  • In this episode, I’m sharing how my client was able to FINALLY find peace with both food and her body after struggling with dieting, food obsession, forcing herself to exercise, and hating her body for over a decade.

    I’m walking you through the exact steps we took, and the strategies I taught her that allowed her to heal her relationship with food, her body and exercise.

    If you are struggling with any of these things, then this episode is a *must* listen!

    Key Takeaways

    1. Dismantling the diet mentality and letting go of dieting behaviors: You’ve got to understand how the diet mentality shows up in your thoughts in order to move away from dieting behaviors (which are often still present even if you’re not “officially” on a diet).

    2. Changing the way you eat requires changing the way you think about food: It’s one thing to let yourself eat the foods you consider “unhealthy” - it’s another thing to change how you view these foods and how you feel about yourself for eating them. This is essential for lasting peace with food.

    3. Weight and health are not the same thing: You can improve your health without obsessing about weight loss. True health is so much more than this, and by letting go of your weight obsession it opens the door to you addressing your health in ways that are effective.

  • You’ve probably tried to lose weight before in order to feel healthier or more confident. Heck, you’ve maybe even experienced increased confidence and better health as a result of weight loss in the past
But was it sustainable?

    We don’t want to build your confidence on a house of cards that crumbles the minute you fall off the bandwagon or gain weight.

    You deserve to have more stable confidence than this. And it ain’t going to come from chasing the number on the scale.

    In this episode, I’m going to share what you need to focus on instead of weight loss if you want to feel better about your body.

    Key Takeaways

    1. What we have been taught “looks good” is based on diet culture’s narrow definition of health, beauty and attractiveness.

    2. The problem(s) with attaching your confidence to weight loss: It hinges upon doing something nearly impossible.

    3. 2 key strategies to improve your confidence: HOW you can choose to start thinking differently about your weight, your body, your health

  • In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain to share with you what the conversation sounds like with my clients if they’re slipping back into old habits.

    I want to normalize that this happens, and it doesn’t mean you’re failing, that intuitive eating doesn’t work, or that there’s something wrong with you.

    Rather than going into a shame spiral that makes you just want to throw in the towel, it’s important to be curious when you’re slipping back into old habits, and to explore what is happening to better understand it so that you can gain clarity on how to move forward.

    I’m going to walk you through exactly how I do that with my clients. This is an important episode for anyone to hear, because we all slip back into old habits that we’ve been trying to change. This happens to everyone, whether it be with food, or exercise, or going to bed on time, or maybe you’re trying to show up differently in your relationships or at work.

    Bottom line, behavior change is hard, and this conversation is going to help you see how to get through some of the ups and downs so you don’t give up on yourself or your process towards finding peace with food.

    Key Takeaways

    1. A roadmap to making peace with food: My 5 phases to becoming a non-dieter (and what a “non-dieter” actually is)

    2. What I say to clients when they’ve slipped into old habits: How I melt the shame, the questions I ask them, and next steps to move forward

    3. 2 Case Examples: Clients who struggled with falling back into old habits, and how they worked through this

  • I know, I know, it’s so tempting to try and lose weight before vacations. In fact, it almost feels like you’re supposed to lose weight before a trip.

    I’m here to have a big sis heart-to-heart with you today to let you know that cutting out carbs and restricting your food isn’t going to make you happier on vacation. It’s going to make you miserable.

    In this episode, we’re going to talk about how to handle those urges to get back on the dieting bandwagon before a trip or special event such as a party or wedding, and I’m going to show you what to do instead when it comes to your strategy with eating.

    You’ll learn how to incorporate satisfying food, without cutting out your favorite sweets or desserts, and how to do this without going overboard. I’m going to show you the utility of flexible structure with food and menu planning (minus the diet mentality).

    We’re also going to dig into some strategies with body image so that you can wear the swimsuit, show your bare arms in that dress you bought, and be in the photos - no more avoiding these things!

