Hey life booster. This is Dr. Amelia health coach and veterinarian here to help you ditch yo-yo diet and people pleasing and perfectionism by breaking the norm and living a life that energizes you from within. Have you ever been making healthy changes? Maybe you're on a diet and you're finally feeling pretty good or you're like, yes, this is going to be the time that I am going to just be good. Get it right. And. Then that envy creeps and like you are feeling good that you're having like your healthy salad and then you look over and you see that thin person who is just eating all this delicious food. And you're just like this isn't fair. Why can other people eat whatever they want and look great. And I need to be putting all this hard work and in order to just try to get results. Or have you ever been making healthy changes and you're feeling really good and in control, but then you go out to dinner with friends and they kind of just pressure you and you end up caving and you're like, ah, I'm not gonna drink, or I'm only gonna have one drink, but you ended up having more than you intended. Or they're like, come on. Like, what are the French fries? Like it's just one night and you end up ordering something that you regret if either of those scenarios sound familiar than this podcast episode is for you. So let's review the three levels of your wellness journey first. So level one is I'll do it tomorrow. So level one is when you do want to make healthy changes, you feel this pressure, you constantly like have this in the back of your mind of like, I need to. Just get it together. I don't like what I'm seeing when I look in the mirror or my doctor is telling me that I needed my calls. They changes or whatever the heck that means, or need to eat healthier with no actual information on what that could look like or how to make that happen. Or, you know, you're really busy, but you're like as soon as a stressful period is over, I am going to get my act together. I'm going to get back on track. So that's what level one is. And just by telling yourself that you will. Like you are going to have a plan of making changes. It just not right now, because things are too crazy. Then that gives you a little bit of comfort and it makes you feel okay about not making changes that day for them. Level two is the bandwagon. So that is once you are making healthy changes, you're feeling pretty good. You're starting to like the way that you're feeling or you're excited about like the healthy meals or you're working out feels really awesome, but it's very fragile. There's always. Worry that at any moment you could fall off track. There are lots of temptations. It takes a lot of effort and it is a, it's an uncomfortable place to be like, it feels good, but. A lot of fear behind it and worry and potentially judgment about yourself and your ability to keep it up long term. You may even be waiting the, you may almost be like just ready for like, as soon as you see a number on the scale to be able to just kind of go back to normal. That can also be a common thought in level. And then level three is the life boost level. That is where you feel. Awesome. You love the food that you're eating. You love this lifestyle that you have created. You feel confident you have the results that you want and you aren't afraid it is easily. it's not requiring any discipline or willpower. You have ditched the bandwagon you aren't ever worried about falling off because there is no bandwagon to fall off the, you just, this is the life that you are living now and you would never, ever want to go back because now you've seen what's possible. That is level three. And that is what I am here to help you. Fine. So level two though, that's where, so many people spend a lot of time and that's where these thoughts can really creep up of feeling just bad for yourself. Like why do I have to be putting in so much effort when other people don't have. And you're very easily influenced because you're working so hard to be making these changes and you just want a little treat. So, that suggestion of whether that is a friend or family member, Cardinal, like pressuring you being like, it's fine. Just like have a piece of cake, you know, don't be so. Uptight, like let loose just for tonight. Like, come on, be fun, have some drinks with us. And that kind of peer pressure can be really hard to resist. Or that even the power of suggestion, just in seeing something. So you may be doing really great making healthy changes until you see something like what if you see some ice cream in the freezer? What if the candy and. Donuts or these epic pastries are suddenly in the break room, then it's like, oh God, that's all that you want because you're you have seen it. So, this is one thing that I talk about a lot consistently in my jumpstart program because the jumpstart program involves a body vacation. And so there's at least a month of making some pretty big changes in the food that you're eating in order to give your body a reset. And it's designed to make it so that you're actually able to start feeling in control. And you're reconnecting with your body and understanding like your actual hunger cues and feeling satisfied, and you are taking a vacation from all those foods that were making it so that your brain and your body couldn't. Communicate the way that it's supposed to you take away the foods that are overriding that and making it so that you're just not feeling in control at all. And you're nourishing your body finally, with all of the nutrients that it's been wanting for so long, and that reset period is so that then you can slowly reintroduce the. food categories, one at a time. And at that point, I have a much better understanding of what's possible and how great you can feel in your body so that you are able to see one at a time, how different foods influence the way that you feel so that you become empowered with the knowledge of whether that is something that works for you and your body. At that point in time, you are empowered to decide if that's something that you want to have In your life and how much and how often you want to have