Podcasts about Dieting

Carnivore was the eye-opener that showed me how to eliminate anything that could be bothering me, but five years later, animal-based is the framework that actually stuck. I've gone through paleo, keto, and carnivore, and none of them were failed attempts; each one raised the baseline and taught me something I still use today. In this episode, I break down the three things that actually changed (not my weight, not a number on a chart), why animal-based has outlasted every stricter diet I've tried, who should still go stricter first, and how raising our own food on the homestead reshaped the whole picture. Thank you to this episode's sponsor, Peluva! Peluva makes minimalist shoes to support optimal foot, back and joint health. I started wearing Peluvas several months ago, and I haven't worn regular shoes since. I encourage you to consider trading your sneakers or training shoes for a pair of Peluvas, and then watch the health of your feet and lower back improve while reducing your risk of injury.  To learn more about why I love Peluva barefoot shoes, check out my in-depth review: https://michaelkummer.com/health/peluva-review/  And use code MICHAEL to get 10% off your first pair: https://michaelkummer.com/go/peluva  Learn More: The Ultimate Animal-Based Nutrition Handbook: https://michaelkummer.com/food-list/  59: Paleo, Keto, Carnivore [Navigating Dietary Changes as a Family]: https://www.primalshiftpodcast.com/59-paleo-keto-carnivore-navigating-dietary-changes-as-a-family/ 137: The Nutrient Gap Most Carnivores Don't Know About: https://www.primalshiftpodcast.com/137-the-nutrient-gap-most-carnivores-dont-know-about/  In this episode: 00:00 Intro 01:14 Three life changes 03:23 Carnivore, paleo, keto (Diet ladder) 09:10 Why animal-based sticks 14:17 How we eat day to day 18:25 Who should go stricter 20:50 Homesteading for transparency 24:16 One decision framework 26:03 Adherence beats perfection 28:55 Final thoughts Find me on social media for more health and wellness content: Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelKummer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/primalshiftpodcast/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/michaelkummer/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/mkummer82 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmichaelkummer/ [Medical Disclaimer] The information shared on this video is for educational purposes only, is not a substitute for the advice of medical doctors or registered dietitians (which I am not) and should not be used to prevent, diagnose, or treat any condition.

Why does discipline seem to work everywhere else in your life except with dieting? Why do you white-knuckle a diet for months, then binge on the one thing you "weren't allowed" to have? Why does getting "back on track" never actually stick?   Agne asked herself those exact questions for 20 years. Cabbage soup diets, keto, six-day CrossFit weeks, a coach who told her maybe her body was just built to stay stuck.   She joined Outsmart Overeating in 2023 and shared her story on the podcast in fall 2024. Listen to that episode here.   Now she's back, two years later, with the real answer: the food rules were never the problem. Her thinking was.   This episode breaks down exactly what changed and how, so you can start applying it today:   Why you can't diet your way out of a mindset problem How rigid, perfectionistic rules create the exact bingeing they're meant to prevent What it actually looks like to loosen your grip on control without your life falling apart Why needing support again after progress isn't failure (and what to do when it happens)   If you're tired of "getting back on track," start here.   Doors open for our next Outsmart Overeating group August 31 - September 3rd.

When you're dieting to lose weight, human evolution is often working against you. We'll talk about why with Daniel Lieberman, author of Fed Up and founder of Harvard's Department of Evolutionary Biology.  He spoke with Terry Gross about diets he's tested, and the often contradictory information about what's healthy to eat and what's not.Also, book critic Maureen Corrigan reviews Etna, a novel that looks at war through the narration of a dog. Subscribe to our free weekly newsletter Follow us on Instagram Subscribe to our YouTube channel Check out the Fresh Air ArchivesSee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

