Outsmart Overeating

Though it has been used for decades as the go-to measurement for health based on your size, in recent years, the BMI has been widely criticized for its oversimplification of what being healthy really means.    Join co-coach, Steph Miramontes, and me as we discuss why the BMI is outdated, inaccurate, and needs to be drop kicked as a reliable tool for measuring health.   In today's episode, you'll l...

The problem with labeling foods "good" or "bad" is now they've been given life. It stops being a neutral food choice and starts having a moral implication.    In other words, as soon as a food is labeled "bad," we begin to feel bad for making the decision to eat it. And often that guilt spirals into eating MORE food to self-soothe or numb the emotional response.   Join co-coach, Steph Miramontes,...

This week on the Fat Murder Podcast, co-coachi, Eileen Trujillo is back to talk about how to create a life you love, right now. NOT 10 pounds from now, but TODAY.   In this episode we discuss why innate talent, intelligence, and external circumstances only accounts for 25% of our success while the other remaining 75% comes from just a few things.   Tune in to hear us talk about: your mindset and o...

This week, I invited co-coach, Eileen Trujillo to join me as we discuss the differences between emotional eating, binge eating, and habitual overeating.   There seems to be a lot of confusion between the three types of eaters, so in this episode we want to provide some clarity to ensure you're following the right plan of action to achieve a specific solution.   If you don't understand the problem,...

What we believe and who we believe ourselves to be will always have more impact on our ability to lose weight than food ever will.    Our core beliefs infiltrate every thought, feeling, and action we make on a daily basis -- from our values, to our religious and political beliefs, and even the way we eat. We simply follow these blind scripts without exploring who influenced us to feel this way and...

When it comes to lifelong sustainable weight loss, one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal is being present with your food. Unfortunately, with the advent of the internet and our addiction to being 'busy,' most people eat their meals like they're running the 100 yard dash, and as a result, the only rapid thing that happens, is the expansion of their waistline. Join Rog Law and me for this w...

If you're someone whose background in dieting consists of calorie counting, food scales, and meal plans, taking on a more mindful approach to eating can be scary as hell. We take comfort in the hard data. Instead of allowing our hunger and fullness cues to guide our eating, we turn our focus outward to feel safe and secure in our calorie deficit.   Join co-coach, Eileen Trujillo, and me on today's...

In this week's episode, I invited co-coach, Eileen Trujillo, back to the podcast to discuss why you may fear hunger.    If you've been dieting for a while, it's possible that you've become completely disconnected to your physical cues. In fact, it's quite common to avoid hunger altogether by preventing it through "snacks" to keep it at bay.    BUT, if you're interested in learning how to eat like...

She's BaaAAaAack! In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing my Friends With Benefits client, Dr Roma Amin...AGAIN! Dr Amin is a family physician who was kind enough to open up and share her dieting struggles as she navigated medical residency while simultaneously planning a wedding...and now, the stressors of being on the frontline battling COVID-19. Before the program, Roma, ofte...

From Keto to Weight Watchers; Whole 30 to the South Beach Diet, it seems like everyone is trying to put their own unique spin and branding on how to put food in your mouth, and Intermittent Fasting (IF) is no different.  The problem with IF, much like every other diet, is that it embeds you in the world of unsustainable dietary rules that take you away from connecting with your body and learning t...

This week I'm super excited to share another former Friends With Benefits client interview with Maddie O. Nearly one year ago, I invited Maddie to be a guest on the podcast to share her experience in the program. Now, she's back with an update on how she's been doing without the structure and accountability of working with coaches. Prior to joining FWB, Maddie struggled with emotional eating for m...

Every year, millions of dieters -- maybe even you -- set their eyes on a weight loss goal for the new year. Generally, the SAME weight loss goal they've had for the previous decade on January 1st.   This year, I'm encouraging you to try something different; something that actually works.   Screw what the 90% of unsuccessful dieters are doing, and learn what the successful 5% are doing instead.   I...

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing former Friends With Benefits client, Miriam Blyth. Nearly one year ago, I invited Miriam to share her experience in the program. This time, she's back with an update on how she's been doing without the structure and accountability.   Prior to joining FWB, Miriam struggled with losing weight for 20 years. In the previous episode she shares the tra...

