Do you think that cutting carbs is the real, effective way to see results in your weight loss?  If so, stick around and hear me out in today's episode.

Carbohydrates are actually what your body needs to maintain proper function.  It's the type of carb that we eat that can send us down a path to gaining weight (cookies, cakes, etc).  All roads of restriction will always lead to binge. Restricting the good carbs will always backfire at some point!

Do you constantly go through your day evaluating your food choices & decisions based on calories, fearful of eating something not on "the plan" because you'll gain weight?

Are you living in the diet mindset because you've come to love it and you don't know any other way??

Today I am sharing perspective here on how this mindset can actually halt any progress you think you are making.  I'll share 3 ways that is actually keeping you from reaching your weight loss goals!

Are you ready to stop dieting, but still have a few pounds you'd like to lose?

Are you tired of the constant diet cycling that you are doing and the mental energy that it takes to keep it all going?

In today's episode, I am going to share the last 2 tools for how to finally achieve weight loss, without dieting and obsessing.  These tools, if practiced, will help equip you to finally make the change for good!  Stop dieting and start living life!

Are you overwhelmed by all the many different types of workouts and programs you see online?  Not sure where to start or which ones would be most effective for you?

It's easy to see someone get results from something, but you know nothing about them.  Their bodies are different, what they eat might be different, their schedules might be different, their stress level might be different.  It's never the right way to choose a program based off someone else's body and what they look like.

Find out what works for you!  I am giving you 4 steps to get you started in finding the workout program you need.

If you want to jump into coaching with me 1 on 1, I would love to hop on a call and discuss what that would look like!

I am offering my coaching right now, for a 6 week program, only $299!

Do you find yourself eating in secret due to fear of judgment?

Do you sneak away to consume foods you believe you're not "supposed to" eat?

Concealing our actions often indicates a deeper emotional issue. God sees all and is always with us. Yet, sometimes, the shame pushes us further from Him rather than drawing us nearer.

I want to offer encouragement today. His grace is enough, and there is liberation in bringing these actions to light. He wishes for you to discover true freedom and put an end to this behavior.
