PLANTSTRONG Podcast Ep. 146: Julieanna Hever - Lose Weight for the Last Time
We are living in chaotic and challenging times and so much feels out of our control.
This week’s interview also comes at a perfect time because, in the midst of stress and uncertainty, Julieanna Hever invites you to choose yourself again and again, especially if you’re stuck in the cycle of stress eating, yo-yo dieting, and dizzying life schedules.
As the O.G. plant-based dietitian, Julieanna has worked with thousands of clients to lose weight for the last time, and many of these lessons are found in her most recent book, The Choose You Now Diet.
Rip and Julieanna discuss:
-
Her ten tenets to sustainable weight loss
-
Exactly how to calculate your goal weight and set a realistic timeframe for weight loss
-
How to stop counting macros and calories, and start counting "days of deliciousness"
-
Her "six daily threes" of must-have daily nutrition
-
Why it's important to keep a journal and express gratitude
Julieanna encourages you to be free of shame and guilt and, instead, replace it with joy and gratitude all while enjoying copious amounts of beautiful plant-based nutrition.
We could all use a little more joy.
