163-Smart Women Don’t Diet… and What They Do Instead
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.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.- Albert Einstein
The question is… are you?
162-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.
161-Are You a Sugar Addict? with Bitten Jonsson
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.
160-Practicing the Basics
One superstar student of the current semester of the Going Beyond The Food Academy is 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.
159-Live Q&A Session October… Nothing Is Off Limits!
The last time we did a live recording, the episode quickly went to the top chart! That live Q&A session on Facebook was almost a year ago! There’s so much fun to do… We are well overdue for another one… Just like the last one, we recorded this one over a Facebook Live during our yearly Going Beyond the Food Project online conference.
158-“Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong”… Almost!
“Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong” by Micheal Hobbes is controversial… is challenging all of our societal beliefs around obesity all of them. From obesity is the #1 enemy of health to dieting throws it all in the air… and also explains why we suffer so much when stigmatized with weight issues… Is it all true? Almost…

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? In this episode, we are going to breakdown the stages of changes and why no one in this community is in stage one.
154-How to 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. Because… The Solution is within us.
153-The Solution to Food Addiction
Food addiction is a very sensitive subject… and let’s say very controversial. 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. Sugar is addictive and should be avoided for the rest of my life. All forms of sugar were dangerous… like viciously dangerous.
