5/5/2024
Does "I wish I was skinny. I HATE how my body looks" sound familiar? Wanting to be skinny is something Lyndi & Natalia know too well. We live in a world that tells us the most impressive thing a woman can be is thin. It's no wonder we are constantly trying to lose weight.

109: Why can't I stop overeating at night? I'm worried about my weight

4/6/2024
Ever wondered why you can't stop eating at night? Can you relate to the feeling of late-evening pantry raids after a not-so-peachy day. You might eat a biscuit, then five minutes later a slice of cheese. Followed by a handful of grapes… and half a Mars bar. Then go back to the biscuits for (probably) 6 more. …Trying to fill that hole, that gap, that needed to be fed. If you are nodding along, thinking, "Mmm-Hmm, this is me," just know you're not alone. I’ve been there, done that, plenty of times myself. Together, we'll uncover WHY those (unhelpful) daytime diets might set us up for evening binges and HOW a shift towards balanced, intentional eating to build healthier habits to kick emotional eating to the curb. Say hello to a world where complex carbs, proteins, healthy fats, and fiber are your BFFs in the fight against the late-night munchies, and where you can FINALLY feel in control around food. The second half of today's chat we peel back the layers of emotional eating - with experiences from my own journey. If you've ever found solace in a cookie (or half the packet..) we're going to break down those patterns and learn how to find comfort beyond the pantry and let go of the food-guilt (HOORAY!)

Today we have Sam Abbott on the podcast, a PCOS Nutritionist who has built a reputation for her fresh, non-diet approach to nutrition. This episode is a goldmine of information for anyone struggling with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that affects a significant number of women globally. Together, we unravel the mystery surrounding this condition as Sam walks us through the symptoms, diagnosis, and the importance of focusing on health metrics beyond the number on the scales. We shed light on the research around weight and PCOS, and reveal some surprising findings. In the second half of this chat, we dissect the relationship between PCOS, gluten, and dairy. It's a deep dive into understanding your body's unique requirements and the downsides of skipping meals or avoiding snacks. Sam shares her most effective tips for embracing intuitive eating and reducing dietary restrictions without jeopardising your health. We also answer some listener questions about balancing intuitive eating with PCOS, and myths surrounding food restrictions - specifically carbohydrates. This conversation is filled with valuable insights on PCOS management, mental health, and body autonomy.

95: "I can't stop eating even though I'm full" Non-diet tricks to leave food on your plate

1/8/2024
Do you find yourself eating beyond the point of fullness, leaving you feeling bloated and heavy? I've been there. I know the feeling of needing to eat everything on your plate, or being unsure when you'll allow yourself to eat next - which often results in overeating or bingeing to the point of discomfort. Sometimes, you'll eat more than you planned - and that's okay! If you struggle with feeling guilty when this happens, go back and revisit episode 54 here: What to do after a binge. Beating yourself up about what you've already eaten won't help - in fact, it will lead to more yo-yo dieting, food obsession and emotional eating later on. Instead, to help you better tune into your hunger and fullness signals, and prevent overeating, I'm sharing my top evidence-based tips so you can begin to stop eating when you notice you feel full. I share my strategies for learning how to leave food on your plate if you've had enough, so you can start eating to your hunger levels and feeling good after eating. Looking for some nutritious, balanced recipes to get you started, and help you feel satisfied after a meal, so you can reduce your risk of overeating?

94: Feel the urge to diet? Listen to this.

1/1/2024
I recently went on a magical family holiday to New Zealand. It was full of good food, hikes and wholesomeness. But one night, I was scrolling through the photos of the day and I noticed myself not loving what I was seeing. I wasn't focusing on the incredible memories. I was focusing on the cellulite, on my body and on all my insecurities. This isn't a new scenario for me. And it probably isn't for you. But what I did next is what changed the game. One hour later - I was back in my holiday mood. The New Year is the number one time of year for these feelings. So listen to this episode - and let's start 2024 right.
