What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

Today's narcissistic ramblings include:
Raspberries and Freezer Filming
"Imagine if you're just trying to do your shop after a long day... and you've got someone in the way, putting a camera in the freezer so they can walk away from it, walk back to it, and open the door to pull out the raspberries."
"Here's me in a public space, trying to record a video of me picking up raspberries. God, it sickens me."
Frozen Pizza and Shoppers' Frustration
"You're rushing to pick up frozen pizza out of the freezer... tired, knackered, and someone is blocking the way with a camera filming raspberries."
Whinge Fest and Filming Criticism
"This has just turned into another whinge fest, hasn't it? Just me ranting about people filming themselves pushing a trolley around Aldi or Lidl."
"The only thing more embarrassing than consistently filming your weekly shop is someone whinging about it."
Shopping Trends and Procrastination
"Seeing someone's Aldi shop as inspiration? No, it's just another form of procrastination."
"You don't need to see the shop. The first time it happened, maybe. But now? No, you don’t."

10/15/24 • 92 min

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

A polite reminder that the PG ChatGPT summary below does not, in anyway reflect the tone of Push Pull Health...
Skip to the end to hear our thoughts on the film Shallow Hal...
Curious about the latest buzz surrounding weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy?
We break down the science behind these medications, originally developed for diabetes, now making waves in the world of weight management. Learn how these drugs interact with hormones like insulin, glucagon, leptin, and ghrelin to regulate blood sugar and control appetite.
We also explore the societal implications, the controversies, and the critical role of sustainable lifestyle changes in achieving long-term health goals.
Ever heard of "Ozempic face" or wondered about the emotional and psychological impacts of significant weight loss? We cover it all— from the gaunt appearance that can result from rapid weight loss to the importance of maintaining muscle mass through resistance training.
The episode also highlights the complex relationship between food, addiction, and emotional well-being, featuring thought-provoking discussions on addiction transfer and the environmental factors contributing to obesity.
Buckle up for an informative, engaging, and occasionally humorous exploration of health, fitness, and the multifaceted nature of weight management!

Push Pull Health - The Grinch That Saved Christmas With Mindfulness

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S. Survival Guide – Rotten Attitude Edition 🏋️🤢🥗
Not feeling the "most wonderful time of the year" vibes?
You're not alone.
In this episode, we break down a no-BS approach to surviving the holiday season with the slightly wet/lame C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S. acronym:
C = Create or Crap on the Fun of It.
Find a safe space to crap all over Christmas if it's not your thing. Don't let the holiday nonsense force its "most wonderful time of the year" propaganda down your throat.
H = Have a Laugh. Or Not.
You don't have to fake joy just to fit in. Practise as much Holiday JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) as possible.
R = Reset with Realistic Expectations
Don't promise yourself a complete life overhaul on January 1st.
I = Intentional Time with Others and Yourself.
You'll be obligated to spend time with people you don't want to. Prioritise making time for yourself!
S = Saying No to Additional Shit You Don't Need
Ride the wave of mindfulness—stay present and accept the natural ebbs and flows of cravings, urges, and emotions without letting them overwhelm you.
T = Track Your Mornings and Evenings.
The best morning routine starts with a solid evening routine.
M = Make Peace with the Overconsumption.
Did you eat and drink it all? Good. As Jocko says: "Good." Move on.
A = Accept That It Might Take Until Next Christmas to See Real Change
30 days is just the beginning. Let go of the idea that everything needs to go according to plan.
S = Start Fresh Before the New Year
Don't let a date on the calendar dictate when you start over.

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

Narcissistic ramblings:
"Restriction is necessary, but it doesn't need to be extreme."
Some form of restriction must exist, but it doesn't mean juice cleansing, counting sins, or going low-carb. Just do what's realistic and sustainable.
"Tomorrow is where dreams go to die."
You can't keep putting things off. Even when it's hard, you've got to wade through the excuses and get it done today.
"Networking meetings are unbearable."
These meetings are cliquey and boring. It's just people huddled in corners talking to their friends. Why can't we turn them into speed-dating sessions? Shake hands, talk to new people, and actually network.
"No one's watching, so I could just keep trying."
At this stage, it doesn't matter how it looks. The important thing is to keep trying and figuring it out as you go.
"Stop winging it and take responsibility."
If you want results, you must stop making excuses and step up. Whether it's networking, dieting, or fitness, do it properly.

What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

2 Week Trial on the app Ben keeps banging on about
Push Health Health Calorie Calculator
The Psychology of Dieting and a Review of the Film 'One Hour Photo.'
One of the key takeaways from the episode is the complex reality of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
We discuss how social media can distort our perception of health, promoting unrealistic body standards and overnight transformations that are often not sustainable or healthy.
We emphasize the need to move away from the allure of quick fixes offered by the fitness industry and toward a measured approach that encourages consistent effort over time.
Many of us fall into the trap of rushing through dieting to see quick results, but we highlight that the scale can be misleading. Factors like water retention, menstrual cycles, and muscle gain can affect weight without truly reflecting the changes in our bodies.
We also debunk the myth that weightlifting will automatically lead to bulky muscles, clarifying that 'toning up' is actually about losing body fat to reveal lean muscle.
Through personal stories and practical advice, we provide listeners with strategies to navigate the minefield of eating habits, calorie management, and the challenges of maintaining motivation for exercise.
ALSO...
Ben's got another vest on.
We talk about Conor McGregor's greasy neck.
We discover Fiona's age. SHE OLD!
