Today we recorded a follow up Q & A Episode with the brilliant Dr. Elizabeth Bright After my long rambling intro as these are HUGE topics near and dear to my personal journey... here is the big list of our questions we dive into today: 1. What to do is test with high cortisol vs. low cortisol + low thyroid? 2. Who needs iodine? Why? How much? 3. Butter… what are the benefits 4. Do we need to do fasting for cell autophagy? 5. Do we need to be in nutritional ketosis? How long? 6. I have amenorrhea. How much fat should I eat? I can't eat butter because I have a leaky gut and butter gives me indigestion and my stomach bloats. What fat is best for me? 7. Why in carnivore can triglycerides rise? 8. I have been doing high fat carnivores for a year now. My hormones have gotten so much better. I am sleeping great, and sex isn't painful anymore. I am still having trouble building muscle and my skin is a little creepy. Lost skin and muscle tone after a few years is chronic stress. a. Is it possible to tighten the skin and what do you suggest I do to build muscle? b. I lift weights 2-3 x week and no more cardio: just movement. 9. What are the clearest tests for checking hormones if weight loss is a challenge? a. How long on carnivore should one give to start experience changes in hormone balance? b. What role does cortisol play in hormone balance particularly when weight loss is an issue? c. What is the ideal balance of high fat/low carb eating, fasting or not fasting, weight training act for women in their 40s? 10. Zero carb for too long spiking cortisol… some people have suggested tactical carb intake before and during cycle as well as Sally Norton suggestion the combination of oxalate dumping along with zero carb might trigger a cortisol issue and suggesting similar. 11. Is it normal problem for large weight fluctuations? At 24 BMI now and can't seem to hold it there or get the last 10 lbs. off at age 62 12. Fasted workouts -resistance training yes or no? 13. If I have a sluggish liver and gallbladder – along with Hashimoto's, what is recommended in order to have high fat diet? 14. I am finding it very difficult to lose weight in peri menopause and actually gaining weight. Am I eating too much fat? Too many calories? What is good amount of fat during this phase? I recently heard women on another podcast say she ate less fat. I just started working out (strength training) but that scale won't budge. Thank you. 15. I have been on carnivore for a few months now. I recently let go of dairy which I really enjoyed because I wasn't feeling well but not I am noticing that I am losing interest in my food and getting very bored with it. I loved nuts which I consumed while on keto. Although, I know they are not carnivore what are your thoughts on incorporating them into the diet and how would they possibly affect me (nuts).

How can we enjoy this time of life? There 45*/is a plethora of confusing and misleading information out there about menopause: what to take, what to eat.  Women may begin to wonder: is there something wrong with our bodies?

Sarah laughed at God when He said she was going to have a baby. Certainly she was too old! The Prodigal Son decided to go back to his father in the capacity of a slave. Certainly he had made too many mistakes and was too full of shame to be restored as a son! Zacchaeus was a notorious sinner who just wanted to get a peak at Jesus, but Jesus wanted to go to his house for dinner. Certainly Zacchaeus was too rich and set in his evil ways for God to turn him around and use him. It's never too late to turn to God. You are never too young or too old, too full of sin or shame, too weak or downcast, or too far gone for God to fill you up with His love and turn you into a new creation.

What exactly is your Body Mass Index number telling you about your health?

