I recently spoke on a finance podcast and was asked where I got my investing knowledge. I don't have much. I have a huge interest in human behaviours and predictable tried and true patterns. Skills rely more on behaviours than they do information. In this episode, I talk about the main skills that are important when it comes to losing weight and keeping it all for life - skills that will probably be as true in 100 years as they are today. A calorie deficit seldom works when there is a deficit of eating skills.

Last week I told a client that it's impossible to lose weight and never feel hungry. So I decided to share a smattering of ideas I've found important and impactful. I've expanded on them a little - using examples in some cases - but the goal is to make them into memorable bite-sized nuggets to keep with you always

Yoyo dieting will never be fixed with more dieting. And yet, the desire to change your body is difficult to put aside. It's understandable. But how do you address this issue? This episode explores 3 core ideas for breaking yoyo dieting forever; 'If/then' planning, Unconditional (not uncritical) permission to eat and entering a delibarate weight-neutral phase.

Join Paul as he talks about how we can use death to increase awareness of how we spend precious moments of life. The transient nature of life makes it beautiful. Understanding this encourages us to appreciate our bodies, savour food, evaluate who influences us and audit our desires. One personal tragedy can change us philosophically in ways that no amount of reading can. For the short time we're here, we can choose to appreciate mundane experiences more deeply.

Your personal values are the driver of your nutrition decisions. They help you make the right decision for the right context. Diet conditioning reduces foods to weight loss only. "Good" and "bad". Values help you make autonomous decisions confidently. You will never not love the things you love. The main difference between "good" and "bad" is not the food itself, but whether decisions are made mindfully or mindlessly. If you're looking to break up with dieting, values are a seriously good place to start.
