Hangin with Little Miss Lucy Lu
I just had a great weekend in Texas visiting with my family and friends, while also squeezing in a few business meetings.
My mom just got this adorable little-ball-of-fur who makes a debut in our Motivation Monday video below!
Have you ever wondered why some people can eat cupcakes and stay slender while someone else seems to do “everything right” but spends her life chronically dieting?
In this weeks training video, you’re going to learn why doing “everything right” sometimes isn’t the answer.
What you eat is one part of the puzzle, but how you eat is the other important piece of the puzzle.
These factors metabolically affect your nutritional status:
- You could be eating the healthiest food in the universe, but their nutritional ability is compromised when you eat out of an optimal state of digestion and assimilation…
- Relaxation
- Pleasure
- Awareness
When you eat in a stress state here’s what I can guarantee you:
- You will not optimally extract vitamins and minerals
- You will not calorie burn to your fullest capacity
So from this perspective, you are better off enjoying the cupcake with your BFF in a pleasure state than you are the big veggie salad all stressed out.
Hi Audra! I have been on a “diet” since early Feb and have lost 17lbs…it’s been all about fat burn through cardio and eating healthy!
Then came dinner with friends a couple of Saturdays ago at our home. Dessert served: banana splits with 2 sccops of vanilla ice cream, gobs of fresh fruit, chocolate sauce (generous) drizzle, sprinkled with roasted, sliced almonds….heaven, I tell you!
And Audra, to your point, I didn’t gain an ounce that weekend!
Congrats on your weight loss, Prameela.
The next step is learning how to enjoy life, and yes… ENJOY FOOD, in life giving, life-serving way. And yes, that might even include ice cream!
Audra, Wow! I really like this and have never thought this way!!! I would like to hear more!Lisa
Awesome Lisa!
This is how I teach nutrition and weight loss. We have to change our thought process; change the linear masculine approach to weight loss… because it doesn’t work!
Stay tuned because there’s WAY more to come!
It’s true that taking the time to enjoy your food makes it last, and somehow not stick to the bones. Many years ago, I lost 10 pounds effortlessly just by slowing down and making sure I chewed every bite of food. I found I enjoyed my food more, and could never finish my plate! The world felt full of food!
Trying to get back to that mind set today!
Jenny,
That’s EXACTLY what I’m talking about! It’s that mindset that changes the face of not only how we “lose weight”, but how we live completely and fully in the moment…truly experiencing life and food together.
Beautiful!
