EPISODE 17: How to Beat the Family 'Fat Gene'

06/11/24 • 25 min

In this week's episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast, I respond to a client's email who is beginning to recognize that she had inherited outdated, unhelpful beliefs that caused her to self-sabotage.

Due to her family history, she internalized a negative narrative about the women in her family being doomed to be fat, especially after having children and ageing. This belief was so deeply rooted in her subconscious that she didn't even realize how it was influencing the way she was interacting with food today.

Upon closer inspection and with the help of the Unstuffed program, she has recognized how these self-limiting beliefs and lifelong habits that have gone unchecked aren't actually written in stone. In fact, quite the opposite.

With intentional effort and a clear plan of action, not-only can they be changed, but they can change your life in a dramatic way... without eliminating your favorite foods or doing mind-numbing cardio.

To hear her story and to learn how she's adopting the thoughts and eating habits of a 'naturally thin' person that has contributed to a signifcant weight loss in the past 6 weeks, check out today's full episode.

EPISODE 16: The Problem With Getting "Back on Track"

If you're you've ever said:

"I don't know when I'll get to eat this again."

"I need to eat all of this now because tomorrow it's back to the diet!"

"I'll get back on track on Monday."

This tells me you're someone who struggles with the "all-or-nothing" mindset. Unfortunately, when you have this thought pattern, it makes consistency nearly impossible to achieve. And consistency is essential for success.

This week I discuss how to drop the "back on track" perfectionist mindset creates a cycle of self-sabotage and how you can break it, once and for all.

It's impossible to achieve your goal if every time you have a minor setback, you quit on yourself and if that sounds like you, this week's episode is a must listen.

EPISODE 18: If You Haven't Lost Weight in the Past 3 Months, Here's Why

Do you know what the absolute stupidest thing most people do that keeps them unfit is?

I mean the absolute LITERAL dumbest thing that can keep you from accomplishing any goal.

It doesn't matter if you want to get rich; it'll keep you poor. Want to lose weight? This will keep you fat. Want to be in a relationship? This mistake will keep you single.

Here's the thing about this blindingly stupid mistake -- it's not also the most common mistake I see people make, it's also the most obvious.

Which SHOULD make it easy to avoid. So, why is everyone making the mistake? Is it because we're all so damn stupid?

No. It's because we're human.

The mistake, you see, is not executing. Literally, doing nothing.

Or, more specifically, NOT doing the things we know we need to be doing to achieve our goal.

How do we guarantee that we'll take action? How do we make sure we stop messing around and do the things we NEED to do?

Simple: accountability.

Ask any coach, or anyone who has every been coached, or anyone who has ever done ANYTHING how they did it.

The answer, whatever it may be, always touches on some form of accountability. But there are 3 other factors that contribute to this as well. Can you name them?

If you haven't lost weight in the past 3 months, it's for one of these 4 reasons. You don't want to make this mistake. Check out today's episode to ensure you're not wasting precious time on a dead-end process that will never work.
