This is for you if this sounds familiar: You started strong doing all the things - food was on point, you were drinking your water, getting your steps in, the scale was moving, you were feeling pretty dang good…
Then all of a sudden it’s like you hit a brick wall and now that scale just won’t budge no matter what you do <argh!!>
It's soooo frustrating when you inevitably hit that weight loss stall.
Read MoreHave you ever thought weight loss would be so much easier if you weren’t so dang hungry all the time? I always used to say that - constantly trying to ignore the fact that I was hungry was one of my biggest downfalls when trying to lose weight.
I was usually fine the first few days - you know when you’re still super motivated and it's new so you feel extra determined - ‘I’m gonna do it this time’...
But after a few days…maybe a couple weeks if I was really lucky… of trying to white knuckle it through the cravings it got harder and harder not to give in….
Read MoreTell me if you can relate? I struggled to lose weight for a long time. I dieted, counted calories, drank my water, got my steps in…I thought I was doing everything right so I just couldn’t understand why the weight wouldn’t budge!
I had no idea that some of what I was doing was actually causing me to store more fat…(argh!!)
Read MoreI remember standing in front of my closet just about in tears, a pile of clothes strewn across my bed. The outfit I had planned to wear to go out with my then boyfriend did NOT look the same on as it did when I pictured it in my head. I scrambled trying to find something else that would work - I really wanted to look cute, but by this point I had given up on that and was just trying to find an outfit that made me look less fat and hid the rolls around my belly and bra strap…
I was so frustrated and disgusted with myself that I didn’t even want to go out anymore…and now I had a big pile of clothes that I had to put away too…ARGH!…
Read MoreWe know that when you’re trying to reverse insulin resistance it's important to stay on track with your diet plan. That can make eating out or eating on the run feel hard or intimidating. You might even avoid social occasions because of it - but thats not necessary. For this lifestyle to be sustainable you NEED to be able to live your life and not feel like you’re always missing out.
Read MoreTell me has this ever happened to you?
You put on a pair of pants and all of a sudden they're tighter than usual...its a little harder to get that zipper up and that button buttoned - then you wonder how you're gonna be able to breathe the rest of the day...
Or stepped on the scale and the number didn't budge or even worse it went up?
I remember that feeling all too well...part of me just wanted to give up and go fuck it eat and the other half wanted to buckle down and get super strict to get the fucking weight off…
What I did know was I didn't want to go up another jeans size ...again!
Read MoreWe usually do it based on the results somebody else had. Maybe a friend tried it. Maybe you read a magazine article about it, or you saw it on social media...
We never really stop to think does this diet work for me? Does it fit with my likes and my dislikes, my lifestyle, does it work for the results that I’m looking for?
