CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

We've got a special minisode today! If you can get past the audio quality (I recorded outside on my iPhone), this message will help you make the most of each day! Every once in a while I record voice notes for my Fat Loss Fast Track clients (I recorded one for them while playing racquetball the other day) and I'm sharing one of them with you today! As I worked out, I thought about the power in the...

The Primal Potential podcast is your podcast. I want to help you overcome your struggles & challenges. I want to help you reach your unique goals. This week, it's been obvious that many people are struggling with their evening eating habits so today I'm sharing 4 strategies to help you tackle nighttime eating! I know that many of you feel in control all day long but out of control at night. I know...

Sometimes we think we can out-smart ourselves. We think that with enough willpower, grit & determination, we can out-smart ourselves. I don't think that's too effective. I want to help you work WITH yourself, not against yourself. In today's episode, I want to help you conquer inconsistency and self-sabotage but helping you understand why we so often give in and what we can do to be more strategic...

No matter what we spend our time & energy doing, we want to make sure we're getting as much from it as possible! While exercise isn't the be-all-end-all of fat burning and physique improvement, it does have the power to accelerate o...

Dieting didn't work for me. Sure, I lost weight sometimes, but it was a yo-yo cycle of deprivation followed by over-indulgence - of weight loss followed by weight gain (misery and obsession accompanying every step). I got to the point where I realized that I was working hard, obsessing over food but not getting where I wanted to go and not achieving the goals that mattered most. In today's episode...

Today we're talking about food! I'm sharing some of my favorite summer meals that are quick, easy, delicious and totally fat loss friendly! In today's episode I talk about the relationship between deprivation and temptation. Basically, the more you deprive yourself, the less you create fat loss friendly meals you actually enjoy, the more likely you are to be tempted by EVERYTHING. The less you're...

There was a definite theme in my coaching this week - individuals who feel overwhelmed or like they aren't sure where to start or how to proceed. I've got you covered in today's episode! If you ever feel overwhelmed by your goals or by all the strategies & approaches available to you, if you ever feel like you don't know how or where to dive in, we will clear that up in today's episode. http://pri...

Food issues, guilt, emotional eating and food obsession are not exclusive to overweight and obese individuals. Not even a little bit. Today, we're talking about thin people & food issues. Except, it's more than that. We're talking to my sister. A couple weeks ago, I had my mom on the show. It was a tough episode but we talked about how, as a thin mother, she really struggled with having an overwei...

I used to be my own worst enemy. There was a huge gap between what I wanted and what I did. There wasn't anyone keeping me from achieving my goals...except for me. Because of that, one of my affirmations is now "I am militantly on my own side". I am on my team. I will not sabotage myself. I don't need all the answers but I will not stop seeking, trying and finding a way. In today's motivational mi...

If we could master how to stop overeating, we'd be pretty much all set, right? In fact, I'd be a bazillionaire if I could give you just a couple words to help you stop overeating forever. Easier said than done, for sure! But today we are moving in that direction. I want to help you understand why we overeat and what we can do about it, beginning today. If you listen to the facts & strategies in th...

What is food guilt? We've all done it to ourselves, one bad food choice leads to throwing in the towel on the entire day. That gross feeling and disappointment with ourselves, that is  food guilt.  Beating yourself up and assigning emotion to your food choices is the essence of food guilt. Looking at yourself as good or bad based on your food choices - that is food guilt. Here's what I want you to...

Everyone knows that hindsight is 20/20. We all wish we could go back and give our younger self's advice. Today's podcast focuses on the exact opposite idea. The past is in the past, we've learned lessons the hard way, and it is time to move on and look forward. In today's podcast (one of my favorites!), I'm talking about lessons to my future self. All of this introspection was inspired by the arti...

OK, you've decided to make a change, but you have no idea where to start (or restart). Today's podcast will dive into my #1 fat loss recommendation: tracking. We aren't talking about calorie counting, carb or macro counting, just some down and dirty quick journaling. In less time than it takes to obsessively count your item of choice (and with far less frustration), you can learn more about what i...

We are continuing our celebration of Primal Potential's 2nd anniversary with a super special guest! My friend and former Fat Loss Fast Tracker, Maggie! I want you to hear directly from someone who has transformed, inside and out, over the last 14 or so months. She has lost 50 lbs, more than 13 inches from her waist and she feels that the biggest changes she made were to the way she thinks! That's...

Today is a special & emotional episode! My mom is on the show! Yup, we are discussing the problem behind the problem - where my unhealthy relationship with food & body image began and how she coped with raising an overweight child. While I don't think our past defines us and I certainly don't think we're stuck there, I absolutely believe it is important to evaluate your self-limiting food & body i...

Listen to hear all the details and click her...

In response to the recent episode on the 3 stages of carbohydrate intolerance, I got an email that merits further discussion. I want everyone to understand that while yes, our food choices drive blood sugar and are primarily responsible for our fat loss and lack thereof, there are non-food influences on blood sugar. That's right - there are physiological and lifestyle factors that drive blood suga...

I recently read " Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable " by Tim Grover and he introduced a personality classification that I found to be thought-provoking. His classification describes people who get things done and reach their highest potential versus people who don't. I started to think about the thousands of people I've worked with who are trying to burn fat and improve their bodies an...

We've got another book club episode today! On a recent road trip I listened to Ryan Holiday's new book Ego is the Enemy and there were so many powerful lessons! I just need to share them with you! Many of these are game changers! I was a big fan of his earlier book, The Obstacle Is The Way so I was eager to get my hands on Ego is the Enemy. It did not disappoint. In today's episode I'm sharing the...

In today's episode I'm sharing the CliffNotes & takeaway of a white paper written by Dr. Philip Maffetone about the three stages of carbohydrate intolerance. To download the free whitepaper for yourself, click here. Carbohydrate intolerance not only encourages weight gain, it impairs fat loss, damages the metabolism and triggers the development of illness and disease. Most importantly, after we as...

Today's episode is all about something I say often: short term strategies deliver short term results. If you cannot maintain the strategy that delivers the results, you will not sustain the results themselves. Any approach that requires white-knuckled willpower should be a real red flag that you might be working hard for results you won't maintain. http://primalpotential.com/198-white-knuckles-red...

Cheat day.  Overeating.  Binge eating.  Call it what you want. The bottom line is - overeating has an immediate, negative effect on your metabolism! In today's episode, we are talking about the physical, hormonal, and metabolic impact of overeating or binge eating. I want you to know and understand that your body does not "reset" the following day simply because it's a new day and your fat burning...

  Forget what you have heard!  You can eat carbohydrates and still successfully meet your fat loss goals and maintain the results. There are hundreds of opinions related to carbs & fat loss and it's tough to know which one is most effective. We're going to clear that up and ensure that you don't have to subscribe to models of restriction or deprivation in order to burn fat and have plenty of energ...
