Hey babes, welcome to the Manifesting Doll podcast.

(01:02):
I'm Barbara Orban from NoDietBabe.com and today I want to talk about a very
important topic and that is,
I'm going to be talking about nutrition but I'm going to be talking about it
with law of attraction mixed into it.
So this is the spiritual slash science, it's like the science and spiritual

(01:27):
combined aspect of nutrition.
So I really am excited to share this episode with you.
And to be honest with you, I talk a little bit about nutrition, but not a lot.
And that's mainly because I want to
give you the mindset perspective and manifestation perspective of weight.

(01:47):
Because if you're here, I would hope that you know that your thoughts create
your reality and that everything is energy.
And what does that even mean that everything is energy? It means that when you
talk about manifestation and you're like, I believe in manifestation and I use
manifestation to manifest things in my life.
So I've used it to to manifest my career. I've used it to manifest money,

(02:11):
a partner, a job, a house, like whatever materialistic things you're saying
that you use it to manifest.
And I heard somebody say once that maybe people are confused about weight loss
manifestation because they think that manifestation is about bringing things towards you,
which is like really weird that people think that because Because it's like, well,

(02:35):
if you actually understand that we live in a vibrational universe,
meaning that everything is made up of the same thing.
So if you're sitting in a chair right now or you're driving your car,
you're walking or you're doing
your dishes, like everything around you is made up of the same thing.
It's made up of energy, right? When we...

(02:57):
Dive deep into the cells of your body so it's like your body and what it's made
up of you're like oh I have organs oh these organs have cells and when you zoom
in enough it's really just these.
Subatomic particles and then what even into that it's it's just energy like
it is just literally energy and everything is made up of the same thing this

(03:19):
is just basic physics right if you did physics in high school,
you would have learned this.
This is not just law of attraction knowledge.
This is just basic science that you would have learned if you did physics in
high school, which I did.
I did physics in high school, which I think that that plays a part into doing

(03:41):
that high level of physics in my final years of school.
That's part of the reason why I have a very scientific way way of looking at
manifestation and just understanding that you cannot, you cannot physically,
you cannot understand manifestation if you don't understand that it's the same for weight loss, okay?

(04:05):
You're missing the point, right? If you only think that manifestation is about
bringing things towards you,
if you don't understand that your body is made up of the same things that you're
trying to manifest towards you
and that you use the same process to make physical change to your body.
Or if you have health issues, it's a manifestation of your thoughts, right?

(04:28):
So people get super caught up in diet being the reason why they have health issues, okay?
So the world is fixated on diet being the cause of disease and diet being the cause of weight issues.
And that is like, if you believe in manifestation, that would be like saying that.

(04:54):
That the government is responsible for everything, right?
And if you do manifestation, can you imagine a money mindset manifestation coach saying to you,
oh, you're not actually having trouble with money because of your thoughts,
you're having trouble with money because you can't possibly believe that you

(05:17):
will be successful in a business doing what you're trying to do,
like as if you're going to be successful with that type of business because
there's already too many of those businesses out there and that's the reason
why your business isn't succeeding.
So you're better off quitting that business and getting a job because that's just not possible.

(05:37):
It's because of that thing that you're not succeeding versus no,
like a manifestation coach wouldn't do that. a manifestation coach would dive
into the beliefs that that person has about money.
They'd look at their money story. They'd look at their business story.
They'd look at so many different things relating to their thoughts because their
thoughts and their feelings are creating the vibration that's drawing like attracts like.

(06:02):
It's drawing those events to them. It's creating that reality, right?
And so when people have trouble, I see even manifestation coaches themselves
be completely blindsided to how incorrectly they're speaking about weight loss
manifestation because they don't understand the energetics of weight loss.

(06:23):
They may understand energetics of money, but that does not mean they understand
the energetics of weight loss.
And so this is really important because the other thing I see as well is –.
I see people who perhaps know about the metaphysical aspect of disease and health-related

(06:45):
things and weight loss, but they're still stuck in a dieting mindset.
And the dieting mindset is out of thinking that everything is about your diet.
So it is just isolating and kind of like hyper-fixating on diet.
And chronic dieters, and I talk about the chronic dieting paradigm because it's
really important to understand that it is a paradigm and there's different paradigms that exist.

(07:10):
So you can live in a paradigm where you're constantly dieting and you're constantly
associating anything that goes wrong with your health or your weight and you
immediately associate that with your diet.
Now, when you live like that, your weight will likely fluctuate.
And you will have these conditions that you've created around your weight and your reality.

