#97 - Is your partner sceptical about pro-metabolic eating and this program? with Mick Saunders

A lot of women in our program have families and partners. And oftentimes, their partners are sceptical. They’ve seen their wives cycle through so many diets and programs over the years, and so it’s easy to assume that this is just another fad diet which they will give up after a few months or that will get them results but not be sustainable. Yet, this couldn’t be the farthest thing from the truth!So, I decided to sit down with one of these women’s partners. Mick is Lynn Saunders’ husband (Lynn has done amazingly well in our program). He’s seen her go through various diets (at least one a year for 30 years!), so he has heaps of insight into what it’s been like through all of the ups and downs.In this episode, Mick and I chat about:➡️What it was like watching his wife go through all these different diets➡️What he thought when she first started the WinAtLife program➡️What changes he’s noticed in her since she’s joined the program➡️The impact the program has had on their relationship➡️The investment and has it been worth it?➡️The benefits Mick has seen for himself through pro-metabolic eating - he's actually lost 15 kgs just by adopting the nutrition and lifestyle changes Lynn hasHappy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.

#95 - How your beliefs can sabotage your behaviour and what you can do about it with Carol Nedov

[NEW PODCAST🎙] How your beliefs can sabotage your behaviour and what you can do about it with Carol NedovA common thing I see with women when they join our programs is that they come in and they have all the tools, education and support they need but then they self-sabotage.

So, I wanted to have Carol on the podcast to talk about how our beliefs can sabotage our behaviour, and what you can do about it.Carol is actually a client of ours, and she’s become a friend.

The type of food you eat, the quality of the food you eat, the nutrient content of the food you eat and the digestibility of the food you eat is important.But so is the amount of food you eat and the macronutrient breakdown.Feedback is critical to learning how to do anything better and to achieving a specific result.Let me ask you this, if you're not getting the result you want and you're not tracking your food and other biofeedback markers how do you know what to change?The answer is YOU DON'T.I know a lot of women that have a negative connotation when it comes to tracking their food.So, I decided to sit down with my partner Craig — the other half of WinAtLife — and chat about why tracking is so beneficial and how you can overcome your negative mindset around it.
