214: Top 7 Anti-Diet Strategies For Fat Loss

214: Top 7 Anti-Diet Strategies For Fat Loss

Dieting didn’t work for me. Sure, I lost weight sometimes, but it was a  yo-yo cycle of deprivation followed by over-indulgence – of weight loss followed by weight gain (misery and obsession accompanying every step).

I got to the point where I realized that I was working hard, obsessing over food but not getting where I wanted to go and not achieving the goals that mattered most. In today’s episode I’m sharing my top 7 anti-diet strategies that allowed me to stop obsessing over food, stop dieting, get consistent, lose weight and keep it off.

If you feel like your approach isn’t working or isn’t giving you the results (or peace of mind) you want, don’t miss this episode!

Top 7 Anti-Diet Strategies for Fat Loss

  1. No short term strategies – short term strategies deliver short term results!
  2. No bashing (myself) – my behavior & choices will reflect the way I define myself with my thoughts & words
  3. Eat foods I love that love me back – loving food is not the problem, it’s part of the solution!
  4. Pay attention – pay more attention to my body than to all the information out there
  5. Keep my eyes on my own work – comparison is a terrible use of time, energy & emotion
  6. Stop listening to myself & start talking to myself – I am not my thoughts, I am the thinker
  7. High on veggies, moderate on protein/fat, watch the starch/sugar

213: Favorite Summer Meals For Fat Loss & Flavor

Today we’re talking about food! I’m sharing some of my favorite summer meals that are quick, easy, delicious and totally fat loss friendly!

In today’s episode I talk about the relationship between deprivation and temptation. Basically, the more you deprive yourself, the less you create fat loss friendly meals you actually enjoy, the more likely you are to be tempted by EVERYTHING. The less you’re enjoying your fat loss friendly foods, the lower the bar for something to tempt you.

So, if you can enjoy your food more, you’ll be less likely to overindulge in treats that just aren’t worth it!

Don’t miss today’s episode for some of my absolutely favorite summer meals that are flavorful, easy, affordable and fat loss friendly! Recipes & resources are below.

How To Schedule (Free) Automated Motivational Texts

I recently shared a tool I love with my Fat Loss Fast Track clients – automated text messages.

I use a free tool called IFTTT (If This, Then That) to trigger motivational, encouraging text messages to come to me at specific times of the day.

You can use IFTTT for a million things, but my clients are loving this resource to send encouraging text messages when they need them most – maybe after dinner or on their drive home from work.

If you struggle to make good choices after work, you might schedule a text that says, “You can do this! Just for today, make decisions that move you towards your goals!”

Or maybe you’ll simply write, “You can do hard things!”

I’ve created a simple tutorial video that you can view here on how to set these up.

First, you’ll need to create your free account on IFTTT.com and then I’ll walk you through the process step-by-step.

Definitely let me know if you use this and what you think!

Here’s to moving forward in the direction of your goals!

PS: If you haven’t heard my special announcement about ASCEND, the first ever Primal Potential weekend transformation event, listen to it now before it fills up! Not only will we spend an entire weekend together, we’ll spend the 4 weeks leading up to the event doing activities and challenges to more completely understand our unique challenges, struggles and self-limiting beliefs & behaviors!