(07:38):
Now, I don't choose to live like that. I created a different paradigm because
I wanted freedom from the fluctuations.
My biggest value system behind what I've
manifested is I want freedom
in the sense of I don't want weight fluctuations and
I also don't want a poor relationship to food okay

(07:59):
and in order to do this in order to
create this dynamic I had to understand what
the dieting mindset was and I had to see how majority of people operate through
that way of thinking and so I had to think differently and if you think about
like when you're working on your money mindset it might be the same thing like

(08:20):
you might stop consuming the news like you You might be like, wow,
the news is really painting the world in a fearful, fear-mongering light.
It's really just focusing on the negative.
It's really just focusing on how everything is bad and scary and the money is
going to run out and it's bad and it gives me anxiety.

(08:40):
And so I'm going to choose not to watch the news.
And you will find a lot of manifestation coaches encourage this.
They'll say, stop consuming media.
That's fear-mongering. Okay. okay, stop consuming media, that is fear-mongering.
But then what I see is those same people then consume nutrition knowledge,

(09:02):
nutrition content, that is fear-mongering.
And the problem is that I think there's a lack of understanding and education
about what fear-mongering actually is with food.
And because nutrition and looking after your health is often like this this
sought-out thing by spiritual people because they do really care about themselves.

(09:25):
It's coming from a good place. They have a value system of looking after themselves,
and it's coming from a good place that they want to...
You know, logically, they're like, well, I want to learn about my health.
Well, I want to look after myself.
So I'm going to listen to these people that are talking about health.
But they're missing the piece of understanding nutritional psychology, okay?

(09:51):
They're missing that piece of understanding the difference between fear-mongering
nutritional content and content that is unnecessarily extreme in its portrayal of food, right?
Unnecessarily extreme in the portrayal of nutrition, okay?

(10:11):
Unnecessary is the word here because remember, we are creating our reality with our thoughts.
And so if we choose to believe and more and more like the collective choose
to believe something, it just becomes this unconscious thing that we unconsciously
all agree is true, even if it's absolutely incorrect.

(10:32):
And this happens in life.
We just all, as a collective, lots of people start to believe something and
then, hang on a second, why do we all believe this?
Who started this rumor and who's responsible for this incorrect information?
Because this is is harming people's mindsets. This is actually harming their,

(10:56):
it's creating limitations. It's creating anxiety.
Just like if you have a money mindset block where you don't believe that you
could possibly ever make money through a business and you can only make money
through a nine to five job,
I would hope that a money mindset coach would help you bust through those blocks.

(11:17):
And that's why as a body manifestation coach, right, as a weight loss manifestation coach.
It is my job, it is my purpose on this earth to make the world see that.
These problematic like perceptions of like these blocks,
this blocked way of looking at nutrition is only
causing more hurdles and obstacles for you to have to go over unnecessary hurdles

(11:44):
for you to and more resistance basically that you have to move through in order
to reach the outcome of like like health, wellness,
more energy, and weight loss, okay?
So, because let's look at this, all right? Because a lot of content out there,
like I said, is fear-mongering.

(12:05):
And what does that even mean? It means that they are saying information or saying
things like, this type of food will make you fat.
This type of food will cause inflammation, right? Sugar is a drug.
It's going to cause inflammation, right? right?
It's isolating a food, right? Or a compound like, oh, lectins are bad.

(12:27):
Lectins make you fat or carbs do this or broccoli does that.
Consume this. It's going to be extreme in nature.
So anything that is extreme in nature, that's trying to get you to cut a certain
food out or do weird, unusual things like eat your food in a certain order so

(12:48):
that your blood sugar is more regulated.
These kind of things are sometimes unnecessary and they've been proven to be
unnecessary tactics and they create more struggle for people.
They create more dieting rules rather than then understanding that overall your diet matters,

(13:10):
not one food in isolation, not necessarily like having to eat your food in a certain order.
Like there is so much more to nutrition than just those isolated things.
Okay. And I don't often, like I said, I don't often talk about nutrition and
the reason why is because that's not my main focus here, okay?

(13:33):
My main focus is mindset, manifestation, your belief systems,
your frequency, creating your reality.
And so when I see people.
Focusing on diet and nutrition with the wrong lens, right?
With the lens of fear, with the lens of dieting, I have to intervene, okay?

(13:57):
I have to educate the world on their relationship to food because that matters.
It's not about ignoring health or ignoring nutrition, So think about it this way.
If I was a money mindset coach and I was running a global brand to help with

(14:18):
people's money mindsets,
I would predominantly be talking about people's thoughts and feelings and beliefs
about money and their money story and their money blocks. Yes.
Would I then be denying that people will have to take certain actions to have
a successful business or to have the successful career?
No, I wouldn't be denying that. I wouldn't be denying that there are physical

(14:41):
things in the physical plane that are done.
But I would say that those physical things are affected how I perceive those
physical actions to be taken and.
How well they work for me, whether or not they manifest the outcome I desire and I feel good in it.