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog BioBalance® Health uses other forms of measurement to determine body composition, and to diagnose healthy weight, versus overweight and obesity. BMI is a calculation of healthy weight, overweight, and obesity using just two parameters: Height and Weight. The US government endorses and uses this measurement in many ways to manage citizens, categorize them and even pay their salaries.  The AMA has been using this as a measurement of body health for decades. As of July 2023, the AMA is rejecting this measurement of health and illness. Calculate your BMI Go to https://www.calculator.net/bmi-calculator.html and you can calculate your own BMI. Below is a chart that many types of companies and people use as a reliable measurement to use for many purposes.  Below is the NIH explanation of BMI.  You can find your BMI and corollate it with how lean your body is. The Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator can be used to calculate BMI value and corresponding weight status while taking age into consideration. Use the “Metric Units” tab for the International System of Units or the “Other Units” tab to convert units into either US or metric units. Note that the calculator also computes the Ponderal Index in addition to BMI, both of which are discussed below in detail. BMI introduction BMI is a measurement of a person's leanness or corpulence based on their height and weight and is intended to quantify tissue mass. It is widely used as a general indicator of whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height. Specifically, the value obtained from the calculation of BMI is used to categorize whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese depending on what range the value falls between. These ranges of BMI vary based on factors such as region and age and are sometimes further divided into subcategories such as severely underweight or very severely obese. Being overweight or underweight can have significant health effects, so while BMI is an imperfect measure of healthy body weight, it is a useful indicator of whether any additional testing or action is required. Refer to the table below to see the different categories based on BMI that are used by the calculator. Nurses have understood the fallacy of using BMI to judge whether a patient is overweight or not for decades, but the AMA and medical specialty societies have defended its use for as long as I have been in medical practice.  However, BMI is a crude way to evaluate patients for obesity and we use a more accurate measure, a true body composition from an InBody® machine to determine exactly how much fat, muscle, and water our patients are made of and if they need to lose fat for their health. This true measurement of body composition gives us an accurate measurement of your percent body fat, weight of your muscle and your visceral fat (belly fat) measurement. You may say, “so what?”, but I'll give you a few examples of how BMI is an INACCURATE measurement to follow for healthcare and for insurance, and other agencies that require employees to be a certain weight for their height. In my practice I take care of two men whose height is exactly the same, 5-10 (70 inches), both weigh 200 lbs., and they both have a BMI of 28.69 which is considered overweight (normal is < 25). However, the two men are very different in their body compositions and therefore their health risks:  Man number one has very little muscle and 30% body fat and is overweight and therefore is at risk for diseases that accompany obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.  Man number two has a very muscular build with heavy bones and has a body fat of 19% and looks lean and is healthy and is not at risk for hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. The BMI makes them the same, and therefore their doctors and employers consider them the same for insurance, treatment of their illnesses and categorization in medical studies that determine the qualities that put patients at risk for diseases.  Therefore, BMI is a very bad measurement to judge whether a person is at risk for diseases of obesity. The medical industry is big and slow, and this measurement will not be replaced with something else in the near future, however this gives you a basis for challenging the measurement as a basis for promotion, or a reason to deny you insurance or charge you more for insurance.  At Bio balance® Health we have used % body fat and abdominal visceral fat determined by a body composition machine (InBody) as our only measurements to determine future risk, and to determine whether someone requires weight loss treatment or not. BMI is very unfair to those people who are required to maintain a healthy weight for their jobs.  Those men and women who are in the armed forces cannot be promoted in rank unless they have a BMI of 25 or less, however the training that is required and the strength and stamina to be in the active military means that they must work out and exercise to build muscle, which then disqualifies them from promotion because it causes them to gain weight, but healthy weight. Using the BMI as a measurement, can cause a person to be disqualified for promotion because they are well muscled! Not only the US military discriminates against people with high BMI due to high percentage of muscle mass, the life insurance and health insurance industry does as well! A person is labeled obese and therefore “high risk” for illness and death just because they have a high percentage of muscle mass which is healthy, and not a risk. This makes some fit people uninsurable or increases what their life and health insurance costs. The worst discrimination by BMI discriminates against genetically highly muscled groups of people. The BMI was created using white males and white females making them the standard, however some genetic groups from African, Hispanics, Italians and other groups of people from Mediterranean and middle eastern heritage are discriminated against because they have a higher percentage of muscle and bone mass normally, compared with Caucasians, eastern Indians, and Asians, therefore using the BMI causes these groups to look “fatter” when they are really more muscled with thicker bones, which is healthier, not a higher risk for illness.   Obviously, people with high muscle mass can still be obese, but it should not be determined by height and weight alone. This decision by the AMA has been a long time coming, and the number of people who have been harmed by this method of determining obesity is incalculable. BMI is just a measurement based on height and weight.  For some average height and weight people, it is an accurate evaluation of normal body weight vs obesity. However, most people have various degrees of muscle mass, and it is the amount of muscle mass that skews the BMI measurement and judges some people as “obese” when they are at a healthy weight, and others are considered normal weight and composition even when they have a high body fat content and very little muscle.   AMA urges physicians to rethink use of BMI calculation The American Medical Association voted this week to recommend that physicians not rely solely on body mass index as a way to evaluate whether a person is at a healthy weight, as there may be biases and inaccuracies inherent in the method. The AMA recommended that physicians also take into account visceral fat, body adiposity index, metabolic and genetic factors, and fat, bone and muscle percentage. Dr. Scott Hagan of the University of Washington termed BMI “a very poor measure of general health,” adding, “Someone with an elevated BMI may be perfectly healthy.” Full Story: The New York Times (6/15)

