163-Smart Women Don’t Diet… and What They Do Instead
Subscribe: iTunes | RSS | Sticher
Why Diets Don’t Work
Smart women don’t diet… they do THIS instead.
After 27 years of dieting, I’m clear on one thing… diets don’t work.
91% of all women are unhappy about their body and resort to dieting.
We think that a “thin” body is going to unlock our happiness, our acceptance, our joy.
And 95% of all dieters regain their all weight within 1-5 years.
Yet we keep dieting. We keep hating our body. We keep judging ourselves for our inability to be in freaking control… yet neuroscience is clear: WILLPOWER is a limited resource.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”– Albert Einstein
The question is… are you?
After making peace with food and my body by going beyond the food as a nutritionist and looking at what was really driving our desire to eat and judge our body, today, I help women do one thing: Transform your relationship to food and body so you can….
*FEEL BETTER about YOUR body as it is today without having to lose anything.
*BE HEALTHIER in your body and mind as you make aligned choices.
*Finally no longer being controlled by food instead, having the power to say yes or no.
*Being able to release the emotional blocks that keep you stuck.
*Be at peace with your body, eating and most importantly, yourself so you can be happy NOW… not conditional to losing something.
If you’re not sure if you need more peace around food or your body OR if you are the right fit for the food freedom challenge, I have the perfect thing for you…
Get Your Food Freedom Score
Today, we are going to find out how you fare on the scale of food freedom (10 questions only). Are you “normal eater” and have no emotional attachment or control issue with food? Or are you a woman that is being controlled by food?
… And worst-case scenario, you’ll spend 90 seconds seeing what could be possible for you that maybe you aren’t ready for in your life or maybe you’ll have a realization that what you thought was a healthy relationship to food isn’t?
Who knows what will be the outcome of this 90 secs assessment score?!?!
In this episode I discuss
- The real reason why smart women don’t diet
- Why I don’t talk about weight loss and my programs are not designed
- Why your intention is key in changing the way you eat
- The truth about why diets don’t work
Last episode, I talked about the “All or Nothing Mindset” trap. This absolutist thinking is one of the most common denominators in our Going Beyond The Food community. It’s the source of many emotional eating loops, overeating weekends and restricted food binges.
In fact, this all or nothing mindset is a negative thought process also known as cognitive distortion. Everything- from food to your views of yourself to professional life– is divided into black or white terms. Everything is either success or failure.
So, this episode focused on defining this mindset and providing you with a step-by-step solution to the “black or white” mentality.

162-All or Nothing Mindset Trap
Subscribe: iTunes | RSS | Sticher
All or Nothing Mindset Trap
Do you say things like “I’m on track”, “I’m having a good or bad day” and the ultimate “on and off the wagon”?
Absolutist thinking is one of the most common denominators in our Going Beyond The Food community. It’s the source of many emotional eating loops, overeating weekends and restricted food binges.
The truth is the all or nothing mindset is a negative thought process also known as cognitive distortion. Everything- from food to your views of yourself to professional life– is divided into black or white terms. Everything is either success or failure.
The consequences of this way of engaging with food and, quite frankly, life are anxiety, stress, self-doubt, low self-esteem, feeling of failure and shame and long-term distorted relationship to food. Most critical, it affects our ability to have a healthy and balanced life experience.
To add fuel to the fire, the fact is that diets are built around the all or nothing framework. We start the diet, we restrict food and it works until it doesn’t. Then, we try harder and feel that we need to be 100% to get results… we feel deprived… we cave in having “bad food” … as a result, we feel ashamed of ourselves… and it goes on and on.
The Solution to the “All or Nothing Mindset”
The solution is to learn to live in the grey… to separate your self-worth with how you engage with food or your weight. You are so much more than the way you eat or what you weigh.
Step 1
The first step, instead of trying to suppress your hunger and cravings, seek to understand why you desire to eat. Shift the focus from bad and good to compassion and acceptance.
Step 2
The second step is to learn to manage your emotions with something else than food. We teach using your breath (The Crave Cure Formula) to ride the wave of your emotions. Some use tapping… many other solutions… just got to program your subconscious mind to seek something else than food.
Final Step
The last step is to tap into your intuition to know what to know, what to eat instead of diet rules. We call this intuitive eating, your internal nutritionist. Yes, every human was given one at birth!
I used to be the Queen of “All or Nothing”… extreme in everything. At 36 years old, it came to end. My body couldn’t take the stress anymore and shut down. That’s why I’m so passionate about my work and what I teach.
In this episode I discuss
- The truth about the ‘all or nothing’ mindset
- The real consequence of the absolutist thinking to the women of the Beyond the Food community
- The solution to the ‘black or white’ mentality
Last episode, we answered a number of questions about sugar addiction with Bitten Jonsson, RN and ADDIS/SUGAR Certified and a Sugar Addiction Specialist. I also gave her carte blanche to use my own assessment to explain and help you understand addiction.
In this episode, I also shared my personal take on the labeling of ‘addict’ and how I view my addictive behaviors which paved the way for the creation of the Going Beyond The Food Method. The Going Beyond The Food Method was born from me hitting rock bottom and seeing the story repeating itself in my patients. It’s about shining the light on your possibilities by acknowledging and having compassion for your darkness.
The Going Beyond The Food Method is what healed my sugar addiction at 38 years old. But it also what allowed me to stop nicotine too at 36 years old… I just didn’t know that’s what I was doing! You don’t wanna miss this episode. Click here.