(15:01):
So like, for example, if you're a business owner, but you're working really
hard and you're exhausted, even though you make a lot of money,
then it would be like, okay, let's look at your belief systems about money because
this isn't creating the dynamic that ultimately makes you feel good.
And so it's like the same, it's the same with weight issues, okay?

(15:22):
Manifestation of weight issues, it's like, cool, like you can look good in your own eyes.
You can be like, well, yes, look, I can get to this certain weight,
but I feel exhausted in having to do that.
I feel like I have to put in so much effort in order to maintain this type of weight.
I would say, cool, I can help you with that because that's all about your belief systems, okay?

(15:46):
You're creating that that paradigm, you're creating that reality with your beliefs, right?
So can you see how what I'm doing is similar to what a money mindset coach would do?
But the understanding there is that I'm not focusing on nutrition because that
then, that's not what I'm here to help with. I'm not here to help you with nutrition.

(16:09):
I'm here to help you with your mindset about it the same way as when you see
a money manifestation coach.
They're not necessarily diving into business strategies, although that's going
to be part of what makes you succeed.
You might need to do marketing courses. You might need to learn how to use the

(16:31):
software that you're running your business on.
You might need to do some bookkeeping stuff.
You might need to learn various different things, similar to if you're manifesting
a career. career, right?
You might need to take action in getting better at your field.
You might go study at university.
That might be part of manifesting your career is doing other things.

(16:52):
And so that is the role, yes, that.
Nutritional education might play in your health and well-being,
energy, weight loss, body composition, education of certain things.
But what if that education is limiting you?
So what if you then do a business course that says you will not succeed on Instagram,

(17:18):
you should go do this instead?
And that kind of stuff does exist. That type of marketing rules exist.
Marketing rules are kind of similar to dieting
rules it's like 10 different people will say 10
different things and one person will say
you can't do this and another person will be be succeeded doing the thing that
the other person said they can't do okay so it's understanding it's really having

(17:41):
the perception of seeing that people multiple truths exist because people believe
different things so people so
when you're following when you're following somebody's nutrition advice.
It's really important to understand that they will have bias, okay?
They will have bias. And what does bias mean?
It means that if they say, I'm convinced that this weight issue for you is hormonal,

(18:05):
and I'm convinced that if we remove sugar from your diet, that you're going to lose weight.
That's bias because they then will confirm their belief systems,
even though they're incorrect right
their their bias will confirm their belief
system okay and that's why science exists that's

(18:25):
why we have a scientific like
scientific collection of studies that doctors dentists any kind of like medical
licensed person has to revert refer to in order for their knowledge to be evidence-based
okay because because of the placebo effect mainly so when when we talk about a study.

(18:49):
That's double blind what does that even mean double blind
means that none of the participants none of
the like people running the study have any
idea what's going on that their belief systems can't
influence the study because belief systems
are that powerful that even every like
any type of reputable study out

(19:11):
there needs to take into account placebo effect right and so this is so So important
then to understand when you're looking at people's content and considering whether
or not they're actually introducing their own placebo effect,
first of all, and their bias.
And placebo effect is wonderful. I encourage people to use placebo effect to their advantage.

(19:36):
Yeah, this is what I teach people to do. I literally do this with my clients.
I literally teach them to use placebo effect to their advantage.
But when people are consuming fear-mongering content about nutrition.
That is, if I was to see two pieces of evidence and one is fear-mongering and

(19:57):
one is not, if I understand the placebo effect, the placebo effect,
by the way, is manifestation, yes?
So if you doubt, if you doubt that manifestation applies to the body,
you guys, it's literally one of the most accepted things in science is the placebo effect.
And placebo effect is not just like taking a sugar pill. It's literally the

(20:20):
understanding, the scientific fact that your beliefs influence the physiology of your body. Okay.
This is just scientific fact. And that...
Evidence of manifestation. So when you're like, oh, manifestation only works
so that I can manifest car or a house or the partner that I want. No.

(20:44):
Manifestation has been proved in the body through placebo effect.
That's what it even is. Your thoughts, beliefs can affect your physiology.
Why don't we use that to our advantage? And what I see is manifestation coaches
or or like just spiritual people in general using placebo effect to their disadvantage.

