Here are some of the main mistakes you're making when losing weight. If you can avoid these mistakes and take a more sustainable and healthy approach to weight loss you'll find it so much easier to manage and keep up.
The diet and weight loss industry is a giant cash cow, it makes sense for companies and diets to continue to sell to you, not empower you.

In this solo episode I talk about my own journey with alcohol and weed and how I went about reducing them both, doing 222 days sober and over 150 days sober so far this year. I'm not an addiction specialist and this isn't aimed at those with addictions, but people wanting to take breaks from alcohol or look at reducing their consumption or trying periods of sobriety.
I cover the 5 most important steps you'll need to cut back.
-
Getting accountable to someone, and investing in yourself and your health.
-
Making the decision in your head that it's already done and achieved, rather than being uncertain.
-
Having something to work on and places/people that demand your attention, effort and focus.
-
Working on areas that will take a hit when you reduce it, such as your social life.
-
Looking at your social circle and making changes to it.

In today's solo episode I delve into how we can make one simple change to move us closer to our goals. The key to building lasting habits is focusing on creating a new identity around that goal first. Often our current behaviours are just a reflection of our current identity. We don't think we can achieve something because we're not 'sporty' or 'good at cooking'. In today's episode I get into the techniques that help mirror the image of the type of person you believe you can be. To change your behaviour for good, we need to start believing new things about ourselves through identity-based habits.

In today's solo mini episode I get into the topic of the 5 biggest mistakes I see people and clients making when trying to lose weight. From years of experience I've gained a real insight into the common pitfalls and difficult behaviour changes we can all fall prey to when trying to lose weight. I haven’t done an episode like this in a while as I’ve been having a lot of guests on and with the move to Australia it’s been a little tricky with having a set up. I hope you enjoy!
I chat about..
- Mistake number One - Why trying to eat healthy is stopping your progress and a better strategy to put in place
- Mistake number Two - Setting unrealistic expectations and standards for yourself and how to overcome this
- Mistake number Three - Why putting an unrealistic deadline on your weight loss will hamper your progress
- Mistake Number Four - Cutting out the foods that you enjoy to make quick progress and why that will come back to bit you
- Mistake Number Five - Why you are tracking your progress incorrectly (or not tracking it at all) and how that is impacting your feelings of progress
