OUTWEIGH: Leanne is back to close out our The Truth About Your Fat series, where she takes you on a tour of the 5 categories of fat and fascia that you might have.
These 5 'types' just further emphasize that fat and fascia are interconnected, and their relationship can impact your overall health and well-being.
Leanne's goal for this episode is to simplify the often-complex topic for you, making it accessible and relatable, so you can stop fighting your body and, instead, focus on learning how to take care of it and embrace a new, more positive body image.
The episode is the perfect 'tour' of the multifaceted aspects of fat and fascia and how they influence our overall health and well-being and will hopefully encourage a shift in perspective towards health & self-care and a better understanding of your body's complex mechanisms.
HOST: Leanne Ellington // @leanneellington // StresslessEating.com

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I won't let my body out be outwait everything that
I'm made done, won't spend my life trying to change.
I'm learning love who I am, I get, I'm strong,
I feel free, I know every part of me. It's
beautiful and that will always out way if you feel it,
(00:24):
but you are, She'll some love to THEO.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Why get there?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Take you one day? And did you and die out way?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Happy Saturday out wigh. It's leanne here and we are
back for the fourth and final part of the Truth
about Your Fat. And if you missed parts one, two,
and three, definitely go ahead and check those out because
it won't make today makes so much more sense. In fact,
if you're listening today and you haven't heard the first
three parts, you might be like, what the heck is
she talking about? So on that note, though, I'm just
(00:56):
going to dive right in because there's a lot that
I want to cover. Okay, So today I want to
share the five types of fat and fascia that you
might have. And I say the word types because it's
more like this category of cause and effect that I
just want you to be aware of. And when I
say cause and effect, it's kind of like this chicken
egg thing because fat and fascia is a chicken and
(01:20):
egg topic. It's it's like, do I have fashia here
because I have muscular imbalances, or do I have muscular
imbalances because I have fashia here keeping blood and oxygen
from reaching the muscle? Or you know, do I have
fat here because I have fashia binding to my fat,
or do I have fashia binding my fat because there's
fascia that laid itself down here to protect me from
(01:40):
an injury. And again, if what I'm saying does not
sound familiar or sounds a little crazy, we covered all
of this in part two of the series. But really
it's this chicken egg conversation and I wanted to kind
of more or less just put it into a few categories. Again,
just oversimplifying the conversation and making it super accessible for
you an you technical science geeks like myself, Please don't
(02:03):
hear what I'm not saying. I know there's a lot
more complicated interactions going on in the background of what
I'm about to simplify, but for purposes of this podcast, obviously,
you know I'm oversimplifying. And so I found that your
fat and fascia fall into five categories, and let's just
dive right in. So the first one I want to
talk about is what I call stuck fat. Okay, And
(02:25):
as we talked about already, fat can bind to your fascia,
right that duct tape like connective tissue that encases every bone, muscle,
and organ. Fascia pretty much incases everything like it's it's everywhere,
like we talked about. But fascia also plays a big
part in your movement. And like we also talked about before,
you have fascia lines on your body designed to move
(02:49):
with you, and that's why you have them running every
direction and three dimensionally up, down, left, right, diagonal, cross
the body up, all the things right, And that's design
so that they can move with you. But also, like
we talked about, fascia is there to protect you. And
so if your brain and body aren't familiar with or
maybe they don't have a map for specific movement patterns,
(03:11):
or maybe it's like a lose it if you don't
use it kind of thing, your brain will lay down
fascia to assist you with those movements, and it protects
you and supports the movement itself and the joints and
the muscles that aren't doing their jobs. And if you
want that fashia to go away because it's not necessary,
you need to make it not necessary, like you need
(03:32):
to show the nervous system and teach the nervous system like, okay,
we can do the movement on our own by correcting
the movement pattern as in, you know, teach your nervous
system to have the movement map on its own so
that the fascia can It's a it's a process called
stripping when the fascia that's no longer there strips away.
But again, your nervous system needs to feel safe to
do that by getting the actual movement map pattern that
(03:53):
the fascia is helping to do without it. Right. So
that's one side of it. But here's the other side
of it. And I'm still shocked that the mainstream still
isn't talking about this. But fascia can also bind your fat,
which we talked about and if you have excess body fat,
and again that's like your own definitions of it, right,
or maybe it's causing it's weighing you down, like it's
causing pain, or it's causing poor health or whatever, That's
(04:16):
what I really mean when I say excess. Right, But
if you have you know, fat on your body, you
still have to carry it around, right, like it's part
of your body, and so fascia can also in case fat. Okay,
so we talked about this like it's it kind of
makes it a bit of a double whammy. And by
the way, we talked about this in part two, so
definitely check that out. But if you have a layer
(04:38):
of fascially bound fat, you know, kind of riding along
with you throughout all of your movement patterns, not only
does it create a barrier to the blood and oxygen
that you need to get those inactive muscles and movements
firing again, but they also act as a barrier to
those precious catacholamines that you need for fat mobilization to occur. Okay, So,
(04:59):
like I said, double whammy, But it's not this you know,
cheesecake and French fries kind of fat. It's fascially bound fat.
I call it stuck fat. And no amount of you know,
dieting or exercise is going to move it if it
can't get what it needs to be mobilized, which you know, again,
if the blood and oxygen can't get there because there's
(05:19):
a layer of fascia blocking it. It's essentially stuck. And
that's why I call this type of fat stuck fat,
because again it's not a matter of eating less and
moving more. This is a physiological thing where fascia is
now in play. But the cool thing about that is
fascia is this pliable, multible, manipulatable thing. And again, movement
(05:41):
patterns are teachable. But then again, if you don't know
about fascia and don't know how to manipulate it and
get it healthy and of course create the movement maps
that your nervous system doesn't currently have, this type of
fat will stay stuck and most likely the fascia will
continue to build even more layers and get even more
you know, kind of unhealthy. So that is stuck fat.
(06:03):
And I started with that one because it's also kind
of a review of everything that we talked about in
the second part of this series. Okay, but also in
reference to last week's episode, my two secret weapons for
stuck fat are fashion blasting, which we talked about, but
also making sure I'm creating and maintaining the movement maps
that you're supposed to have, but again, like you lose
them if you don't use them. And for that I
(06:24):
refer to doctor Cobb's Z health tools, and like I shared,
my favorite one in my opinion, which is also like
the perfect one for beginners, is his neural warm up.