In this episode of The Michael Chernow Podcast, Michael sits down with Alexander Stein for an unfiltered conversation about disordered eating, body dysmorphia, fitness obsession, and the struggles men rarely talk about. Alex shares how his relationship with food began changing at just eight years old and eventually became decades of restriction, over-exercising, coffee, and one meal a day. At his lowest point, he was 6'2" and 140 pounds, yet still struggled to recognize how unhealthy he had become. Michael also opens up about developing his own unhealthy relationship with food and fitness after getting sober, leading to a larger conversation about the incredibly thin line between discipline and obsession. They examine modern fitness culture, intermittent fasting, body-image pressure, social media, and why behaviors that look “healthy” from the outside can sometimes be driven by fear and control. Alex explains the moment hearing Nikki Glaser speak openly about her own struggles finally made him feel understood, why being told he didn't technically qualify as anorexic became a dangerous challenge in his mind, and what ultimately helped him rebuild his relationship with food. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever wondered: Am I actually healthy—or am I obsessed?KOHhttps://kreaturesofhabit.comIGhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelchernowhttps://www.instagram.com/kreaturesofhabitCHAPTERS:0:00 Intro & Trigger Warning4:33 What Does Disordered Eating Actually Look Like?7:02 Dieting at Just 8 Years Old12:12 The Fear of Ever Getting Fat16:28 6'2" and 140 Pounds — How Bad It Got19:00 Michael's Own Battle With Food After Sobriety23:13 20 Years of Food Rules & Body Dysmorphia27:27 Coffee, One Meal a Day & Extreme Restriction30:26 Healthy or Obsessed?

Send us Fan MailDiet culture can make eating feel like a courtroom, where every bite seems to prove whether we're “good” or “bad.” We want something different. In this episode, we share a grace-filled approach to eating boundaries that doesn't turn food into another diet plan or spiritual performance. We explore a simple, body-honoring rhythm: hunger opens the meal, and the peaceful place of “just enough” closes it. Along the way, we unpack the five intentions of Spirit-led eating in five memorable words: wait, welcome, choose, attend, stop. We talk about what each one looks like in real life—from waiting for hunger without watching the clock, to welcoming God into an ordinary meal, choosing food that delights and supports us, attending to the moment without demanding perfection, and stopping from a place of care rather than fear.We also address the questions that can make this approach feel complicated. Is listening to hunger and fullness really spiritual, or are we simply following our bodies? What happens when hunger cues have been muted by years of dieting, stress, recovery needs, health challenges, or GLP-1 medications? And what do we do when we eat without hunger or go beyond “just enough”? Our answer is not shame—it's curiosity, grace, and a willingness to look and learn with the Lord. We can return to Him in the very next moment, without condemnation, and keep practicing freedom one meal at a time.If you want Christian encouragement, mindful eating tools, and a practical path outside of diet rules, press play.

For decades, Samantha believed her body was a problem she needed to fix. Like so many women, she cycled through diet after diet, believing more restriction and more willpower were the answer. Instead, the rules only made her feel more obsessed with food. In this inspiring client conversation, Samantha shares how she broke free from the restrict-binge cycle, overcame decades of perfectionism and self-criticism, and built habits that helped her find peace with food. If you've ever felt like you're constantly starting over with another diet or wondering why you can't stay consistent, this episode will remind you that lasting change isn't about becoming better at dieting - it's about changing your relationship with food.

If you have ever tried to lose weight only to find the weight crept back on, you're not alone. In fact, for tons of people, this happens over and over again.

We find out with nutritionist Prof. Faidon Magkos, immunologist Prof. Alyssa Hasty, and health policy researcher Dr. Jamie Hartmann-Boyce.  Note: In this episode we discuss weight and weight loss.