If you're avoiding the work that goes into improving your body image, because you think it will take care of itself once the weight is gone, think again.    Body image is an inside job, and external work isn't the answer.    Join me, and Steph Miramontes of Soul Centered Fitness as we break down all the nuances that make this work some of the most valuable you'll ever do.   In this podcast we talk...

Is there anything more frustrating than knowing EXACTLY HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT, but not be able to do it? You've read the books, you've listened to the podcasts, you've purchased the gym membership, and you've bought the program, but yet you STILL can't do it. WHY does this happen? It's maddening!   For starters, it has nothing to do with information. In today's podcast episode, Rog Law, and I discuss...

Last week my co-coach, Eileen Trujillo, joined me as we talked about the pitfalls of people pleasing and this week she's back again to discuss how to enjoy your favorite restaurant foods without packing on the pounds. Eileen and I recently spend the weekend in Dallas, Texas attending a business retreat with our two other co-coaches, Steph Miramontes and Stephanie Curry. Together, we had an opportu...

People pleasers are not just nice people who go above and beyond trying to make everyone happy. Those who suffer from the "Disease to Please" are people who say "Yes" when they really want to say "No" and as a result, lose sight of what they authentically want. Join co-coach, Eileen Trujillo, and me as we discuss how the worthiness of a people pleaser hinges on the approval of others which often c...

If you're anything like me, you grew up in a home where you were encouraged to "clean your plate." We rarely question the beliefs or habits that are passed down to us as children, and as a result, we repeat these same patterns as adults, blindly accepting them as gospel truth without ever questioning their validity. Join Rog Law and me as we help you rewrite your guilt-ridden stories about "wastin...

When it comes to losing fat, dieters are bombarded with so much information that it can completely cripple them. On top of having to manage the constant flow of conflicting information, you're also faced with the daily demands of life that quickly drain your willpower, leaving them stuck in a perpetual rut. Join Rog Law and me as we arm you with the tools to better understand how your willpower wo...

When it comes to being "naturally thin," most people think that it comes down to a roll of the genetic dice, and if you're unlucky enough to roll the wrong set of genes, you're screwed. The reality is that while genetics certainly play a role in your body composition, they're not the primary driver when it comes to managing your weight. Join Rog Law and me for today's episode as we tackle the 11 e...

The unfortunate truth about dieting is that once you start, you'll never stop.   It's almost as if once you decide to go on one, you're signing a contract to be unhappy and dissatisfied with yourself until the number on the scale says the magic number that will unlock your worthiness. Then, you're suddenly allowed to live your life. Unfortunately, that isn't how this works. Join Rog Law and me on...

With Halloween upon us, the Sugar Express is rolling full steam ahead! This is the time of year when cravings reach critical mass, new diabolical scientific concoctions hit the streets, and candy bowls across the land always seem to be filled to the brim. Unfortunately, this holiday also brings about unnecessary stress, self-judgement and uncontrolled eating - truly scary stuff!   Join Rog Law and...

For most people, the journey of weight loss is marred by fear - the fear of giving up foods you love, the fear of not being able to lose the weight, and the fear of not being able to maintain the results when you are successful. Sadly, most of these fears end up being a self-fulfilling prophecy because what you fear, you invite into your life. Thankfully, there's a better way. Join Rog Law and me...

If you're you've ever said: "I'll start tomorrow." "I need to eat all of this now because tomorrow it's back to the diet!" "I'll get back on track on Monday." This tells me you're someone who struggles with the "all-or-nothing" mindset. Unfortunately, when you have this thought pattern, it makes consistency nearly impossible to achieve. And consistency is essential for success. This week I've invi...

In last week's episode, I interviewed a Friends With Benefits client, Danielle Scheid, on how she was able to transition from a food-obsessed chronic dieter to someone who feels completely in control in any dining scenario while effortlessly maintaining her weight through the power of habit.  In this week's episode, I interviewed another client, Stephanie Curry, on her unique experience in my coac...