So we have stuck fat. Okay. The next type of
fat is something I call starved fat. So your brain, body,
nervous system, it needs something called homeostasis. Okay, it needs safety.
(06:47):
Your brain needs to detect safety and security in order
to maintain you know, physiological processes, but especially like if
you want your body to not just survive but actually thrive, right,
like the job of mobilizing fat, for example, it's a
thrive kind of thing. It's like a it's not a
need to it's a want to thing. And so in
(07:08):
order for those things to happen, your brain definitely needs
to detect homeostasis first. And your brain, being the genius
that it is, it's always trying to create and detect homeostasis. Okay.
And basically your brain and body are always monitoring and
detecting whether or not the vessel is stable and safe
(07:29):
and constant, right, and so in other words, it's constantly monitoring.
I say it really your brain, your nervous system, constantly
monitoring whether or not you have everything you require to
function optimally and survive. Okay, I'm just talking bare bone's
minimum survive here, right. Keep in mind losing fat and
(07:49):
building muscle and all the things that we want or
have goals for. Maybe maybe you don't want, right, but
that's a lot that gets talked about. Those would be
like thrive based conversations. You don't need them to survive.
So again, your brain is constantly trying to survive, and
once it knows it can do that, then it can
think about things like fat mobilization and building muscle and
(08:10):
what would be considered thriving. Okay, but your brain and
body need to detect homeostasis first, and what's one of
the main components it looks for and needs for that
to happen. You probably guessed it nutrients. Okay. Notice I
didn't say carbs, fats, proteins. I didn't say macro nutrients.
I'm talking about micro nutrients, right, the vitamins, the minerals, right,
(08:34):
and a lot of dieting. And so maybe if you're
like me and you have a history of the chronic dieting.
And you know, a lot of the diet mentality in
general can actually strip us of nutrients that we need.
So I know, for me, like back when I was
super calorie phobic or fat phobic or carb phobic, oftentimes
I was actually either not getting it at all or
(08:55):
replacing it with chemicals or additives or sweeteners. And you know,
if you if you look at that stuff that's lower
in fat, or lower in carbs, or lower in calories,
a lot of times it's being replaced by chemicals and additives.
And not only does that inhibit our body's ability to
absorb the nutrients that we are getting, but a lot
of these foods are actually void of nutrients at all.
(09:18):
And that's not to say that all low carb and
low fat diets are like this, but oftentimes if we
are reaching for low carb you know, junk foods for example,
like you know that you see at the stores, all
the stores are caring. Now, this is going to put
us in a big nutrient deficiency. And again, like I know,
for me, when I was in the throes of my
disordered eating, like I wasn't thinking about nutrients. I was
(09:38):
thinking about calories and fat, And will this make me
gain weight, lose weight, all the things. But man, I
wish as somebody had told me about nutrients and like
having a nutrient focused kind of thought process, right, And
again please no, there is no judgment, no shame about this.
But the whole nutrient homeostasis thing was not something I
was thinking about or aware of when I was, you know,
like I said, at the height of my disorderedy and
(10:00):
I wish somebody had told me about it, Okay, and
please don't hear what I'm not saying, right, I'm not
telling you like go out and eat a hamburger and
French fries and milkshake for dinner every single night, and
you know, definitely give yourself the freedom to do that.
But I'm saying this, like, if you're gonna be eating
that for dinner, you know your body's gonna be a
lot happier if it's also getting the nutrients it needs
(10:21):
alongside it. So there's the flip side of it too, right,
the disordered eating or maybe the orthorexia where you're not
eating enough and you're not getting nutrients. But then I know, again,
my flip side, my binge eating disorder was like you know,
all these foods that also didn't have nutrients. So I'm
not telling you don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm
just saying, like, what if you started focusing on nutrients period, right,
(10:41):
and you know, making sure that what you're putting in
your body, like thinking is it enough for your nervous
sys to actually feel like it's reaching homeostasis?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And again, this is not a calories or macro's conversation.
It's a micro nutrient and nutrient conversation, okay, And I
wouldn't be who I was if I didn't at least mention. Again,
this is where the whole you know, calories in versus
calories out theory can actually be harmful to your nervous
system and your body because again that restrictive mentality tends
to also restrict us from getting the vital nutrients that
(11:13):
we need to thrive. And again, whether you like it
or not, fat mobilization or building muscle, it's a thrive
activity for your nervous system. You know, the survive components
of your nervous system are focused on you probably guessed
it surviving and you know thriving in body composition, that's
not your nervous system's priority. So if you do want
things like that, you need to give your nervous system
(11:35):
what it needs, and that's nutrients. Okay. So what you're
eating and how much of it, Yeah, it's a part
of the equation, but it's what you're not eating and
how you're feeling while you're eating, too, is a big
part of it too, that your brain and nervous system
is really concerned with. Okay. And you know, nowadays most
women are walking around overfed but undernourished, and this is
(11:57):
another major blockade to that homeostace that we talked about,
right And you know, again, no homeostasis, no fuel for
that the process of fat mobilization which we talked about
in part two, and so that's why I call it
starved fat. Okay, So that is starved fat, all right.
The next type of fat we're going to talk about
is something I call stressed fat. The next type of
(12:24):
fat we're going to talk about is something I call
stressed fat. So whenever you feel annoyed or mad or
stressed or uneasy about anything, your body elicits a stress
response and it lays down a cocktail of those infamous
stress storage hormones that we hear about all the time
in the health industry, specifically cortisol and epinephrine, But in reality,
(12:47):
like those are just simply stress hormones. And not only
is stress itself fattening, as I like to say, but
did you know that it also affects you metabolically and
affects your nervous systems. So when you're stress, you're in
the sympathetic part of your nervous system. But most of
the things that contribute to what you want to happen,
real things again, like fat mobilization and just optimal health,
(13:11):
and all of those things are going to be optimized
if you're in the parasympathetic branch of your nervous system.
And it's nicknamed the rest and digest brain, and so
digestion and absorption of nutrients can only optimally happen when
your parasympathetic tissue. Repair regeneration and that fat mobilization we
talked about can only optimally take place when you're parasympathetic.
