CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

This might be one of my favorite episodes ever. Here's what happened: I got an email from a client who was really struggling. In the heat of a moment of frustration, she wanted to eat. She was simultaneously making choices that weren't aligned with her goals AND mad at herself that she was still fighting these battles with food. While bemoaning the ongoing struggle, she chose to turn to food. She was feeling emotional, overwhelmed and held captive by temptation & surrender. We went back & forth over email and voice note and when it was all said & done, I asked if I could share our exchange on the podcast. Fortunately for everyone who listens, she said yes. Don't miss this one. http://primalpotential.com/355-intensity-of-temptation/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Info How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Are there foods that you feel have more power than you do? Like once you stop with that certain thing, you just can't stop? Do you ever feel like you're addicted to sugar? I've certainly been there and so has one of my clients, with whom I'm chatting on today's episode. After losing 100 pounds, she convinced herself that she had been addicted to certain foods and she didn't have the power or self-control to include them in her life. For a time, that perspective really served her. It helped her keep the weight off and consistently make quality food choices. However, things changed and she realized she wanted to trust that she has far more control than any food, at any time. She wanted to find her own power and move beyond the idea that food was more powerful than she was. Today we chat about finding your power, overcoming fear and a different approach to the idea of food addiction. http://primalpotential.com/354-tackling-food-addiction/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Info How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Who hasn't seen the sensational headlines over the past couple weeks? Everything from "Coconut Oil Isn't Healthy. It Never Was Healthy" to "The World Just Fell Out of Love with Coconut Oil". Where did this come from? Is there new research we need to consider? In today's episode we're looking at this coconut oil controversy, where it came from, the science that is referenced and how you can find what works best for your body. http://primalpotential.com/353-coconut-oil-controversy/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Info 325: Dietary Fats To Avoid & Why 075: Dietary Fat & Cholesterol Dr. Chris Masterjohn's Podcast On Saturated Fat Research How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

One of the primary reasons we haven't reached our goals is that we doubt ourselves. It's not the doubt itself that is the problem, but it's the inaction & inconsistency that stems from doubt. In today's episode I'm talking about why we doubt and how to leave all your past failures, frustrations and missed opportunities behind you so you can create a dramatically different outcome than anything you've had before. We talk through legitimate hurdles to success like projecting past failures onto future attempts, valuing information over implementation and much more. http://primalpotential.com/352-overcoming-doubt/ If you'd rather watch this episode as a presentation instead of listen, follow this link: http://primalpotential.com/sum17replay Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Info How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I could have called this episode so many different things. I could have called it "Lifestyle Transformation After Baby". I could have called it "When You Should NOT Workout". I could have called it "Learning To Be Calm As A Fat Loss Strategy". I should probably just keep it simple and call it awesome. In today's episode I'm talking with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients who has lost 90 pounds, 40 of which has been in the last few months of her Fat Loss Fast Track experiences. At first, we talk a lot about what has worked well for her. We talk about how learning to be less reactive and more calm has helped her weight loss but also her happiness. Then we start to talk about exercise, sleep and when to push yourself. Not only is she inspiring, she's incredibly wise and I know you're going to get so much out of her story! http://primalpotential.com/351-lost-90-pounds/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Info How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Too often, we scramble for solutions without taking the time to really define and understand the problem. That leads to lots of effort with little results. We either solving the wrong problem or implementing the wrong solution, or both. It's a waste of time & a fast track to frustration. Today's episode features a candid conversation with one of my Masters Club clients. Prior to her time in the Fat Loss Fast Track, she was always on a diet. She felt like her only weight loss strategy was "eat less" and she was exhausted by it. Though she developed a solid strategy that worked for her, she struggled to make consistent positive choices after having a baby and juggling life, marriage & motherhood. Through the course of our convo we define the problem, toss around potential solutions and determine a course of action to help her learn more about what works for her and get back to feeling her very best. http://primalpotential.com/350-identifying-the-real-problem/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I'm so excited to have one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients on the show today. She's in the trenches of creating lasting change and refining what works best for her body & lifestyle. After feeling great about her first 12 weeks in the Fat Loss Fast Track, she struggled with enthusiasm, engagement & consistency in the second 12-weeks. She talks candidly about cycles of success and how she's fighting back to recreate momentum. I think it's powerful to see & hear what strategies work for people and how they overcome obstacles. Today's episode is a great example. http://primalpotential.com/349-success-cycles/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Be careful. Your lies will become your truth. The messages we send to ourselves via our thoughts & words become our reality. They are powerful. Your thoughts & words are not only descriptive but also prescriptive. They are instructions to your subconscious & they inform your behavior. If you're saying that you're out of control and have no motivation, that will become your truth, whether you want it to or not. If you struggle with doubt or negativity, don't miss today's episode! http://primalpotential.com/348-lies-become-truth/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I had a busy weekend, full of lessons, many of which came from my first time on a bike in God knows how many years. Saturday, I ate lots of treats (for me) and several alcoholic beverages. Sunday, I ate really clean & biked around Martha's Vineyard. On both days, I was reminded of powerful lessons that help me break through my mental barriers, make progress towards my goals and take great care of myself. In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 of those real-life lessons with you! I hope you enjoy them! http://primalpotential.com/347-5-life-lessons-for-success-fat-loss/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

You might not see it this way, but chances are, you're creating chaos in your life. Often, we turn to food & alcohol in response to stress, emotion, tension or anxiety. Food allows us to escape, avoid & numb whatever is bothering us. Then, we turn our attention to an attempt to NOT eat or drink in response to these feelings. However, that's like trying to lower a fever with ice instead of addressing & resolving what's causing the fever. In today's episode I will share what I wish I knew when I was younger about emotional reactions that contributed to overeating, binging and obesity. http://primalpotential.com/346-stop-creating-chaos/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)