(21:05):
They're creating more limiting beliefs about food, right?
Negative beliefs about food where they're like, oh, don't consume,
don't consume any sugar, like cut out sugar, or it's your hormones,
or you have to eat food in this certain way, or else your blood sugar won't
be healthy. And it's like, okay, cool.
Now you're creating more limitations, okay? Rather than focusing on the belief

(21:29):
system, oh, my blood sugar is healthy. Oh, I trust my body.
These are some of the beliefs I have. My body knows what to do with the food.
Whether I eat cake or vegetables, my body can handle it.
My blood sugar can sort that out because I trust my body.
I have a healthy body. body, okay?

(21:49):
And when I operate from that dynamic, yes, because that dynamic is believing
that I can trust my body, guess what happens?
Guess what happens, you guys? When you operate from the fundamental understanding
that you can trust your body, you end up craving less sugar anyway.
You become intolerant to eating too much of it. I'm telling you now,

(22:11):
I have been doing this shit for years.
I have maintained 30 pound weight loss for,
basically pretty much almost 10 years now. I've rounded up to 10 years now because
I'm getting so close to the 10-year mark.
I'm 38. I just turned 38. I started losing weight for good permanently at 28.

(22:32):
So 10 years almost, I've kept this weight off.
And prior to that, I did nothing but diet constantly,
constantly thinking it was my hormones, taking every which supplement,
being told by naturopaths that it was a hormonal imbalance that was causing
my weight issue, being told by...

(23:48):
You know, doctors, I had polycystic ovaries, all of this. By the way,
I don't have polycystic ovaries anymore.
My cycles have changed a lot through this work.
And so what I'm trying to say is it's understanding that when you associate,
like I heard, I'm not going to name names, but it's like, oh,

(24:10):
your cravings are caused by your blood sugar being irregular.
And it's like, okay, okay. okay, so now I'm going backwards.
Now I'm saying I have to eat food in a special order. I have to do all these
things that are conditional in order to have healthy budger and that's going
to control my cravings. It's like, that doesn't make any sense to me.
Why not just decide that I have a healthy body?

(24:32):
Why not just decide that I can trust my body? Why not work on your relationship to food?
Like look at eating psychology and look at why the craving is there in the first
place because because I've done all this shit.
And I'm telling you now, my reality is completely different.
I don't crave a lot of sugar. I don't crave sugar in excess.
If you sit cookies in front of me, some people will be like,

(24:53):
once I have a taste of it, I can't stop. That used to be me.
I don't live like that anymore. I literally am repulsed by something if I have too much of it, right?
I can't eat a lot of those foods.
I literally will feel sick if you give me too much of those foods.
Do I occasionally overeat from time to time? Of course, I'm only human.

(25:16):
There's no such thing as a perfect person, perfect diet. And when you strive
for that, you're going to feel exhausted, right? Your health will suffer too.
Because when you create like this kind of orthorexic, you know,
dynamic with food, I used to be like that. I used to literally get IBS.
One time I got IBS because I ate cucumber because I was just worried about eating

(25:37):
food when I was out I literally had some cucumber from a cafe and I was like
I'm eating out I like it was like a salad or something because I'm still trying
to eat clean and I was like oh,
Because they must have put some sort of chemical in it and now I'm reacting
to it. And it was all in the mind.
I'm telling you now, like I've literally been afraid of toilet paper,
chemicals in toilet paper, and then had itchy, itchy butt. Yeah.

(26:01):
And it was confirmed by somebody else where they were like, yes,
it's definitely the chemicals in the toilet paper that's causing that. Yes.
And I literally created this issue with having itchy skin.
Yeah. yeah, that I literally had like so many doctors check me out.
I went and saw a specialist to try and fix the issue. It was like, do you have parasites?

(26:23):
Do you have this and that? And try to do all these different things as cleanses,
naturopath supplements, and this and that. Still had the itchy skin.
Still had it for so many years. And then there was a point after doing this
mindset work where I focused on it and I did deliberate intentional focus on
the beliefs around it and I shifted the beliefs.
And I was like, I changed the feeling that my nervous system had associated with that toilet paper.

(26:47):
And I trained my nervous system to believe that the toilet paper was safe,
that it was healthy, that my skin was resilient, that I could handle it. And guess what?
I have not had an issue with the toilet paper ever since I did that work.
And so the placebo effect is very powerful.
And so you need to be aware of when it's being used against you with fear-mongering content.