(13:34):
And again this is not calories and calories out. I'm
just repeating that pattern, right, because again I know for me,
when I was at the height of disorder, I was
just thinking about calories calories, calories, But the reality is like,
when you're stressed out, none of that matters. And that's
actually a perfect segue into the next type of fat
I want to talk about, because there's crossover and the
(13:54):
concept is very similar. So I figure, let's talk about
these two together. So I call this next one sad fat.
So they're stressed fat and they're sad fat. But there's
a big distinction here, like how do you feel when
you think about your body, when you think about your fat,
when you think about your injuries, when you think about
your weight, when you just think about yourself and your body, right,
(14:17):
how are you talking to yourself and about yourself? And
most women don't even think about the fact that how
they're feeling about themselves and their actual body image, how
that is a factor in whether or not they're able
to reach their physiological goals. But it's a massive factor. Okay,
So sadness or any type of air quotes negative emotions,
(14:40):
And of course I say air quotes because no emotions
are outright negative. They all have their place, but some
emotions obviously don't always feel good right, things like shame
and blame and guilt and comparisonitis, and perfectionism and self
condemnation and self rejection, and I could go on and
on and on. But any emotion that doesn't make you
feel very good, unfortunately, it's also seen as stress to
(15:04):
your brain. And just like actual you know, reptilian fight
or flight stress, these emotions trigger that same hormonal response
like I talk about in depth in the tail of
Two Cookies, which I'll link to my masterclass in the
show notes where I go kind of in depth into
the nitty gritty of that. But the other side of
it is this, Okay, when you feel like this, when
(15:25):
you know, feel all your feels, what do you usually do? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Do you process it and let it move through you?
Like are you emotionally available to yourself in those moments?
Or do you numb it out and ignore it?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Right? Like?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
How do you react when you feel those air quotes
negative emotions? Okay? And so here's my point, Like, whether
you're crying on the outside or crying on the inside,
this is when most women tend to look for comfort
and distractions and mindless activities and some sort of short
term gratification or pleasure to numb out the pain. Because
(15:59):
the Malian part of your brain, specifically what I call
the social brain. It's it's called the anterior singulate cortex
or ACC. But I really teach my clients to remember
this part of the brain by remembering that the letters
AC ACC stand for acceptance, connection, and care, as in,
you know, the part of your brain is always looking
(16:20):
for acceptance, connection, care, or comfort, which is another C
as in you know, do I feel connected? Do I
feel accepted? Do I feel cared for by others? And
do I feel it from myself? Okay, but what it's
really looking for is oxytocin, and that social brain will
get it from somewhere. So if you don't have the
(16:40):
tools to deal with your emotions properly and you tend
to numb out on food or Netflix or mindless TV
or anything like that, and trust me, there's no judgment.
I've used them all. But you can't will power your
way through that. That's a brain thing, right, And if
you're curious about that, I talk about that more in
depth to in my masterclass and how it's it's not
a matter of you being a self sabotageer or weak willed.
(17:02):
It's actually something that's happening in your brain. But you
can actually do something about it if you have the tools.
But I know, for me, like eating my favorite comfort
foods while curled up on the couch and you know,
binge watching Netflix, it feels comforting for a little while,
and then it just becomes the opposite. After a while,
that high goes away and you're left with the original emotions,
(17:24):
only now they're further magnified because you have all that
guilt and shame and self blame about numbing out on
the couch and food with food and Netflix. Right, it's
like a big vicious cycle. And so I call it
sad fat because again you can understand how this has
a really big effect on your health. And this is
again something that has nothing to do with calories and
versus calories out because it's not that simple, right, So
(17:47):
that's sad fat. How do you think that's gonna affect homeostasis,
which is literally what you need for fat mobilization. And
again it's one of those things where it's like I
didn't even know that this was relevant or relative to this,
but it's all related. So that's sad fat. Let's round
it out and talk about type five, which I call
(18:08):
suffocated fat. Let's round it out and talk about type five,
which I call suffocated fat. So, ladies, stop what you're
doing for just a second and just take a deep
breath in and take a deep breath out. Okay, you're back. Okay,
(18:28):
So let me ask you this. Did you suck your
stomach in when you took that big inhale? Did you
suck it in when you inhaled? And so chances are,
if you're anything like me, you probably answered yes. Like
for me, I got so used to sucking my stomach
in all the time from being self conscious of my
weight or whatever, like it was just a habit, right,
Or maybe I just never optimally learned how to breathe.
(18:50):
I didn't realize I was totally rocking my nervous system
by inverting my breath. So breathing is another simple way
to get your nervous system to fire optimally and increase
your physical health by triggering that homeostasis. And so most
women aren't even aware that their breathing patterns are the
direct opposite of how their body was designed to breathe.
(19:11):
And so, like I just mentioned, if you're used to
sucking your sum again when you inhale, then your breath
First of all, it's an opportunity, but that's an inverted
way of breathing, and your breath is also the easiest
and fastest way to change the state of your body
and let your body and nervous system, you know, move
towards homeostasis. So if you can get yourself breathing better,
(19:33):
you're going to immediately improve your brain and neurological environment,
and your digestive and metabolic environment, and your hormonal environment,
your muscular skeletal environment, all of it. Okay, essentially it
changes your entire fat and fascia environment because it's changing
your homeostasis environment. Let me walk you through this practically.
(19:55):
So for example, you know, take a deep breath in,
but when you breathe in, maybe you can put your
hand on your belly, like picture your belly expanding like
a big balloon when you breathe in, and when you
breathe in, your belly is expanding to fill up that
balloon with air. Okay, Then every time you breathe out,
picture your belly contracting and the air going out of
(20:17):
that balloon. So again it's like opposite. I used to
suck it in and most women are, so every time
you breathe in, belly expands. Every time you breathe out,
belly contracts. And so I'll take it a step further.
