A Primal Potential Thanksgiving

Holidays don’t have to mean overindulging and feeling stuffed-to-discomfort. They also don’t have to mean missing out on delicious food!

I want you to enjoy every single bite but still feel really great after the meals are over!

While there’s nothing wrong with enjoying time-tested family recipes, there’s also nothing wrong with finding healthier alternatives that make you feel better physically!

I want you to create that sweet spot where you love the food AND feel great about it! 

No matter what you choose to eat, fat loss friendly or not, remember that food isn’t all that enjoyable when you eat too much of it! Stay within the lines of what is going to help you feel your very best!

With all that in mind, I’ve put together a Primal Potential recipe roundup of a few fat loss friendly paleo and primal Thanksgiving recipes! There’s no reason to not love and enjoy every bite of food you eat this Thanksgiving!

Roasted Garlic Parsnip Cauliflower Mash – I’m making this one for sure!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Bacon (I might throw in some cranberries!)

Turkey & Cranberry Meatballs (can you imagine how amazing these would be with spaghetti squash?!)

Cornish Game Hens with Egg & Sausage Stuffing (um, yes please!)

Breadless Mushroom & Cauliflower Stuffing

Coconut Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Green Bean Casserole

Stuffed Double Pork & Sage Baked Apples (yesssss!)

What are you eating for Thanksgiving? Cranberry bread is a big staple in my family but honestly, it’s not worth it to me anymore. I feel better, physically & emotionally, when I stick to meat & veggies. If I stumble upon homemade red velvet cake, I’ll absolutely have a few bites, but I won’t go past the point of feeling good about it both while I eat and after.

Enjoy the day and enjoy your food!

259: Do You Know What To Eat For Your Goals?

259: Do You Know What To Eat For Your Goals?

Today’s episode is an activity I want you to go through with me. I’m going to ask you a series of questions and I want you to write your answers down on paper.

Sometimes, we aren’t doing what it takes to make progress because we haven’t defined the work we need to do. If that’s your problem, I’m going to help you define it today.

Other times, we aren’t doing what it takes because of mental or emotional barriers. As I’ll share in today’s episode, many people’s issues aren’t food or fitness but rather self-talk, self-discipline or self-doubt.

We’ll start with a basic question “Do you know what to eat for your goals?” and take it from there.

If you’re looking to overcome your internal barriers, be sure to check out FAQs about Breaking Barriers here or enroll here.

259: Do You Know What To Eat For Your Goals?

258: 4 Required Skills You Can’t Be Successful Without (And How To Practice Them)

In episode 257 I talked about the danger of diets. I repeated what I’ve said a million times before: short term strategies lead to short term solutions.

However, I talked about how there aren’t short cuts to lasting success. If you want to not yo-yo diet anymore, if you want to not obsess about food and weight loss for the rest of your life, if you want to feel like you can enjoy indulgences without guilt or regression, there are certain skills you HAVE to build and most diets aren’t teaching them.

In today’s episode, I’m talking in more detail about those 4 skills and going through specific, real-life examples of how you can begin to build them today.

4 Required Skills You Can’t Be Successful Without

  1. Thinking before you act & not being owned by your impulses or emotions
  2. Living in the middle (not being only “on” or “off”)
  3. Becoming a “now” person (and not putting off your goals until tomorrow, next week or next month)
  4. Paying more attention to your body and your goals than other people or programs

In today’s episode I’ll explain why these are critical skills required for success but also how you can begin practicing them today.

257: The Appeal of a New Diet – What No One Is Telling You

I think we can all relate to being attracted by a diet promising rapid results. We want the results and that matters more, in the moment, than whether or not we can sustain them.

I loved what I read in a recent issue of The Harvard Business Review:

The good news is, you’re making good time. The bad news is, you’re lost.

All too often, we care more about pace than sustainability.

This means that we do the same work over and over, we spend far too much time, money and energy on results we won’t sustain.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing something that most people aren’t talking about.

It’s really not about how you lose the weight. It’s about whether or not you develop the life skills you’ll need to sustain your results.