Have you ever felt like you've spent years chasing the "perfect diet"—only to end up back where you started? In this episode, we're talking about the hidden costs of chronic dieting.   Not just the weight regain, but the emotional, mental, financial, and social toll that years of dieting can have on your life. If you've spent years counting calories, cutting carbs, starting over every    Monday, or feeling guilty after eating, this episode is for you. The truth is, the biggest cost of dieting isn't always the number on the scales—it's the years spent believing your life can only begin once you lose weight.   Female Fat Loss Program starts 7th Sept early bird discount 33% off https://www.shanewalshfitness.com/female-fat-loss-program/

One underdiscussed aspect of a body image or food recovery adventure is the importance of rage. What can occur is that all the anger that might be felt about how you were treated in the past gets turned in on your body. Your body becomes the focus of all your rage rather than on a culture that ever taught you that your body should be different than it is. Your food behaviors become a way to express this anger when it doesn't feel like it has an outlet. Somatically, if your experience of rage is scary, overwhelming, and threatening, then it can also feel unsafe to feel and express rage. This is why I like to explore small, safe micro moments of feeling rage so that you get to slowly take it off of your body's appearance or express it with food. What this might look like is drawing rage, writing as if you were rage, putting on a song that taps you into rage and moving as rage would move for one song. This could look like throwing an egg against a tree or ripping a piece of paper. This is all about getting used to the felt sense of rage so that when you start to judge your body, you can feel the rage, express, move through it, and not blame your body for it. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Paula D. Atkinson, liberation psychotherapist, body justice professor and activist, author, and podcast host, about: Trauma of diet cultureImpact of starvationEmbracing rage and how to use it as a tool for body liberationHistory of fatphobiaThe intersection between body image and social justiceImportance of experiencing pleasure and joyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/how-embracing-rage-fuels-body-liberationThis was an incredibly powerful episode and I hope you enjoy it! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Paula here: Website: https://www.pauladatkinson.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pauladatkinson/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pauladatkinsonSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Have you ever finished a meal feeling completely full... and then kept eating anyway? I've had this conversation with so many people, and the conclusion is almost always the same: they think they're the problem. In this episode, I'm talking about why eating past fullness isn't a willpower issue. I explain how years of food rules and ignoring hunger can leave your body trying to catch up at the end of the day. I also break down what hunger actually feels like, because most of us were never taught to recognize the early signals. We learned to wait until hunger was screaming, then wondered why everything felt so out of control. Quotes "You are not failing at the solution. The solution is the problem." "A lot of people think that hunger has one volume. It's like a switch. It's either on or it's off, and it doesn't. It has a whole quiet conversation happening first, and we've only been trained to answer or listen when it is shouting." "Hunger, whether it's physical, metaphorical, in women has been treated as something to manage, to suppress, to overcome." "The whole thing repeats, but it doesn't necessarily feel like a pattern per se from inside. It just kind of feels like evidence, like proof that you can't be trusted around food." "The discomfort feels like you're doing something wrong, but you're not. It's just the rule loosening its grip." "We're starting earlier, feeding yourself earlier, not because you deserve it or it's a reward, but because your body needs it, and you're hungry, and you've been hungry for a really long time." Frequently Asked Questions Why do I keep eating even when I'm full? A lot of people assume this comes down to self-control. It usually doesn't. If you've been ignoring hunger all day, following food rules, or waiting until you're starving to eat, your body is trying to catch up. Eating past fullness isn't proof that you're broken. It's often a predictable response to spending too much time in a deficit.   Why can't I tell when I'm hungry? Your hunger cues probably didn't disappear. You just stopped treating them as information. Most people don't lose hunger overnight. They spend years pushing it aside until they only recognize the loudest signals. Hunger has a whole conversation before it's shouting, and learning to hear those quieter cues takes practice.   Why do I always overeat at night? For a lot of people, nighttime isn't the problem. It's where the problem finally shows up. If you've spent the entire day eating as little as possible, ignoring hunger, or trying to "be good," your body has been waiting for food all day.    What are the first signs of hunger? Most people expect hunger to feel dramatic. It usually starts much quieter than that. You might find yourself thinking about food more often, feeling a little less focused, noticing a slight drop in energy, or feeling a gentle emptiness in your stomach. Those are often your body's first attempts to get your attention.   Can dieting make it harder to recognize hunger? Yes. Dieting teaches you to trust rules more than your body. Instead of asking yourself if you're hungry, you start asking whether you're "allowed" to eat. After enough time, the rules become louder than your own hunger cues.   Should I wait until I'm hungry to eat? Not necessarily. If you're recovering from restrictive eating or years of dieting, your hunger cues may not be reliable yet. Eating consistently helps rebuild trust with your body. As that trust grows, your hunger cues usually become easier to recognize.   How do I stop overeating without creating more food rules? The answer usually isn't another rule. It's feeding yourself consistently enough that your body no longer feels like it has to make up for what it missed earlier in the day. As that sense of scarcity starts to fade, eating often becomes much less chaotic. Resources Be sure to sign up for my weekly newsletter! Brave on Purpose! - Grab my new book here!

