Lately, I’ve been talking about why you need to think about the cause of your weight instead of the effect. Your thoughts have a massive impact on your weight. However, we are only told that what we eat and what we do will impact our weight. It’s only part of the story. Our thoughts and our feelings will precede what we eat and what we do. Also, 95% of our decisions come from our subconscious programs. Our brain will save us time by automating as much as possible. So, it’s time that we reach into our subconscious and rewire our thought patterns.Listen in this week as I give the ultimate analogy to this concept and learn how moles will change the way you think about weight loss forever!Find the Free Class mentioned in the episode here: https://laurenkoski.lpages.co/free-class/To join SHIFT: Click here.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.

Why are diets still thriving in 2020?We all know that diets don’t actually work. I don’t know anyone that says, “diets are amazing, and I love them!” There is loads of research on diets, and actually, 95% of diets fail. Meaning, the dieter gains the weight back (or even more weight) within one to five years.When people diet, they experience many negative short-term and often long-term effects, including:Obsession with foodStress and anxiety around foodLack of energyLack of focusOvereatingReactive overeating So, why are millions of people on a diet at any given time? Why are we still giving money to the industry that has failed us over and over again? There are a few reasons that people choose to go on diets even though they know that they don’t work:You think it’s your fault that it doesn’t work for you. When you go on a diet, it works for a week, a month, or six months. Then, it stops working, and people blame themselves. Other reasons people think it’s not their fault: The marketing of diet companies. We can literally see the diet working through before and after photos. However, that’s not the whole story. Some of those photos are not even legit! The ones that are real are typically taken in the short-term. It’s much less common to see photos one year, three years, or five years after the diet. Diets work for 5% of people. Those people will tell everyone around them that this diet will work. However, you’ll notice that these people had thought shifts first. If you go on a diet without changing thoughts and feelings, then it will not work. You don’t know what else to do. People think that cutting calories and exercise are the only ways to lose weight. So, people will go back to dieting because they have already tried the non-dieting approaches. At least with diets, people will see weight-loss in the beginning.Dieting is easy. Dieting, while totally miserable, is easy and straightforward. There is nothing your brain loves more than something easy and straightforward.

Welcome to The Weight Loss Shift Podcast! In this episode we are talking about how feelings drive behaviors and what this means for you tangibly in your life. Humans are motivated to act based on their emotions. We make decisions largely based on our emotions. What we eat, what we do, etc. are all determined by how we feel. Humans have an innate desire to seek pleasure, avoid pain and conserve energy.What this means is your actions are not the root cause of your weight loss results. Your actions are the effect of your preceding thoughts and feelings. This is a main reason diets fail. Diets focus on your actions. Actions are a piece of the puzzle but only a small piece of the puzzle. Until you change your thinking, your results will not change long term.

I define thoughts as the sentences in our brain. But they aren’t just sentences in our brain.Every thought we think creates a biochemical reaction and changes how we feel IN our bodies.

If you ask your grandmother or great grandmother what the macro breakdown of an egg or chicken breast was, she’d probably look at you with a blank stare. But ask any modern dieter and they likely have the answer.1 large egg: 70 Calories. Fat: 5 grams, Protein: 6 grams, Carbs: 0.You’d think that knowing more about nutrition would lead to better health outcomes; however, look at the stats and you’ll see (depending on what exactly you're looking for) many lifestyle diseases, and definitely obesity rates have increased substantially in the last 50 years.Could it be our cultural paradigm shift into Nutritionism?Listen in to learn what nutritionism is, how it impacts us all, and what to do about it!Find the Free Class mentioned in the episode here: https://laurenkoski.lpages.co/free-class/To join SHIFT: Click here.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, I'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway.