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Every physician and every overweight patient have struggled with achieving effective weight loss that was effective for most people, until now!  Almost simultaneously 6 weight loss drugs hit the market approved by the FDA for different uses.  The only drug approved for just weight loss is called Wegovy, a once-a-week injection that causes loss of appetite as well as a feeling of fullness when only a fraction of volume of an American meal is eaten.  It also works by limiting the hormone glucagon that dumps stored blood sugar into the blood when blood sugar levels get low, and it decreases the craving that many overweight patients complain of. The majority of overweight people have been eating a high carbohydrate diet filled with sugared soda, bread, pasta, cereals, candy, cake, cookies, chips, crackers etc.  This is the average American diet, and it is killing us! Years of eating this diet has made us fat and insulin resistant, as well as malnourished. Humans need food for fuel, and we have made it into entertainment! We need a varied diet of proteins, fats, and carbs. Our genetics dictates how much of each group we need; however, the one size fits all mentality of the FDA and the US government has led citizens to believe that cereal and bread is the basis for diet because America grows grain and sells it to our citizens…it is a diet based on GNP not our metabolism. Simply said this has left most children and adults obese and fatigued because they are not getting the right nutrition from their food intake.  Now we have to work backward, and the insurers of this country will not pay for the drugs we need to reverse the process. The drugs above are all variations of the generic name Semaglutide.  The only drug that is different is Mounjaro or Tirzepide. It is more effective for treatment of diabetes and obesity, however Ozempic and the only oral version, Rybelsus, are also effective for both Diabetes and weight loss.  We generally prescribe Wegovy for weight loss without diabetes, and we can try to get it approved by insurance for weight loss. However, this is generally not approved. The requirements for insurance to pay for these drugs for weight loss includes: BMI over 30 Two other illnesses that are associated with being overweight, eg hypertension, heart disease, prediabetes. Even with these requirements fulfilled they usually don't pay for it!  The price is $ 1,500 for one month!  Three months is around $4,500.  This is prohibitive for everyone. To solve this access problem, Dr Sullivan has contacted several compounding pharmacies who will make the drug for weekly self-injection at a much lower price!  The price is $540 for 3 months compared to $4,500. We have been recommending this avenue when we cannot get the drug paid for.  The only difference is that patients must draw up the small amount of semaglutide in an insulin syringe and inject themselves with a needle instead of a “pen”. This is the way we have been accessing this medication for our patients and we have seen unbelievable results!  People who could never lose weight are losing and very obese patients who did not have the staying power to continue dieting to get appreciable weight loss are now approaching ideal weight. The only people who cannot take this medication are those with a history of a specific type of thyroid cancer or a disease of the endocrine system called MEN II.  You know it if you have one of these rare problems. Others love to eat so much that limiting their intake is a problem for them. Special Cases: Those people who genetically are “never full”, or “always hungry”, this is the drug for them to make them feel full for the first time in their life…..  Obesity from never feeling full or always hungry is genetic.   Dr. Maupin: “I never understood those kids and adults who had to eat 24-seven or who could eat 2-3 plates of dinner. .I just had never walked in their shoes until I was pregnant…At that time in my life being 118 lbs and 5-3  when I got pregnant I never could catch up by eating enough calories to feed both of us. I felt full at the beginning of a meal but was always hungry, so I had to eat every 30 or 40 minutes.  I was hungry all the time!  It literally ruled my life, and it made me think about food all the time.  I felt like I was in a prison of low blood sugar restricting my activities. NOW I understand how terrible a genetic albatross having the “never full” or “always hungry” is! Except for pregnancy, I know that inherited genetics make some people always hungry, and others never feel full, and my heart goes out to them.  These GLP-1 drugs work well for people with these genes. PS.  I was thrilled to deliver my daughter, and it was both the happiest day of my life to see our beautiful baby, but I was also so relieved not to be hungry anymore!” If you have this genetic issue, then this classification of drug is for you! You will be able to get to ideal weight and you will have to stay on a maintenance dose to keep your weight at ta healthy level. How do you go off these meds when you have reached your ideal weight? We have our patients decrease their dose per week until they start to be able to eat reasonably. Sometimes we can't get our patients off the medication completely, but the cost is much lower because a 3-month dose will now last 3-6 months. We like to team up Testosterone pellets with semaglutide treatment for older women to make sure they don't lose muscle instead of fat. The T-pellets help patients become lean, and preferentially lose fat, not fat and muscle. What you can do with the medications to make them work faster, more effectively: Exercise daily for 45 minutes or more—normal life activity is not exercise!  Walking briskly means you can't talk and walk at the same time. Eat a low carbohydrate (know what that means), NO SUGAR, high protein diet with a lot of vegetables and fruits of every color 3 times a day. Snacks can be veggies, nuts, cheese, yogurt, eggs, and or fresh fruit. No baked goods, no crackers, bread, junk food or fast food. High protein diet means eating as many grams of protein as your weight in lbs if you are active.  Eat ½ of that in protein if you are not actively exercising that day. A delicious protein powder that actually tastes good is Phormula #1. I like the mint ice cream sandwich flavor….I can eat that as a meal substitute blended with fruit 3 meals a day. Drink filtered water and lots of it! At least 64 fl oz a day. No alcohol If you want to lose weight in certain spots like your waist or your thighs, I use the EmSculpt fat destroyer with skin tightening. For those of you who have had trouble with your weight or have had trouble losing it and keeping it off, then BioBalance Health Weight Loss program is for you!

