Long-term Weight Loss is About More Than Your Diet Plan

“This is hard”

You have no idea how often clients sit in the chair across from me and say “this is hard”. My response…”yes it is”.

This was the scenario the other evening when I was working with Mary. (not her real name)

Mary and I are about 7 weeks into the process.  Last week she sat down and the first thing she said was “this is hard”. I agreed with her and we talked about why this was harder than what she did before.

Mary had worked with a nutritionist before and lost 25lbs. Within the year she gained back the 25lbs. She came to me wanting to lose the 20-25lbs she re-gained.  She had issues with night-time eating and unhealthy snacking at work. She revealed she is unhappy at work and sometimes bored and lonely at night.

Before it was about ‘eat this and not that’. As long as she exerted her will power and ate what she was told the weight came off. The weight came back on because she didn't address any of the reasons why she put on the weight in the first place.

The truth is, the work you need to do is hard. It's hard because it’s about more than me telling you what to eat, how to eat and food records (though all of these things are important for long-term weight loss and lifestyle changes.)  You address the crap that either went on in your life growing up, the crap going on in your life right now or both. There are reasons why people go on and off diets ALL the time. I did a survey that told me most people have tried more than 10 different diets in their lifetime to date.

Barbara came to me wanting to lose 100lbs. She doesn't feel well most of the time. She has a bucket list to fulfill and can’t do any of the things on her list carrying around the extra weight. Barbara and I have been working together for about a month. She’s been having a problem with the planning part especially in the evening. She said she couldn't stand on her feet long enough in the evening to cook herself a good dinner so often she ended up grazing throughout the night. Something about what she had been telling me wasn't adding up. She was able to take her dogs for a walk, make it to swimming class and told me she was busy throughout the day. I finally called her on her story of not being able to stand. As I suspected it was just an excuse. She had never been organized to plan dinners, ever. Because she never did it she found it challenging and she was admittedly lazy. If Barbara doesn't practice changing this way of thinking and the behavior that goes along with it she will never live her bucket list.

The Hard Truth About Dieting

Do you think about the struggle with dieting, losing weight and keeping it off? Do you think about the emotional ups and downs that always follow living on the same diet “roller coaster?”

The frustration of “cheating” on your diet, the constant tinge of hunger that goes along with starvation, and the realization that it’s just too easy to put all the weight you might lose after a diet right back on again…

All of this can come to an end if you learn how to change your habits, behaviors and the relationship you have with food.

Losing weight doesn’t have to be a struggle, it doesn’t have to be hard, and your body doesn’t need to make it a challenge—and right now I’d like to invite you to a free event that will show you exactly why.

                                                                                                                   

I've been dying to tell you this for some time but I've had to keep things "under wraps" until everything was set in stone…anyway, I can finally let the cat out of the bag!

Here's the deal:

I am hosting a digital summit where 21 nutritionists ,doctors, authors, psychologists, coaches, therapists  and other transformational experts will gather for 11 straight days to pour out 100% of their techniques, tools, trade secrets, and more!

It's known as the Right Mind, Right Weight Summit.

This isn’t just another “diet discussion” that will tell you about what you can and can’t eat or how much you have to exercise to see results. This event is focused on changing your perspective on healthy eating and why your thoughts, habits, and relationship with food are really the reasons you always re-gain the weight you lose and keeps you feeling stuck.

You’ll discover that losing weight doesn’t have to be difficult because you don’t need to “diet.”

All you need to do is register for this summit and create the habit, behaviors, and beliefs about food that result in natural choices.

Here’s the best part…

I want you to attend the event 100% free of charge. That means you (and whoever you would like to invite)! Invite all of your friends and family!

Because of your loyalty as a friend and follower I'd like to give you one of my exclusive invitations to attend this 11 day, transformational tele-summit event.

Spots are limited so you'll need to register via this link below:

To your health and wellness.

10 Diet and Nutrition Myths Debunked

10 Diet and Nutrition Myths Debunked

1)  All fats are bad- The fact is we all need fat. But not all fats are created equal. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are good for you and they won’t clog your arteries like saturated and trans fats.  Fats aid nutrient absorption and nerve transmission, and they help to maintain cell membrane integrity.

2)  Brown sugar is better than white sugar- Brown sugar is actually white sugar with added molasses.

3)  Sugar causes diabetes- If you have diabetes you do have to watch your sugar and carbohydrate intake. However, if you do not have diabetes, sugar intake will not cause you to develop the disease. The main risk factors are high calorie/high fat diets, being over weight and a sedentary lifestyle.

4)  Brown eggs are more nutritious than white eggs- Eggshell color has nothing to do with the quality, flavor, or nutritive value of the egg.  According to the Egg Nutrition Council egg shell color has to do with the breed of the hen.

5)  Avoid shellfish if you have high cholesterol- Dietary cholesterol found in seafood has little effect on blood cholesterol in most people. Saturated fats and trans fats are the most important factors that raise blood cholesterol.

6)  Avoid carbohydrates to lose weight-  Many low carb diets do not provide sufficient carbohydrates or calories to the body for daily maintenance so the body will begin to use stored carbohydrates (glycogen) for energy. When your body begins to use glycogen, it releases water. This is why you lose so much water weight (not fat) when you begin a low carb diet.  Your muscles and brain need complex carbs for energy so choose complex carbs that are high in fiber. Avoid the white empty carbs.

7)  Skipping meals can help you lose weight-  If you skip a meal your body will be in starvation mode and therefore slow down the metabolism to compensate. The tendency is to then overeat at the next meal because you are SO hungry. Eat regularly timed meals to keep you blood sugar balanced since insulin is a fat storing hormone.

8)  Avoid nuts because they are fattening- While its true that nuts are calorie dense, they are high in mono and poly unsaturated fats as well as plant sterols. All of which have been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. In 2003 the FDA approved a health claim that 1.5oz nuts per day as part of a low fat low cholesterol diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

9)  Red meat is bad for your health- Studies have shown a link between red meat and heart disease mainly because of the saturated fat content. Instead of giving up red meat, switch to leaner cuts of beef and pork. For beef choose top round, top sirloin and flank steak. For pork choose tenderloin and loin chops.

10)  Do not eat after 7-8 pm-  Everyone has heard that if you eat late at night anything you eat will automatically turn to fat. The truth is it’s your total caloric intake in a 24hr period that matters. Your metabolism is slower while you sleep than during the day so it is best not to eat a big meal before going to bed.
