Most people would prefer to not have to count calories, but they're afraid to give it up. They think they will lose control around food. They think they won't be able to lose weight. They think it works for them. None of these things are true if you're struggling with your food and body. Instead, the peace and freedom around food that you want won't be found until you break from the calorie obsession. Let me be clear, though. There's nothing inherently wrong with calorie counting - UNLESS you struggle with your food and body. For these people, of which Deanna and I used to be one of them, the calorie tracking is an anchor to Diet Culture. It'll keep you stuck in the diet cycle so long as you keep depending on it. In episode 263. of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to help you understand why calorie counting is holding you back. We'll explain when it's useful and when it's an obstacle. And we'll show you what to do instead In this episode - “How to Let Go of Calorie Counting and Find Peace in Eating Again”, you'll learn... 🔶 Why calorie counting keeps you trapped in an obsessive cycle with food 🔶 How letting go of numbers helps you tune into your body's natural hunger and fullness cues 🔶 What to do when fear of losing control around food keeps you from giving up calorie tracking 🔶 Why letting go of calorie counting leads to healthier eating habits 🔶 The psychological toll of tracking every calorie and what it's doing to you …and much more!

There's a tendency for people to always be seeking out more motivation so that they don't have to keep relying on willpower to push them. This might actually work - IF we weren't approaching motivation wrong in the first place. If you make the necessary shifts, you won't need motivation to sustain you. Instead, the healthy behaviors you want in your life will become the easier and more effortless choices to make (and do). In episode 262 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to debunk some of Diet Culture's psychology that is actually holding you back, and we're going to show you how to approach motivation as a short-term tool - getting the momentum going until habit takes over and keeps you going. In this episode - “How to Reignite Your Motivation When You've Been Stuck”, you'll learn... 🔶 Why motivation fades and how to get it back 🔶 How to tap into your deeper "why" to stay focused 🔶 The importance of creating a routine that energizes rather than drains you 🔶 Why relying solely on willpower is a recipe for burnout 🔶 How to frame setbacks as opportunities for growth, not failure 🔶 What dumbbell lunges walking has to do with anything …and much more!

What if I told you that I could guarantee a 50/50 chance you'd end up gaining weight if you tried following a Diet Culture approach to lose weight? Would you take those odds for a chance of success? But wait... the other 50% chance isn't all a success. Instead, nearly all of that percentage will lead to some weight loss followed by you regaining the same weight you lost. The "real" success, measured only in long-term pounds lost (ie not necessarily ending body image struggles, food obsession, etc, in the process), is just a measly 5%. That's right. Studies suggest a Diet Culture approach leads to upwards of 95% of people regaining any lost weight within 2-5 years. And about half (or up to 65%) of those people end up heavier than their pre-diet weight. And it gets worse with each successive attempt. Yet despite the dismal odds, we keep taking the chance that we might win the weight loss lottery. Diet Culture does not work. It has taught you to make every mistake you could think of that goes against your long term best interests. If you want to achieve your Ideal Body, you need to recognize these mistakes and take a whole new approach. In episode 261 of Fitness & Sushi, Deanna and I are going to break down 3 of the biggest mistakes we've seen repeated over and over again from our new clients in the Mentorship (and that we've made ourselves at one point in time). And then we'll show you the approach to take instead. In this episode - “The 3 Biggest Mistakes Diet Culture Taught You”, you'll learn... 🔶 Why relying on a diet mindset can trap you in a cycle of temporary fixes, leading to repeated failures and frustration 🔶 How focusing solely on willpower can be harmful, fueling shame and self-doubt instead of addressing deeper issues 🔶 The dangers of prioritizing weight loss over overall health and well-being, and how it can undermine long-term success 🔶 Why traditional approaches often fail to address the root causes of food and body struggles 🔶 How to shift your focus from quick fixes to sustainable, holistic changes that improve your relationship with food, body, and self 🔶 Why nepotism has no place in our business …and much more!
