I also touch on labelling food as "good" or "bad" and why it's so unhelpful!  Urge management is a skill which you can start mastering today. Have a listen to fin...

This week, I have the pleasure of chatting with Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Ian Martin about ADHD and how it can impact our eating (and drinking) behaviours.  Dr Martin explains what ADHD is, how it most commonly presents in women in their 30s, 40s and into menopause, and how best to create eating habit change for those with ADHD. We discuss self-criticism, failure/risk avoidance, striving for perf...

Do you regularly eat when you're bored, stressed, happy, angry, sad? Do you regularly eat when you're not physically hungry but want the act of eating to soothe and comfort you? If YES, this is the episode for you.  I share why I think changing your goal from weight loss to stopping buffering can be much more compelling and effective in helping you to stop eating to solve your emotions....

In this short episode, I read a poem by Jeff Foster about what we really want in life. I like the idea of considering your cravings and desire for food and alcohol through the lens of this poem, thinking about what might be lacking in your life, and how to see abundance in the present moment that you're in.  I'm wishing you all a beautiful Easter and I'll see you after the break to...

If you've ever smoked, you know how strong your desire can be for a cigarette. And if you've quit smoking, you know it's normal to sometimes still fancy one and like the smell! The key is to not panic in those moments thinking your desire for a cigarette is a problem or has to mean you start smoking again! In today's episode, I explain how I smelled a cigarette the other day an...

This episode explores the concept of body gratitude and what it could mean for your eating and drinking behaviours.  When you focus on body gratitude, you don't tear yourself apart each day hoping that the unkindness will make you finally follow your eating plan or lose weight.  You focus on all the things your body does for you and how you can repay the kindness. It's a powerful tool th...

If there was one podcast that I wanted everyone to listen to, it would be this one. Diet mentality is deeply engrained within us and our culture, and is STOPPING us from getting the weight loss results we want. It's a complete diet paradox! The thing we're doing creates the opposite results to what it claims. This episode explains why it’s tripping you up and how to move past it. It&apos...

In this bonus episode, I share a story from my commute to the British Library last week. In a fleeting moment, I had two choices: to walk the escalator or stand to the right! And instead of thinking what I "should" do, I thought about how each decision would make me feel, and how that feeling would impact the rest of my day and habits. The feeling of accomplishment meant I went on to wal...

Do you consider yourself a solutions-focused person? Do you know how to apply this mindset to your weight loss goals?  We tend to rely on the diet as our solution to our weight. It doesn't work and then we try another.  When I started to pair my solutions-focused mindset - which I had instilled in me from my Dad - with the thinking cycle and finally understanding how to create authentic behav...

In this episode, I break down some common problems that I see in my coaching practice when it comes to fats (how we're monitoring/ measuring them), milky hot drinks throughout the day (and how they impact our blood sugar levels), carbs (thinking we can't have them), and refined sugar (and how it *CAN* create desire for more sugar which feels overwhelming). IQ bars > Cosmic Dealer Choc...

Do you feel better for having not drunk alcohol in January? Do you want to be able to feel like you can "take it or leave it" when it comes to alcohol, and drink in a way that feels good to you? Less hangovers, more energy? Less anxiety and self-criticism, more time for other things?  Being able to drink alcohol in moderation is possible for many of us, it just takes a clear plan alongsi...

*PLEASE NOTE at minute 25 I say "I AM SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EAT"(!) and what I meant to say was: "I AM SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EAT IN BETWEEN MEALS!" Now that we've cleared that up (!) I can share what this episode is all about which maximising the joy that's available through food. Diet mentality and a fraught weight/diet history often means we aren't truly...

Using the thought model really helped me to stop emotionally eating in the way that I was. It made me feel more in control and capable of choosing a different path for myself. In this short episode, I explain how to use the thought model to differentiate between physical and emotional hunger, and how to stop using the circumstances you face (like a hard day at work) as a reason to eat. sallywebste...

The magic tool chronic dieters disregard! Before you eat, do you ask yourself how hungry you are? Are you tuned into your hunger cues? And whilst you're eating, do you assess how full you're becoming? Do you stop and ask yourself if you've had enough to fuel and nourish your body? Eating when you're not hungry, and past the point of enough (into very full territory), is a habit...
