While the fitness industry often emphasizes short-term goals such as rapid weight loss or aesthetic improvements, a growing body of evidence highlights the importance of fostering long-term habits for health and wellbeing. Understanding how psychological frameworks intersect with physical health behaviors is key to empowering clients and overcoming the challenges posed by rigid dieting practices or the influence of social media culture. Bodybuilding and fitness culture serve as both a microcosm and an extreme example of the challenges faced in this space. As the boundaries between physique sports and general fitness blur, many enthusiasts adopt unsustainable habits without fully understanding their long-term implications. How can fitness professionals effectively guide clients toward intrinsic motivations and healthier relationships with food and exercise while balancing the reality of external pressures? In this episode, Laurin Conlin offers her insights based on her coaching experiences, as well as formal training in exercise sciences and mental health counselling.

She discusses the importance of integrating mental health into fitness coaching, the challenges clients face with nutrition, and the significance of mindset in achieving goals.

Instagram: mrcoachcody Laurin Instagram: @laurinconlin For training: www.codyharman.com Email: trainwithcoachcody@gmail.com Takeaways Laurin Conlin has a background in exercise science and mental health. She emphasizes the importance of mental health in fitness coaching. Nutrition coaching should focus on flexibility and individual needs. Mindset plays a crucial role in food behaviors and dieting. Cognitive dissonance is common among clients with conflicting goals. Self-reflection can help clients understand their behaviors better. Journaling is a valuable tool for gaining insights into emotions. Removing food triggers can aid in managing cravings. Clients often need guidance in aligning their actions with their goals. The relationship between coach and client is vital for success. Moderation can be subjective and varies for each individual. Finding a balance between flexibility and restraint is crucial. Scheduled treat meals can help avoid guilt and shame cycles. Post-diet phases are often the hardest for clients. Recovery should be prioritized while minimizing overeating episodes. Mental strategies are essential for off-season success. Maintenance is an important and often overlooked aspect of fitness. It's okay to take a step back and focus on other life aspects. Small positive actions can lead to significant long-term changes. Understanding the phases of dieting can help manage expectations.

Laurin Conlin is back on Iron Culture after a long hiatus! For those who missed her first appearance, Laurin Conlin, MS is a coach and high-level competitor, having competed as an IFBB Pro Bikini athlete from 2014-2018.

Why does this happen, and what are the consequences? Tune in to find out!

In today's episode, I interview fitness coach and researcher Laurin Conlin on the concepts of rigid and flexible restraint when dieting. Laurin is an IFBB Pro Bikini competitor and the owner of Team LoCoFit. She earned her B.S. from Florida State University and her M.S. from the University of South Florida, both in Exercise Science. She continues to serve as a research assistant to Dr. Bill Campbell's Physique Enhancement lab at USF. As part of her Master's degree, she conducted a study on the effects of following a rigid meal plan versus a more flexible macronutrient-based diet on fat loss outcomes. In this conversation, we covered a variety of thought-provoking topics, including, but not limited to the following: What's the definition of rigid and flexible restraint? In Laurin's study, which was more effective for fat loss: the rigid meal plan or the more flexible, macro-based diet? How can a flexibly restrained mindset benefit you in pursuit of your fitness goals? What are Laurin's practical tips to adopt this mindset? How can you take this flexible approach during the winter holidays to make the most of this time while still making progress towards your goals?

In this episode of the Cured Collective Podcast, Joe sits down with Laurin Conlin to discuss the importance of nutrition when we're striving to reach fitness goals and live a healthier lifestyle. Laurin shares simple but effective tips for optimizing our eating habits and adopting a flexible mindset for when we inevitably fall “off track.” Laurin also explains why it might be necessary to reframe our goals. For example, it is often more important to focus on preserving muscle mass while in a caloric deficit, as opposed to focusing solely on fat loss. To help streamline your unique goal-setting, Laurin offers additional advice on hot topics, like: food tracking, meal timing, exercise, and fasting. Tune in to learn more! “People really need to be able to define what their ‘goals' are. There are a lot of catch phrases in the nutrition industry and I think [eating for your goals] is one of them.” – Laurin Conlin Key Highlights Why it's necessary to optimize our eating habits, regardless of what our goals are; How to approach falling “off track” and remain positive, flexible, and proactive; Why resistance training and protein consumption are two key components of maintaining lean muscle mass while losing fat; How a healthy, balanced diet starts with simple decisions, like the choices we make while grocery shopping; How nutrition, exercise, and sleep, factor into overall wellness.

Episode 79: Reverse Dieting with Laurin Conlin Today we had Laurin Conlin, head coach and owner of Team Loco Fit back on our show to discuss the various frameworks, strategies, and applications of reverse dieting. Reverse dieting is often thought of as it relates to how to eat post-show, but the concept of reverse dieting is much more robust and has applications in many areas of coaching like hormonal fixes and gut health protocols. We discuss where and how to apply a reverse diet, how long to reverse for, and what signs to look out for to know a reverse diet is going well.
Episode 42: Life After Macros with Laurin Conlin IFBB Bikini Pro and Coach Laurin Conlin joins us today for an in-depth discussion on the psychology and physiology behind "feeding up" and fixing our clients' relationship with food. Tracking macros has become a mainstay approach in the fitness world and beyond, but what happens when you don't have macros or can't track what's on the plate in front of you? In this episode we discuss what it means to eat intuitively and more importantly, how we coach the development of intuition so our clients can feed themselves properly for life. Living attached to your food scale, an app, or a meal plan is neither ideal nor sustainable for life. There comes a point where these tools must only play their role when needed and are no longer necessary for daily living.
