[Back to Basics] 9 Common Doing Mistakes in Healthy Weight Loss

Are you confusing hunger with thirst or inadvertently slowing your metabolism?

In this episode, I identify 9 of the most common pitfalls in most weight loss efforts and discuss what to do instead.

Here are three key takeaways:

🔑 Listen to Your Body: Instead of relying on external rules like counting calories or portion control, become attuned to your body's natural signals—hunger, satiety, pain, fatigue and more—and honor them instead of ignoring them.

🔑 Lower Chronic Stress Levels: Chronic stress can be a major saboteur of your weight loss efforts. I identify the root cause of chronic stress and how to manage it.

🔑 Make Contingency Plans: Life happens but a lot of challenges can be anticipated. This is when having a "Plan B" helps to ensure you stay on track.

If you want to lose weight for the last time, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

[Back To Basics} The Problem with Calories In, Calories Out

In this episode, I explain what's included in the "calories in, calories out" equation and why focusing on calorie restriction and the number on your scale is a serious oversimplification of what's required to lose weight and keep it off.

More often than not, instead of shedding excess fat, your weight loss efforts may be slowing down your metabolism, and making it harder to keep weight off in the long run.

This episode highlights what wrong with dieting and sets the stage for a binge-worthy series that covers what you need to make lasting weight loss easy and inevitable.

Why You Take Things Personally (And How to Stop)

In this episode, we're talking about how sensitive and easily offended we've become, why we take things personally, and how to stop.

The infamous slap of Chris Rock by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars, in reaction to a joke he found offensive, highlights the importance of learning how to stop.

I unpack the concept of healthy boundaries, understand the balance between enmeshment and detachment, and discuss the importance of aligning with our core values to build self-worth and resilience.

I also share practical tips on how to handle triggering situations, the benefits of journaling, and why coming from a place of self-love is crucial when taking action for personal growth and self-improvement.