    Key Takeaways

    Don’t be dieting and restricting to lose weight before a vacation or event. This will backfire on you. Plan satisfying meals and snacks to help you stay in the headspace of eating intuitively and providing yourself with food you enjoy (rather than restricting). (Don’t forget to grab the templates for this at nondietacademy.com/menuplan) Wear the darn swimsuit. Desensitize yourself to it by DOING IT. Wear it at home to practice if you need to. Find a style you like. Work through your fears of judgment about your body from people who you haven’t seen in a while. Even if they judge you, it’s going to be ok. You don’t have to spend your life dieting and obsessing about food to win their approval. Be in the photos. Capture the memories. Don’t scrutinize yourself.

  • Ice cream is hands down my favorite food of all time. I often eat it as my snack in the evening before bed (and yes, sometimes I literally eat it in bed).

    However, if you find yourself binging on ice cream (or any other food) at night, and if it is basically the only thing you have to look forward to in your life, then (I say this lovingly, because I care about you), we need to have a chit chat - which is what we’re doing in this episode.

    If food is the only thing that brings you joy, and if binging every night is your pattern at the end of the day, and you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, ashamed, and worried that things will never get better - I’ve got you covered. We’re going to talk about how to break out of this cycle, so that you can still enjoy food AND your life outside of food, without food having more importance than it should.

    Key Takeaways

    If food is the only thing in your life you look forward to, that’s telling us something really important What your Total Conscious Time (TCT) has to do with your eating How to decrease food obsession by first making sure you’re eating enough The areas of your life to audit to see what’s lacking and what areas need attention outside of food

    Decreasing the space that food is taking up will allow you to let LIFE in, which might be really fun and exciting, and it might be really hard and challenging. No matter your experience, I’m here to support you through it. Let’s dig in!

  • Do you have old clothes in your closet that no longer fit, but you’re hoping that you’ll lose some weight and be able to wear them again?

    Have you ever bought something in a smaller size that you currently wear to use it as “motivation” to lose weight? Perhaps a smaller bathing suit for an upcoming vacation, or you ordered your wedding dress a size smaller than you are now?

    Well, I hate to tell ya, but purchasing and holding onto clothes that are too small isn’t a magic potion for weight loss. (In fact, it’s a recipe for failure - and I don’t use that word lightly.)

    In this episode we’re not just digging into your closet - we’re digging into your BELIEFS about your body. Grab your pen and paper, and maybe a sparkling water, and let’s unpack your clothes AND your body image.

    Episode Highlights

    -Examining your thoughts, feelings and core beliefs about your body. (Don’t forget to grab the Body Image Journal Prompts to help you with this.)

  • What to say if your child ever says, “I feel fat,” or if they are called fat by kids at school or someone in their life.

    Learn the do’s and don’ts of navigating these tricky conversations, whether you have small kids at home, teenagers, or even adult children.

    Erin Kerns Vazquez is my guest today, and she is going to walk us through how she went from dieting since the age of 10, to wholeheartedly embracing body acceptance and intuitive eating.

    Erin was bullied about her weight as a kid, and she wrote a children’s book about what messages she looks back and recognizes she needed to hear at a young age about her body. She describes the well-intentioned ways that adults in her life tried to help her “get healthier” (i.e. lose weight) to feel better about herself and to silence the bullies, and how these attempts at helping missed the mark.

    It’s a powerful conversation about healing your own body image, unpacking the messages you received about your body (and bodies in general) during childhood, the way that diet culture has reinforced these messages, and what you can do to foster a healthy body image for yourself and the children in your life.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Beliefs about our bodies start young: The way we see our parents talking about their own bodies impacts how we feel about our own bodies, even now as adults.

    2. A “healthy body image” doesn’t necessarily mean body positivity: Rather, it means that you have peace and neutrality with your body (even on the days you might wish it were different).

    3. What to say (and NOT say) to your kids if they say, “I feel fat”: Be clear and confident for how you navigate these tricky conversations with your kids, as you support them in navigating body image in a weight-obsessed world.

  • Get unstuck if you’re feeling lost or confused with intuitive eating!

    Given that intuitive eating is an approach towards food that’s much different from dieting because it doesn’t include rules to follow, it’s easy to feel like you’re floundering like a fish out of water, or that you don’t know what you do.

