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_outlineThis musing reflects on some recent Phase 4 workshops we have hosted at our clinic. The workshop is an exploration into the world of phase 4 and all that it entails. Wellness is more than just what you are eating. And as clients start to look at their life in phase 4 and their deep ties to food there is always a great conversation that ensues. If there is no answer then what? What do I do about over eating? What do I do when I have no time to eat well? What do I do when I don’t have the energy to tell someone I don’t want to eat “that” and how do I find a balance for myself of pleasure and making choices that serve me. 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.
I mention in the podcast that a must watch video is the Lynn Roos success story from Ideal Protein. She’s a rockstar that everyone can relate to. Click here to see her story and video.