Welcome to season 5!! This episode we have the marvelous Dr Sara Wickham back in the cauldron with us talking all about what's in her new book Plus Size Pregnancy. Sara talks to us about:·      How women and families want, need and deserve better answers to their many questions about higher BMI and birth, and that midwives and birth workers need to know what the evidence says. ·      Clarification of what is the BMI and as Sara says “it's a racist, sexist, classist” index created for complete different reason than for health! ·      We look at why a higher BMI comes with so many tests and limitations for birth and Sara talks us through the existing evidence.·      Are women with a high BMI more at risk of caesarean section, and if so what are the real reasons behind this?·      Why the phrase morbid obesity is utter nonsense and rooted in a much darker context.·      Sara delves into diet culture, it's myths and the marketing behind it. ·      Weight bias and fat shaming in healthcare.·      And why using BMI is problematic in maternity care.You'll hear all this and much more in this fabulous episode.

The Queer Family Podcast | S13 EP10 | Chelsea and Megan share their journey to parenthood as a trans woman and cis woman couple. They met online, u-hauled it (in true lesbian fashion), and quickly began their queer baby-making process. After trying the “natural” way for quite some time, they decided to switch to fertility treatments. After a long journey filled with insurance drama, unfair BMI biases, and body dysmorphia they finally successfully conceived their son, Jameson through IVF. They discuss their emotional pregnancy, including Chelsea's process of transcending her yearning to experience pregnancy and childbirth by embarking on the path of inducing lactation. Their resilience and determination in the face of adversity serve as a walking, breathing testament to the intentionality and love that drive queer parents everywhere, proving that love is love, and the kids are truly going to be all right. "We met online prior to Chelsea's transition. She told me on our third date." - Megan “So they said I was going to have to lose about at least 20 pounds to qualify for their loophole process, which was to go to another state to do the egg retrieval.” Megan If you like the episode, make sure to leave us a review and support The Queer Family Podcast on Patreon for as low as $2/month!

What if your perception of being healthy is out of sync with true wellness? My good friend and colleague, Rachel Li, and I are taking a fresh look at the robust concept of health beyond the conventional norms.  We move past the physical aspects and unfold the intricate web of factors contributing to well-being - life choices, accessibility, family dynamics, and even economic status. Rachel and I delve into the interlocking pillars of health - physical, emotional, social, intellectual, psychological and economic health - and their undeniable impact on our well-being. We highlight the pivotal role of regular health check-ups, the distinction of health beyond BMI, and the influential practice of gratitude.   As we venture into the realm of emotional and mental health, we discuss the potent influence of food and the subsequent fear of losing control. Here, we introduce mindful eating as an effective strategy to manage these anxieties and ensure a healthy relationship with food.In our engaging discussion, we also shed light on the significant role of mental and emotional health in achieving overall wellness. We underline that fear and anxiety can hinder progress towards better physical health and how resilience can be enhanced by allowing ourselves to make mistakes and learn from them. Join us as we redefine the concept of health, shifting the focus from the mere absence of disease to a holistic, balanced, and empowering view of wellness.You can find Rachel atInstagram: @lirachel_nutrition  @rxrnutrition Website: rachel-nutrition.comSupport the show YOU CAN FIND ME AT Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube COACHING One2One Coaching One Off Consults ________________________ FREE E-BOOK - “The best way to eat on Night shift” IN-HOUSE SEMINARS - Enquire Here _____________________ Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.