So close your eyes for a second, and every time
you breathe in, let your belly expand, and imagine it's
a cool crisp blue pepperminty air. And every time you
(20:39):
breathe out, let your belly contract, and picture breathing out
are red, hot, fiery cinnamony air. Okay, so what we
just did there We added in quite a few elements
of your sensory system to your breath. But I've shared
this before, but your nervous system cannot really tell the
difference between a real and an imagined experience. So I
(21:00):
just told you, you know, breathe it in, your belly expands,
it's a cool crisp blue pepperminty air. We didn't really
have cool crisp blue pepperminty, but your nervous system had
a map for it, right, So we added in color, taste, texture,
smell to your sensory system and your nervous system simply
by using your imagination. Not to mention, we got your
(21:22):
breathing optimal, right. We optimally use the muscles of inspiration
and the muscles of expiration. And I know this must
seem like such a small thing to most people, but
it's a massive way to optimize your nervous system and
create homeostasis, which we already talked is crucial for your
fat and fascia journey. Okay, your respiratory system is the
(21:44):
number one thing that your nervous system is looking to
for surviving and thriving. And that's why I call this
suffocated fat. And when you get your body breathing better,
your nervous system and your fat and fashia will thank you,
thank you so much. So that's it. Those are the
five types of fat that I wanted you to just
(22:06):
be aware of. So we have stuck fat, we've got
starved fat, we've got stressed fat, we've got sad fat,
and we've got suffocated fat. Okay, And again I'm calling
it a type for simplicity because I want you to
just be aware that it's this chicken egg conversation. I mean,
even the five types of fat, you see how there's
(22:27):
chicken eggs within them, right, And I wanted to kind
of more or less put it in a few categories again,
just oversimplifying the conversation and really making it super accessible
for you. So again, any tech geeks out there, I
know there's a lot more complicated interactions going on in
the background, but for purposes of this, we're just oversimplifying. Okay.
My big point is this, though, there is so much
(22:50):
more to your fat and fascia than mainstream information has
taught us. Okay, it is not just a food or
workout thing. What you're eating and your exercise methods are
very downstream in relation to what's happening upstream in your brain. Okay,
and trust me when I say your nervous system is
(23:11):
the one calling the shots. So what if we finally
stopped focusing on the effects of your fat and fascia
and swam upstream to get to the cause and the
root of the fat and fascia situation. And so instead
of talking about exercise or burning calories, let's talk about
the steps you're already taking, Like, how can you make
(23:31):
them count more? How can you make each rep and
step and breath work smarter for you by getting your
muscles and your joints firing more optimally and getting more
bang for your buck. Because your fat and fascia are healthier, right,
and then add more of something else, like if you
want to add more after that, you can, But it's
like literally, instead of adding more, take what you're doing
(23:53):
and supercharge it and make it more effective.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And instead of talking about calories or whether it's the
form of protein or fat or carbohydrate, it's like, how
can you get your brain and body digesting better and
extracting more by focusing on nutrients. Then, no matter how
much you're putting in your body, it's actually getting used
and optimized, or at least it has a chance to be.
And instead of talking about mindset and motivation and goal setting,
(24:17):
let's talk about your brain set and your self image
and the stressors and pain in your head and heart
that are keeping you from doing it. All that are
maybe keeping you shaming yourself or disappointed in yourself or
burnt out or believing yourself less and less. Each time
you say like, Okay, I'm gonna start over again on Monday,
it all matters. All that shame and blame and self
criticism again, You're learning time and time again that the
(24:40):
thoughts you're thinking are not benign and it has everything
to do with how fat and fascia get laid down
in your body. Okay. So this really is a conversation
about letting your body work smarter for you and making
your body smarter. It's an awareness and it's a mindset
and it really is a new way of thinking. But
it's one that will not only transform your body, but
(25:01):
it will set you free. Okay, Because here's the reality
and really a great way to put a wrapper around
this series. There's so much about your body that I
promise you you don't know. And if somewhere along the
lines your body tricked you into thinking it was undesirable
or unattractive or a burden or a new sance or
(25:21):
like there's no ever way you're ever gonna be able
to trust it right or like it, then I'm inviting you, like,
you need a better story about your body, okay. And
if your body image was formed in the eyes of
food shame or fat shame or body shame, and it's
keeping you from feeling beautiful and powerful and confident, then
you need a better story about your body. And if
(25:43):
you're comparing yourself to someone that you think is smaller
or more desirable, or fit, or athletic or air quotes
perfect and it's not making you feel very good, and
I promise you it's not. You need a better story
about your body. And if you're comparing your body to
something like a number or a measurement or a picture
or you know, a common opinion of what you think
(26:05):
is good, bad, right or wrong, and it's not making
you feel very good, which again I guarantee it's not.
You need a better story about your body. And that's
what I wanted to do, was just give you a
new story about your body so that you can stop
fighting your body and stop restricting your body and punishing
it and blaming it and shaming it and comparing it,
and go get right with it. Like go, learn how
(26:27):
to take care of your body. And again we learn
you can't love what you don't take care of, right,
And so I do invite you, like push pause on
starting a new food plan and hold off on starting
that new workout thing or membership or whatever, and just
learn how to take care of the body that you
have and that includes your fat and you're fascia and
(26:48):
accept that it's yours and you'll have it for the
rest of your life. And like go get on the
same team right, and commit to taking care of it
because you only have one, and then you can figure
out how to influence and if you still want to
change it. But I do invite you to stop being
so mean to yourself in the meantime, right, like quitting
with the mental jabs and the verbal smack talking and
(27:09):
treating yourself like dirt because you think you want to
change your body, right, And in inviting you to lay
down the weapons of judgment and restriction and punishment and
control that maybe food and exercise have become to you,
and go learn how to take care of your body first, right,
Because if you are stuck in that, in that cycle,
(27:29):
you're only fighting, battling and resisting yourself and you deserve
so much more, so much more. And that's really why
I keep creating these invitations without expectations, because I truly
believe it will transform you. So like again, leaving with
an invitation, you know, what if instead of focusing on
what you're eating or what you're weighing, you went on
(27:51):
your own big fat experiment? And what if that was
the most powerful way to connect to your body and
truly heal your body image and totally step into a
new story about not just your body, but your ability
to influence it and influence your health. And if all
you get from this series is say like, hey, I'm
done shaming and blaming something that I don't even know
(28:12):
much about, and I'm committed to learning about it and
I'm ready to approach it differently and I'm ready to
end the battle I'm in with my body, then that
would honestly make me so so incredibly happy. So yeah,
that is it for today, Outweigh, and that's it for
this series. I truly truly hope you got whatever you
needed to hear and that this just opened your eyes
(28:34):
to something that you weren't seeing. And if you liked
what you heard today and you want to hear more
in depth about what it looks like to rewire your
brain and really heal your relationship with food and your body,
then head over to Stressless Seeding dot com. You can,
you know, watch my Stressless Seating webinar. Its totally free.