(27:10):
And this content is very extreme in nature.
It says extreme things that don't take into account the nuance information.
Right, that's required in order to have a well-rounded approach to nutrition.
So things like demonizing sugar, for example, is a huge issue.
Because if we look at different content creators, the problem is,

(27:34):
is that the The content creators that are often sharing the most fear-based
content are really good at marketing, okay?
And you often hear these type of comments,
influence, be praised by other marketers because they're like,
wow, your business is so good.
Your business is so good. Your marketing is so good, right?

(27:55):
But my problem with this is, yes, you can be really good at marketing and have
millions of followers because you understand that sharing fear-mongering content
get more attention than sharing truth content, okay?
Fear-based content attracts more followers than truth-based content,

(28:16):
meaning it's more of a well-rounded approach.
It's not as dramatic because the extreme language that they use hooks into people's
drama and they're like fear and they're just like enticed by that.
And then so they're more likely to hit follow.
They're more likely to hit the follow button. And so what you'll see,

(28:38):
unfortunately, is some of the most popular people are sharing their content
in a way that's the most dramatized extreme way,
because that's what marketing teaches you to do sometimes because it works from
a marketing lens. It works.
Okay. It captures people's attention. tension if you play into that fear part

(29:06):
of the brain, that drama part of the brain.
And so then to me, ethically, I'm like, how can you do that?
How can you be spreading information that's fear mongering?
And that just, to me, just butts up against moral codes. I'm like,

(29:26):
I don't care if I have to sacrifice having less followers.
If I have to change my content and my graphics on my Instagram to portray an
image that's incorrect, just because my audience prefer that way of looking
at things, even though the way I've portrayed it is incorrect.
That's that's unethical like I can't

(29:49):
it makes me upset that people are
doing that and then also because they're being
congratulated on their business structure oh yes like
you're so good at marketing yeah but at for this what you you're just wow like
you're so popular but you're sharing information that is is causing problems

(30:10):
with people's relationship to food like you've got to If you're explaining nutrition,
right, if you are an influencer, like you're a coach, like you have a platform
where you share nutritional information,
it is so important to take into account people's relationship to food and their beliefs about food,

(30:33):
right, and how that information is going to be received on the other end by
that person and how that's going to affect their day-to-day life, right?
Is it going to create fear in their relationship to food?
And yes, this is a very controversial topic because there will be some people
that say, well, people are predominantly consuming really unhealthy foods.

(30:57):
We need to educate these people.
I agree, but there's a lot of people and a lot of you listeners who are already,
you're not lacking in food education.
Some of you have too much food education in the wrong way. Like you're too extreme
in your perspective of food. This is bad. That's bad. That's inflammatory.

(31:17):
This is not cut, cut, cut it out, cut it out, cut it out. Like your issue is the opposite end.
Yeah. So then we've got to find balance in the way that these information is communicated.
Okay. And so I prefer to follow people that talk about the nuance rather than the extreme.

(31:39):
I'm not sucked into extreme I don't do
that I was when I was predominantly operating from
the dieting mindset okay and guess what my weight suffered because of that my
health suffered because of that so I thought I was oh like I'm gonna put myself
on a pedestal because I know so much about nutrition right but the truth is

(32:00):
I was struggling I acted like I knew a lot but inside I was struggling.
And the sad truth is, is that a lot of weight loss nutritional coaches themselves
come to me because they are in that ballpark.
And it isn't about judgment or shame here, right? This isn't about judging or shaming people.

(32:21):
It's about spreading the knowledge that our belief systems matter,
that our belief systems do create our reality. Okay.
So something thing I want to share about sugar because like sugar is just demonized
so much and it's really taken out of context a lot of the time. And.

(32:42):
So the thing is that there's a few different things, like sugar is like a drug.
Okay, so let's talk about that.
Like you could say, if you say sugar is like a drug, you basically need to agree
that lots of things can act like a drug then.
Okay, so people can be addicted to sugar. Okay, well, that's the same way as
I could be addicted to my dog.

(33:02):
Like I can be addicted to wanting to be around my dog. I can be,
people can be addicted to Netflix.
People can be addicted to their phone. Lots of people are addicted to scrolling on their phone.
I don't think anyone would want to be without their phone for a few days without
feeling a little bit of discomfort, yeah?
Because you're used to that dopamine hit that you get when you check messages

(33:24):
or check Instagram, scroll on TikTok, okay?
Sugar falls into that category, okay? The same category.
It's not sugar itself that's the problem, okay?
It's our relationship to food that's the problem, okay?
So whenever something's addictive, it's usually serving a purpose to distract,

(33:46):
avoid, numb certain emotions or thoughts that are going on.
So we just get to look at that. We just get to look at human nature and it's human nature is really,
you know, as humans, our behavior tends to lean towards moving towards pleasure

(34:07):
and away from pain. Yeah.
Tony Robbins talks about this all the time and the relationship to food as well. He's said this.
People lean towards moving towards pleasure and away from pain.
So if you're bored, if you don't want to miss out on going out with your friends
and everyone's having ice cream, you move towards having ice cream.

