Why Weight? Start Now!

Show Notes

White bread, butter, Marmite and a handful of potato chips. That was my lunch one stressful afternoon recently, and that is not exactly on my food plan!

In this episode I share the honest story of an emotional eating slip-up: what triggered it, why stress eating can still catch you years into weight loss maintenance, and why this time it didn’t turn into a weekend binge and a “start again Monday&rdqu...

How many times have you lost the same ten kilos? Not how many kilos in total, but how many times you’ve lost them and ended up right back where you started.

After 15 years of coaching busy women and 25 years of keeping 30 kilos off myself, I can tell you that losing weight and keeping weight off are two completely different skills. Only one of them ever gets taught. That’s why most weight loss advice stops at the food, ...

Liz’s seamstress took in her wedding dress four times. Two days before she flew to Las Vegas to get married it still wasn’t sitting right, and the seamstress finally asked her to please stop losing weight.

This week I’m talking with my client Liz, who is down 22 kilos on a low carb plan. She spent twenty years as a vegetarian eating carbs on carbs on carbs, tried keto on her own, and slowly gained it all back befo...

Two days. The same 1300 calories. The same meal times. And two completely different bodies by the end of each day.

A month ago I wore a continuous glucose monitor for 10 days so I could see, in real time, what food, sleep and movement were doing to my blood sugar. On the high carb day my glucose looked like Mount Everest, and I was hungry and flat by mid afternoon. On the low carb day, with identical calories, the line barely moved...

Did you know the battle for stable blood sugars is mostly won or lost before 10am? In this episode, I explain why your morning routine matters more than your willpower when it comes to blood sugar balance, weight loss over 40, and beating afternoon cravings. When you wake up, your body is naturally more insulin resistant thanks to a morning surge of cortisol - which means a high-carb breakfast spikes your blood sugar higher than th...

Have you ever thought, “I’m eating exactly the same, but my weight keeps going up”? You’re not imagining it — and you’re definitely not broken. In this episode, I explain why calorie counting stops working for weight loss after 40, and why the real question isn’t “how many calories is this?” but “what is this meal doing to my blood sugar?”

I break down how declining ...

 If you've ever told yourself you just need more motivation to stick to your weight loss goals, this episode is for me to set the record straight. After fifteen years of coaching busy women, I can tell you motivation isn't the problem, and it isn't the solution either. It's an emotion, and emotions are unreliable - they don't show up on the days you need them most.
