The Paul Dermody Podcast

7 great lessons from my 100 episodes to date. They include not being in such a rush, hedonic adaptation amongst others

A personal account of how certain ideas have helped improve my relationship with food 1. I began using principles, not methods 2. I stopped seeing food as good or bad 3. I stopped using dieting as self-flagellation 4. I realised food will always be there 5. I changed the lingo I used 6. I knew if you were never on a plan, you can never be off a plan 7. I asked better questions 8. I began to critically evaluate information I was offered 9. I stopped idolising physiques 10. I stopped being afraid of a little fat gain

Steve is back to chat about the recent fat-shaming stories in the media and his own personal experiences as well as dealing with it, how losing 110 pounds has changed his life exactly one year on and the mindset shifts that finally worked

As I grow and mature, these may change and/or be developed upon Here are 8 ideas I wish to share 1. Make decisions from love, abundance and curiosity and not fear/hate 2. Use other people's ideas to expand on and challenge your own but don't follow blindly. 3. Critically think. The burden of proof is on the person offering you unsolicited advice. 4. Learn rather than wish for. 5. Understand whether desire would enhance your life or whether it's just another way to remain unhappy 6. Self-educate 7. Define a clear set of core values for yourself 8. Seek happiness always, even if you think you cannot find it.

I'm joined by Orlaith this week who shares some very open, honest and unique views on dealing with negative body-image. There's a tonne of value in this episode.

What can I say? 100 pounds of weight loss, taking complete ownership, the worst moments of her life and her infectious moments of triumph (as can be seen on her IG), CBT, her appearance on the Late Late show. We go over absolutely everything about this lady's remarkable progress

In this episode I share two conflicting strategies I use to ensure I'm chasing my own personal happiness. They involves setting targets, to-do list and a morning routine. I may be late to the party here, but I think there is some gold in this

I recently received a DM from a follower asking for a little advice on how to get out of day-to-day thinking and chaos and deviate towards more structure, order and long-term thinking. A little bit different with this episode.

Too many people at mindlessly and then diet mindlessly-- both a recipe for no success Here are 5 necessary diet truths 1. You're going to have to think/act different this time 2. You influence those around you more than you realise 3. You need to own your decisions and accept them. No one else is at fault 4. Your knowledge and mindset is only as useful today as it is in ten years 5. You probably haven't tried everything

What will the next one do that the previous one didn't satisfy? Do you really need a new diet or are you making the same mistake every single weekend? Pushing the Fuck It button is what hurts people more than anything in my experience