I'll walk you through the exact steps that I use
with my clients and just help them heal themselves from
(28:56):
the all or nothing diet mentality for good. But of
course that means you know, without restricting and punishing your
body and definitely without using words like Macro's, calorie burn
and low carb right. So it's all there for you
five easy steps over at stresslessating dot com. So I'm
Leanne Ellington. Thank you so much for joining us for
this series, and I will talk to you soon
I won't let my body out be outwait everything that
I'm made done, won't spend my life trying to change.
I'm learning love who I am, I get, I'm strong,
I feel free, I know every part of me. It's
beautiful and that will always out way if you feel it,
(00:24):
but you are, She'll some love to THEO.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Why get there?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Take you one day? And did you and die out way?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Happy Saturday out wigh. It's leanne here and we are
back for the fourth and final part of the Truth
about Your Fat. And if you missed parts one, two,
and three, definitely go ahead and check those out because
it won't make today makes so much more sense. In fact,
if you're listening today and you haven't heard the first
three parts, you might be like, what the heck is
she talking about? So on that note, though, I'm just
(00:56):
going to dive right in because there's a lot that
I want to cover. Okay, So today I want to
share the five types of fat and fascia that you
might have. And I say the word types because it's
more like this category of cause and effect that I
just want you to be aware of. And when I
say cause and effect, it's kind of like this chicken
egg thing because fat and fascia is a chicken and
(01:20):
egg topic. It's it's like, do I have fashia here
because I have muscular imbalances, or do I have muscular
imbalances because I have fashia here keeping blood and oxygen
from reaching the muscle? Or you know, do I have
fat here because I have fashia binding to my fat,
or do I have fashia binding my fat because there's
fascia that laid itself down here to protect me from
(01:40):
an injury. And again, if what I'm saying does not
sound familiar or sounds a little crazy, we covered all
of this in part two of the series. But really
it's this chicken egg conversation and I wanted to kind
of more or less just put it into a few categories. Again,
just oversimplifying the conversation and making it super accessible for
you an you technical science geeks like myself, Please don't
(02:03):
hear what I'm not saying. I know there's a lot
more complicated interactions going on in the background of what
I'm about to simplify, but for purposes of this podcast, obviously,
you know I'm oversimplifying. And so I found that your
fat and fascia fall into five categories, and let's just
dive right in. So the first one I want to
talk about is what I call stuck fat. Okay, And
(02:25):
as we talked about already, fat can bind to your fascia,
right that duct tape like connective tissue that encases every bone, muscle,
and organ. Fascia pretty much incases everything like it's it's everywhere,
like we talked about. But fascia also plays a big
part in your movement. And like we also talked about before,
you have fascia lines on your body designed to move
(02:49):
with you, and that's why you have them running every
direction and three dimensionally up, down, left, right, diagonal, cross
the body up, all the things right, And that's design
so that they can move with you. But also, like
we talked about, fascia is there to protect you. And
so if your brain and body aren't familiar with or
maybe they don't have a map for specific movement patterns,
(03:11):
or maybe it's like a lose it if you don't
use it kind of thing, your brain will lay down
fascia to assist you with those movements, and it protects
you and supports the movement itself and the joints and
the muscles that aren't doing their jobs. And if you
want that fashia to go away because it's not necessary,
you need to make it not necessary, like you need
(03:32):
to show the nervous system and teach the nervous system like, okay,
we can do the movement on our own by correcting
the movement pattern as in, you know, teach your nervous
system to have the movement map on its own so
that the fascia can It's a it's a process called
stripping when the fascia that's no longer there strips away.
But again, your nervous system needs to feel safe to
do that by getting the actual movement map pattern that
(03:53):
the fascia is helping to do without it. Right. So
that's one side of it. But here's the other side
of it. And I'm still shocked that the mainstream still
isn't talking about this. But fascia can also bind your fat,
which we talked about and if you have excess body fat,
and again that's like your own definitions of it, right,
or maybe it's causing it's weighing you down, like it's
causing pain, or it's causing poor health or whatever, That's
(04:16):
what I really mean when I say excess. Right, But
if you have you know, fat on your body, you
still have to carry it around, right, like it's part
of your body, and so fascia can also in case fat. Okay,
so we talked about this like it's it kind of
makes it a bit of a double whammy. And by
the way, we talked about this in part two, so
definitely check that out. But if you have a layer
(04:38):
of fascially bound fat, you know, kind of riding along
with you throughout all of your movement patterns, not only
does it create a barrier to the blood and oxygen
that you need to get those inactive muscles and movements
firing again, but they also act as a barrier to
those precious catacholamines that you need for fat mobilization to occur. Okay, So,
(04:59):
like I said, double whammy, But it's not this you know,
cheesecake and French fries kind of fat. It's fascially bound fat.
I call it stuck fat. And no amount of you know,
dieting or exercise is going to move it if it
can't get what it needs to be mobilized, which you know, again,
if the blood and oxygen can't get there because there's
(05:19):
a layer of fascia blocking it. It's essentially stuck. And
that's why I call this type of fat stuck fat,
because again it's not a matter of eating less and
moving more. This is a physiological thing where fascia is
now in play. But the cool thing about that is
fascia is this pliable, multible, manipulatable thing. And again, movement
(05:41):
patterns are teachable. But then again, if you don't know
about fascia and don't know how to manipulate it and
get it healthy and of course create the movement maps
that your nervous system doesn't currently have, this type of
fat will stay stuck and most likely the fascia will
continue to build even more layers and get even more
you know, kind of unhealthy. So that is stuck fat.
(06:03):
And I started with that one because it's also kind
of a review of everything that we talked about in
the second part of this series. Okay, but also in
reference to last week's episode, my two secret weapons for
stuck fat are fashion blasting, which we talked about, but
also making sure I'm creating and maintaining the movement maps
that you're supposed to have, but again, like you lose
them if you don't use them. And for that I
(06:24):
refer to doctor Cobb's Z health tools, and like I shared,
my favorite one in my opinion, which is also like
the perfect one for beginners, is his neural warm up.
So we have stuck fat. Okay. The next type of
fat is something I call starved fat. So your brain, body,
nervous system, it needs something called homeostasis. Okay, it needs safety.