Weight loss goals can be really motivating, but it can also be hard to toe the line between healthy goals and unrealistic goals set by social media. In this episode, I'm sharing how to determine what your weight loss goals should be, how to make those goals measurable, and how to determine what a healthy weight looks like for you. Whatever your goal weight is, our 3-month Lifestyle Reset Program can help you build the habits to reach it! Click here to learn more about this 1:1 program with one of our registered dietitians. Links mentioned: Nutrition Today: A Critical Review of Obesity, BMI, and Health Pitfalls of Using BMI in Assessment of Obesity Risk Waste-Height Ratios as Predictors of High Coronary Risk Some key takeaways from this episode include: One of the biggest success indicators for our clients is confidence. Our clients who show confidence and high self-worth in any aspect of their life had more success losing weight in our program. Saying you want to be “healthier overall,” is fine, but can be very subjective and difficult to measure. Some more measurable goals might be decreasing your body fat percentage, increasing your energy levels, or getting out of the “overweight” BMI range. Holding fat around your belly can have a lot of negative health impacts, so measuring your waist as you start implementing healthy habits is another great way to track your progress.   Hi! I'm Illa (MS, RDN) and I am a Registered Dietitian who provides weight loss coaching for millennials. There are so many health companies and fad diets out there that want to convince you to buy their products, but I'm here to show you that you don't need any products to lose weight!

In this pivotal episode, Dr. Moss and his son, Ben, shed light on new insights into Vitamin D's role in cancer prevention, based on data from a study published in 2019. While the original research concluded that Vitamin D had no significant impact on cancer incidence, a meticulous reevaluation of the same data has revealed something crucial: Body Mass Index (BMI) plays a significant role in the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation for cancer prevention. Specifically, those with a 'normal' BMI showed a significant reduction in the incidence of advanced and metastatic cancers. Dr. Moss and Ben explore why these game-changing results haven't received the media attention they deserve and what this could mean for natural cancer prevention strategies.

King Solomon, who wrote the book we are studying in this series, Ecclesiastes, was most likely the wealthiest man to ever live. He had it all. Everything money could buy, he had it. And yet he writes this in Ecclesiastes 5:10-11, 15:“Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth—except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!…We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can't take our riches with us."There is nothing inherently wrong with money. There's nothing wrong with even having lots of money. The problem is when money has us, when we long for it and believe that it can provide us with happiness and meaning. But while money can never provide me with meaning, I can find a meaning in money.

Building a small rental unit on your property is a great way to create passive income, but housing experts say that accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, can also help solve the nation's housing crisis. And there are a growing number of states that are allowing them. Plus, three states are actually paying people to build them!   California was the first to legalize ADUs back in 1982 The law allowed homeowners to build a second unit but local governments hampered the effort with restrictions. Some municipalities charged hefty “impact fees” or imposed complicated and expensive permitting requirements. There may have also been restrictions on renting the units if the owner didn't live on the property and problems qualifying for a loan to build an ADU...   If you live in a place that allows ADU's, It's now time to check your yard for space to build an ADU that can bring you some passive income!

Lots of runners look pretty healthy on the outside. They exercise a lot, maintain a decent weight, have low body fat percentage, low BMI, and generally look fit. But inside there could be a lot more going on that no one really sees. I came across a study recently that looked at low-carbohydrate diets versus high-carbohydrate diets and their effects on athletic performance. The results are pretty interesting from a performance standpoint and also kind of surprising from a health perspective. Today, I look at what it means to be fit but unhealthy and what you can do to make sure you are both! The post 191. Fit but Unhealthy? appeared first on Running Lean with Patrick McGilvray.

