Podcasts about Slimming World

Brace yourself for some brutal honesty in this episode. After working with over 1,000 women to help them ditch dieting, recover from disordered eating and make peace with food through intuitive eating - I've noticed that those who succeed think differently than those who either continue to struggle or who give up.   Today, I'm breaking down the 7 ways that people who are the most successful with becoming intuitive eaters think differently and approach the process differently.    Trust me, it's different from "just listen to your body" or gaslighting yourself into body positivity. This is about the actual ways that you are wiring your brain to relate to food and your body differently - SO THAT intuitive eating can fully work for you and allow you to become happier, healthier and comfortable in your body.    Episode Highlights -The key thought patterns that need to change if you want intuitive eating to fully work for you.   -Why most people either skip or don't know how to do the body image work…and how this holds them back from making peace with food.   -The characteristics of someone who has become an intuitive eater (and how to tell if you're there yet or not!)   Today's Wellness Woo is Slimming World.   Resources Mentioned: - Join me for Stepping Off The Dieting Rollercoaster  - Free Body Image Journal Prompts - Join Non-Dieter's Club - my signature coaching program   Read the full episode show notes here.   Resources for Your Intuitive Eating Journey: -Join Katy's Intuitive Eating Made Easy Facebook Group! -Work with Katy -Join Katy's weekly email newsletter -Free Guide: Stop the Constant Food Obsession   Connect with Katy Harvey: Website Instagram Facebook   Subscribe and Review   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts   I would be thrilled if you could rate and review my podcast!

You've counted calories. You've cut carbs. You've tried keto, Slimming World, Weight Watchers, fasting, detoxes, and probably more.   So why do you always end up back where you started? In this episode of the Shane Walsh Podcast, we explore the uncomfortable truth that most people haven't actually failed diets—they've been stuck in a cycle where every new plan promises a solution without addressing the real problem.   If you've ever found yourself thinking: "I've tried everything." "I just can't stay consistent." "Maybe I don't have enough willpower." ...this episode is for you.   Online coaching www.shanewalshfitness.com/onlinecoaching

If you think losing weight means giving up your favourite foods or relying on willpower forever, this episode will change the way you think. Jacqueline lost an incredible 33.7kg (5 stone 4lbs)—and says she's never been hungry throughout the process.In this follow-up conversation, six months after her first appearance on the podcast, Jacqueline shares what has happened since joining Live360. After decades of trying every diet imaginable—from Weight Watchers and Slimming World to cabbage soup diets and cutting carbs—she finally found the missing piece that helped her break free from emotional eating and endless yo-yo dieting.Before starting the programme, Jacqueline struggled with everyday movement. Tying her shoes was difficult, walking caused pain, and she worried she wouldn't be able to enjoy a planned trip to Japan with her family. Fast forward to today, and she's walking for miles, taking the stairs instead of escalators, running to fitness classes, and enjoying a level of freedom she never thought possible.In this episode, you'll discover:Why traditional diets kept failing—even when they worked in the short term.The mindset shift that helped Jacqueline stop emotional eating for good.How she learned to enjoy holidays, restaurants, and social events without gaining weight.Why she no longer feels controlled by sugar cravings, crisps, or food noise.The difference between eating for comfort and eating for fuel.How changing her environment made healthy choices feel effortless.Why lasting weight loss isn't about more willpower—it's about changing your identity and habits.One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is hearing Jacqueline explain how food no longer controls her life. Instead of constantly thinking about snacks or using food to cope with stress or boredom, she now enjoys balanced, protein-focused meals, feels satisfied between meals, and makes conscious decisions without feeling deprived.If you're a woman over 40 struggling with emotional eating, menopause weight gain, or the frustration of losing weight only to regain it, this episode offers real hope. Jacqueline's story proves that sustainable weight loss isn't about finding the next diet—it's about changing the way you think, building healthier habits, and creating a lifestyle you can actually maintain.If you're ready to stop dieting and finally create lasting food freedom, book a Food Freedom Breakthrough Call to learn how Live360 can help you.

