Today I Cover:
Many of us were raised with negative beliefs around food—taught to fear fats, avoid carbs, and chase quick-fix diets in order to look a certain way. In this episode, I’m breaking down four common food myths that may be sabotaging your progress, and sharing powerful mindset shifts that support long-term, healthy weight loss.
What You’ll Learn:
🥑 Not All Fats Are Bad – Learn the difference between healthy fats (like olive oil, nuts, and seeds), saturated fats (best in moderation), and trans fats (the ones to avoid). – Discover why incorporating good fats can actually support brain and heart health, reduce inflammation, and improve your overall wellness.
🍞 Not All Carbs Are Bad – Understand the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates—and how each plays a role in your energy and metabolism. – Learn how to manage cravings by stabilizing your blood sugar, instead of cutting out carbs completely. This is the key to losing weight sustainably.
🥗 Whole Foods Over Fads – Why fad diets often lead to yo-yo weight changes, and how focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods creates lasting results. – Small, consistent changes can help you build better habits and a healthier relationship with food.
🧠 Rewiring Food Beliefs – You can create a positive, balanced relationship with food. It starts with awareness, intentional choices, and dropping the guilt. – Adjust your current meals by slowly adding in more nourishing foods rather than removing everything at once.
🌟 Key Takeaways:
Your relationship with food doesn’t need to feel complicated or filled with guilt.
Adding more whole foods into your day (instead of removing everything at once) can lead to natural, sustainable progress.
It’s okay to want more while being grateful for where you are—growth and gratitude can exist at the same time.
And much more!
