share some red flags to help you steer clear of diets that can have negative effects on your objective, your long-term weight loss success and even your health.

In the beginning, when your motivation is high, you think that just knowing what to eat will be enough. However, behavior change is not happening just by having the necessary information at your disposal. The right method to change your current habits is what most influence long-term success.

Here is what you will take away from this episode:

the red flags to help you eliminate restrictive diets or diets that can harm your metabolic rate or health
the things you should be looking for in a diet and why
how starting a weight loss program should make you feel
the place that "behavior change" must have in the overall strategy for attaining your ideal body weight

#7 Losing the lingering pregnancy weight

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 14:43:56 GMT

In this episode, I talk about whether lingering pregnancy weight is actually a real reason why some women have excess weight and find it difficult to lose it. It is something that I often hear in my practice and I want to shed some light on what mechanisms actually prevent weight loss after a certain time has passed since giving birth (1 year or more).

#4 Wanting things fast

Thu, 06 Jun 2024 14:34:57 GMT

In this episode, we will talk about how expecting to get results fast sets us up for failure, whether we are trying to eat healthily, lose weight or make other meaningful changes in our life.

While frustration when things don’t happen quickly is normal, learning how to overcome it and drawing your motivation and pride from other things can keep you going for longer periods of time.

I will also offer something else you should focus on, instead of being in a hurry to get to the final result. Your journey will be much more pleasant and the chances of success higher.

You will learn:

that the environment we evolve in teaches us to seek instant gratification for everything that we do
that mostly all things that matter require effort and time
specifically why losing weight too fast can be counterproductive and impact your ability to have a normal weight for years to come
the benefits of taking the time necessary to prepare your own meals
what you should focus on so that you keep your motivation throughout the process of changing the way you eat and losing weight sustainably