161-Are You a Sugar Addict? with Bitten Jonsson
Subscribe: iTunes | RSS | Sticher
Are you a sugar addict?
Are you a sugar addict?
Is sugar addiction even real?
What’s the difference between sugar addiction and emotional eating?
If we’re addicted to sugar, what should we do?
These are all the questions we will answer with Bitten Jonsson, RN, ADDIS/SUGAR Certified and a Sugar Addiction Specialist. I gave her carte blanche to use my own assessment to explain and help you understand addiction.
If you look at the medical definition of addiction… I’m an addict. Throughout my life, I have been addicted to many substances and activities: started with sugar then moved on to drugs and nicotine and then human co-dependency and work. As Bitten described, I have an addictive personality.
But I don’t like the label of addict. To be honest, I don’t like labeling altogether. I find labeling to be very disempowering. When I labeled myself as an addict, which I did in my twenties, it made my addiction worse. I thought I was powerless…. that the substance had more power than I could ever have over my own addiction.
For me, my addictive behaviors are a message from my soul… once I understood this concept of addiction, it allowed me to recover as they say in the world of addiction. Instead of recovery, I say I surrendered.
Surrendering to my addictions created the Going Beyond The Food Method. The Going Beyond The Food Method was born from me hitting rock bottom and seeing the story repeating itself in my patients. It’s about shining the light on your possibilities by acknowledging and having compassion for your darkness.
The Going Beyond The Food Method is what healed my sugar addiction at 38 years old. But it also what allowed me to stop nicotine too at 36 years old… I just didn’t know that’s what I was doing!
That you are watching on video or listening on the podcast I hope my vulnerability in sharing my story will help one of you… to see the light and what is possible.
In this episode we discuss
- The definition of sugar addiction
- A quick tour to your brain – the three types of brain
- I also shared my own addiction assessment that Bitten completed
- The ways to address sugar addiction and addiction in general
Last episode I talked about a superstar student of the current semester of the Going Beyond The Food Academy who’s seeing so much results in a short 4–week period that she feels the duty to share our method with people in her life that need it.
She wanted to know if we have an episode of the podcast she could share with people that would encapsulate our approach and what to do to get started… we didn’t have one. Well, that’s not true. We had many that dissected one point but none that recaps our approach at a higher level. One designed for beginners.

156-7 Lessons From Accepting My Body
Subscribe: iTunes | RSS | Sticher
Lessons Learned from Accepting My Body
My journey towards accepting my body has been hard but one of the most rewarding difficult processes I have ever done. I have learned many lessons in this journey which I’ll be sharing with you in this episode. 7 life lessons I have learned and that have seeped through my whole life.
But I want you to know something… right now!
Body acceptance is possible for all of us. That is, accepting our body for what is. Taking the focus on what your body looks like and instead focusing on what it’s capable of.
Rather than telling yourself you hate the fat on your belly, it’s appreciating the child it created.
Body Neutrality is the proprietary method I teach within the Going Beyond The Food Academy. Lesson 7. The most impactful life-changing module.
Body neutrality will lead you to:
- Overcome black and white thinking
- Gain more self-love and compassion
- Being more mindful… in all aspects of life
- Decrease anxiety, stress, and feeling of hopelessness
- Be more motivated to make the right choice
What I’ve found is that body shaming is the most potent reason why we emotionally eat, binge eat, compulsively eat and obviously, diet.
Last episode, I talked about a fairly common experience among women who want to change yet can’t get started or perhaps have started the process of change and it’s not getting her where she wants to be. It’s all about being stuck.
In fact, I break down the stages of changes and why no one in this community is in stage one, which means everyone is engaged in the process of change. You’re all in between stages 2-5… And maybe 6.
Moreover, we’re also going to hear from someone who is in stage 4 which is where most of my students are. Ready to engage in stage 5-6! Click here.

