Confident Eaters – Details, episodes & analysis

Could your boundaries use some work? If you've struggled with your health and weight for some time, you might be able to pinpoint it on certain life stressors, a demanding job, an injury, genetics, or the belief that you lack discipline. Sometimes, however, hidden factors like low self esteem and lack of healthy boundaries play a much bigger role in weight gain than people imagine. 

Luckily, we can improve these with some intentional work, and it contributes to success in permanently losing weight. That's what today's episode is all about. We coaches at Confident Eaters help our clients choose the most effective skills for each individual so that they get the most results out of their efforts. 

How would you know if working on boundaries is worthwhile for you personally? Well, we coaches have to make that determination all the time. In this episode, join Georgie and Christina share not only how we determine which clients could use help with their boundaries, but also a few steps you can take to start practicing today!

And, as always, if you would like some support practicing your own boundaries or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

We often hear from our clients that body and weight have been a topic of conversation from the time they were little kids. Your body and weight may have been criticized, policed, praised, scrutinized, shamed, or complimented early in life and it doesn't stop when we grow up either. Your personal trainer, doctor, friends, or spouse might say something about your weight, especially if it has gone up or down recently.

Receiving critical comments about our bodies can be annoying, discouraging, and damaging to our overall health and well being. Hearing something positive about our body or appearance might feel really good. But is it as simple as people saying negative things about our bodies makes us feel bad and saying positive things makes us feel good? Not quite. 

Join Georgie and Christina as we discuss how we help clients navigate body talk and compliments. In the episode, we cover some tips on giving compliments to other people And in the second part of the episode, we talk about how to be on the receiving end of body talk with real client examples. And, as always, if you would like some support or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

How come you don't write meal plans? Am I putting in enough effort to make a difference? Why am I not losing fat if my body is in "fat burn mode"? If you have had any or all of those thoughts or questions on your journey to food freedom, then you're going to get a lot out of this episode.

Listen in on Coach Georgie's conversation with Haylin Alpert, the owner of Core Principles Gym in Stamford, CT, as they discuss common questions we get in the Nutrition coaching world. (If you missed their other conversations, you can check it out HERE and their second conversation HERE.)

If you are a really busy person and you can't stand the thought of making one more decision, especially when it comes to nutrition; or you lack confidence that you know how to make the "right" decisions with your eating, then you've probably thought that a meal plan would be the best solution for you to finally see some progress. Listen to hear why Georgie thinks there is a better approach than prescriptive meal plans if you want to see long term success. We want to promote your autonomy and help you develop the confidence in yourself to make the best decisions for you and your goals.

Next up, how do you know if you're putting in enough effort with the changes you want to make? As coaches, it is our job to help you determine how to make the most beneficial efforts towards your goals. We love to help people understand what that looks like for each individual because we know that you have a life you want to live outside of working on your nutrition and behaviors. Lastly, have you ever wondered what the difference between fat burning mode and fat loss is? Georgie breaks it down for you in today's episode.

We hope that you find this episode helpful! If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you.

What do you do when you've finally decided to quit dieting, but everyone around you seems to still be starting this diet or that and talking about it constantly? "Diet talk" is all around us, but that doesn't mean we have to fall prey to the juice cleanse your coworker lost 6 lb. on, or the diet book your mom really wants you to read.

In this episode, coaches Georgie and Christina give you practical tips and real client insights as to how you can navigate diet conversations gracefully and effectively. We will show you how you don't have to participate in diet debates, feel guilty for eating that blueberry muffin, or take it personally when your friend is measuring their thigh diameters.

You don't have to take any drastic measures. You get to be on your own journey. Remind yourself that if you are working on lifelong nutrition habits, your results won't look like the results someone gets from a crash weight loss diet, but they will be lifelong. This is about building up your life and making it greater, rather thank making it rigid and small.

Keep respecting yourself,  feeding and loving yourself as best you can and let that diet talk roll right off of you! 

If you would like some support handling other people dieting or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

Have you ever heart of an end of eating ritual? An end of eating ritual is not anything involving tiki torches in the jungle. We're talking about a simple behavior that you can practice doing at the end of your meals to help with moving on. Even though you have completed thousands of meals in your life, you might wonder why would you consider adding one now? If you are someone who has a difficult time ending your meals, whether that is from wanting to delay having to begin an unpleasant task, or wanting to extend the pleasure of eating, then check out this episode to see if adding one would be helpful in your journey to becoming a confident, sensible eater. 

