March 26, 2024 09:00 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB

Have you ever noticed how everyone in the diet industry sounds the same? Everyone wants you to eat more vegetables, get more sleep, drink more water, and exercise more.   I don’t disagree with this advice, but here’s the problem – it's surface level advice. It’s what the 95% are doing and it’s why you’re in the Defeated Dieter stage.   This is why you’re feeling stuck and frustrated while circling the diet drain.   You’re trying to make change from the action piece of your lives,...

EPISODE 6: Why You Overeat

March 19, 2024 09:00 - 31 minutes - 29.3 MB

Once you’ve come to grips with the concept that all overeating is rooted in having an emotional experience, you'll need to learn how to work through them in a healthy way that doesn’t involve stuffing them down with food. In two decades of coaching, I’ve never had a client tell me they’re comfortable sitting with their emotions when they surface — their coping mechanism is almost always a distraction; a way to numb or mentally check out through exercise, watching TV, eating, etc. Because...

EPISODE 4: "I Know HOW to Lose Weight, So WHY Can't I Do It?"

March 05, 2024 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

Is there anything more frustrating than knowing EXACTLY HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT, but not be able to do it? You've read the books, you've listened to the podcasts, you've purchased the gym membership, and you've bought the program, but yet you STILL can't do it.   WHY does this happen?

On this week’s episode, Coach Steph Miramontes joins me to discuss the 7 habits required to lose weight permantly.   The first step: You have to lose the dieter’s mindset.   Most of the women I’ve had the pleasure of working with do what all the other dieters do — they practice being overweight and seeking a magical solution.   Instead, you should be practicing what natural eaters do, NOT what overweight women do.

EPISODE 235: How to Delay Instant Gratification for Permanent Weight Loss

January 29, 2024 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MB

Slow and steady wins the race, but dieters crave fast, fierce, and furious for their weight loss programs.   Instant gratification dominates the mindsets of most dieters. They want quick solutions and quicker results.   Consider what causes you to pursue a long-term project - like writing a book, building a relationship, learning an instrument, etc.   With long-term projects, sooner or later, we need evidence that we’re making progress. Without it, it would seem silly to continue...

January 22, 2024 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB

In recent years, walking 10,000-steps-a-day has become the marker for a 'successful' day of movement.   You can barely walk down the street without someone stomping past you wearing a FitBit.

January 15, 2024 10:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MB

Binge eaters think that they have an 'eating too much food' problem, and this is why they can't lose weight.   And while there is certainly truth to that, it's not the whole story. We spend only a few hours per week eating, but we spend 168 hours without our thoughts, and it's these same thoughts that cause us to struggle.   Food isn't the problem; it's how we THINK, FEEL, and INTERACT with food that's our biggest hindrance.   Join Coach Steph and me as we drop the hammer on your...

EPISODE 223: The Damaging Effects of Social Media on Dieting & Body Image

October 23, 2023 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

Studies show that 88% of women compare themselves to images they observe on social media, with over half of them suggesting it makes them feel worse about themselves.   Unfortuntely, this also contributes to the objectification of bodies, and as a result, bodies on social media are often looked at like objects instead of human bodies given to us as a vessel to explore the planet.   Because humans have a natural need to seek approval and avoid disapproval, we find ourselves caught in t...

EPISODE 222: The Scale - Why You Need to Let Go of the Number to Achieve Faster Results

October 16, 2023 09:02 - 38 minutes - 45.2 MB

When it smiles in our favor, we're walking on cloud 9 and nothing can bring us down.   When it shows us a number other than the one we want, it can send us into a mental and physical tailspin.   The scale is a neutral device made of plastic and metal...until we attach meaning and our worth to it. When we take a closer look at the amount of power we give it in our lives, neutral is the furthest thing from the truth.   In this episode, Coach Steph Miramontes and I talk about how to...

After struggling with late-night cravings, dieters end up in the kitchen (despite not wanting to be in the kitchen) shoveling chips in their mouth (without wanting to shovel chips in their mouths).