    Rather than winging it with food, I am going to show you how to regroup and refocus your energy on the things that are going to help you master the skills of intuitive eating like a seasoned pro.

    To do so, we are going to use Principle 6 of intuitive eating, “Discover the Satisfaction Factor,” as our North Star to help all of the other Principles fall into place.

    I’m also going to show you how having structure with food is going to HELP you eat more intuitively (and yes, this might sound counter-intuitive, but hear me out). I’ll be teaching you how to approach eating intentionally each day, so that your body gets what it needs, and it doesn’t become a free-for-all with food.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Satisfaction as the “hub” of intuitive eating: Why you should focus on this if you’re feeling lost or stuck

    2. Importance of having a consistent eating schedule: This is going to help you tune into your hunger/fullness, and it’s going to help your body know what to expect

    3. The 3 questions to ask yourself before you eat: This is going to help you honor your cravings AND your nutritional needs

    Episode Highlights

    Focusing on Principle 6 of Intuitive Eating, “Discover the Satisfaction Factor” will help you implement all of the other principles with more clarity Just because you feel stuck or worried that intuitive eating won’t work for you doesn’t mean you should give up. Join my upcoming masterclass on how to troubleshoot why intuitive eating isn’t working for you, and how to get unstuck

  • What I would tell you in the very beginning so that you can implement intuitive eating the right way, without getting lost, stuck or way off base! This episode goes hand-in-hand with the next episode, #140: How to Refocus If You Feel Lost or Stuck With Intuitive Eating. You can think of these episodes like sisters or besties, so make sure you listen to that one next!

    Looking back, I wish someone would have told me a few things when I was first getting into intuitive eating and healing my own relationship with food. Even as a dietitian, there were things I didn’t know and things I didn’t realize in the very beginning.

    In this episode, we’ll dig into Principle 3 of intuitive eating, which is called “Make Peace With Food,” you’re going to see that having peace with food doesn’t just mean eating whatever the heck you want, whenever you want it.

    If you’ve been trying to figure out how you can ditch dieting, embrace intuitive eating, and make peace with food, today’s episode is exactly what you need to hear! I’m going to share the mindset shift that completely changed how I approach my eating, and it is something that has given tons of my clients their own “ah-ha” moments as well.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Neutralizing your judgments about food: You can’t truly have peace with food if you’re still labeling it as good/bad or healthy/unhealthy

    2. Intuitive eating vs impulsive eating: Eating “whatever you want, whenever you want” isn’t going to get you where you want to be.

    3. Peace with food means saying yes AND no to food: It’s equally as important to let yourself eat what you desire, as well as being able to say no to food when you’re not hungry or it doesn’t meet your body’s needs.

    Episode Highlights

    A deep dive into why Principle 3 of Intuitive Eating, “Make Peace With Food” is such a game changer. Saying “no” to food without it feeling restrictive Make sure you go listen to Episode 140 which pairs with this episode!

  • This episode is part of the MACRONUTRIENT SERIES which contains episodes about carbohydrates, protein and fat. Make sure you’re subscribed so that you automatically get all of the episodes, and go back and listen to the protein episode after you’re done with this one. IIt’s linked below.

    Today we are talking about carbohydrates, aka “carbs.” Carbs are so scary these days that you could dress up as bread for Halloween and send chills down people’s spines (maybe a slight exaggeration). Diet culture has us thinking that we’re going to gain a ton of weight and instantly get diabetes if we have carbs, but that’s not how it works.

    We’re going to break down the science behind carbs, how to figure out what amount of carbs is right for YOUR body’s individual needs, and how to use the skills of intuitive eating to figure this out
no tracking or measuring required!

    Key Takeaways

    1. What even are carbs?

    2. What happens when you don’t eat enough carbs

    3. What happens when you eat too many carbs

    4. How many carbs do you need per day?

  • Is it hard for you to “waste” food? Meaning, is it hard to leave the last few bites of food behind on your plate? Do you find yourself continuing to clean your plate, even though you’re working on honoring your fullness and eating intuitively? If, so you’re in the right place!

