#319: mike doehla- a nutrition strategy for fat loss & living lean, healthy and strong that just makes sense

Nutrition can be so simple

Calorie deficit

Do these things

But like you said strategist

In a world where we went from bro chicken broccoli stick tracking

To then intuitive, positivity, HAES and the total other side with you don't need to obsess over xyz to even sometimes calling tracing disordered. What do you have to say about that

Because my opinion is there is nothing more consuming and obsessive than hating where you are so much feeling so restricted byet not seeing results or cutting out certain foods etcetc thinking thats the thing kjeeping you “”” fat”””

------> what do you notice when you are being a detective when people say their metabolism is slow and deficit doesnt work

Or theyve been trying to lose weight for years

How do you approach that

----

Unsustainable

Living diet hell

People are willing to yoyo for 50 years of their life… but cant give patience for a couple of years moving in the right direction

Many women can diet on alot more calories than they think…

And maintain on even more

But the issue is most people are eating way more than they think or say or “”” track”””

Weekends

Bottle necks

Why planning is important vs winging it

Anticipate things

The level of tradeoffs we also need to balance

Which i would say as a parent, if there is alot more value in family, then its even more important you nail the details of fatloss phases and do it accurately so you can get out of the phase asap and start living at maintenance

As we get older… after kids… we tend to find our “metabolism slows” and things don't “work the same”

But is that REALLLY the case… maybe you can nix that myth and explain the real truth to this, especially as a parent yourself now

The biggest struggles people come up against with nutrition

Buffet effect

80/20

i also like thinking of it like training

Aiming for 80 20 is why many struggle... its a TARGET vs a byproduct of life coming up etc

It's aiming to be as 'on point' as you can bc life accounts for 20% without you planning for it

like date nights, events, a busy day... etc

Building structure and routine & why its important

“I eat pretty healthy but the scale isn’t moving!”

Food tracking: tedious chore that makes you obsess about food? Or total game changer if you want to lose weight without feeling like you’re on a diet?

Aligning your identity

What progress means to you & your relationship with the journey

****

Yes thats the identity shift

When you think about what makes you feel good so you can show up and perform at your best everything also changes

Performance goals

More people have DE out there than you realise and BID

**** felt fluffy

Relationship with your body and food

Going back to the yoyo

Where a coach comes in, how a coach is quintessential in the game of not jsut weightloss but BEFORE and AFTER weightloss - where weightloss is NOT the main event because you want to learn how to keep results

Coaches don't sell weightloss, they sell a better life - how to get clients to see it more

Eating out

Alcohol

Sometimes you need to get strict and hard on yourself to get your foot in the game and then ease into more easy and flexibility - which is where a coach comes in because this can be hard

People don't know they need a coach, they see people talking about it. Might think its only elite things idk

Someone whos done crash diets and seen fast results before getting trapped and stuck thinking nothing will work like that - they compare everything to that experience

Other things that hold us back that fuck us up more bc social media spins it saying you can have your cake and eat it too… which isnt the case for most people starting out

But doesnt meant restriction just knowing what the journey takes

How you can adapt your level of eating to a new normal which may mean more sacrifices at first

How the mirror can be just as fatal as the scales as its still reflecting your inner self