In today's episode, I'm sharing Week 3 of this very personal series where I'm documenting grief alongside my health and weight loss journey. Normally, we talk about fitness, mindset, and taking practical steps forward—but this series is about what happens when life hits hard and everything feels shaken. I lost my dad recently after years of dementia, and this episode is recorded just after laying him to rest. I talk openly about the funeral, the emotions that surprised me, the moments of laughter mixed with sadness, and the experience of saying goodbye in a way that felt deeply human, imperfect, and real. Dementia is cruel. It doesn't just affect one person—it changes families, routines, plans, and futures. For years, it quietly controlled our lives, and now there's space where that constant pressure once lived. In this episode, I reflect on what that space feels like, and how I'm beginning to steady myself again. Because even in grief, I know one thing to be true: change doesn't happen without action. With Lent beginning, I share what I'm choosing to stop doing—not coffee, not chocolate—but the habit of finding reasons not to move my body. I'm committing to moving three times a week for at least 30 minutes and writing it down, without worrying about perfection. Walking, classes, fresh air, even walking up to the cemetery to say hello to my dad—all of it counts. This episode is messy, emotional, and unfinished—and that's exactly the point. I invite you to reflect on your own journey and ask yourself: What could you do for your health that doesn't need to look perfect? What small action could you take, even if life feels chaotic? Where might you be waiting for the “right time” instead of taking a step now? Grief doesn't come with rules, timelines, or neat edges. Neither does progress. If you're navigating loss, feeling stuck, or struggling to find your footing again, I hope this episode reminds you that it's okay to move forward while still hurting—and that doing something imperfectly is still doing something. I'll be back for Week 4 to share how things are settling and how this commitment to movement is going. Thank you for listening. Thank you for holding space for my dad's memory. And thank you for being here with me.

  This week has been heavy. While there's been a desire to focus on many things, planning food and movement simply hasn't felt possible — and that's been part of the reality. Ironically, the intention behind recording these six weeks was to build momentum and gently shift habits. But grief has its own pace, and this week made that very clear. The weight of it is real, and it doesn't follow plans. Rather than investing in stories about how this period should feel or what's expected, I've chosen to tell myself a different story about the grief I'm experiencing. Not because it removes the pain — but because sitting under a dark cloud and letting it take over doesn't feel like a choice I'm willing to make. In this episode, I share how I'm simplifying food by ordering online to make quick, nourishing meals easier, and why that matters right now. I also talk about turning to art as a release — christening the easel and allowing creativity to hold some of what words can't. I reflect honestly on noticing patterns of addictive behaviour, how the idea of wine began to feel like comfort, and why I made the decision to keep no wine in the house during this time. This episode is about gentleness, awareness, and choosing care — even when everything feels heavy. In this episode: Navigating food when energy and motivation are low Letting go of expectations around grief Creating simple systems to support nourishment Using art as an emotional outlet Recognising and responding to addictive patterns Making conscious choices during a vulnerable week

I'm sharing something deeply personal. January is often filled with talk of fresh starts and motivation — but real life doesn't always follow that script. Over the last few weeks, my family has been living through the realities of dementia, loss, and grief, and I wanted to speak honestly about what that has meant for my health, my mindset, and my relationship with food. This episode isn't about perfection. It's about compassion, steadiness, and choosing not to abandon yourself when life feels overwhelming. In this episode, I talk about: Living through dementia and the loss of my dad The emotional weight of care, advocacy, and grief Why binge eating didn't return — even during intense stress Letting go of shame around weight gain Gentle, realistic intentions instead of pressure How creativity  supports me right now Why health still matters — even (and especially) in grief If you've experienced dementia, loss, or a season where everything feels heavier than usual, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone. This podcast is free of editing because in life sometimes we have to take the rough with the smooth and not be afraid to show our messy parts.  Get the first 3 modules of “Ease Your Mind” mini-course now for FREE https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/Ease-your-mind

In today's episode, I'm sharing an update I never thought I'd be able to say out loud: it's now around four years since I last ate chocolate, cakes or sweets. I'm talking about where my binge eating started, how sugary foods became my comfort and my reward, and why nothing I tried could touch those cravings for long. I walk you through the turning point during my hypnotherapy training – the deep emotional release that shook my whole body, the work we did on repressed fear, and the specific hypnosis that made chocolate and sweets taste unbearably sweet. From that point on, I simply couldn't eat them in the same way again, and my relationship with food began to shift for good. I also share honestly about choosing to take the Mounjaro jab in 2025 . I explain what it did to my hunger and “food noise”, the side effects I noticed when I increased my dose, the weight I lost, and why I decided to come off it before reaching a final goal weight. This episode is for anyone who feels ruled by cravings, is curious about hypnosis, or worries what life looks like after stopping a weight loss jab.   Get the first 3 modules of “Ease Your Mind” mini-course now for FREE https://www.claireoldhamwest.com/Ease-your-mind
