CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I believe with all my heart that if you master what we're talking about in today's episode, you can crush any goal you set for yourself. Today's episode is about getting rid of all the drama & all the stories you use to talk yourself into choices that prevent you from reaching your goals. Today's episode is about distinguishing between what is really happening & the story you tell yourself about what is happening. Today we are looking at a couple basic yet powerful ideas: What is really happening without your story? Implementing simple decision making criteria. Oftentimes, we distract and exhaust ourselves with complicated stories about our past or our fears of the future and we get far away from what is really happening and the simple choice that needs to be made. Today we are cutting through all the drama and getting to the basics of the decision at hand & how you can master challenging moments.

Today we are talking about how we mess up our body's natural ability to regulate hunger & satiety, or feelings of fullness. Our body is actually designed to keep us from gaining too much weight through a series of hormonal signals. However, we have the ability to impair those hormonal signals by overeating or eating too much sugar, starch & processed foods. Fortunately for all of us, we can fix our hunger & satiety mechanisms and when we do, fat loss gets so much easier. Hunger diminishes, satiety returns and cravings fade away. If you have ever felt like you feel hungry shortly after eating or it takes a lot to feel full, this episode should be really helpful to you!

Your negative self-talk & committment to your past problems is old news. It is draining you, whether you realize it or not, and it's keeping you from the progress & success you are capable of. It's time to retire all your negativity & complaining and replace those limiting, prescriptive thoughts with inquiries that lead to action. Minisode of tough love! http://primalpotential.com/401/

A couple years ago I regularly did "random episodes" answering listener questions & sharing my own personal hacks & strategies. In today's episode, I'm doing both. I'm sharing a personal detoxification strategy and answering a bunch of listener questions including: Does eating this particular food take me out of fat burning mode? What's the best thing I should eat to make sure I stay in fat burning mode? Does exercising after eating sugar prevent fat storage? I also answer some mindset related questions from listeners who are frustrated that they aren't taking action to reach their goals. They want to lose weight, they want to eat better & they know what it matters so much, but they're still failing to take action & make it happen. I hope you enjoy the episode & if you have questions you'd like me to answer in an upcoming episode, leave them in the comments below! http://primalpotential.com/399/ Resources: Carbohydrate Spillover Activated Charcoal Toothpaste Activated Charcoal Supplements Have you tried Thrive Market yet?

On today's episode we're talking about boundaries and standards we set for ourselves. These are rules and restrictions but rather reminders that help us make each day as good as it can be. They are reminders that point us in the direction of choices that make us feel our very best. I shared a new boundary I recently created for myself: I don't indulge alone. I shared how I worked through my mental resistance to this change and the big ways I think it's going to improve my life and my mindset. Lastly, I talk about my honest answer to a great question from a listener. She asked, "How do you balance making progress towards your goals with being at peace with your choices & your body?"

In episode 388 I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson to talk about his new book, The Keto Reset Diet. During that interview I decided to give the reset a try, as a way of encouraging my body to be a better fat burning. Surprisingly, my boyfriend decided to do the reset as well & in the first 12 days he lost 19 pounds. He was talking about it with some friends when we were out to dinner the other night & the amount of bad (well intentioned but misinformed) advice that got tossed around was staggering. I'm not one to give unsolicited advice so I didn't jump in or counter any arguments, I just listened. I'm sure my boyfriend knew that my mind was racing, but I'm certainly not going to correct anyone who isn't looking to learn (but rather to share what they're sure they know). Anyways, in today's episode I thought I'd share the advice that was tossed around and give my two cents where people do come to hear my insights & opinions. http://primalpotential.com/396/ Resources: 388: Mark Sisson & The Keto Reset Diet The Keto Reset Diet by Mark Sisson 387: How To Become A Better Fat Burner ASCEND Boston Have you tried Thrive Market yet?

Insulin is the master fat loss hormone. Optimizing insulin production and release means fat loss, energy, satiety and the absence of cravings. Not optimizing insulin means fat storage, difficulty burning fat, fatigue, mood swings, cravings and more. In episode 394 we introduced the insulin index and explained how insulin can be impacted even when blood sugar is not. Today we're getting tactical & specific - reviewing which foods might have zero carbs but still produce a measurable insulin response and what you should do about it. http://primalpotential.com/395/ Resources: The formula for insulin load: insulin load = total carbohydrate – fiber + 0.56 x protein – 0.725 x fructose Chart of carbohydrate versus Food Insulin Index Optimising Nutrition on the Food Insulin Index To understand more about this, listen to the following episodes of the Primal Potential podcast: Episode 009: Carb Spillover Episode 058: Understanding Fat Loss Episode 021: Fruit & Fructose Why Calorie Counting Doesn't Work ASCEND Boston Have you tried Thrive Market yet?
