No Wellness Wankery

Do you feel like you are doing all the "right" things but you can't seem to lose weight. You are counting calories or counting macros - never straying from the plan - and yet nothing seems to be happening.
If it feels like your body is fighting against you when you try to lose those last few kilograms, it’s because of your body IS fighting against you.

This used to be Lyndi. When she was a dieter, she punished herself to try and look better in a bikini. She wasted time wondering why she was gaining weight even though her food consumption was perfectly calculated.

It made everything harder... But not anymore.
Because through learning about intuitive eating, she discovered the real secret to health.
Just take a handful of almonds!
Don’t count them. In fact, you don’t need to count anything including macros, points and calories. It’s soul sucking and makes healthy eating painful. You can only count for so long before you feel deprived.
You don’t want to spend the rest of your life counting... you just want to be able to eat and enjoy and be happy.
Count the things you should be grateful for. Way more effective.

Recently, a lovely client called Elizabeth reached out to me inside my Keep it Real program - a program to help people recover from binge eating disorder and stop emotional eating.

She mentioned that she was struggling with binge eating and ADHD. She says she constantly forget that she is trying to ditch dieting, gets bored with exercise and struggles with impulse control.
Did you know people with ADHD are more likely to struggle with binge eating disorder?
But have you ever wondered why?
Forgotten meals, binge eating, struggling to exercise, and boredom eating – if these things sound familiar to you. Listen up!
I am so pumped to have Becca King join me for this episode.
Becca aka @adhd.nutritionist is an ADHDer helping fellow adult ADHDers.
Becca is a nutritionist and dietitian who will help break down the complexities of ADHD and its link with binge eating disorder. Basically, she's pretty great.
So, what are we chatting about?

• the role of various foods and nutrition and eating patterns in managing ADHD.
• experiments to determine how different foods affect us and satisfy our cravings.
• the need for a balance between routine and novelty.
• balancing intuitive eating with meal planning, especially for those times when ADHD medication may make your hunger cues difficult to hear.
• various ways to honour all forms of hunger.

Meet our next real story guest, Tanya.
Tanya has suffered from disordered eating and various eating disorders her entire life. From the pressures of dance classes at the young age of 5, to the influence of her all-girls schooling, Tanya's story is unfortunately relatable, but her recovery is inspiring.

Join Lyndi as she explores Tanya's journey from restrictive eating and excessive exercise to bingeing during her teenage years, and her path to recovery through Lyndi’s Keep It Real program.

They chat about how recognising and validating your own emotions can help cope with difficult days, and how a compassionate approach to oneself is crucial when dealing with disordered eating.

Tanya reveals her ultimate source of inspiration: her four-year-old daughter. As a single mother, Tanya is determined to rebuild her relationship with food and her body, becoming a healthy role model for her child.

This conversation serves as a reminder to anyone struggling with disordered eating: recovery is possible, and it's never too late to embark on a journey of healing and self-acceptance.

They say you can never have too much of a good thing.
And yes, there are a few things I believe this statement applies to: holidays, puppies and beach swims.
But two things that can definitely be taken to the extreme are healthy eating and exercising.
Don’t get me wrong – You only get one body, and it’s important to take care of it. But it is absolutely possible to go overboard with eating healthy and exercising, and you can end up doing far more harm than good.
Sarah Liz King is an accredited exercise physiologist who has dedicated her career to promoting safe and effective exercise practices for individuals with disordered eating, eating disorders, exercise addiction, and hypothalamic amenorrhea.

Ever wondered if stress can affect your period?
If you haven’t heard of hypothalamic amenorrhea before, it is a condition where your period stops due to things like excessive stress, intense exercise, low body weight, or certain eating habits.

She works to help women un-learn toxic diet culture and provide a science-backed, holistic approach to mental and physical wellness that will last a lifetime.She is basically my type of woman. Let's do this.

Have you ever found yourself in a carb conundrum.. Staring down a plate of pasta while your diet plan screams "NO"? I, Lyndi Cohen, certainly have. And I'm ready to spill the beans on the love-hate relationship we have with carbohydrates.
Listen up, as this week's episode we dive head-first into the murky waters of diet culture, starting with my own story involving a Hens party, an Italian restaurant and my low-carb misadventures. Not a match-made-in-heaven you could say!
Let me take you on a journey through the ups and downs of my diet obsession and how I found my way to intuitive eating. A liberating approach where I've learned to listen to my body's natural hunger cues. WITHOUT the guilt.
Waving a big Bye-Bye to the crappy low-carb craze, this episode is all about setting the record straight on carbohydrates. From energy slumps to the social minefield of mealtime choices, we'll bust the myths that have unfairly demonised this essential (and super delicious!) nutrient.
I'll reveal the pesky side effects of cutting carbs . Which may shock you! By the end of our chat, you'll see carbohydrates in a whole new light – as your body's best bud and preferred energy source. NOT the bad guy!