A Q&A about hunger during fat loss, covering calorie deficits, appetite control, protein, fibre, filling foods, meal timing, evening hunger, sleep, stress, diet breaks and how to know when your diet is too aggressive.  

Has years of dieting on and off damaged your metabolism? It that why fat loss feels so hard now?This is one of the most common fears I hear, and the short answer is almost certainly... no. So what is going on?Most of what feels like a broken metabolism is one of two things: either the normal discomfort of a deficit or the way your appetite pushes back as you lose fat, preventing a consistent deficit (where you feel like you're dieting but can never lose weight).If you look at weight loss studies, those reporting the most hunger and the strongest cravings tend to lose the least, implying that too much hunger isn't by definition "necessary" for a successful deficit.Learn about metabolic adaptation in a moderate diet, the "four-week wall" when most people quit a fat loss phase, and the difference between the discomfort you should "ride out" and red flags where you should take a break or change something about the diet (like the speed/aggressiveness).The people who finish are the ones who lose the fat!Enroll in Eat More Lift Heavy, the 26-week coached program where adults over 40 build the nutrition and training skills to preserve muscle, lose fat, and manage their physique for life.Wits & Weights is the evidence-based podcast for strength training over 40, fat loss over 40, metabolism recovery, body recomposition, and healthy aging.

Your history with food and dieting didn't start with you. You saw your mothers or fathers diet and their grandparents also dieted and their grandparents also dieted. There is a long history of diet culture passed down from generation to generation and expressed differently in the trendiest, most common diet of the time. This isn't about the food, but that nervous system states, traumas, and lack of safety is being expressed through food in family lineages.  Creating a safer and more stabilizing relationship with food can also be engaging in the healing of past generations who never got a chance to feel safe in their bodies and future generations to have that groundwork that you had to create for yourself. In this week's episode, I chat with Amber Caudle, chef, author, speaker, and coach, about: What a journey to food freedom actually looks likeHow the nervous system plays a role in food recoveryThe importance of self compassion, curiosity and creativityThe work of True Body Intelligence for trauma recoveryThe impact of generational trauma on food behaviors, and steps to build trust in your bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/rebuilding-body-trust-after-decades-of-dietingHope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Amber: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ambercaudlela/Book: Hungry: https://amzn.to/4vYeW3TWebsite: https://www.nourishyourpowers.com/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

One of the questions I get asked more than almost anything else is..."Coach...what's the best diet?"Keto?Mediterranean?Carnivore?Vegan?Intermittent fasting?Low carb?High carb?Every expert seems to have a different answer.And every expert can usually point to studies that support their position.So... who's right?Honestly...probably all of them.For somebody.Because my very first Life Rule—the first rule I've had written in my phone for over ten years—is this:Life Rule #1: Do what works for you.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

After 15 years of restrictive dieting and an obsessive relationship with food and exercise, I reached a point where I realized that if the way I was doing things was ever going to work... it would've worked by now.In this video, I share what finally made me let go of the endless cycle of dieting, why I started approaching training differently, and how those two decisions completely changed my relationship with food, fitness, and myself.I share how I've become stronger than I've ever been, training for one of the toughest strength certifications I've ever attempted, while enjoying food, not exhausting myself in the gym, and living a life that isn't controlled by my body or my workouts.If you've ever felt like trying harder only leaves you feeling more exhausted and not nearly as strong as you were hoping to be, I hope this video shows you there's another way.Join the Strong Not Starving Community interest list: https://strongnotstarving.com/sns-community/Book a Call with Marcus Here: https://form.jotform.com/240493269367062Strong Not Starving Youtube: https://youtube.com/@strongnotstarving?si=zzmTveIdGUD0omuMStay up to date with Strong Not Starving events and resources ⬇️⬇️⬇️  https://www.strongnotstarving.com/snsinfoWebsite: www.strongnotstarving.com

