    Topics covered:

    It's not forever! The Program is 91 days and that is enough time to make change!Check out the discussion with Dr. Ruth Kane over on the Weigh In with Gina podcast.What sets the Livy Method apart from other diets is our focus on Maintenance.The benefits of solidifying your new habits. When you are not chasing a goal, then what? You are changing who you are; Maintenance is about embracing the new you! Who's my best Self? The most expensive part of the program is the wardrobe you'll need! The educational diet program is not about control and manipulation; it's about becoming in tune with your choices. Evolution of exercise as it relates to dieting. Inactivity is detrimental to health! We want this to be the last diet you've ever done! Why it's important to do as many rounds of the Program as you need. Using the App to keep track comes in handy if you need to press pause for whatever reason. Where do YOU factor into the decisions you are making? Is your body going to f&%# you over? No! You can't go back to how you were! Trusting yourself comes with learning to make better choices for yourself and being in tune with your body's needs. Your body is your greatest cheerleader! Your body is NOT trying to screw you over!Are you for real right now? We want to get better at asking the 4 Questions from our belly, not our brain. How to get from here to there? Learn to trust your body's messages. Be proud of what you have accomplished. Celebrate your wins. Reconnect with what resonates positively for you.Don't beat yourself up! Be aware and get curious about what's going on! It's not about the ______(fill in the blank); It's about what it represents! You cannot eat and think at the same time. Falling back is easier than moving forward. That is why we want to have healthy ways of falling back! Sure, it's fun to do whatever we want, but it's not fun how we feel after. Review the Tweak This Week and go all in on the Food Plan Revamp. We are not done yet!

    With the Tweak This Week, we are changing things up and phasing off the basic Food PlanReviewing where members are at this week and some of the struggles they’re facingThe importance of continuing to be mindful and asking ourselves the Mindfullness questions - not just adding fat and protein without being mindful of the total composition of our meals and snacksA spoonful of nut butter is not a snack on its own! Hemp hearts are a great addition to add healthy fat and proteinThis week is not Keto. We are bumping up nutrient value by adding some fat and protein - the focus of our snack remains the sameWe are going from two afternoon snacks to one by bumping up the nutrient value of our one snack with added protein and healthy fatAs we move on, we don’t want to be following a schedule but instead, be checking in and assessing what we need throughout the dayHow much protein is enough? This isn’t a deprivation diet where things are limited. When following The Livy Method, you are getting the protein your body needs The importance of trying the tweak even if you’re feeling concerned about going down to one afternoon snackDigging deeper into the afternoon snack and how it should be put togetherWhy we don’t count grams of protein and how we learn to be in tune with our body’s needs in the moment When we’re adding in protein and fat, we’ll naturally find the portion size that satiates us decreasingThere is no right or wrong way to approach the tweak this weekLooking deeper into the snacks this week - discussing high-quality protein powders, if you want to include themThe benefits to starting your day with a higher protein breakfastWe’re looking to minimize heavier carbs this week. If you want to add them in, lunch is still the best option for themThis week’s tweak is setting us up for Personalizing the Plan in the coming weeksNext week we will be introducing Back On Track - a tool to help us get back at it when things go off the rails

    Topics covered:

    Pulse check: Where are you at and how are you feeling?Using the 4 Questions to be in tune with your portions and know what you need is an important practice. The revamp this week gives you more flexibility and options with how you approach meals and snacks.Weight loss is hard and there is a lot more you can do to be proactive.This is your opportunity to work through the tough stuff of dieting: cut yourself some slack when life is hard. Setbacks give you a chance to step back and get some perspective. Mondays are not "start again.” The power of asking yourself 'what is getting in the way of me being here in the end?"Scale fluctuations are not real weight gain and why plateaus are opportunities to lean into the weekly tweaks. Reassessing right now: what do I need to focus on? Calories in and calories out? Healthy and sustainable weight loss is so much more than that! Being more active is great because we need more muscle mass as we age. Knowing and Doing are very different things: Now's the time to act! Don't be afraid of fruit! Choose it because it's appealing not because it's sweet. Let's talk about reflecting on your progress so far and where your WHY is at now. Weekends knocking you off your game? It's a good opportunity to ask what you need to adjust in your routine. Are you all in? You will either quit or follow through and finish the 91 days strong. Comments from others reflect them; how we respond and feel about those comments reflects on us.Today is the day: what can you do to follow through on what's important to you?

    Gina and Kim share what their favourite week tweak is.Let's dig into Maximizing and Feeding the Metabolism One Last Time this week!From being overwhelmed to doing what you can, members have come a long way to being excited about this tweak.Splitting meals and snacks is about doing what you can when you can. No stress!Hunger fluctuations: it's normal to feel hungrier or not hungry at all for a variety of reasons."Extra hungry" doesn't necessarily mean "more food."Everyone responds differently to the tweaks; it's important not to compare your journey to other members.Are you doing your own thing or following the Program as designed?Second portions are about mindfully tuning into your portions and hunger.Self-reflection and the benefits of learning from last week's pain points and the adjustments you can make this week.There is power in doing your best and not making excuses for the things you didn't do well.Feeding the metabolism really tells the body there is food coming and it doesn't need to store fat!Double down on Mindfulness: bring awareness to the changes you are making and have fun with it!Separating the proteins and carbs this week will help set you up for next week.Food Plan Revamp: next week we will follow the Food Plan Guidelines but with some key changes.Don't stress! Keep an open mind about the changes we are making in Week 9+10.It's not about eating less food; it's about tuning into how much you need to eat throughout the day.How you set yourself up for the day can make a difference in managing the gaps between snacks and the next meal.Protein shakes: there are benefits to chewing foods versus liquid nutrients.
