#271/ Do you want weight loss OR do you want a radical physique change? Body image, comparisons & realities/ Jess Dalglish
instagram.com/jessdalglishcoaching/
instagram.com/transformxruby
Comparing themselves to people to those who are muscular but don’t know how to get there
Comparisons but seeing themselves in a different lens than reality
People aren’t willing to commit to a longer process
Coaches facilitate this process
We can be more productive in the process
What is comparing to others bringing you
Whats the purpose behind it
Despite everything im doing, I still don’t look like that
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lot of people are still doing thing that don’t serve them in the same breath of comparing which holds them back and it can be the lack of commitment
They don’t know what the process looks like
They don’t know what commitment actually looks like
People only see coaches or programs, journeys.. as for fatloss or
Ø What happens when you go onholidays and vacation. Just factory reset do it all again always feeling like youre bnever there
If youre going to work with someone and actually commit
But heres the question
If you aren’t
Then wtf do you want out of this? You don’t really want results then do you?
Because you need
But heres
BODY IMAGE DAYS
You cant remove bad body image days
Digestion is a normal thing we can get emotional about it
Body image across a whole week - body comp wont change a lot over a while week
Comparison on social media
CLOTHES
People also just see all these people prepping and think it’s the next step after deciding to lose weight
Lets go back to the idea that - I just want to lose weight first then ill gain muscle
I just want to lose this fat first then we can build my food up
Then we can get stronger
Then we can worry about the rest
I need to do this photoshoot I need to start a cut
People just want to put themselves into photoshoots all the time as well its the new cool thing to do
But person has only just started on a process of not chasing smaller
Where does this idea of your body image come from as well
Trust themselves
Be patient with yourself
Easy? Hard? What the process itself looks like?
The cost of certain goals
Willing to give up and not
How to sustain certain things.. Is it realistic to sustain it?
5050 –
Confidence is in showing up for yourself

#270; Jordan Syatt- TOP TIPS, MOTIVATION, making weightloss easier; overcoming struggles or fall off the wagon, making results a forever thing; harsh realities online
Starting out and committing for a long term change and TRULY taking an approach –
the start &
Summarize everything they do then ask Should we be doing more, staying the same, doing less
behind all of that and how its almost as toxic as saying “its just one, eat the cookie” when not everyone is in the same place
People
have had years behind them to eat just that one,
To know
the education around food etc
Others
don't
Also our social media our perception of normal and reality is all the same
Also in
this how the intuitive eating movement can cause more issues with food where
they feel bad for wanting control, and even bad or tracking steps & food…
People
who don't track food so closely are those who have been doing it for years
And
people forget how they started and what they needed back then, even as exercise
cues which may NOT be optimal but what might be needed
___________
*** the
value of tracking VS people making others feel guilty in saying its disordered
and the reality
And i
always say there is nothing more obsessive than complaining about how you feel
and how you cant get your goals, your metabolism hormones blah blah blah
>>
i love your explanation on how to bring up a healthy model of this around kids
with your reference to recipes, maybe you can explain more into that
identity AND environment are big players here, even of one as a dieter. Or
only knowing shrinking, chasing small.
Or even just
identifying as someone whos always struggling for that
&
a 3rd question in that.. Being okay to admit we are struggling or even relapsed
so we can ask for assistance/help
Relationship
with failure
The
fear of the unknown
People
hating themselves stuck because of how scared they are of the what ifs
> what are some things you prep people with when they are starting a weightloss journey - in this include the motivation cycle - reality, expectations
preconceived
notions that don't serve us
And
anything that people like clients or people wanting to become clients/hire a
coach, and anyone else need to be aware of if they are to succeed long term
When people go to food for emotional needs, when they have a lot going on so they fall to poor eating habits and reinforcing the healthy cycle
The minimum commitment with a coach should be seen as really only a starting point because theres a lot of learning to do and unlearning to do
Navigating
> “i fell off the wagon” “ im so ashamed”
The person who is trying to start at level 10 vs the level theyre at
Ø The person who want to keep doing more
Ø The person who want to speed up the rungs before solidifying each one
There are many people who need to start at the lower level, how do you get them okay with that
Ø People who don't want to put themselves first
The person who has a lot going on with life, things always popping up, how can you get them to show up for themselves anyway knowing that this is going to help them for the better

