Struggle with how your body used to look?
The "Cake Doesn't Count" Podcast
I got a really good question via email last week that I wanted to answer on the podcast! Here is what she wrote: I found your podcast a few months ago and love it. I’m writing for two reasons. The first, lately I have been struggling with how I used to look and how I look now. I’m in a bigger body than I had been three years ago and am in the biggest body to date. I struggle to accept this new body while I move around in the world. There seems to be a direct link hardwired in my brain. Bigger body-> not good enough-> you won’t find a partner -> I won’t get to...

Holistic Weight Loss: What It Is and How It Works
The "Cake Doesn't Count" Podcast
Written by , Holistic Nutritionist, Board Certified Health Coach, NBC-HWC Is Holistic Weight Loss for You? One of the reasons we end up getting stuck in the dieting cycle is because we want to lose weight. We don’t like our body size, we desperately want to control our food, or we have to lose weight for health reasons and we do what we’ve always done– try to achieve the goal through a diet. But the paradox is that the more we try to lose weight and control our food, the more it eludes us. Enter holistic weight loss! Table of Contents Prefer to...

Can't Stop Eating When Something is Tasty? Try These 5 Steps!
The "Cake Doesn't Count" Podcast
I received a fantastic question from a blog reader and podcast listener last week: I feel like I am having a hard time stopping when I’m full when I really like the taste of something, and I feel really disappointed when I realize I AM full. How do I stop eating when something is tasty? This is such a great question so I thought I'd answer it on today's podcast! Do you have a question you'd like answered on the podcast or the blog?
info_outlineWhen we swear off signing up for any program that promises weight loss (aka not dieting and eating normally), we try to banish the weight loss topic from our minds. But if you're not dieting, how do you lose weight?
That question often looms in the back of our minds, like a secret desire refusing to be extinguished.
We don't want to obsess over weight loss (because we know our old way of dieting/cutting out/following a specific plan doesn't work long term)...
...but we also have a secret (or not so secret) desire to be a comfortable weight.
So what gives?
Is it possible to have the weight loss conversation alongside the "trying to not diet" one?
Yes, indeed, it is.
Weight comes up in almost every 1:1 conversation I have with clients.
Why?
Because we typically diet in order to control our weight.
Whether it's for health reasons, for comfort reasons, or for body image reasons, size is never far from our minds when we're dieting.
At some point on the journey, though, we realize dieting isn't sustainable so we work to "listen to our bodies".
And then the desire for weight loss gets squashed, because we don't know how to hold it in tandem with the "trying to eat normally".
Well if you struggle with this one, you're in luck!
Today's episode explores the "if you're not dieting, how do you lose weight" conundrum:
