https://www.basicallyitmeals.com/ What are they challenged by Holidays can totally derail weight loss efforts and send you into a negative mindset loop You feel bad so you keep eating and the eating makes you feel bad so you eat some more From october 30th to January 1 we end up eating Grocery store filled with goodies Weve got cookies stocked in our house The office is stocked with goodies Weâre going to parties outside of actual holidays We are indulging a lot What we really want is to feel in control around the food. To be able to indulge without overdoing it, without obsessing about it. To enjoy some cookies and wine and not see the scale move This is possible I used to love and hate the holidays, it was exciting and worrisome I always had this question in my mind: am I going to blow it? Which made me feel uncertain and in turn i usually did blow it, then i would try to fix it with restriction, and when you donât feel in control and yuo are trying to restrict to fix the fact that you overateâŠyou are ultimately out of control and constantly selfsabotaging. You have no trust with yourself Now the holidays are exciting, but the food is not a focus of that excitement. It will be there for sure, it will bee great when i eat it, but iâm not thinking about ti otherwise Im not worried about it Im not worried about myself around it Im not worried about what the scale is going to say on January 2nd I know with 100% certainty that i will enjoy some cookies, i will enjoy some wine and the scale will not budge⊠What is success? In order to succeed this holiday season you need to decide what success is for you. Are you gaining weight, losing weight or staying the same? Make it a conscious choice instead of leaving it up in the air for january 2nd. This puts you in control! What do you want to reflect on on january 2nd as this was a wonderful holiday season? Here are some prompts: I enjoyed cookies, but i never felt regret or guilt because i oveerate them I was really present with my family during our gatherings I got to see some friends i donât normally see and during those times i was focused on the friend and not on the food or how much i was and wasnât eating I didnât feel worried in between or leading up to a holiday gathering I was calm and confident between gatherings I felt in control at parties I felt free around food I was confident stepping on the scale I was excited to get dressed for parties How can you make it successful Based on what you want your weight to do: Create your success plan: Instead of just eating all the things any time they are available, ask yourself which items you love and want to enjoy and which items you are just eating because they are there but you could totally skip For me, i like chocolate chip cookies but I can really skip most other desserts. I like this one dip my aunt makes, and I love cheese and crackers, but most other dips and appetizers, like a bunch of fried items, I can totally go without I enjoy wine, but I hate having wine with desserts, that makes me feel like crap so I know itâs one or the other for me, or I may have like a bite of a cookie if I am having wine Everything else I am likely going to skip entirely Make a daily plan What does your week look like for parties/gatherings? Is there a party today I am going to be indulging at? What will i have and how much? How will i adjust the rest of my day so i can enjoy that thing and not be fuleing more than my body needs? What days will I stick with clean and not have an indulgence? What items are just around all the time and how do I want to think about them? Im scared i will eat it because its there vs I am in control and i am choosing not to have that thing today When you do want to eat something you ahvenât planned for how will you handle it? Just because you said today is clean doesnât mean your brain wont tell you to eat something Handling it with calm and confidence vs scared, worried, doubtful

Be the first thin person in your family Get your weight loss cheat sheet: bit.ly/cravingsheet Do you want to be the first thin person in your family? About a year ago I had a client come to work with me and she said the weight she lost made her the first thin person in her family. SHe said she was breaking the cycle of obesity in her family. And i truly believe there is a familial cycle of obesity that happens in our families. So if you are overweight, eating in a way that you donât love and you donât want to pass those habits down to your kids, here are my 3 tips. 1. Stop listening to all the âdietâ âeat thisâ information, instead start listening to your body's natural signal for when and what to fuel. This might include not listening to your relatives advice about how to eat, breaking your preconceived notions about what losing weight, living in a thin body or eating less actually means. What you want it to mean for you. It might also mean that you need to get to the bottom of someone from your past critisizing you and your weight and deciding how you want to think about that Your body knows better than any guru out there, and it trust me it doesnât want to be overweight. You might have this idea that your body is working against you to be overweight, this is not true and thinking that does not help you to lose weight at all. Your body wants to lose weight, too. And it has a built in system for doing so. You have to get back to listening to it 2. Change your mindset! Whatever you are thinking about all day long right now is driving you to eat, itâs driving you to eat junk and its driving you to be checked out from your body. Your mindset should effortlessly lead you to eating that causes you to lose weight. You probably think you need to take a different set of actions, like stop eating carbs and start going to the gym every dayâŠbut the actions are only part of the picture. You take action from your mindset, so the key is to actually change your mindset and then your actions will change naturally Pretty much all of my clients are action focussed, so when they say this is what I need to do to lose weight this week I ask them and what do you need to be thinking in order to take those actions effortlessly 3. Practice! Itâs how your brain learns, itâs how you will lose weight and keep it off. This is not talked about in the diet spaceâŠbut think about how you learned to play a sport or play a new instrument: you tried and failed and you listened to your coach tell you what worked and what didnât work and what do differently next time. You donât know how to weigh 50lbs less than you do right now, you have to learn how to be that weight. What types of food do you eat? How much? How many indulgence do you have each week? Why do you eat those indulgences? This is the process of learning something new and itâs wha you need to apply to lose weight and keep it off

Your body has a built in system to help you weigh what you want, but you forgot how to listen. This system will adjust for changing hormones and metabolism, so yes, it still works in your 50âs. What my clients focus on is resetting their bodies natural weight loss system One of my clients who is about 50, had been through chemo treatments and had thyroid issues was really concerned about her hormones and metabolism. She was not feeling confident about her weight loss journey. She gave herself 6 months to lose 10 pounds she wanted and she lost it, you guys, in 2 weeks. And she never gained it back Because she was able to tap into her bodies natural system for weight loss 2. You arenât making good food choices and that's not because you donât want to, itâs because youâre missing a piece of information about your brain.

She is so great at planning and evaluating though and despite her hormones and metabolism,. By thinking ahead, planning her indulgences and tracking she was able to lose 19lbs in two weeks. 3. You donât need to fix all your bad habits at once, choose one and start there. This is where so many of you are flubbing up. You are really focussed on everything that isnât working, and things that arenât working that are out of your control, such as your hormones and metabolism. One of my clients had a medical history and was struggling hormonally, metabolically, she was working full time, never had time to workout and when I talked to her she was freaking out about it all. How would she overcome all these hurdles and lose weight. I said we arenât going to tackle any of those. We are just going to focus on one thing that is in your control. That thing was stress eating. She just focussed on managing her stress without food. She realized she was way overeating all because of stress and that when just focussed on what she could control she lost 8 pounds in two weeks. She said it wasnât hard and that was after a year of trying to lose weight and not seeing any success!

the billion dollar diet industry doesn't want you to know these Seven truths about weight loss.. GET YOUR FREEBIE HERE: https://bit.ly/cravingsheet As a thank you for listening I created a freebie for you One thing almost everyone I talk to struggles with is eating things you donât actually want to eat. You feel like the day is going great and then bam, breakroom cookies pop up. Or itâs 3pm and you are crushing chips and queso before they have to pick up the kids from school. OR you feel super out of control around tempting foods, or donât realize they were eating until the entire bag of chips is gone. You think you are the problem, we need more willpower or to be more strict, but none of that actually works. So i created a worksheet to help you not only prepare for the unexpected moments like the breakroom cookies, but feel in control during even those times you havenât been able to get in control of for years. Diets arenât the answer. They want you to think that they are, but if they were the answer then the weight problem wouldnât exist anymore, would it? My goal for each and every one of my clients is to NOT NEED me anymoreâŠinstead of creating dependence, I create independence Random people on the internet donât know more about how much and what you should be eating than you and your body do. You are out there asking everyone but yourself what you should do to lose weight. The secret is you already know, your body knows, you just need a coach to show you the path If you donât weigh what you want itâs because your primitive brain is making food decisions for you from a place of survival mode. There is a process to getting you our of survival mode so you can make food choices that will help you lose weight and stop self sabotaging You have to use your human brain, prefrontal cortex, to make food decisions. When you can tap into the part of your brain that has the ability to plan ahead and set goals, the part that wants tto lose weight to make food decisions then the weight can begin to come off Plan for the times when your brain will tell you to eat all the food instead of pretending like it wonât happen today. This is a huge mistake you are probably making. You eat a huge bag of chips on the couch every night and every morning you wake up and tell yourself last night was the last timeâŠwhen you handle it that way you donât learn how to stop. You pretend that âknowing betterâ will help you get through it next time when it wonât. You need to think about the times when you are eating out of control, ask yourself good questions and make a plan for it. How you lose the weight is how youâre going to keep it offâŠaka if you lose it by restricting and dieting, thatâs what youâre going to have to do for the rest of your life to keep it off. Ask yourself how you want your life to look when you have lost the weight. What kind of relationship do you have with food, with your body? Do you workout, what do you eat, how do you eat? That is what you need to start doing now Your mindset is so powerful for weight loss, tap into it What you think about shows up in your life. If you are thinking weight loss is hard, you arenât capable of doing it, youll never be able to stop self sabotagingâŠthen that is what you are going to get How can you flip those thoughts to believing in yourself? Now repeat that

The Biggest Mistake Youâre making to lose weight and how to fix it GET YOUR FREEBIE HERE: https://bit.ly/cravingsheet Hi, my name is Hayley Sohn and I am a Nutritionist and Brain Training Weight Loss Coach. I teach my clients how to lose 10lbs in 30 days without dieting by wiring their brain to eat less. This might not even sound like something you need help with because it is so engrained in you to lose weight by focusing on your actions However, focusing on your actions to lose weight is the biggest mistake you are making in your weight loss journey and there is actually a simple fix for it. Effortless weight loss happens when you make the shift i am going to teach you in this episode This is what my clients work on with me in my program each day. What is happening now and Why its not working: This is how weight loss usually looks: Clothes donât fit and you are unhappy with how you look Choose a diet you are going to follow- you focus on the foods you can and cant have Start out monday with the best of intentions By 5pm you are using willpower to try and not eat the chips and queso you usually have You are stressed out, asking yourself what is wrong with you that you want to eat all these things that wont help you lose weight. Youre trying to stay excited and motivated to lose weight but you just really need something to help you check out from the pressure and overwhelm youâre feeling You keep reminding yourself to use willpower- if you can just hang on and not eat until you go to bed tomorrow will be easier⊠Maybe you do hang on, maybe you hang on for a month and the scale goes down. But you donât feel like anything has changed or gotten easier. You feel exhausted and you still want to eat the chips and queso THis is the style we use to lose weight and what is happening is we are focused on our actions only. And i will explain why that doesnât work We are taught to lose weight by changing our actions. And indeed, certain actions will cause you to lose weightâŠbut you just canât get yourself to take those actions. Why? Because there is actually something the precedes action, something that causes you to take the actions you are taking. It goes like this: you have a thought, a sentence in your brain and each thought has an emotional reaction, a physiological response to that thought, you actually feel emotions in your body. From emotion, from the feeling you have in your body you take action and actions create your results. Such as you lose weight or you donât lose weight. So before we take action we have a thought that creates an emotion that causes us to take action So telling yourself to just take this action or that action when we are actually thinking âthere is no point because it never worksâ and feeling despair will not lead to effortlessly eating less because that action does not align with that emotion. The actions that align with despair are giving up, eating all the snacks in the house, eating even when youâre not hungry, not exercising and those will result in the scale going up and further proving your point trying to eat less doesnât work So if there is always a thought and emotion that precedes every action and you are trying to force yourself to take actions that donât align with your current think you are probably getting into willpower, pressure, stress The problem is those emotions are a lot of work, we run out of the energy needed to keep going with them. So when we lose weight from this place it often doesnât last What you need to do: This is how it can be: You decide to focus more on your mindset around food than the food itself. You donât tell yourself you cant eat this or that or try to restrict yourself to a number of calories You simply begin by telling yourself your thoughts and emotions are your number one focus, you stop obsessing over all the foods you can and cant have You start to be able to move from doubt and regret each morning into calm and confidence. No matter what happens today you know you can handle it Food choices are way less dramatic, you are able to listen to your bodies signals and let them lead you in your food choices. Your brain starts to quiet down about food. You donât need willpower because you have confidence The scale starts to go down but you feel like you havenât really changed that muchâŠit has all been really effortless. In order for your actions to happen naturally you have to work on the thoughts you are having and the emotions those thoughts are creating. This is what my clients are doing when i tell you that they lost weight and didnât feel like they changed that muchâŠwhat happened was they changed their thought which changed their emotion which created a different action for them effortlessly so they were able to eat less without it being a struggle or go to a buffet and feel amazing and still lose weight. Here is what mine looked like when i was losing my postpartum weight: Instead of: Cutting out carbs Eliminating sugar Not stress eating Drinking a lot of water Going to the gym Making my husband diet with me I did this: What thoughts are going to create confidence, calm and certainty for me as I lose weight after having a baby? I want to lose weight I genuinely do not want to stress eat because it will cause me more stress I want to handle my stress with breathing and walks I know i can do this, I have done this before and this time will be no different With the emotions of calm, certainty and confidence i effortlessly took these actions Slowed down when i felt stress and addressed the stress instated of looking for food Made a daily food plan and committed to sticking to it Listened to my bodies natural signals for hunger and satiety Got outside and moved around with my baby Made sure i was drinking water Took it slow and evaluated: aka didnât beat myself up if the scale didnât go down And i lost 10lbs in a month

I packed it myself but like it is seriously not a proud moment So I thought I would pop in and talk about perfectionist eating If you want to live your life and weigh what you wantâŠeating like a perfectionist will not get you there Perfectionist eating is an extension of all or nothing thinking I either eat perfect Or i eat everything When you canât eat perfectly you say F it and just eat all the things And how often are you able to have complete control and eat perfectly? Look at the scale and it will tell you how often. If you donât weight what you want, then never. In order to drop the perfectionist eating and consequently the overeating you must: Make a plan Making decisions ahead of time allows you to plan to be messy, not perfect and have indulgences The goal of this plan isnât to punish yourself if you arenât perfect and donât follow it but to show you the areas where your brain really wants to eat so you can work on that with my next tip Manage your brain around wanting to eat off the plan Breathing Practice practice practice

My name is Hayley Sohn, I am a nutritionist and brain training weight loss coach specializing in helping women lose 30lbs in 90 days without dieting by eliminating emotional and stress eating. Work with me: basicallyitmeals.com I have told this story many times here before, but I am breaking it down into a few lessons here on todayâs podcast. Lessons i learned in 5 years of NOT losing weight Diets donât work As a nutritionist, i was trained in prescribing diets. Knowing the exact macros, calorie counts, food lists that would equal weight loss When i was 30lbs overweight i was doing all the diets but I Felt more out of control than ever before Was eating more than ever before Thought about food all the time I realized it didnât matter what âdiet planâ i said i was going to followâŠbecause my brain and my mindset were setting that diet plan up to fail and i didnât know how to begin to fix it When i finally dropped all the restrictive diets and began to focus on my mindset in a productive way i saw the weight fall off You can eliminate emotional eating in a pain free way I remember thinking one day as I laid in bed eating cheetos feeling super stressed and out of control (hello, Iâm working full time as a nutritionist and running a healthy meal delivery service, like what am I doing) that i didnât want to give up food as my emotional support system The thought of that scared me One of my clients refers to all of her past dieting as âsufferingâ and a huge part of that is when food is your emotional support system and you sort of yank that out from under yourself with a restrictive diet you are left with no tools to handle your life, your stress, anxiety, without the food. Its scary, its feels like suffering So i really focussed on learning how to deal with stress without food, learning how to deal with boredom without food, learning how to deal with anxiety and not eat When i focussed there all of the sudden i could eat less without pain, without feeling like i didnât have a way to deal with my life Emotions are important Almost everyone i speak to who wants to lose weight tells me this: I want to feel something other than what i am feeling daily right now Yet!! They also tell me they arenât very emotional and they donât understand where emotions come from I used to not consider myself an emotional person, but really i just didnât understand emotions, how they work and their role in our lives Plus, one universal law: you have emotions whether you realize it or not, they are created by your thinking Emotions donât happen to you, you create them. Even if you donât think you are experiencing or creating emotions for yourself, you are When you can harness thinking, you can take control of your emotions and start to FEEL the way you want to feel everyday! Effortless Peaceful Confident Happy Actions donât work Yes, ultimately actions will get us the result we wantâŠif we eat less we will lose weight. BUT what we all try to do is decide the actions we will take and then take them even though we are feeling doubtful, overwhelmed, pressure, stress, anxiety⊠When you do it that way you have to use willpower: the actions donât feel good when you take them and you canât keep them up Your mindset is everything Mindset isnât abstract; There is a clear process for creating a mindset that will help you lose weight When you focus on your mindset, this impossible weight loss game suddenly happens and it feels easy and natural You are not set in your ways, you can change your brain If you practiced your golf swing wrong from childhood to your 50âs would a golf instructor say oh im sorry, that is set in stone you wonât be able to change it? No because our brain is elastic, its always capable of learning something new and undoing something old Years ago scientists thought your brain was set in stone by age 18, then it was late 20s and recently I read that your brain is actually never set in stone What I think personally is that we have thought process we use. The longer we use them the more practiced we are at them, the more challenging they are to undo and begin doing something else. It is never impossible Exercise because you want to not because you have to âhave toâ, need to, should, trying need to be swapped for want to, have, gratitude When you tell yourself âI should lose weightâ, does that make you feel ready to go out and do what what you need to do to lose weight? No? Then why are using that sentence to try and create the actions needed to lose weight? Odds are you are using âhave toâ, need to, should, trying in with any weight loss and diet attempts. They are not effective. Why? Because they donât generate positive emotion Swap those for I want to I know how I am capable of I already am Im grateful for I already have This isnât semantics. This is mindset

Willpower vs Confidence I posted a picture in my stories of some food I was eating the other day and I got this message from an Instagram follower simply saying âwillpowerâ And I replied ânever! Confidenceâ And it got me thinking about the difference between these two when it comes to weight loss My name is Hayley Sohn, I am a nutritionist and brain training weight loss coach specializing in helping women lose 30lbs in 90 days without dieting by eliminating emotional and stress eating. Work with me: basicallyitmeals.com I used to use willpower. Every morning i would wake up and tell myself Today is the day i have enough willpower to not want to eat handfuls of cereal out of the box To not overeat dinner To not snack until i felt sick and it was time for bed I would make a ridiculous diet plan for myself And then 3pm would roll around I would be exhausted from the day Hungry from my diet and i didnât know how to handle it I believed i had no control over my desire to eat other than just âtrying not to eatâ and i would tell myself that- i have to try not to eat all the crap But trying wasnât enough Telling myself i wanted to but i canât wasnât enough Telling myself it was gross, it was bad, it just never was enough Ultimately i still wanted to eat all the time, i was still thinking about food all the time Willpower for weight loss This is our go toâŠwhy? Two big reasons Becasue its what we are told we need Because we lack belief in our ability to not want to eat something C T: I have to use every ounce of willpower i have to not want to eat this food, i canât not want to eat, i want to eat it but i canât F: willpower A: think about food all the time, tell yourself you wont eat it, make up diets excluding foods, skip social events R: you still want to eat the food The results of using willpower You still want to eat the food Sometimes you might not eat it, but ultimately you always feel like you want to If you