(06:47):
Your brain needs to detect safety and security in order
to maintain you know, physiological processes, but especially like if
you want your body to not just survive but actually thrive, right,
like the job of mobilizing fat, for example, it's a
thrive kind of thing. It's like a it's not a
need to it's a want to thing. And so in
(07:08):
order for those things to happen, your brain definitely needs
to detect homeostasis first. And your brain, being the genius
that it is, it's always trying to create and detect homeostasis. Okay.
And basically your brain and body are always monitoring and
detecting whether or not the vessel is stable and safe
(07:29):
and constant, right, and so in other words, it's constantly monitoring.
I say it really your brain, your nervous system, constantly
monitoring whether or not you have everything you require to
function optimally and survive. Okay, I'm just talking bare bone's
minimum survive here, right. Keep in mind losing fat and
(07:49):
building muscle and all the things that we want or
have goals for. Maybe maybe you don't want, right, but
that's a lot that gets talked about. Those would be
like thrive based conversations. You don't need them to survive.
So again, your brain is constantly trying to survive, and
once it knows it can do that, then it can
think about things like fat mobilization and building muscle and
(08:10):
what would be considered thriving. Okay, but your brain and
body need to detect homeostasis first, and what's one of
the main components it looks for and needs for that
to happen. You probably guessed it nutrients. Okay. Notice I
didn't say carbs, fats, proteins. I didn't say macro nutrients.
I'm talking about micro nutrients, right, the vitamins, the minerals, right,
(08:34):
and a lot of dieting. And so maybe if you're
like me and you have a history of the chronic dieting.
And you know, a lot of the diet mentality in
general can actually strip us of nutrients that we need.
So I know, for me, like back when I was
super calorie phobic or fat phobic or carb phobic, oftentimes
I was actually either not getting it at all or
(08:55):
replacing it with chemicals or additives or sweeteners. And you know,
if you if you look at that stuff that's lower
in fat, or lower in carbs, or lower in calories,
a lot of times it's being replaced by chemicals and additives.
And not only does that inhibit our body's ability to
absorb the nutrients that we are getting, but a lot
of these foods are actually void of nutrients at all.
(09:18):
And that's not to say that all low carb and
low fat diets are like this, but oftentimes if we
are reaching for low carb you know, junk foods for example,
like you know that you see at the stores, all
the stores are caring. Now, this is going to put
us in a big nutrient deficiency. And again, like I know,
for me, when I was in the throes of my
disordered eating, like I wasn't thinking about nutrients. I was
(09:38):
thinking about calories and fat, And will this make me
gain weight, lose weight, all the things. But man, I
wish as somebody had told me about nutrients and like
having a nutrient focused kind of thought process, right, And
again please no, there is no judgment, no shame about this.
But the whole nutrient homeostasis thing was not something I
was thinking about or aware of when I was, you know,
like I said, at the height of my disorderedy and
(10:00):
I wish somebody had told me about it, Okay, and
please don't hear what I'm not saying, right, I'm not
telling you like go out and eat a hamburger and
French fries and milkshake for dinner every single night, and
you know, definitely give yourself the freedom to do that.
But I'm saying this, like, if you're gonna be eating
that for dinner, you know your body's gonna be a
lot happier if it's also getting the nutrients it needs
(10:21):
alongside it. So there's the flip side of it too, right,
the disordered eating or maybe the orthorexia where you're not
eating enough and you're not getting nutrients. But then I know, again,
my flip side, my binge eating disorder was like you know,
all these foods that also didn't have nutrients. So I'm
not telling you don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm
just saying, like, what if you started focusing on nutrients period, right,
(10:41):
and you know, making sure that what you're putting in
your body, like thinking is it enough for your nervous
sys to actually feel like it's reaching homeostasis?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
And again, this is not a calories or macro's conversation.
It's a micro nutrient and nutrient conversation, okay, And I
wouldn't be who I was if I didn't at least mention. Again,
this is where the whole you know, calories in versus
calories out theory can actually be harmful to your nervous
system and your body because again that restrictive mentality tends
to also restrict us from getting the vital nutrients that
(11:13):
we need to thrive. And again, whether you like it
or not, fat mobilization or building muscle, it's a thrive
activity for your nervous system. You know, the survive components
of your nervous system are focused on you probably guessed
it surviving and you know thriving in body composition, that's
not your nervous system's priority. So if you do want
things like that, you need to give your nervous system
(11:35):
what it needs, and that's nutrients. Okay. So what you're
eating and how much of it, Yeah, it's a part
of the equation, but it's what you're not eating and
how you're feeling while you're eating, too, is a big
part of it too, that your brain and nervous system
is really concerned with. Okay. And you know, nowadays most
women are walking around overfed but undernourished, and this is
(11:57):
another major blockade to that homeostace that we talked about,
right And you know, again, no homeostasis, no fuel for
that the process of fat mobilization which we talked about
in part two, and so that's why I call it
starved fat. Okay, So that is starved fat, all right.
The next type of fat we're going to talk about
is something I call stressed fat. The next type of
(12:24):
fat we're going to talk about is something I call
stressed fat. So whenever you feel annoyed or mad or
stressed or uneasy about anything, your body elicits a stress
response and it lays down a cocktail of those infamous
stress storage hormones that we hear about all the time
in the health industry, specifically cortisol and epinephrine, But in reality,
(12:47):
like those are just simply stress hormones. And not only
is stress itself fattening, as I like to say, but
did you know that it also affects you metabolically and
affects your nervous systems. So when you're stress, you're in
the sympathetic part of your nervous system. But most of
the things that contribute to what you want to happen,
real things again, like fat mobilization and just optimal health,
(13:11):
and all of those things are going to be optimized
if you're in the parasympathetic branch of your nervous system.
And it's nicknamed the rest and digest brain, and so
digestion and absorption of nutrients can only optimally happen when
your parasympathetic tissue. Repair regeneration and that fat mobilization we
talked about can only optimally take place when you're parasympathetic.
(13:34):
And again this is not calories and calories out. I'm
just repeating that pattern, right, because again I know for me,
when I was at the height of disorder, I was
just thinking about calories calories, calories, But the reality is like,
when you're stressed out, none of that matters. And that's
actually a perfect segue into the next type of fat
I want to talk about, because there's crossover and the
(13:54):
concept is very similar. So I figure, let's talk about
these two together. So I call this next one sad fat.
