Smart Weight Loss Coaching | Nutrition, Mindset and Fitness Tips for Women Who Want To Level Up Their Health, Wellness and Lo – Details, episodes & analysis

If you think people who are thin have more willpower than those struggling to lose weight, think again. Our food decisions are influenced more by our external environment than our internal self regulation. We all have self control, but we also all have limits. When we tap into our willpower, we're going to deplete it, leaving ourselves vulnerable when the next food decision comes along.

Today, Dr. Lisa shares the findings from a clever study involving radishes, chocolate chip cookies, and willpower. If you're trying to lose weight, improve your health, and live healthier longer, it's critical to understand what influences your food decisions.

Perhaps it's time to give yourself grace, and have some self compassion when you feel too tapped out to pass on a chocolate chip cookie. Turns out, it isn't your fault. Fortunately, with a heightened awareness of what depletes your self control, and a plan for how to mitigate that, you can turn things around. With just a few tweaks and some self awareness, navigating food decisions just got a lot easier.

What is going on with us when we're trying to lose weight, but find ourselves eating too much, too fast, after sliding into that dreaded combo of HUNGRY + ANGRY.

But don't resign yourself to being HANGRY. Let Dr. Lisa walk you through some research on what's going on in our brains when we get this way, and what we can do about it.

Are you contemplating a change in your routine to drive your weight loss or improve your health? Dr. Lisa has a four step plan to get you on the right track. In part one of this series, she does a deep dive into what it looks like to BELIEVE that weight loss is possible. She also shares what it sounds like when someone doesn't believe. If you don't believe weight loss is possible for you, take a listen. You might just find that grain of belief that's all you need to climb the ladder, and start changing things up.

We ALL have moments when we ruminate and spin in negative thoughts. Often that happens at night, preventing us from sleeping well. And the more we spin, the more that negativity impacts our feelings, leaving us disempowered, angry, frustrated, or defeated. Of course when we feel defeated, we rarely focus on our self care. Who wants to eat broccoli, get some exercise, and work on weight loss when they feel defeated? Often, we prefer chocolate, wine, or pizza when we're trying to self soothe after ruminating. Today, Dr. Lisa reviews a technique called thought interrupting. It's a way to catch these spinning thoughts and reformat them, so we don't sabotage our weight loss, our sleep, and our health. Today's episode also features a cameo appearance by Dr. Lisa's daughter. Listen in to hear what she has to say about interrupting thoughts.
