No one wants to sabotage their own progress, but why do we do it anyways? It may sound like: “I know how to lose weight, I just can’t keep it off”“I always self-sabotage”“What if this doesn't work for me and I gain the weight back?” It happens when we get tripped up by self-defeating thought patterns. Imagine if you could change them to more helpful lines of thinking. What would that mean for your motivation? In this episode, I call out the real reason why you are self-sabotaging your

If you’ve spent your life counting calories, obsessing over MyFitnessPal, or counting points that tell you how much you’re allowed to eat in a day in order to lose weight, you’re going to want to listen to today’s episode. Calorie counting, counting points, counting macros… it’s all the same. It’s relying on some external influence to dictate how and what you should eat.

80. Does Dieting Predict Weight Gain?

High on Life ·

2023/08/14

In this week’s episode, I talk about a topic that has been under debate for many decades. Contrary to what you may have been told, dieting is not the solution but the problem itself. Dieting is, in fact, associated with weight gain. When you start a traditional dieting program, there are many potential negative consequences that are not often advertised when you join. Restrictive diets can trigger disordered eating patterns, a negative relationship with food that could take years to heal,

What if I told you that quitting can also be a positive thing? It can actually be an empowering choice to let go of what no longer serves our purpose or aligns with our values. When it comes to dieting, quitting what isn’t working can be a positive step toward pursuing a healthier and more sustainable approach. It doesn't mean giving up on our health goals. It means letting go of harmful practices and adopting ones that truly honour our bodies. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode

Have you ever caught yourself saying “I know how to lose weight, I just can't keep it off or be consistent”? If you have tried many different diets, you have likely experienced short-term programs that you can't wait to stop, so you can go back to living.

What is the ideal human diet? In the ever-evolving landscape of weight loss and nutrition, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of an ideal human diet. We search for the perfect combination of foods, hoping to unlock the secret to weight loss. However, most of us already know the basics of nutrition and what is considered “healthy”.

Isn’t it interesting that we tend to be great at showing up for our work or social commitments, but not our own commitments to ourselves? Just like in relationships, constantly letting ourselves down will erode trust and confidence, hindering personal growth.

Stop giving away your power and personal ownership to weight loss programs (including mine!). “If I follow this program, then I'll get results” or “How is this program going to create weight loss for me?” And that's exactly what diet culture promotes. It tells you that if you follow a set of food rules perfectly, you will lose X amount of weight. The reality is, it does not feel good for any human being to have to live by someone else's externally imposed rules or value system. We will only

While most of us understand the benefits of physical activity, the burnout culture by which we are surrounded often means we struggle to implement the habits we know will serve us well.

For those who experience binging or compulsive eating, the accompanying feelings of shame, hopelessness, and a complete loss of control, are very familiar.

2023/06/05

What I often hear from my clients struggling with sleep issues and insomnia, is that they've tried absolutely everything to no avail. Traditional sleep hygiene advice like cutting screen time is difficult to implement in reality, and leads them to believe they’re “just a bad sleeper”. This feeling of hopelessness acts as a real barrier to trying anything else or taking consistent action. But if we want to maintain a healthy weight and our overall well-being, quality sleep has to be

Your stomach’s growling so loudly, you can’t ignore it any longer. When you go to check your watch, it’s only 11am. “That’s way too early for lunch, how can I be so hungry right now?!”In a panic, you grab snack after snack to try and satisfy your hunger, only to end up overeating so much you don’t want your lunch when the time comes. Instead, you end up in a cycle of shame and guilt. It's no wonder so many of us have experienced this kind of hunger denial. We live in a culture which is set