In today's episode, we're going to talk about overthinking and why it's not a good thing to do on the weight loss journey and how you can stop it. Overthinking is one of those things that I think some people are just more prone to do, and I happen to be one of those people. I tend to overthink just about everything. There are good things about thinking deeply about a thing, but it really can derail your progress when it comes to weight loss. So the first place that this can creep in is when you set up your goal weight. Back in March of 2014, that was when I had my I've had enough moment. I was so ready to get the weight off and I was just determined. But it took me almost an entire year to get on the scale and finally come up with the number that I was shooting for. I didn't really know what a good thing to shoot for was. I, you know, like, I had always had trouble with my weight. I never was able to keep it off. So I kind of thought, well, I don't know. Like, is the problem that I am getting down to, you know, to overweight and then that's causing me to not be able to maintain it. Like, should I be shooting for something higher? You know, and so I would just debate these things in my mind constantly. But once I finally got on the scale and I saw the number, I thought, okay, I just need to pick a number and try to get down to it and I need to stop overthinking it and just, you know, write down a number, pick a number, write it down, and then just go about the business of trying to lose the weight. And that was the right thing to do in hindsight. The key here is that you just pick a number because once you pick something, you know, even if it's arbitrary, even if you're not really sure that that's going to be the right number. And look, any goal weight that you pick is going to be arbitrary, too. To some extent and you may not know until you get there whether it's going to be a good goal or not. It's just an educated guess. So because of that, it's better to just go ahead and pick something. Once you've picked it, then you can start moving towards it When you're not really sure where you want to end up. It's going to be really hard to motivate yourself to stop overthinking your goal weight, to sit down. You know, if you want to sit down with the BMI chart, I think that's a great place for people to start. And then just look at what a normal weight range is for you. I would pick something on the high end of normal or the low end of overweight. From what I've talked with other people and through my own experience, I'll say that's when weight loss seems to be, you know, fairly easy. It's not it doesn't take like super good consistency or a lot of restriction. On the other hand, you know, once once you get or at least in my experience, once you get down into the normal BMI, like right there at that cusp between overweight and normal BMI, that's when the weight loss really slowed down for me. Up until that point, it was about a pound a week. Once I got down to that point, it was a third of a pound a week, and that was even with really good consistency. So just some food for thought. So pick a number and go ahead and make a deal with yourself there. If you feel comfortable stopping earlier because maybe you just shot too low that okay, you can you can stop at a higher number. Or conversely, if you get down to that number and you decide I still want to lose, you know, five or ten more pounds or whatever number, then then you can move on from there. But it's important to just pick something and start moving towards it. Think of it as the good enough goal, which brings you to the next step in the weight loss journey, which is to pick out your plan. And this is the place where so many people get stuck because of overthinking. They research and research and research, and there's all this conflicting information out there. You know, if you go on YouTube or just, you know, do a Google search, you'll be able to see that there are a million experts out there with a million different opinions about which plan is best. And it can be overwhelming. It can get you stuck in inaction for years. And, you know, this is a big reason in 2014 that I stayed stuck because I was researching everything and I was so confused about everything. I was just like, you know, like I would read stuff about kiddo. I would read stuff about veganism. I would read stuff about Carnivore. I would read stuff about, you know, like don't eat sugar or, you know, other people would say, Oh, that's fine. You know, like and counting calories is the way or you've got to cycle your carbs or, you know, and there's so much information out there. The way to stop overthinking this is to break it down into a really simple equation, which is you need to burn more calories than you're consuming. Now, most people do this through a combination of eating less and moving more. And my own opinion on this is that the most important part is eating less. The moving part, I think, is very helpful for staying encouraged, having your your mental state, you know, in a positive place. But as far as just from a perspective of can you lose weight without exercise, Yes, you can. So if you're right now, if the big thing that's messing with you is like you don't like to exercise and you don't know how to get yourself to exercise, then focus 100% on the eating and just don't worry about it, because you can certainly still lose weight. When I look back, you know, I remember I spent days, weeks of just researching all this stuff, just researching, especially exercise. I was, you know, spending hours and hours at the computer thinking about these things, trying to figure out, you know, like, should it be high intensity exercise or is it better to do low state cardio or is it better to lift heavyweights or is it better to do, you know, more volume of reps but with with less weight or, you know, like there is so much stuff that I just filled my head with. Meanwhile, and sitting there not exercising and I did this for so long. I mean, I look back and I laugh at myself and I think, what on earth were you thinking? You know, like and the same with the plan, the eating plan. I would research and research and research. Meanwhile, you know, I would just be overeating constantly. So by 2015, I was I was doing more towards trying to, you know, practice