Today, I explore the pros and cons of calorie counting and intuitive eating. Everything you've learned in your years of dieting isn't trash.

Something that's actually doable and doesn't bring...

As a professional dieter, you've probably read a lot about compulsive overeating and the uncontrollable urges that drive food obsession. So much so, that you may even feel like you're addicted to food.   And chances are, what you're experiencing feels like what you're battling is far beyond willpower and personal discipline.   But here's the thing. If this was a true deficit in your character, you...

Slow and steady wins the race, but dieters crave fast, fierce, and furious for their weight loss programs.   Instant gratification dominates the mindsets of most dieters. They want quick solutions and quicker results.   Consider what causes you to pursue a long-term project - like writing a book, building a relationship, learning an instrument, etc.   With long-term projects, sooner or later, we n...

In this week's episode of the Outsmart Overeating Podcast , I respond to a client's email who is beginning to recognize that she had inherited outdated, unhelpful beliefs that caused her to self-sabotage.   Due to her family history, she internalized a negative narrative about the women in her family being doomed to be fat, especially after having children and ageing. This belief was so deeply roo...

If you're you've ever said:   "I don't know when I'll get to eat this again."   "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...