(34:27):
But there's ways to handle this on a mindset level.
I've changed my psychology around eating and that's manifested a completely
different reality around food.
So I want to quote this thing about sugar because this is really important that
I heard from a guy called Dr. Mike Israel.
I don't know if I'm pronouncing that correctly. There is no link between sugar

(34:51):
consumption and health.
There's no link between sugar consumption and health as long as calories aren't
excessive and you're meeting your protein and fat needs and the diet is mostly
healthy and unprocessed foods.
So if you think about it, if your calories aren't excessive,
you eat enough veggies, fiber, you know, fruits and protein,

(35:16):
okay, protein and fat is balanced and your calories aren't excessive.
You can have chocolate and it's not going to have a negative impact on your
health. Like you can have some sugar every single day.
And if your diet is mostly healthy and processed, you're not going to have a
problem because you went out for ice cream. Okay.

(35:37):
Or you enjoy a couple of squares of chocolate every night.
Yeah. And so I learned to see the world in this way. And instead of I'm cutting
out sugar, I'm cutting out sugar. Sugar is bad.
Sugar is this. Sugar is that. that it's bad for my hormones.
It's doing this to me. It's so bad for me.
Cutting it out. Then I would cut it out. Then I'd feel better.

(35:58):
And then I'd binge on it. And then I'd feel bad.
Like what an exhausting cycle. And not to mention the placebo effect of that, that every single time,
because I had such a strong belief system about sugar being bad for me,
guess what happened as As soon as I would eat sugar again, I'd get tired.
I'd get, I'd get like breakouts.

(36:19):
I'd have all these negative feelings because I'm telling you now it was all
placebo affair because explain to me now why I, I don't have those negative symptoms.
Right. I changed my beliefs, which isn't easy, by the way, changing your beliefs.
I was really committed to it. A lot of people aren't committed to it.

(36:39):
I actually committed to it and changed my beliefs. then the effect changed.
Whereas when I believed that sugar was bad for me, I had more negative health
outcomes because I believed it was bad for me and I would consume it.
I couldn't help but consume it anyway.
So I like to follow doctors like Dr. Ids. They're.

(37:09):
You know, there was a recent TikTok Instagram reel that he did about like where
I find it so interesting.
Like he talked about studies that showed that when calories are equated,
there's nothing uniquely problematic about sugar, right?
He says that the issue is what's displaced from the diet when you over consume sugar.
And what he means by that is that if you're predominantly consuming foods with that high sugar,

(37:37):
like cookies, cakes, donuts, chocolate, they are generally low in nutrients and high in calories.
And anyway, like when you look at these foods like cookies, cakes,
donuts, chocolate, they're actually more higher in fat than anything else.
Like sugar isn't actually the only thing here. It's like they're really high

(37:57):
in fat and really high in calories.
And I feel like people completely, they're blaming sugar when it's not about sugar.
Are a lot of the health issues that are occurring in society have to do with,
number one, are we just going to completely ignore stress?
Are we going to completely ignore the emotional toll on the body,

(38:22):
like that your emotions do affect your health?
Are we just going to like, oh, oh, it's your diet. No.
There's an emotional aspect to disease always.
We're not just a machine that's about the food that we put in there.
We're emotional beings.

(38:42):
There's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that impact our health.
This whole thing about blaming the diet,
right blaming the diet the other thing that's causing what
like calorie consumption has gone up over
the years despite all the dieting knowledge calorie
consumption has gone up year after year

(39:05):
despite all the nutritional knowledge that you would think
that there's due to social media there's more nutritional like
pumping out fear-mongering content out there more
than ever yet each year overall people
are consuming more calories overall not everybody
yeah so then it's not
helping nutritional knowledge or like

(39:27):
this fear-mongering knowledge isn't actually helping people
and studies have shown that when calories are equal it's not the sugar that's
the problem okay because excess calories when people are like well sugar's inflammatory
no it's not studies have shown when calories are equated it's not not inherently inflammatory.

(39:50):
The problem is that there's lack of nutrients is the issue.
Like I said, if you're replacing cookies, cakes, and donuts,
and you're not having enough vegetables, you're going to have a lack of nutrient
issue, right? Lack of fiber issue, okay?
And that has negative health outcomes, okay, right?
So see how it's about let's add in more food.