intermittent fasting and things like that. I really didn't have a plan yet, though. I was doing a lot of stuff, but no clear plan again, because I was just overthinking it. I was constantly reading contradictory evidence and then changing my plan accordingly and then not really having results and getting frustrated and then changing the plan, you know, And just in truth, not really having a plan, just trying lots of stuff. One thing that kind of shifted my paradigm a little bit, it kind of helped me to call myself out on what I was doing. I remember I was reading a book and I think it was starting strength, My Mark crypto. But in it this author said that the way to lose weight, like if you're just going to lose weight, he said, eat nothing but chicken breasts for a month and let you lose £40. I can't remember the exact quote, but that was that was the the thrust of it. And in that moment I realized, you know, that's the thing. I'm not trying to like, just lose weight, Like, that's not what I'm going for. And so I was looking for the wrong thing. When I was looking, I was always, you know, looking for the fastest way to lose weight or the best way to lose weight. But that's not really what I was wanting to do. I realized when I saw that in black and white, like, Oh, this is the way that I could lose weight really fast. I knew, like if I do that plan, I will gain it. All right. That because there is no way for the rest of my life I can just eat nothing but, you know, chicken breasts. And I think it was that moment where I really said to myself, okay, so what? I'm actually trying to figure out here is how do I eat the right amount of food? Like, I'm not really interested in cutting out, you know, you know, different whole food groups and stuff like that. I just want to figure out how to eat. My plan is to help me learn how to eat the right amount of food. So January of 2016, that's when I finally wrote down an actual plan. And I remember I was just like, okay, is January is is time to, like, really knock this thing out? I've got to figure out a plan. And so I did. I sat down and I said, intermittent fasting six days a week, cheat day on Sunday, walk six miles a day. So I had everything, you know, down on paper. I knew what I was doing, I knew what I was committed to doing. And that was my plan. And then and this is a this is a big part of stopping overthinking is once you've picked that plan, you commit to it and you just say, I'm doing this. And so I committed to six weeks in my mind because, you know, when I look back over my history, I realize like I was usually quitting a plan. After about a week, I would give it a week and then I would quit. And then, you know, sometimes I'd be with something for longer than that. But generally speaking, I was thinking week to week, not like months of trying something consistently. Now, if you actually commit to a plan, it takes out the overthinking or it can you know, any time you start overthinking your plan, it means you're not really committed to it. Now, I understand that it's really difficult to commit to a plan when you don't really know if it's going to work. And that's the thing. Before you've tested a plan, you're not really sure if it's going to work. So it can be hard mentally to truly commit to it. But if you commit to it and you, you know, you can give yourself an out, What worked for me was to say, okay, I'm going to do this plan and I'm going to try it for six weeks and if during that time I gain £10, then I will allow myself to quit the plan. And I chose £10 because at that point I was around two or five and I knew that if I gained all the weight back, I would have been really upset with myself and it would have been really hard to like try again. So I thought, okay, £10. If I gain £10, I would put me to 15, which means I still would have, you know, lost £7 from my heaviest confirmed weight and it wouldn't be like completely starting over. So that was an that was enough of a compromise for me to get myself to commit. And what has helped me since then, to stay committed to the plan and to try my best not to overthink it is to simply be committed to it and to remind myself if I ever do hear people, you know, like and I do, I hear people all the time trying to, you know, convince me that one plan is better than the other or, oh, you know, you should really be trying to eat this way or whatever. The thing that has helped me is to just remind myself I'm committed to my plan and I know what works for me. I know what I feel best done. And if it works for them, great. But I don't need a plan that's different from what I'm already doing because I'm happy with it. In the end, I just decided, you know, I think humans are really adaptable that we can survive and thrive on a wide variety of food inputs, you know? So I'm going to just eat what is available to me. I'm going to be grateful for every bite that is put before me. So that helped me to stop overthinking food and it really improved my relationship with food. I found stopping power once I said, you know, all the foods are allowed and I'm not going to worry about it. And it's just given me a lot of peace. But everybody has to make their own minds up. I would say, you know, just figure out what works for you. You know, pay attention to how various foods affect you and and eat those, the things that make you feel the best and avoid those things that make you feel the worst and and just go based on your own experience. So if how remote your eating is causing the scale to go up, it simply means you're eating too much. So don't overthink it. Don't don't like get it all in your head that oh, it means I need to like cut out this or that. It just means you need to eat. That's all you need to do. There's a lot of different strategies you can use to help yourself eat less. You can cut out snacking, you can cut out distracted eating. You can just make yourself slow down while you're eating. You can eat from a smaller plate. There are plenty of things that you can do to help yourself eat less. So once you have your goal weight and you've got your plan, then it's time to start implementing. And this is yet another place where overthinking can really start to come into play because you're going to be constantly bombarded with information from all different camps about, you