Episode Highlights:
(06:08) It’s possible to be super focused in the morning, and you're doing great … and your nutrition is spot on, but then as the day wears on, you start thinking about problematic foods. And then by evening all bets are off. Have you ever wondered why it is that things get so dicey for us in the afternoons and evenings? We see this all the time with our patients and online students in Empowered Weight Loss.
(11:50) Willpower depletion is a psychological concept, and it refers to the idea that the ability to resist temptation and to have self-control diminishes over time. So it can also diminish if you're required to do it over and over again….think about willpower or self-control like a muscle – it can become fatigued over time, meaning you don’t have as much capacity for self control later.
(22:03) Remember, one of the things that depletes your willpower is having to make decisions. So stop forcing yourself to make decisions. Don't go check your email or your social media accounts because that's not rest, because you're having to make decisions. Get off your screens, even though that seems relaxing because you're getting a dopamine hit from it. You're also having to make decisions and incorporate new information. So that's not going to replenish your willpower.