(40:14):
Let's stop talking about cut this out, cut that out, right?
Let's look at what can we add in?
How can we change our perspective of trusting our body to want nutrients,
to crave healthier foods?
How can we redirect our belief systems to do that, yeah?

(40:35):
Redirect our frequency to do that. Okay. That's why eating psychology is so
important because that's what I help you do. Okay.
So studies have shown that when calories are equal, okay, here's a study that Dr. Ids shared.
If you want to check out his Instagram, two separate groups where women consumed
1100 calories, where one group had 118 grams of pure sugar every day,

(41:00):
And the other group had 11 grams of pure sugar.
Both groups saw improvement in their body weight, blood pressure,
body fat, blood lipids, and improvement in depression, hunger,
and mood. These were women.
When calories were equal, both
groups had improvement in basic things that people associate with sugar.

(41:24):
So, oh, sugar is going to affect your mood. Sugar is going to make you hungrier.
No when sugar when calories were
equated there was no difference and this is
why when if you're like oh but
the government and the studies who are they being funded by and this and that
it's all fear-mongering as well like from a law of attraction perspective wouldn't

(41:46):
I want to rather choose the perspective that's less fearful wouldn't I want
to rather choose the perspective that's more expansive,
that's more, like, allows me to have more freedom?
Wouldn't I choose the perspective that...
People are inherently good and want good things and this body of knowledge,

(42:08):
these studies, it's predominantly helpful to our knowledge and understanding of nutrition.
Wouldn't I rather have that perspective rather than it's all bad?
This is the spiritual perspective. I just don't understand how people can be
like, I'm spiritual and manifestation, but I'm going to choose the fear lens to view nutrition.

(42:31):
I'm going to listen to the person who's teaching me drama and fear and limitation
around food versus the person who explains nuance, right?
Explains it in a way that it's understand the bigger picture things, not it's bad.
I'm going to talk like a 10 year old and fear you into sugar because I know

(42:53):
they're going to hook into your brain versus, hey guys, you know,
nutrition is about overall.
You don't need to worry about sugar unless you're consuming it in excess.
You can have sugar, but let's take a look at your overall diet.
Let's take a look at what your overall diet looks like because that matters.

(43:17):
We need to take that into account, not just, I'm
going to talk to you every single day about how this food is bad and you're
going to get inflammation and gain weight because because of this one type of
food and I'm going to go through a grocery store and I'm going to start picking
up boxes of everything that's bad and it's killing you and it's feeding cancer
and you're going to die if you eat this. Like, are you serious?

(43:40):
Like, no thanks. Bye. I'm flicking that shit away.
I don't want to. What you focus on, right, you draw energy to creates more of that.
Yeah. What What you focus on expands. Why would I want to be so focused on fear-mongering content?
I'm just not. I'm more looking at content that's more well-balanced.

(44:03):
Okay, cool. So I'm understanding that, yes, I can understand that it's not good to over-consume sugar.
I can understand that it's not good to over-consume calories.
However, I don't need to micromanage that. I live in manifestation.
I know that I can delegate that to my body.
That's my body's job to do that right i can delegate that to the universe i

(44:27):
can ask the universe to if i i focus on my intention i focus on my i have an
intention for good health right and i'm gonna.
Delegate that to the universe. And yes, I know people do this,
but then they'll go into dieting mindset and distrusting their body and consuming
fear-mongering content.
And then I'm like, cool, you guys are on the right track, but you're just missing

(44:48):
some information and that's why I'm here. Okay. I'm here to help you with that.
I can fill in the missing gaps because there aren't many people who understand
the energetics of weight loss.
It's just not as popular and understood as money energetics. It's just fact.
It's just not as understood. I see it. There's a real lack of information,
which is also why I'm going to be creating a certification.

(45:11):
I haven't actually talked about this on the podcast, but I'm going to be creating
a certification so that other coaches, healers, and people who aspire to help
the world with body manifestation can teach this stuff because it's really lacking.
It's really needed in the world.
There's so many amazing manifestation coaches out there, but not enough in the

(45:31):
body realm, like not enough talking about what I talk And so, yeah.
So the other thing that I wanted to dive in and mention there was that I currently
have my coaching packages on sale.
So reach out to me if you'd like to do a coaching package with me,
because I really, I really spend a lot of one-on-one time with my clients and

(45:55):
any of my former clients will hold me to it.
Like I dedicate a lot and I've had a lot of enjoyment around coaching one-on-one
clients. I love to spend time with helping people with this stuff,
but in the future, I'm going to be training other coaches.
And when I'm doing that, the cost of my certification will be similar to what