know, what you should be doing or what you should not be doing in order to lose weight. You know, if you bring this up with people, you're going to get lots of opinions. You're going to get a lot of advice. And, you know, my personal advice here is that if you don't want that kind of stuff, just don't talk about the fact that you're losing weight, that you're on a plan or anything like that. Just keep, you know, keep it to yourself and that that'll help you to have less advice thrown at you. But even even if you tell no one, you know, likely you're going to see it on YouTube or on television. There's going to be, you know, various fad things in the news about, oh, you get to try this diet drug. Are you going to, you know, do this new exercise? And there's just a lot that can kind of cause you to doubt the thing that you're doing. One thing that really helped me a lot was to go on a low information diet, meaning I just stopped consuming most news. I didn't watch the news anymore. I really limit my YouTube consumption. And, you know, I avoided and really when it came to like all the weight loss things, I completely avoided those in 2014, 2015, I was going on different websites, you know, that would, you know, talk about different ways to lose weight. There was one blog in particular. This girl had documented her weight loss journey, but she had gained the weight back. And so I was always like looking, you know, watching her story, like, oh, is she going to figure out how to get the weight back off and I realized that I had to stop looking at all of it. So, you know, when it came to things I was going to watch or things I was going to read or things that I was going to listen to, I just avoided all things diet and exercise related. And instead I just focused on like motivational things, uplifting things, inspirational things, things that would make my life better and my attitude better. And I'm really glad that I did that. And I told myself, if I ever actually have a problem, then I'll go and try to find the solution. But until such a time, I'm just going to keep it all turned off. So protect your mind, you know? And that includes like turning off things like this podcast, my YouTube channel. If those things end up messing with you and you find that you're not being as consistent, then don't watch it. You know, if something helps, you keep it in your life. But if something is just causing you to overthink things, get it out of your life. The last area that overthinking can creep into is the tracking. So you know, you've got a plan, you've got a goal, you're implementing, and then you got to be tracking in order to decide, you know, like, is this plan working or do you need to implement some changes into your plan so that you lose weight? And so the tracking part is tricky because weight fluctuates right now, if you have not weighed and you're trying to lose weight, I would encourage you go get on the scale right now. Just face reality. It's I know it's scary, but it's one of the best things you can do on the weight loss journey, because then you'll know you'll know exactly where you are and you can start tracking your progress. But just know that weight fluctuates. You know, some people, their weight fluctuates by £5 within a day. This is why I really like daily weighing and then keeping track of that seven day average over time because you know, your weight is going to fluctuate up and down, up and down, up and down. And your cycle, if you're a female, is also going to cause weight fluctuations. Generally speaking, people find their weight is a few pounds higher on their period than it is for the rest of the month. And if you know these things and you can just mentally prepare for the fact that it's not going to be a straight line down, but that you do need to be tracking so that you see what's going on, You're going to have a much easier time looking at things on a day to day basis or even a week to week basis. It's really not going to tell you very much. And if you and if you focus on those things, it's going to be really easy to overthink it and to, you know, kind of panic like, oh, you know, like my weight didn't go down per pound this week. Does that mean my plan isn't working? Like, those types of overthinking instances are going to be very unhelpful. Instead, just detach from that. Look at your seven day average over six weeks of time. Here's a little window into how my mind works, how much I can overthink things and worry about things. So once I started this plan and I was being consistent with it, in 2016, the scale started moving down consistently. I mean, it wasn't necessarily every single week it was down exactly £1, but it was consistent enough that I was like, Wow, I'm finally losing weight. Do you know what I started to do? I started to worry that I had cancer or some other terrible disease because because I was losing weight. Because it was because before it had been so difficult to lose weight. And now here I was. I was eating all the food. I was having chocolate cake. When I wanted chocolate cake, I was you know, I wasn't doing anything for exercise except for walking and I was losing weight. And so I was I was suddenly worried and I was over thinking. And this is one of those times when you kind of just have to say, okay, let's more likely let's try to be rational here that, you know, I suddenly have this terrible disease, or is it perhaps because I finally have picked a plan and have started implementing it consistently? Sometimes you have to just give yourself a little sit down talking to you and tell yourself, you know, you're just overthinking it. You need you need to stop. Which is exactly what I did. So if you are in the habit of overthinking, I hope that this episode has helped you to kind of realize it, you know, kind of see maybe where you're overthinking things. And so hopefully you can use that information and help yourself to stop overthinking in the future. Thank you for listening to this episode and I'll see you in the next one. Do you want to lose the weight without getting rid of the foods you love and that you know you'll go back to eating again anyway? My book Believe That Guide to Intermittent Fasting teaches you how to practice intermittent fasting so that you lose the weight sustainably and keep it off for good.