    Key Takeaways:

    The fear of wasting food and money is a common reason that people struggle with the fullness aspect of intuitive eating Letting go of OLD beliefs (e.g. “The starving children in Africa”) that are getting in your way Calling in NEW beliefs that are going to empower you to get comfortable with food waste, listen to your body, and break through to the next level on your intuitive eating journey

  • It’s summertime and that means pool parties, BBQ’s, vacations, family reunions, and all sorts of other things that can make body image extra challenging. In this episode, I’m digging into some do’s and don’ts that are going to help you work through these body image challenges with clarity and confidence, so you can lather up with SPF and your flip flops and go enjoy all that summer has to offer.

    1. Body image challenges: Things like chafing, wearing shorts, and being sweaty can be extra hard in the summer. We’re going to talk openly about it!

    2. Live life fully: Instead of avoiding events, hiding in the back of photos, or wearing pants when it’s a million degrees outside - let’s lean into experiencing joy in your body as it is right now.

    3. Dieting doesn’t solve anything: As tempting as it might be to go on a diet to slim down for summer events, it’s not going to help you.

  • If you’ve been approaching intuitive eating as “just let yourself eat,” there’s a good chance this isn’t working very well for you. The sentiment behind “just let yourself eat” is beautiful, but the reality is that you’re probably all over the place with food.

    Dieting teaches us to trick or ignore our hunger signals. How many times have you been told, “Drink a glass of water before you eat.” Or, “If you’re really hungry you’d eat an apple.” The underlying message is that you can’t trust your body. So to reject this message and to listen to your body can be trickier than “just letting yourself eat.”

    Key Takeaways In This Episode:

    “Just letting yourself eat” often turns into IMPULSIVE eating, not INTUITIVE eating. There’s a big difference. Creating some semi-structure with your eating schedule will actually help you become more dialed into your hunger and fullness signals. Learn my simple 5-step framework for how to reconnect with your hunger and fullness so you know exactly what to do in the moment to listen to your body (rather than winging it with food).

    Whether you’re a newbie to the intuitive eating world (welcome!), or if you’ve been doing it for a while, you’re going to get value out of the strategies in this episode to help you know what to do before you eat, while you’re eating and after you eat - so that you can become a seasoned pro at listening to your body with food.

  • You know that moment where you’re eating and you notice that you feel full, but the food is so delicious that you want to keep eating? (Yep, me too!) In today’s episode I’m going to be sharing my 4-part framework for what to do in those instances, so that you can confidently choose whether to stop or keep eating - without guilt either way.

    When it comes to intuitive eating, honoring your fullness is an important part of it. AND it’s also essential that you are giving yourself unconditional permission to eat (and keep eating) when you choose to do so, even if that means you’re going to be overly full.

    There’s no right/wrong answer in these instances. I’m going to break down the 4 steps for you to take that will help you decide whether or not you want to keep eating, and what to do next after you’re done.

    We’re also going to talk about a couple of key mindset shifts that are going to make it easy peasy for you to stop eating at comfortable fullness, so you don’t keep having this internal battle over whether to keep eating vs stop when you’re full.

    Today’s Wellness Woo is Lumen.

  • So you’ve ditched dieting, and you started doing intuitive eating, and you find yourself eating random foods at random times of the day. You're not necessarily out of control with food, but you’re definitely all over the place.

    You wonder if you’re going to subsist on Doritos and ice cream for the rest of your life - and how can this possibly be “intuitive” (or healthy)?

    In these moments it’s easy to feel like, “Intuitive eating might work for other people, but it clearly doesn’t work for me.” Your trust in yourself, your body, and in intuitive eating begins to dwindle.

    Here’s what I want you to know: The social media version of intuitive eating and “food freedom” looks very different from the reality of what the process of healing your relationship with food truly looks like.

    It’s not all burgers, donuts and lattes. (Yes, those foods are obviously fine - but it’s not the fully picture of intuitive eating.)

    In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on some of the stuff that’s not talked openly about online when it comes to intuitive eating
the unsexy stuff that people don’t want to hear.

    I’m going to tell you the truth, AND I’m going to show you how to keep moving forward.

    Hit play and let’s dig in!
