I was on the phone with a client-friend the other day. We were chatting about her goals and what changes she needs to make in order to feel better about her life & her progress. She said, "I need to stop telling myself that everything is a special occasion". What she meant was, "I need to stop making everything special also mean overindulging and/or drinking". And that's different. It's not about telling yourself "Hey! Not everything is a special occasion!" It's about practicing a new belief system: more food doesn't make an event more special. In fact, if often takes away more than it adds!

You are where you are because of how you think. We're all very quick to focus on behavioral changes we want, but all behavior, all choices, are driven by thoughts. If you want to behave differently, if you want to choose differently, you've got to focus on thinking differently. Today's short podcast episode will help you do just that! http://primalpotential.com/318-think-differently/ Resources: Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers

If you keep turning to food, despite your goals to lose weight or get healthy, it's time to consider: what are you REALLY hungry for? I've said for years that transformation is far more about tackling WHY we eat and not as much about WHAT we eat. In fact, that's why I created Breaking Barriers. But today we're diving deeper into what is often missing: lack of connection & relationship with yourself (first and foremost) and also with others. http://primalpotential.com/317-what-are-you-really-hungry-for/ Resources: Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Wired To Eat

Just a couple weeks ago, Robb Wolf, a leading Paleo health expert, released his new book, Wired to Eat. I loved it. Today I'm sharing my primary takeaways from the book with you. One of the things I loved the most is that Wolf acknowledges we can't approach food from a one-size-fits-all standpoint. We all have different tolerances & sensitivities and he uses this book to help you identify what does, and doesn't, work for you. What I loved even more than that is his focus on non-food factors that significantly influence our metabolism, body fat, appetite and overall health like sleep, light exposure, stress and loving relationships. I think the book is a powerful one and I hope you enjoy the takeaways I'm sharing in today's episode! http://primalpotential.com/316-wired-to-eat/ Resources: 017 - Sleep for Fat Loss Hyperpalatability - Is Fake Flavor Making You Fat Part 1 Is Fake Flavor Making You Fat Part 2 Probiotics & Your Microbiome Wired To Eat

Today you'll meet one of my male clients as he shares the hard work he did to set his ego aside and pursue growth beyond his comfort zone. He joined the Fat Loss Fast Track once he decided to stop focusing on what was wrong & all his past failures. He wasn't comfortable with the idea of journaling or taking a look at his emotional eating patterns but he did it anyway. He realized he had been quite comfortable in his patterns but deeply unhappy. He made the choice to get uncomfortable so he could become happy. His story is a powerful one. Don't miss it! I have no doubt that he can encourage you to find growth beyond your comfort zone. http://primalpotential.com/315-beyond-your-comfort-zone/ Resources: Ready to join the Fat Loss Fast Track?

One of the first questions I ask people when they get on the free Primal Potential VIP email list is "What are you struggling with & how can I help?" Recently, a common answer has been, "How can I stop bingeing?" However you define binge eating or simply eating to a point of regret & frustration, today I'm sharing 3.5 strategies (yup, there's a half strategy in there) to help you improve your food behaviors and take more control. http://primalpotential.com/314-stop-bingeing/ Resources: Ready to join the Fat Loss Fast Track? 148: Inside A Binge 197: Overeating & Your Metabolism 151: How To Stop Overeating

The other night I hosted a live webinar. I focused on why most of us fail. It's not about food. It's not about exercise. We're projecting our past choices, experiences & disappointments onto our present & future behavior. We are in our own way. We are limiting our potential based on our pasts. I want to help you overcome limiting beliefs, see doubt & fear as a lie and plow forward creating a life you love. http://primalpotential.com/313-overcome-limiting-beliefs/ I also talk in today's episode about the Spring Fat Loss Fast Track, which kicks off on Sunday April 2nd.

Guys, I had a fat loss breakthrough. I've shared that 2017 is my a push year for my fat loss goals and I was totally dialed in with food & fitness. Unfortunately, I was overlooking a few critical factors that could make or break my success. I believe strongly that understanding & optimizing blood sugar and insulin is critical for lasting fat loss. I have been so focused on eating and working out in a way that does so. However, I hadn't considered how non-food factors might be impacting my blood sugar. In today's episode, I'm sharing my fat loss breakthrough and what I'll be doing to understand how stress, sleep, workouts and food sensitivities are impacting my blood sugar and insulin responses.

I am as surprised to write this as you might be to read this: I just completed a 5-day fast. Essentially, for 5 days, I had nothing but water and coffee. During the first full 24 hours I had a couple of very low sugar kombuchas but yeah...crazy, right? In episodes 300 and 307 I talked about why I did it and why I feel strongly that it's dramatically different (emotionally & metabolically) from a crash diet but today I want to share the experience and talk about the primary lessons I learned from this 5 day fast and how I think it will influence my diet & mindset moving forward.