dont eat it, if you drop weight, you ultimately cant keep it up You feel out of control You never feel like you are in control of your desire to eat or your weight You never learn to not desire food! Food will always be the only thing that can help you in the way it is helping you now Help you unwind, disconnect Help yuo destress Help you with anxiety Be the thing you love to have on the couch after your kids go to bed Be the thing you obsess over Essentially, you are always going to have the same relationship with food that you do now Confidence for weight loss When i realized there was an alternative to using willpower to lose weight i began to focus on building my confidence around food What this looks like C T: i want to feel confident around food, here are the areas where i already feel confident around food, this is a huge reason i believe i can feel confident around food, feeling confident around food is possible for me T: now its- you can put any food in front of me and i am in complete control of if i eat it or not, i donât desire foods i donât want to desire, i never overeat, i donât eat if im not hungry F: confidence A: donât overeat, donât eat when not hungry, donât think about food when im not about to eat, i easily listen to my body signals and eat only for that R: i can weigh what i want with ease, i know that how i feel about food and around food are within my control I now have a completely different relationship with food than i did before This picture of some tempting food that i previously would have had to use willpower to get through was not like that for me at all. I was enjoying time with my family, there happened to be food there. I wasnât thinking about it, worrying, obsessing, counting, i was just there enjoying

Does losing weight have to be hard? My name is Hayley Sohn, I am a nutritionist and brain training weight loss coach specializing in helping women lose 30lbs in 90 days without dieting by eliminating emotional and stress eating. Work with me: basicallyitmeals.com Shout out to ashley! She lost a pound in a week This was sparked by a conversation i had with my parents about my postpartum weight loss, and so many conversations I have had with you about what the process of losing weight looks like. I was at the pool with my baby and my parents the other day and they were saying you lost the weight so quickly, you donât look like you just had a baby. How did you do it? Was it hard? I said no, i didnât work hard to do it. It got me thinking about the idea of working hard to lose weight vs working confidently So many of us think- I know i have to work hard if i want to lose weight⊠But what if weight loss just feels natural and relaxed? So thatâs what we are going to dive into today When weight loss is hard work You think in order to lose weight it has to be hard, a punishment of sorts, that you are going to struggle because you are used to or want to overindulge right now. The idea that you have to give up things you enjoy to lose weight and go to the gym and do things you donât enjoy to get there⊠I want to point out that being overweight, overeating all the time, using food to manage your emotions is hard! You are already in the hard, why not make losing the weight something you enjoy! That is a mindset. T: i have to work hard, I am going to struggle, its not going to be fun or easy, i will have to sweat and deprive myself F: struggle, doubt, overwhelm, willpower, deprivation A: gym, restrict, cut out foods you like, eat super clean R: what do you learn when something is hard? What is the result of weight loss is hard? You canât maintain it The process isnât fun You dont enjoy it, you donât show your brain that eating less can enjoyable You are pulling in two opposite directions The pendulum My postpartum weight loss journey I want to preface this by saying that i used to lose weight with âhardâ I worked out like crazy I was super restrictive or diet mentality I was also very judgemental of others at times None of it was fun and none of it was successfulâŠ.i was always working! I never could just relax and live my life I focussed on slowing down and listening to my body, an opportunity to reconnect, i was excited to do it, i committed to not using food to help me deal with stress or other emotions, working out was not a part of it, there was no specific diet a part of it although i did make decisions ahead of time and stick to them It was fun, exciting, self love, confidence, calm No sweat, no tears, no punishment I practiced patience with my body and always said if it doensât feel right or if it feels like too much I will back offâŠ.but the way i lose weight and the way i teach my clients to lose weight never feels that way. It feels like slowing down to listen to your body and eat for those natural signals and releasing all the thoughts taht donât serve you to feel good physically in your body So what can you do at home to release the hard and embrace the calm? What would weight loss look life for you if you used calm instead of willpower? Plan ahead todayâŠfollow through on those decisions. Reach out to meâŠi will show you the path! www.basicallyitmeals.com