#269 - Tying it all together the best results; what does it really take & what happens when results dont happen fast enough / Kelly Mack
@mackfitness305
@transformxruby
Expectations
What it takes
training
program design
why execution is important
why bracing is important
things that go wrong typically in squat and how to break them down
why barbells are the be all end all
how program design is an art and order selection plays a role
importance of tempo and how you initiate movements
muscle centric movements and why MMC is important with them
Can't build on faulty foundation
Mistakes women make
What creates the physique we want and why is it best to focus only on one goal not both
How to embrace the discomfort of building and find a new love in it away from body focus
People usually hate working out to start
How can we drive motivation and a shift away from the instant gratification, work hard burn calories and energy mentality
She works in person
No rest days
Developing habits
Fast sells permanent doesn’t
“feeling like its working”
Program design, why having a coach is so important, people do wahat they feel works, and can force impabalces
Like more reps, rush rush
Burning cals
Energy
And chasing only weight in the end
training
program design
why execution is important
why bracing is important
Momentum
Time we can feel like we “bulk fast”
LIFTING to lose weight
Nothing changes with your training. Lift the weights & train hard!
Food is scary
I want the 6 pack
I want the glutes
We bulk too fast
Impatient
Why is filming so important
Impatient
Or the results aren’t fast enough!
.
And these are the very same people
that continue to spin their wheels month after month ~ year after year!
.
The ones NOT willing to make any changes, but wanting different results!
Results aren’t fast enough how do you get people eokay with relearning things and marking progress

266; Stop sabotaging your metabolism & nutrition & enhance your long term training success PRO FITNESS & WELLNESS for life p2/ Tom Bainbridge
"I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently and probably have a bit of anecdotal evidence from personal experience. Do you think the potential outcome of following all the latest “bio-hacking” stuff (think Huberman, Attia etc.) could actually be net-negative.
What I mean is that people can get so hung up on following it all and create a bloody 90minute morning ritual with all this stuff in that in reality barely moves the needle but gets so difficult to sustain and keep as a habit that the stresses of missing it/skipping (which will be inevitable for most normal every day people with jobs and families) actually outweighs any small benefits of the latest “stuff” they promote."

#264; the inside scoop to your health & fitness goals; hard times. Challenges. The things you need to know in your journey w/ Elise
12 week deficit phase
Successful deficit phase
Used to get carried away and go too far
If I stop now I'm not hard core enough
Effort %
Planning
Bored with meals
I know what it feels like to be confident
I said Im going to do this, I'm doing it, I did it
Training
Showing up for yourself
Stop jumping into another calorie deficit the minute you feel fluffy
Its going to be easier to embrace hunger
To say no
To make trade offs
To have more structure
Bikini season when we entered
Don’t be a breadstick
Be the baguette that gets jacked

#263; Menopausing So Hard - Amanda Thebe
Mental
Perimenopause
Progesterone is linear on the way down but estrogen is on the way down
Testosterone also decline
Night sweats & restless legs, constipation
What are other symptoms you see
Personal stuff
Experiences

Menopocolypse
Insta @amanda.thebe
FB group: Menopausing So Hard
find me at instagram.com/transformxruby
> estrogen
> bellyfat
> the brain & cognition; role of estrogen & testosterone
Other symptoms that arent spoken about alot
“why am I so bloody fat”
isn't down to menopause specifically but down to the impact that menopause has on our lives
and there's a Nuance there and when we start to sort of understand what's happening with
our body we can then start working with the change
our fat distribution changes
Tummy area mostly; pear to apple shape
cardiovascular exercise can actually reduce incidents of visceral fat in our belly area it doesn't mean you lose fat it redistributes. You need a calorie deficit for actual fat loss
estrogen declining it has a cascading impact on other vital hormones in our body two of those vital hormones are insulin and cortisol
Estrogen and we know that that impacts us from our sensitivity to insulin

#262; How mindset, stress, negative body image impacts your gut + Exercise's role in this/ Gab Fundaro pt 2
@vitaminphd
Barbend
Examine.com
@transformxruby
(negative body image and food stress impact on the gut)
Stress, dieting (chronically) & the gut
Exercising and dieting in a positive way
How not focusing on weight but on behaviours, habits, and actions that align with a healthy fit lifestyle can see weightloss as a byproduct
Probiotics, overprescription
How you can be in a calorie surplus but a nutrient deficit - gut - calorie banace
Gut microbiome on weight regulation
Brain fog and fatigue… chronic undereating of either calories or nutrients
Chronic high fat feeding – Hyper caloric
"weight loss is a contact sport," and managing it with protective factors like positive body image, critical processing of media images, social support, and health goals. I thought it was the most amazing analogy.
stress management & physical activity itself on gut health
How being active can influence the gut
What can cause excess gas, that some gas is normal, and causes of constipation
How excessive dieting & undereating can impact the gut
