Today on the Balancing Chaos Podcast, Kelley welcomes registered dietitian and nutrition expert Ilana Muhlstein. Ilana is passionate about helping people manage and lose weight and helping children establish a healthy relationship with food from a young age because when she was eight years old, she was shipped off to “Fat Camp.” She lost 30 pounds in one summer, but came back to school and gained it all back. She fell into a horrible yoyo dieting cycle and by 13 years old she was 215 pounds at 5'2". She had a horrible dependency on comfort food, diets and deprivation, all at the same time. A few years later, Ilana discovered the formula and the mindset approach for sustainable weight loss: simple tweaks to her food environment, nutrition selection and emotional reactions. Her 100-pound weight loss transformation inspired her to be the most credible nutrition expert in the field so she can help others.
On today's episode of the show, Ilana shares her unique framework for overcoming weight loss plateaus, revving up slow-moving metabolisms, and ensuring sustainable weight loss maintenance for years to come. Their conversation touches on what really matters when you're trying to lose weight, how to break free from emotional eating, using the scale as a tool for motivation and progress, why all calories are not created equal and how to eat smarter NOT LESS! Plus, if you're looking to implement strategies to help your children have a healthier relationship with food, Kelley and Ilana dive into deficiencies that come from poor nutrition in childhood, how to raise balanced eaters, and how it's our responsibility as parents to teach them from a young age about food that nourishes our little ones. This episode promises to be a treasure trove of valuable insights for women trying to lose weight and keep it off, and parents aiming to keep their kids happy and healthy!