In this episode, listen as coaches Georgie and Christina discuss why creating an end of eating ritual can help end the debate of wondering if you've had enough or whether you should go back for a little more, or even just mindlessly carrying on eating because you don't know when to stop. If you feel like your brain is persistently seeking just one more piece of that, just one more helping, or just one more of this, we are going to show you how we help clients dramatically decrease that pull.

We will show you what elements of an end of eating ritual we have found to be most beneficial so that you can customize what that might look like for you. You can make it as simple or as complex as you want! Join us as we share real client examples and practical applications that you can start today to get further support to reach your goals. Let us know if you give it a try!   

And, if you would like some support developing your own end of eating ritual or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

Do you regularly move for enjoyment? Maybe you have a checkered past with exercise and you equate fitness with suffering and a "no pain no gain" mentality. If so, it can feel like a chore you need to do rather than being something you enjoy, or something that brings relief from stress or the other benefits that can come from exercise.

In this episode, we're talking all about how to unlock joy in fitness and how to transform your exercise mindset. The reason this is important is because if we enjoy something, we are more likely to do it and look forward to it! Join coaches Georgie and Shannon as they share client examples and their own stories of overcoming gym intimidation, experimenting with new modalities of movement, and discovering their own love for moving their bodies.

Like with most things we discuss on our podcast, even movement is not a one size fits all! Each person is different, and comes with their own history of movement. So, we want to encourage you that you're not too old, you're not too uncoordinated, you're not too big or too small to enjoy movement, no matter what has happened in the past. Listen in and learn how to take the pressure off and give yourself permission to have a fun time moving around. 

If you would like some support developing your own love for movement and don't know where to start, or you have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

Is sugar going to kill you prematurely? Is eating a banana the same thing as eating a snickers bar? Why do I feel out of control around food?  What about if I want something but I don't want it at the same time? How do I make the right decision? If you have had any or all of those thoughts or questions on your journey to food freedom, then you're going to get a lot out of this episode. 

Listen in on Coach Georgie's conversation with Haylin Alpert, the owner of Core Principles Gym in Stamford, CT, as they discuss common questions we get in the Nutrition coaching world. (If you missed their first conversation, you can check it out HERE.) Speaking of nutrition coaching, if your only experience with nutrition has been restrictive diets and macro tracking, but you've never been able to see long term results, BUT you wonder if actually hiring a coach is "worth it", then you'll get to hear what we think about that. We believe that anyone can learn to become a confident, sensible eater, no matter what has happened in the past. In fact, hiring a coach could bring you more freedom than signing up for another diet.

Listen at Georgie and Haylin discuss how hiring a coach, one that deals beyond meal plans and macros, can actually bring you more freedom than signing up for another diet. You're going to hear some evidence-based actionable strategies that you can start using today to become a more confident, sensible eater.

In life, we are not immune to discomfort and disappointments. It's part of the human experience! It can come in the form of physical pain, relational conflict, disappointing news, and good ole day to day frustrations, just to name a few.

How do you normally handle discomfort?

Unfortunately, many of us were not taught how to handle discomfort in a constructive way. Because of this, we learn maladaptive ways of coping, which can lead to further frustration, self-sabotage, and giving up on reaching our goals. If you were never taught how to handle discomfort in a healthy way, then we want you to know that it's not too late. Just like any skill, you can practice and develop it! In fact, we believe this is one of the most important skills you can learn on your journey to being a confident, sensible eater. Why? Because we have seen our clients become more resilient to the curveballs of life and strengthen their relationships as a result. 

Join coaches Georgie and Christina we talk about learning how to handle the discomforts of life. Listen as we share real life examples and practical applications that you can use. And of course, if you need support developing the skill of sitting with discomfort or have a question you want us to answer on the podcast, we'd love to hear from you!

Do you struggle with staying motivated? Lots of people love the fresh start of the New Year to create health goals. Have you been feeling that or riding that high? But what happens if motivation wanes over time or you suffer a setback? Is it just a matter of having "enough" discipline to push through? Or could something else be going on?

Both of these are significant for understanding and approaching behavior change and sometimes misunderstood and underutilized. We are going to share some real life examples of how you can learn to strengthen your motivation, intentionally practice curiosity towards the habits in your life, and how to use experimentation to break out of a rut. We are committed to helping you learn to create the life you want to live and become a confident sensible eater.
