Ep. 19 - Male perspective on the emotional side of weight loss
mibo musings
I was really blown away by Drew Manning’s message and his way of expressing it. September is a time where many clients are doing a reset post summer and it’s a fresh start for many. Having a solid foundation for long term success is the key. The foundation includes your mind and your food. Having a plan and tools for improving your mindset is so important. If you have found maintenance a challenge then it’s truly time to look beyond phase 1 and explore other tools.

Brian on being sick and tired of being sick and tired - Episode 16
mibo musings
He rolled into Phase 4 with ease and kept working this phase as much as he did Phase 1. Carving out time to meal plan, exercise and keep his mind and thoughts focused on his goal. He knew the old habits are there and that it was key that he stay active to keep that alive and energized feeling. “Just go for a walk, go around the block, don’t give in. You will feel better soon if you get outside.”.

Phase 4 workshop aha moments - Episode 15
mibo musings
Sometimes phase 4 can feel like a battlefield, I want this but I shouldn’t eat it, why can’t I eat what I want and not gain, why do I crave things that are not good for me and on and on and on. But we have found that over time, not over night, a new balance arises for each person that engages in finding solutions that work for them.

A Chat with Coach Sherri Kiley from Chicago Episode 14
mibo musings
Sherri has some great things to say. I have pages of quotes from her like "the crux of what we do is maintenance, I start talking habits and maintenance on day 1", or "yes it's about using Ideal Protein as a tool not a crutch". Of course, like I always say there are no answers but there are ideas and suggestions that may resonate true for you and help you build your strong foundation of health and vitality.

Moyra, client age 57, on being loving - Episode 12
mibo musings
You want to listen to this just because Moyra’s voice is so soothing and peaceful. She shares about her weight loss journey, the ups and downs (no pun intended), and finding peace with herself, her weight, and staying true to what feels right for her. This was technically a phase 4 check in but we both knew it was also going to be a podcast so it’s not quite a phase 4 check in but it is. Phase 4 is an exploration, it often involves a deeper look at yourself and what truly makes you happy. We discuss discipline, yoga, being loving to yourself, carbs, the scale and much more. I truly believe...

Glow Chocolate Non Addictive Delights Episode 10
mibo musings
Julie Beyer, owner and creator of Glow Chocolates, shares with us about what goes into the making of a healthy treat. One that tastes great and satiates and satisfies your taste buds. One that does not leave you feeling out of control and wanting to eat more and more and more.
info_outlineIt’s a short musing today but super relevant. We have many dieters that ask this. I totally understand the question. There you are feeling awesome on Phase 1, you are keen to move into phases 2, 3 and 4 and are feeling confident you will exercise and eat well forever and you are thinking you could (or should be able to) shed the last ten pounds on phase 4. We just never see that happen. Phase 4 is balanced eating and is not designed for weight loss. If you’ve not lost weight before from exercise and changes to your eating then it’s unlikely to work now. Phase 1 works like a charm, leverage it, reach your goal and then transition. Tune in for a short musing on this topic. I don’t usually have advice or strong opinions on what others should do but in this case I do. But experience is the best and for some you just have to try it and see what happens. I get it, I’m like that too :) But maybe this podcast will help you see things from another point of view. The whole point is to reach your goal, enjoy the journey and feel awesome. Have fun!