So they're stressed fat and they're sad fat. But there's
a big distinction here, like how do you feel when
you think about your body, when you think about your fat,
when you think about your injuries, when you think about
your weight, when you just think about yourself and your body, right,
(14:17):
how are you talking to yourself and about yourself? And
most women don't even think about the fact that how
they're feeling about themselves and their actual body image, how
that is a factor in whether or not they're able
to reach their physiological goals. But it's a massive factor. Okay,
So sadness or any type of air quotes negative emotions,
(14:40):
And of course I say air quotes because no emotions
are outright negative. They all have their place, but some
emotions obviously don't always feel good right, things like shame
and blame and guilt and comparisonitis, and perfectionism and self
condemnation and self rejection, and I could go on and
on and on. But any emotion that doesn't make you
feel very good, unfortunately, it's also seen as stress to
(15:04):
your brain. And just like actual you know, reptilian fight
or flight stress, these emotions trigger that same hormonal response
like I talk about in depth in the tail of
Two Cookies, which I'll link to my masterclass in the
show notes where I go kind of in depth into
the nitty gritty of that. But the other side of
it is this, Okay, when you feel like this, when
(15:25):
you know, feel all your feels, what do you usually do? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Do you process it and let it move through you?
Like are you emotionally available to yourself in those moments?
Or do you numb it out and ignore it?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Right? Like?
Speaker 2 (15:38):
How do you react when you feel those air quotes
negative emotions? Okay? And so here's my point, Like, whether
you're crying on the outside or crying on the inside,
this is when most women tend to look for comfort
and distractions and mindless activities and some sort of short
term gratification or pleasure to numb out the pain. Because
(15:59):
the Malian part of your brain, specifically what I call
the social brain. It's it's called the anterior singulate cortex
or ACC. But I really teach my clients to remember
this part of the brain by remembering that the letters
AC ACC stand for acceptance, connection, and care, as in,
you know, the part of your brain is always looking
(16:20):
for acceptance, connection, care, or comfort, which is another C
as in you know, do I feel connected? Do I
feel accepted? Do I feel cared for by others? And
do I feel it from myself? Okay, but what it's
really looking for is oxytocin, and that social brain will
get it from somewhere. So if you don't have the
(16:40):
tools to deal with your emotions properly and you tend
to numb out on food or Netflix or mindless TV
or anything like that, and trust me, there's no judgment.
I've used them all. But you can't will power your
way through that. That's a brain thing, right, And if
you're curious about that, I talk about that more in
depth to in my masterclass and how it's it's not
a matter of you being a self sabotageer or weak willed.
(17:02):
It's actually something that's happening in your brain. But you
can actually do something about it if you have the tools.
But I know, for me, like eating my favorite comfort
foods while curled up on the couch and you know,
binge watching Netflix, it feels comforting for a little while,
and then it just becomes the opposite. After a while,
that high goes away and you're left with the original emotions,
(17:24):
only now they're further magnified because you have all that
guilt and shame and self blame about numbing out on
the couch and food with food and Netflix. Right, it's
like a big vicious cycle. And so I call it
sad fat because again you can understand how this has
a really big effect on your health. And this is
again something that has nothing to do with calories and
versus calories out because it's not that simple, right, So
(17:47):
that's sad fat. How do you think that's gonna affect homeostasis,
which is literally what you need for fat mobilization. And
again it's one of those things where it's like I
didn't even know that this was relevant or relative to this,
but it's all related. So that's sad fat. Let's round
it out and talk about type five, which I call
(18:08):
suffocated fat. Let's round it out and talk about type five,
which I call suffocated fat. So, ladies, stop what you're
doing for just a second and just take a deep
breath in and take a deep breath out. Okay, you're back. Okay,
(18:28):
So let me ask you this. Did you suck your
stomach in when you took that big inhale? Did you
suck it in when you inhaled? And so chances are,
if you're anything like me, you probably answered yes. Like
for me, I got so used to sucking my stomach
in all the time from being self conscious of my
weight or whatever, like it was just a habit, right,
Or maybe I just never optimally learned how to breathe.
(18:50):
I didn't realize I was totally rocking my nervous system
by inverting my breath. So breathing is another simple way
to get your nervous system to fire optimally and increase
your physical health by triggering that homeostasis. And so most
women aren't even aware that their breathing patterns are the
direct opposite of how their body was designed to breathe.
(19:11):
And so, like I just mentioned, if you're used to
sucking your sum again when you inhale, then your breath
First of all, it's an opportunity, but that's an inverted
way of breathing, and your breath is also the easiest
and fastest way to change the state of your body
and let your body and nervous system, you know, move
towards homeostasis. So if you can get yourself breathing better,
(19:33):
you're going to immediately improve your brain and neurological environment,
and your digestive and metabolic environment, and your hormonal environment,
your muscular skeletal environment, all of it. Okay, essentially it
changes your entire fat and fascia environment because it's changing
your homeostasis environment. Let me walk you through this practically.
(19:55):
So for example, you know, take a deep breath in,
but when you breathe in, maybe you can put your
hand on your belly, like picture your belly expanding like
a big balloon when you breathe in, and when you
breathe in, your belly is expanding to fill up that
balloon with air. Okay, Then every time you breathe out,
picture your belly contracting and the air going out of
(20:17):
that balloon. So again it's like opposite. I used to
suck it in and most women are, so every time
you breathe in, belly expands. Every time you breathe out,
belly contracts. And so I'll take it a step further.
So close your eyes for a second, and every time
you breathe in, let your belly expand, and imagine it's
a cool crisp blue pepperminty air. And every time you
(20:39):
breathe out, let your belly contract, and picture breathing out
are red, hot, fiery cinnamony air. Okay, so what we
just did there We added in quite a few elements
of your sensory system to your breath. But I've shared
this before, but your nervous system cannot really tell the
difference between a real and an imagined experience. So I
(21:00):
just told you, you know, breathe it in, your belly expands,
it's a cool crisp blue pepperminty air. We didn't really
have cool crisp blue pepperminty, but your nervous system had
a map for it, right, So we added in color, taste, texture,
smell to your sensory system and your nervous system simply
by using your imagination. Not to mention, we got your
(21:22):
breathing optimal, right. We optimally use the muscles of inspiration
and the muscles of expiration. And I know this must
seem like such a small thing to most people, but
it's a massive way to optimize your nervous system and
create homeostasis, which we already talked is crucial for your
fat and fascia journey. Okay, your respiratory system is the
(21:44):
number one thing that your nervous system is looking to
for surviving and thriving. And that's why I call this
suffocated fat. And when you get your body breathing better,
your nervous system and your fat and fashia will thank you,
thank you so much. So that's it. Those are the
five types of fat that I wanted you to just
(22:06):
be aware of. So we have stuck fat, we've got
starved fat, we've got stressed fat, we've got sad fat,
and we've got suffocated fat. Okay, And again I'm calling
it a type for simplicity because I want you to
just be aware that it's this chicken egg conversation. I mean,
even the five types of fat, you see how there's
(22:27):
chicken eggs within them, right, And I wanted to kind
of more or less put it in a few categories again,
just oversimplifying the conversation and really making it super accessible
for you. So again, any tech geeks out there, I
know there's a lot more complicated interactions going on in
the background, but for purposes of this, we're just oversimplifying. Okay.
