Why we need to change our beliefs about losing weight
Watch.
Do you only think about food if you need to lose a bit of weight?
Does not having a weight problem mean that you’re okay to eat whatever food you like?
“We need to help people shift from the calories in calories out way of thinking and that its a temporary thing rather than a way of life. Know that food does much more than managing your weight.”
— Nicola Mercer
“If we’re restricting any one of those main food groups too much, then we’re setting ourselves up for weight gain in the long run. You might lose weight initially, but then the weight will start to go back on. It’s important to have that foundational knowledge about how food actually works in your body.”
— Louise Digby
The beliefs we have about the role of food in our health are behind so many of us spending a huge proportion of our lifetime obsessing about which new diet to try and battling to lose weight. We’ve been conditioned to believe that a diet is the answer to losing weight. But is this true?
Today’s guest is a nutritional therapist who works with women over 40 to support them with losing weight the right way. Louise Digby is passionate about helping women to know the truth behind diets and food, and why the answer to your weight loss goals doesn’t just lie in the amount of food that you eat.
Join us in today’s episode as we talk about:
What a diet really is and why it’s time to change how we use the word diet.
The different factors that contribute to our weight and the results we have around weight loss.
Why calories are not the route to losing weight, or building strong health.
The role of the gut in weight management and your overall health.
How to start taking steps to focus on having good gut health.
The impact menopause has on women’s weight.
Whether women can lose weight in the menopause stage of life.
Why it’s time to change what we know and create different beliefs about the role of food in our lives and health.