In this episode, I invite you into a powerful reframe — one that shifts everything you've been taught about food, cravings, and control.Because the truth is most people aren't actually eating from joy.They're eating for it.And that changes everything.What We Can Learn from Blue Zones LivingI open this conversation by reflecting on the lifestyle patterns seen in communities often referred to as blue zones — places where people live longer, healthier lives.What stands out isn't restriction.It isn't discipline. It isn't perfect diets. It's joy.Joy in preparing foodJoy in gatheringJoy in slowing downJoy in living with purposeFood isn't used to create joy — it's an extension of a joyful life.Dopamine Eating vs. Joyful EatingDopamine EatingQuick, fast, convenientUsed to numb emotionsDriven by cravings and reward loopsOften tied to stress, restriction, or deprivationJoyful EatingSlow, intentional, connectedRooted in gratitude and presenceExperienced through all sensesComes from a regulated, safe nervous systemIn our culture, food has become a dopamine hit — a quick fix for how we feel.But in more connected ways of living, food becomes part of an already joyful state.The Fear-Based Relationship with FoodWhen you've spent years dieting, restricting, or trying to “fix” your body, food starts to carry emotional weight.“This is good”“This is bad”“This will make me gain weight”“This will fix me”I explain how these fear-based associations activate your nervous system into fight, flight, or freeze, making digestion and true nourishment much harder.Your body is always listening — not just to what you eat, but to what you believe about what you eat.A New Ritual: Eating with ConnectionWhat if eating became a moment of safety instead of stress?Here's a simple practice I share:Sit down with your mealObserve your plate — colors, textures, smellsTake a breath before eatingFeel gratitude for the nourishment in front of youRemind your body: this is safeAs you eat:Slow downNotice how your body respondsStay present instead of rushingThis is how you begin to rewire your relationship with food — not through control, but through connection.Trusting Your BodyEven digestion can become stressful when you're stuck in fear.Instead of worrying, I invite you to reinforce trust:Trust that your body knows how to process foodTrust that your body can eliminate what it doesn't needCelebrate small signs of regulationYour body's natural rhythms respond to how safe it feels.Why Diets Keep You Stuck in FearSearching for the “perfect diet” often comes from fear:Fear of gaining weightFear of symptomsFear of losing controlMost diets are based on what worked for someone else — not what your body uniquely needs.The Missing Piece: Feedback from Your BodyInstead of following rigid rules, I encourage you to build a relationship with your body through feedback.Ask yourself after eating:How do I feel?How is my digestion?How is my energy?How is my sleep?How is my inflammation?Transformation happens through self-awareness and trust.Download my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating, and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban: Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & Subscribe Catch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your Takeaway Tag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

From managing hunger and fatigue to staying focused when motivation isn't always there, this episode offers a real and unfiltered look at what it takes to compete at a high level.Whether you're currently in prep, considering stepping on stage, or simply interested in the truth behind dieting and fitness transformations, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Connect with Mary:Instagram: @marykuettel_fitnessFollow Nicole:Instagram: @nicoleferrierfitnessTikTok: @nicoleferrierfitnessApply for Coaching:www.nicoleferrierfitness.com

