Outsmart Overeating

In today's episode of the Fat Murder Podcast with Coach Steph Miramontes , we discussed the primary reasons WHY you may be able to nail your eating behaviors all day long, but as soon as the day progresses, the wheels fall off and you find yourself eating anything that doesn't eat you first.   Have you noticed yourself snacking more during the evening hours? What foods do you find yourself gravita...

The "naturally thin" behave in mysterious ways. We all know those people who have that magical superpower where they can just have a bite or two of a cookie, put it down, and never think about it again.   WHAT PLANET DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM!?     The truth is, these people aren't born special with a special superpower nor do they have more willpower or a faster metabolism than you. The differenc...

When it smiles in our favor, we're walking on cloud 9 and nothing can bring us down. When it shows us a number other than the one we want, it can send us into a mental and physical tailspin. The scale is a neutral device made of plastic and metal...until we attach meaning and our worth to it. When we take a closer look at the amount of power we give it in our lives, neutral is the furthest thing f...

On this episode of the Fat Murder Podcast , Coach Steph Miramontes and I talk about one of the most misunderstood and demonized aspects of fat loss: HUNGER! Topics discussed: Why hunger is NOT your enemy, but a long-lost friend you want in your life. What the difference between real hunger & fake hunger is, and how not knowing how to tell the two apart could cost you dearly. How eating according t...

In this episode, we hosted Part 2 of our 'Ask Us Anything.' This is where listeners were encouraged to write in with their questions so Coach Steph Miramontes could answer them on the air.   Topics discussed: Have we ever used drugs? How is snacking not restrictive? What's we've learned about one another that's been surprising? How do you handle people talking about diets incessantly? How long did...

In this episode, we hosted an 'Ask Me Anything,' where listeners were encouraged to write in with their questions so Coach Steph Miramontes could answer them on the air.   Topics discussed: Have we ever used drugs? How is snacking not restrictive? What's we've learned about one another that's been surprising? How do you handle people talking about diets incessantly? How long did it take for you to...

WELP!   It's finally here. The moment we've all been waiting for…   Okay, maybe it's not the moment YOU'VE been waiting for, but it's definitely the moment I've been waiting for!   Today, I'm making good on a promise.    I often talk about how I'm not interested in helping clients lose weight for a wedding, a vacation, or a reunion. Nope! I only created my psychology-based weight loss program, Uns...

The right mentorship for you has a lot to do with the current level of your experience with hunger directed eating as a weight loss method. Beginners, intermediates, and advanced individuals have different education levels, skills and priorities. The mentor you choose to guide you and help you should match that.    The first rule: you want to be working with someone who has done the same thing you...

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 95% of unsuccessful dieters are doing, and learn what the successful 5% are doing instead.   In...

Along the road of getting anywhere that we want to go, those fun and silly things we call "emotions" will jump into the street out of nowhere. One of the most notorious offenders (imagine it standing in front of a lineup holding some prison numbers if that makes your mind giggle) is guilt, and it can cause a wreck before you make any significant progress.   Join Steph Miramontes and I as we talk a...

If 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. Logically, you know you shoul...

A couple weeks ago, I flew to San Antonio to meet with Coach Steph Miramontes for some projects we're working on. While there, she and her wonderful husband, Nefi, took me out to a fabulous 12-course dinner. And let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! In the past, this is exactly the type of dining situation that would have paralyzed me. I would have felt anxious about not being able to...

This week marks the beginning of several weeks of holidays. That means parties, family gatherings, and lots of food. Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for what we have, who we are connected to in our lives. But too often, for most, it's all about the food. The turkey. The stuffing. The pies. The side dishes. Need I go on? You don't have to go to your holiday meals carrying a small Tupperwar...

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 us as we explain how to turn your fear of failure into a super power that unlocks achievement in areas of your life where you typically self-sabotage. Topics discussed: The myth of perfection and...

Most often people get confused about what boundaries are and what they are not. In this episode, I invited co-coach, Laura Kalirai , to help set the record straight by looking at the differences between this amazing tool for creating intimacy and simply setting expectations for other people.

On this week's episode of the Fat Murder Podcast , co-coach, Laura Kalirai , joins me as we discuss how to lose weight through Hunger Directed Eating. As I tell my clients, these are not rules. Your diet brain is going to turn them into rules since that's what you're used to, but this is how you take care of yourself in a loving way. They are "If love could speak to you about food" guidelines. The...

We all know change is hard, but is there something we can do to make it easier? Approximately 70-80% of all human behavior executed in a day is done through the power of habit — from how many times we hit the snooze button in the morning til what route we take home from work. So when we want to change a behavior in our lives, suddenly it takes intentional effort and may require us to go in a compl...

Body image is one of the most challenging areas of work I've experienced both personally and professionally. And it makes sense. We live in a culture that values thinness, so it's only natural to desire and work towards being "better," fitter, and a "toned up" version of yourself. This is what society deems as a representative of beauty. Since our earliest days, we have been taught to feel shame a...

Consider what "triggers" you to eat more than your body needs. It all starts with our thoughts. And our thoughts lead us to a feeling — for better or worse. And these feelings are what drive our actions. Our actions produce our outcomes. When we take action, we get a result. And when that action is overeating, the result is excess body fat. This is basic Cognitive Behavioral Psychology and it's wh...
