Why You Sometimes Toss Your Nutrition Goals Aside (and what to do instead)
08/02/24 • 27 min
Do you ever just feel like saying "Screw it!" to your nutrition goals? Maybe you are like some of our clients who feel like they have two modes: one in which they are very organized and diligent with paying attention to their health and nutrition and another mode where they just want to cut loose from all of that now and then. Sometimes, you might have a busy week or going through a difficult season and it just feels like too much work to try and do all of your "healthy things".
With our 1:1 clients, we can usually get them back to their behaviors because we speak to them each week, but what about if you aren't currently working with a coach? That's exactly what we are sharing with you in this episode! This topic was inspired, as many episodes are, by the conversations we have with our real life clients. Even our most dedicated clients just want to check out or not track for a while.
Join Georgie and Christina as we discuss real client examples and practical steps you can start taking today to keep yourself moving forward, even when it feels like your health needs to be put on the back burner. And, as always, if you would like some support or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

How to Eat Fewer Treats Without Going On a Diet Part 2
We are back again with another episode to discuss TREATS here at the Confident Eaters Headquarters!
In the previous episode, we talked about evaluating your treats for worthiness. We also pointed out that not all situations are ones where a treat can be fully enjoyed. We also touched on how FOMO can trick us into eating more treats than we would want to be consuming in order to make progress toward weight loss goals.
If you missed Part 1 of this episode, check it out HERE.
A lot of our clients reached out after listening to that first episode on treats and said they found it helpful and that they could always use more strategies for managing these low nutrition foods like chips, desserts, or donuts, while trying to lose weight. So welcome to Part 2!
If you would like some support learning how to reduce treats without falling into diet mentality or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

Research on Food Cravings : A Coaches Chat
When people are trying to change their food patterns, it's not always as straight forward as "just doing it". Why is that? What we see with our clients is that all sorts of things can get in the way like emotions, cravings, and food preferences. Join Georgie, Maryclaire, and Christina as we discuss what the research says about food cravings, what influences them, and how we can help our clients who deal with them.
We cover a range of questions in this episode:
- Do food cravings have anything to do with a nutrient deficiency? Are they related to hormones?
- Do they have anything to do with your physiological state? Or are they just psychological?
- How does marketing play a role in your food cravings?
- What is the difference between food "liking" (or preference) and a craving?
- What can you do if you are impacted by food cravings?
Many of of the people we talk to are interested in getting to the bottom of their food cravings and we are here to talk about it. We hope you enjoy this episode! And, if you would like some support in your health journey or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!