Let's be so for real right now…You're one glimpse in the mirror or bad body image day away from going right back to dieting even though you know deep down it doesn't work long-term.    WHY ON EARTH do we do keep going back to dieting when we know better?   In this episode, I'm breaking down what keeps drawing you back into the loving and dysfunctional arms of dieting, and what you need to start doing instead in those moments when you feel tempted to jump ship from your intuitive eating journey and re-download your calorie tracking app for the 10th time.    We're also going to use a really powerful analogy to help you understand the cycle that you're in, and what it takes to get out of it - for good. If you know that you need to develop a healthier relationship with food and your body, but that feels so gosh darn hard when you feel so uncomfortable with your body…this is the episode for you.    Episode Highlights -The MOVEMENT that we are creating together - and YOU get to be part of it! You need to hear this! -A relationship analogy that explains exactly why you keep feeling tempted to return to dieting when you already know better.  -What you're ACTUALLY craving when you are yearning for weight loss (hint: It's not literally about the lower number on the scale…it's more than that.) -The ways in which you're using dieting to avoid the harder work.

if you've been trying to lose fat for what feels like your whole life…or you're in that weird place where you're technically trying to just build muscle, get your metabolism up so you can diet better next time… but youre clinging to the next fat loss phase… wanting to do both now even, but it just feels like youre in between the 2 - this one's going to hit.“I'm consistent, I eat healthy, I train, why am I not seeing more?” and “I'm definitely in a calorie deficit, why am I not losing? This episode challenges the usual fast versus slow fat loss debate and asks the question most women are skipping: should you even be in a fat loss phase right now?I break down why “slow and sustainable” can sometimes become a trap, especially for women who have spent years dieting, restarting, trying to be consistent, fearing weight gain, blaming hormones, and still not seeing the body composition changes they want.The episode covers mental dieting, tiny deficits, why fat loss needs an exit plan, why faster fat loss is not the same as crash dieting, and why the body many women want may require more muscle, better training and more capacity before another deficit.Everyone talks about how fast fat loss is hard.And yes, it is.You will probably be hungrier.=You will probably need to make harder decisions for a period of time.But no one talks about the cost of going slow. of following the popular advice out thereBecause if you drag a fat loss phase out over 6..9..12 months.. how is THAT sustainable? especially if theres still little to show for iti talk• Why “I feel like I'm dieting” is not the same as actually being in an effective deficit• Why sustainable does not mean the deficit lasts forever• The problem with trying to diet your way into a body that needs muscle• Why women over 35 and 40 often need better training, recovery and structure, not just fewer calories• Why fast fat loss is not automatically reckless• Why slow fat loss is not automatically safer• Why the exit phase matters as much as the deficit3 action steps1. Ask whether fat loss is actually the right phase.Before starting another diet, ask: is my training progressing? Am I recovering? Am I sleeping? Do I have enough muscle to reveal what I want to see? Am I choosing fat loss from strategy, or because discomfort has made dieting feel familiar?2. check: if youre physically dieting or mentally dieting.If you feel restricted, guilty, food-focused and constantly restarting, but your body is not physically changing, you may be living in diet-brain without being in a clean enough deficit to create the result.3. Choose the next stepDo not default to fat loss just because you feel uncomfortable. If your training is flat, recovery is poor, calories are already low or food noise is high, the next step may be building capacity first.linksFind me on Instagram: @transformxrubyApply for a free consult: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkDM me directly on Instagram: https://ig.me/m/transformxruby---CHAPTER TIMESTAMPSIMPORTANT: adjust these after the final audio export.

In this episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of chatting with Donna Jackson for the Coaching with Integrity Podcast. In this episode, we're talking about one of the most misunderstood clients in the fitness industry: the chronic yo-yo dieter. The person who knows exactly what to do, has done it before, and somehow ends up back at square one. Again. We dig into why labelling these clients as lacking discipline is not only wrong — it's actively making things worse. Years of dieting leave a mark, not just physically but psychologically, and coaching them the same way you'd coach a first-timer is a recipe for another rebound. We cover: Why adherence failure is a coaching problem, not a client problem The emotional and behavioural patterns that keep chronic dieters stuck What the first 30 days with these clients should actually look like The dietary approaches most likely to backfire — and what to do instead Why maintenance is a skill set coaches need to actively teach How to build client autonomy so they don't need you forever If you want help breaking away from yo-yo dieting Apply for coaching here www.shanewalshfitness.com/onlinecoaching