Why You’re Stuck and What to Do
Do you feel stuck?
You want to change yet you can’t get started or perhaps you’ve started the process of change and it’s not getting you where you want to be?
I hear a version of that everytime I engage with a new client. I mean, I’ve been there myself. There is a part of my life in which I’m there right now.
There is a reason why you are stuck and no, it’s not because something is wrong with you or the program you‘re on. In fact, the reason is in between your two ears. The solution is in your mind… and your heart.
In this episode, we are going to break down the stages of changes and why no one in this community is in stage one, which means everyone is engaged in the process of change. You’re all in between stages 2-5… And maybe 6.
Moreover, we’re also going to hear from someone who is in stage 4 which is where most of my students are. Ready to engage in stage 5-6!
In this episode I discuss
- The reason why you’re stuck and the actionable strategies to make profound and steady changes in your life
- Why you view change as a process of giving something up rather than a means of gaining benefits
- Perfection is a goal-killer: What not to expect in the process of making changes
- The 6 stages of changes – with focus on stages 1-4 where many women are
Last episode, I talked about what most women in my community usually ask: how to stop binging cycles. First of all, I discussed the definition of binging. In addition, I highlighted how binging cycles happen as well as the brain mechanism behind it – the reason why your brain leads you to binge cycles and where it comes from.
Ultimately, I shared the solution to stop binging cycles. The solution that is within us. If you’re one of these women who’s asking the same questions, I encourage you to listen in! Click here.

154-How to Stop Binging Cycles
Subscribe: iTunes | RSS | Sticher
Stop Binging Cycles
Binging is defined as a period, usually short, of excess something. In the case of binge eating, it’s excess eating. It’s usually done alone and or hidden from our environment.
My approach, as always, is based on taking responsibility. It’s an empowering model of transformation.
The solution is within us.
If you are looking to blame something out of you to resolve binge… like food, sugar, what people did to you… then, this is not the right podcast for you.
Feeling empowered resides in the fact that you know you have the power to change things. You can only change what you create. Most of us create the desire to binge… that’s the framework in which we will explore this.
This is only for the women who are ready to transform permanently…
Because transformation CAN only happen when we feel empowered over our problem that we want to transform.
In this episode I discuss
- What is Binge Eating?
- How binging cycles happen… the brain mechanism behind it.
- Why your brain leads you to binge cycle… where does it come from?
- The solution to stop binge cycles
Last episode I talked about a very sensitive subject… and let’s say very controversial – food addiction. It’s one of these subjects that get people very polarized. It’s either one way or the other.
I used to see addiction, food addiction being one of the possible addictions, as this black or white subject. For instance, sugar is addictive and should be avoided for the rest of my life. All forms of sugar were dangerous… like viciously dangerous.
But then, I evolved… I opened myself to different viewpoints. Educated myself. Researched. I realized via education and life experience (my own addictions) that it’s not black and white.
So, if you are the same as I was, I highly recommend that you listen to this episode as I share my viewpoints, the facts of research and solution here that we teach at the Going Beyond the Food Academy. Click here.

Last episode was a special bonus edition of The Beyond the Food Show podcast, I shared a powerful case study that will show you how transforming your relationship to food is not only possible without willpower but also transforming your entire life: kids, partner, work and all!
I showcased the story of one of the members of our Academy community, Jessica Tomasko. Jessica is in her 40’s, a mother of 2, wife and a professional who, in her words, says she has spent her whole life binging and dieting. She was desperate, miserable and scared that if nothing changes, she would spend the rest of her life suffering.
Jessica is a source of inspiration for all women. Jessica agreed to do this to impact other women… like you. Listen up! Click here.

Finding the Courage to Do What’s Best for You
In this special bonus edition of The Beyond the Food Show podcast, I’m sharing a powerful case study that will show you how transforming your relationship to food is not only possible without willpower but also transforming your entire life: kids, partner, work and all!
To kick off this new segment of the podcast, I’m showcasing the story of one of the members of our Academy community, Jessica Tomasko. Jessica is in her 40’s, a mother of 2, wife and a professional who, in her words, says she has spent her whole life binging and dieting. She was desperate, miserable and scared that if nothing changes, she would spend the rest of her life suffering.
Jessica is a source of inspiration for all women. Jessica agreed to do this to impact other women… like you.
In this episode I discuss
- Why is it worth your time and money to do the Going Beyond the Food Academy
- How the Going Beyond the Food Academy can help you not only as an individual but also as a mother
- The reasons why the Going Beyond the Food Academy is different from other weight loss programs
- Why we need to stop fearing our emotions
- How eating intuitively will help your body seek nutrition naturally
Last episode, I talked about how much is your desire to control your food and weight is really costing you. I was hesitant at first because I know the values and beliefs that many of us have around money and how sensitive it is for many women. However, after months of thinking, I’ve decided to speak publicly.
Cost and money are the #1 reason why women do not take their knowledge to the next level, thus, creating changes and transformation in their lives. Nothing will ever change if we continue doing the same thing that resulted in our current situation. That applies to anything…
If you are one of the women who’s hindered by money to be able to create changes and transformation in your life, this episode is for you. Listen up! Click here.