(46:18):
I charge now for one on one.
So, excuse me, if you've been thinking of working with me, it's very rare to
find somebody that has a large following that dedicates.
Time to one-on-one coaching most people once they grow or they scale a business
they're not doing one-on-one coaching anymore yeah or if they are it's at a

(46:41):
very high cost okay it's very.
Usually the the way that works is like they're more
seeing people who put in
a high level of investment okay and for the
time being the last few years I've just really enjoyed one-on-one
like I've just really enjoyed that and I've just followed my guidance
around doing that but in the

(47:02):
future like I will be scaling the business like I
said I've really had downloads from from the
universe of creating a certification like that's just been something that's
been going on inside of me for some time for years now and so that's that's
going to be happening and so when that's happening like you won't be able to

(47:23):
get one-on-one coaching at this investment you you guys,
you just won't get access to me. You just won't be able to at this price point.
And so if you've been holding out or like for whatever reason,
you're waiting, just know like now's this is it, you know, now's the time.
And generally I recommend like six months.

(47:46):
I love working with people for six months, but of course there's three months
if you feel like that's more suitable for you.
So please message me on Instagram at NoDietBabe if you're interested in chatting
to me about private coaching.
Okay, so like I said before, when you look at people who aren't fear-mongering,

(48:08):
right, they're just really looking at the science and the nuance of things.
It isn't about fearing sugar. It's about, yes, educating yourself that too much sugar, not good.
Too much calories not good not enough nutrients not good not enough like fiber
not good right but how about from a manifestation point of view we then tune

(48:31):
into our bodies and go right.
I'm trying to manage everything with my mind I'm trying to use the knowledge
and my head to navigate my body okay but my body and head is one right I'm not
going to try and and control my body through force,

(48:51):
why not create a body, create an identity that does those things automatically?
Yeah. I delegated it to my body. My body doesn't want too much sugar. I can trust my body.
Yeah. My body knows how to handle my blood sugar. That's delegated to my body.
Yeah. Yeah. I can have, you guys, I got rid of ovarian cysts. Yeah.

(49:16):
So this shit works. Like I healed my belief systems, my relationship to my body. Okay.
And it's, it's the understanding. It's not saying, oh, now I overeat and I just
believe, and it's making up for that. No, like I said before.
It's not the extreme point of view, okay? It's not extremes.

(49:36):
It's more nuanced than that, okay? So the main thing I want you to get from
this is understand that the content you consume can affect your belief systems.
Understand that those belief systems influence your body's physiology.
And so my intention for you is that you choose content that is helping you,

(49:59):
not limiting you, that is moving you towards more freedom,
less anxiety and fear of food, and a natural inspired way of naturally choosing
foods that are good for you, but also still enjoying life.
And when we talk about overconsumption of calories, that to me is emotional eating.

(50:27):
When there's overconsumption of calories, it is always, and I am going to repeat
this, overconsumption of calories is always an emotional eating problem.
Disagree with me if you want, but I'm telling you now, that's my message.
Overconsumption. If you have an issue of overconsumption of sugar,

(50:48):
if you have an issue of overconsumption of calories, it's an emotional issue. you.
You've got to look at your relationship to food and eating psychology,
which is what I teach in my course Emerge, okay?
So go check out my course Emerge then if you have an issue with controlling
yourself around the cookies, the cakes, the donuts, the chocolates, okay?

(51:09):
If you have an issue around overconsumption of calories, do my course Emerge.
That's going to help you change your relationship to food so that you can trust your body.
That's what we want here. We want want to have unconscious competency.
Around food, okay? Unconscious meaning doesn't require a lot of effort,

(51:29):
struggle, or excessive dieting planning, right?
Unconscious competency around your eating habits and your health,
well-being, energy levels, weight, okay?
All right, I will leave it there.
Make sure you reach out to me if you are ready to begin working in close proximity

(51:54):
with me for one-on-one coaching.
So email, sorry, you can email me, but it's probably easier if you message me
on Instagram at NoDietBabe.
And I love you guys. I just want you to not have fearful relationships with
food and unknowingly program your subconscious to have fear with food. Okay.

(52:18):
Unnecessarily program your brain
with fear-mongering perceptions of food it
does affect your nervous system it does cause somatic responses in the body
to when you eat those certain foods it does affect your health in a negative
way if it's excessively causing anxiety okay so we we want to have a response to food,

(52:44):
your somatic response to food.
We don't want that to be rooted in trauma, okay?
Like feelings of anxiety or shame, guilt, fear, yeah, of food.
So that is all. Love you guys. I will see you in the next episode. Bye.

(53:04):