This is actually a pretty wild story. During my first year in my PhD, a woman reached out to me through the contact form on my website and was like, "Hey, we're doing similar work! I would love to connect." I starred the email as something I needed to follow up on and then it got completely buried in my inbox. Then, several months later, one of my teachers emailed me and said, "Did you see this dissertation defense coming up? It is on binge eating." I immediately marked it in my calendar as something I had to attend. I arrived at the Zoom dissertation defense and as soon as I see this woman's name I was like, "Why is this person's name sound so familiar?" I sneak off into my inbox and look up her name and lo and behold, it was the same person who emailed me a few months prior. Honestly, I initially felt mortified I had not followed up with her sooner, but I immediately emailed her after the defense was over. We scheduled a Zoom chat and it was amazing how much we had in common. We come from a similar lens that binge eating recovery needs a body-based approach. It is the body and experiencing it internally and externally that is missing from most recovery modalities. In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Kristina Dobyns, PhD, MA, Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and certified Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention facilitator, about: What worked and didn't work in Kristina's binge eating recovery journeyWhat she discovered in her research on binge eatingThe importance of building somatic awareness and interoceptionThe role of sensory strategiesUtilizing nutrition as a part of binge eating recoveryChallenging conventional recovery approachesYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/body-based-strategies-for-binge-eatingYou're about to receive some game changing binge eating recovery strategies and I hope it feels helpful!With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Kristina here: Website: https://www.BeyondBingeEating.comYoutube: www.BeyondBingeEating.com/@BeyondBingeEatingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/BeyondBingeEating/FREE Eat-With-Awareness Bundle: https://beyondbingeeating.com/opt-in/Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPlSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.bensou...

Your shorts feel tighter. You feel hotter, puffier, stickier and more exposed. You catch one bad reflection or try on something you haven't worn since last summerSuddenly your brain has a complete nervy breakdown(idk why this reminds me of angus thongs and perfect snogging… but kinda that crazy)But you?You drop calories. Add cardio. Clean everything up. Get back in control.Yep… summer has a weird way of making your body feel like an emergencyBut is fat loss actually the phase your body needs right now? Or is it the thing that will be the reason behind your belly being a huge problem after 40? After 50?-----------------Find me @transformxruby on instagram and tell me what IS PLAYING OVER IN YOUR HEAD about this whole body transformation thing... where you are getting tripped up... i will do my best to help you with a free assessment :) ** just say you came from the podcast**------------------You can lose weight without ending up with the lean, strong and defined body you pictured You can become smaller without creating more shape. And you can keep trying to reveal muscle that you have never given yourself enough time, food or effective training to build.In this episode, we're talking about:• why summer can make you feel physically fuller without proving you have suddenly gained body fat• the difference between strategically choosing fat loss and emotionally reacting to discomfort• why dieting feels so reassuring when maintenance feels uncertain• why “toned” is not a number on the scale• how repeated summer shreds keep cutting your muscle-building phase short• why eating more only works when your training creates a genuine reason for your body to adapt• what effective training, progressive overload, carbohydrates and recovery have to do with the shape you want• why maintenance is not a break from progress—it is where so much of the useful work happensThis is not an anti-fat-loss episode.Some women need a fat-loss phase. Some women are completely ready for one.But if every tight pair of shorts, bad photograph or uncomfortable body day sends you straight back into restriction, that is not strategy. That is emotional relief dressed up as a plan.The body you want is not just a fat-loss outcome.You cannot keep cutting the building phase short and then wonder why there is nothing new to reveal.I was talking to a client about this yesterday, and I could hear the desperation in her voice. She'd spent three years—three years—white-knuckling her way through summers because she felt like if she wasn't "tightening up," she was losing control.We forget that we are allowed to take up space. You do not need to earn the right to exist in the summer. You don't need to shrink before you participate in your own life.I shared this episode because I'm so tired of seeing brilliant, capable women interrupt their own progress because they got scared by a photo from a barbecue. If you're feeling that urge to cut right now, listen to this first. I want you to build something that lasts, not something you're just trying to survive until September.I'm in your corner.

Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com ---Dieting isn't changing. Dieting is a temporary thing you do to make your body smaller. But your body got bigger for a reason — your lifestyle, your habits, your routines, your environment, your community, your belief systems. Change those, and the weight follows. Don't, and you'll lose it and gain it back like you always have.So why don't we change? In this episode, Chris breaks down 10 reasons people stay exactly where they are — even when they say they want something different. They come from an old framework he found in his journal, sorted into four buckets:No change, no pain. Staying the same protects you from accountability, from the unknown, and from having to trade a familiar captivity for an unfamiliar freedom.There's no reason you can't. Staying the same protects you from your own expectations — and from the expectations of everyone watching you start to do better.The mirror. Staying the same protects you from taking an honest look at where you actually are. Because once you look, you'd have to do something about it.The work. Staying the same protects you from the insult of small steps, from tearing down the monument you've built to your own pain, and from changing your relationships — with others, and with yourself.This one's about the part nobody warns you about: that real change means becoming a different person, and some part of you is fighting that on purpose. If somebody's ever told you "you've changed" like it was an insult — this episode is for you.Be careful of your sacred cows. You'll be surprised what you're willing to change once you find a reason big enough.—If this hit something, that's what we do every day inside The Guild of Champions — the community for people who are done dieting and ready to actually change.

If YOU'RE ready to make real, sustainable change in your life, jump on a free call with us - https://physiquedevelopment.typeform.com/to/ToP9TYLESuccessful dieting is a lot less exciting than most people expect. In this episode, Coach Mia shares the unsexy truth about fat loss: a productive deficit is often boring, predictable, and much more normal than the dramatic transformations you see online.She breaks down what you should actually expect during your first dieting phase, how to make the process feel easier, and why a little hunger isn't necessarily a sign that something is wrong.Because successful fat loss isn't about suffering, it's about setting realistic expectations and staying consistent long enough to see the results.As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought.

Emma and Cass open with a listener question that hits a little too close to home: "I just turned 30 and I hate my job, my apartment, and the city I live in. Do I blow it all up or am I just having a moment?" Emma says blow it the f up. Cass, who spent a year deeply unhappy in her marriage, her motherhood, and her life in general, says try 5% better first. From there: Cass on the motherhood imposter syndrome that hit her like a freight train (after 27 years of never feeling it), Emma on the version she's lived with her whole life, the menstrual blood research that's genuinely wild, and an unhinged agree/disagree game powered by Cass's husband's questions. In this episode: The listener question: turning 30, hating everything, and Emma vs Cass on whether to blow it up or stay put. "Wherever you go, there you are." Cass on the year she was deeply unwell and what she did instead of running, plus the 5% rule for making your life better without burning it down. "If you're a girly pop in your 30s who has let decisions make you instead of making them, maybe it's time to fucking blow it up." Emma's case for the hard pivot, geographic escapism included. Motherhood imposter syndrome that lasted two years, the postpartum therapist who said stop waiting for the cute walks to happen to you, and the day at the park when Cass realized she was a real mom talking to real moms. Emma on feeling like an imposter in every room she walks into, including the one she literally built. Emma's run-in with a guy she used to sleep with, and a description of his anatomy you will not forget. New menstrual blood research: Dr. Gemma Evans at the Hudson Institute found menstrual plasma heals wounds 40 times faster than regular blood plasma.  A review of decades of yo-yo dieting research turns out to be way less scary than we've been told, and Cass is mad about how women get shamed either way. The SPF lip gloss that Emma keeps stealing from Cass's bathroom. The toy Emma can't get enough of. Get yours HERE at Bellesa! Agree/disagree with questions from Cass's husband: texting your ex, thirst-trap likes, body counts as a red flag, fighting a goose, landing a passenger plane, men should always pay. For anyone in their late 20s or 30s who's ever wanted to quit everything by Tuesday, or felt like an imposter in a room they literally built. Learn more about your ad choices.