My big point is this, though, there is so much
(22:50):
more to your fat and fascia than mainstream information has
taught us. Okay, it is not just a food or
workout thing. What you're eating and your exercise methods are
very downstream in relation to what's happening upstream in your brain. Okay,
and trust me when I say your nervous system is
(23:11):
the one calling the shots. So what if we finally
stopped focusing on the effects of your fat and fascia
and swam upstream to get to the cause and the
root of the fat and fascia situation. And so instead
of talking about exercise or burning calories, let's talk about
the steps you're already taking, Like, how can you make
(23:31):
them count more? How can you make each rep and
step and breath work smarter for you by getting your
muscles and your joints firing more optimally and getting more
bang for your buck. Because your fat and fascia are healthier, right,
and then add more of something else, like if you
want to add more after that, you can, But it's
like literally, instead of adding more, take what you're doing
(23:53):
and supercharge it and make it more effective.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And instead of talking about calories or whether it's the
form of protein or fat or carbohydrate, it's like, how
can you get your brain and body digesting better and
extracting more by focusing on nutrients. Then, no matter how
much you're putting in your body, it's actually getting used
and optimized, or at least it has a chance to be.
And instead of talking about mindset and motivation and goal setting,
(24:17):
let's talk about your brain set and your self image
and the stressors and pain in your head and heart
that are keeping you from doing it. All that are
maybe keeping you shaming yourself or disappointed in yourself or
burnt out or believing yourself less and less. Each time
you say like, Okay, I'm gonna start over again on Monday,
it all matters. All that shame and blame and self
criticism again, You're learning time and time again that the
(24:40):
thoughts you're thinking are not benign and it has everything
to do with how fat and fascia get laid down
in your body. Okay. So this really is a conversation
about letting your body work smarter for you and making
your body smarter. It's an awareness and it's a mindset
and it really is a new way of thinking. But
it's one that will not only transform your body, but
(25:01):
it will set you free. Okay, Because here's the reality
and really a great way to put a wrapper around
this series. There's so much about your body that I
promise you you don't know. And if somewhere along the
lines your body tricked you into thinking it was undesirable
or unattractive or a burden or a new sance or
(25:21):
like there's no ever way you're ever gonna be able
to trust it right or like it, then I'm inviting you, like,
you need a better story about your body, okay. And
if your body image was formed in the eyes of
food shame or fat shame or body shame, and it's
keeping you from feeling beautiful and powerful and confident, then
you need a better story about your body. And if
(25:43):
you're comparing yourself to someone that you think is smaller
or more desirable, or fit, or athletic or air quotes
perfect and it's not making you feel very good, and
I promise you it's not. You need a better story
about your body. And if you're comparing your body to
something like a number or a measurement or a picture
or you know, a common opinion of what you think
(26:05):
is good, bad, right or wrong, and it's not making
you feel very good, which again I guarantee it's not.
You need a better story about your body. And that's
what I wanted to do, was just give you a
new story about your body so that you can stop
fighting your body and stop restricting your body and punishing
it and blaming it and shaming it and comparing it,
and go get right with it. Like go, learn how
(26:27):
to take care of your body. And again we learn
you can't love what you don't take care of, right,
And so I do invite you, like push pause on
starting a new food plan and hold off on starting
that new workout thing or membership or whatever, and just
learn how to take care of the body that you
have and that includes your fat and you're fascia and
(26:48):
accept that it's yours and you'll have it for the
rest of your life. And like go get on the
same team right, and commit to taking care of it
because you only have one, and then you can figure
out how to influence and if you still want to
change it. But I do invite you to stop being
so mean to yourself in the meantime, right, like quitting
with the mental jabs and the verbal smack talking and
(27:09):
treating yourself like dirt because you think you want to
change your body, right, And in inviting you to lay
down the weapons of judgment and restriction and punishment and
control that maybe food and exercise have become to you,
and go learn how to take care of your body first, right,
Because if you are stuck in that, in that cycle,
(27:29):
you're only fighting, battling and resisting yourself and you deserve
so much more, so much more. And that's really why
I keep creating these invitations without expectations, because I truly
believe it will transform you. So like again, leaving with
an invitation, you know, what if instead of focusing on
what you're eating or what you're weighing, you went on
(27:51):
your own big fat experiment? And what if that was
the most powerful way to connect to your body and
truly heal your body image and totally step into a
new story about not just your body, but your ability
to influence it and influence your health. And if all
you get from this series is say like, hey, I'm
done shaming and blaming something that I don't even know
(28:12):
much about, and I'm committed to learning about it and
I'm ready to approach it differently and I'm ready to
end the battle I'm in with my body, then that
would honestly make me so so incredibly happy. So yeah,
that is it for today, Outweigh, and that's it for
this series. I truly truly hope you got whatever you
needed to hear and that this just opened your eyes
(28:34):
to something that you weren't seeing. And if you liked
what you heard today and you want to hear more
in depth about what it looks like to rewire your
brain and really heal your relationship with food and your body,
then head over to Stressless Seeding dot com. You can,
you know, watch my Stressless Seating webinar. Its totally free.
I'll walk you through the exact steps that I use
with my clients and just help them heal themselves from
(28:56):
the all or nothing diet mentality for good. But of
course that means you know, without restricting and punishing your
body and definitely without using words like Macro's, calorie burn
and low carb right. So it's all there for you
five easy steps over at stresslessating dot com. So I'm
Leanne Ellington. Thank you so much for joining us for
this series, and I will talk to you soon