it. And so that means that during the body vacation you are in level two. It is the bandwagon because you are making these healthy changes, but you aren't yet at level three where it feels effortless and you always have to. Spend some time in level two, it's not possible to go from level one. Like I'll do it tomorrow. And then instantly to level three where you're just like, Bing, I am going to be healthy forever. And I feel so in control. And I totally understand what my body needs. No, you do have to spend some time in level two, but the jumpstart program is designed to really help you to feel completely supported and it expedites immensely your journey so that you very quickly are able to, get through level two and to find level three, which is just the most fun thing ever to see people discovering that, especially people who have thought that they've just have lived with sugar cravings their entire life, or like never really liked vegetables. and just for their entire life have struggled with that. And then to like so quickly towards the end of the program, be like, yeah, I don't even crave sweets at all. Yeah. It wasn't a big deal. Like seeing the sweets in the break room, I just didn't even want it. It's it's just the most fun to see that transformation. However, because that body vacation is necessary. And there are big changes that they're making. there are a lot of feelings that come up of like, why do I have to be making these changes to my diet when other people. Around me. Like a lot of the times there are moms who are making these changes and yet their husband and their kids aren't making those changes. And so there are those temptations that they're seeing food that they're not able to eat. And anyone going through this they're eating out or they're going to a friend's house. And it is. Not the norm that the most nourishing foods are readily available. Most people are not eating foods that are making them feel the best. And so there is that feeling of missing out or why does this have to be hard for me in the jumpstart program? It's especially the first two weeks are the hardest, and then you feel amazing. Really exciting. And you have so many changes in your body, but those first two weeks, your body even goes through a little bit of a body temper tantrum. I say. So if your body is so used to getting lots of sugar, when you suddenly stop having added sugar in your diet, it has a temper tantrum, and that can sometimes be low energy. You might get a headache. It lets you know that it's not really happy about that abrupt change. And so that is why we talk so much about that mental component. You have to address that the brain, one of the life boosts BS of all the mindset behind the foods, while you are helping to balance your gut health and your blood sugar and feeling in control. So the number one thing that you need to do, and in the jumpstart program, this is a lot of work that we do in phase one, before you even make any changes to your diet, is that getting to the root of why you are doing this in the first place? Why are you making these changes? And it cannot just be because you want to lose 20 pounds. Why do you want to lose that weight? What does that mean for you? A lot of the time people who are doing the jumpstart program are also experiencing a lot of GI issues, bloating, headaches, low energy, brain fog. There are other things that don't feel good in their body on top of just not being the weight that they want to. And. Pretty much, I will guarantee if you are not the way that you want to be. You're also experiencing signs that don't feel good and your body, at least low energy cravings, you know, what do you really want to get out of these healthy changes that you're making? That is a really important thing to remind yourself of, because if you are just focused on the number on the scale, there are always going to be tired. Earned moments when that number on the scale is not your top priority. So if you are following a diet, you're making healthy changes, but you have had like an insanely stressful day and you just want. Drinks or you just want a sweet tree. You just need something. That's going to give you a little boost in the day at that moment. That moment when you have absolutely no willpower and you just need to feel like supported and comforted by something, losing weight in that moment is not going to be the most important thing. But. If you all are also thinking about how that is going to make it so that you're able to have more energy to show up and play with your kids, if it means that you aren't going to be suffering with stomach issues all of the time. Like if it means that you are finally going to have relief from feeling really uncomfortable in your body, then that is going to help you to remember why you're doing this so that if you're out and everybody else is drinking and you're having a mock tail, if you're just saying I'm trying to be good. Because I want to lose weight. That is a much weaker argument for yourself compared to I am having a mocktail because I want to feel good and that doesn't make me feel good. You know, I finally am wanting to heal my body and I always feel really crappy the next morning, that is going to help. One thing that happens when you're just focused on the number on the scale and you're not taking the time to really think about what that number on the scale means is that you get caught up in approach and an approach that ends up making the way that you're feeling. Disconnected with what you are making the number on the scale mean? So what I mean by that is that you probably have this thought, like when I am 20 pounds later, everything is going to be better. Then I'll have everything. But you are not really thinking about what that means, like at your goal weight, how are you feeling? Like, what is your energy level? Like, how do you feel in your body? What kind of cravings are you having? You're not really thinking about the details. You just have an underlying assumption that, that weight thing, everything will be better and you'll feel so much better. However, you.'cause you're just so focused on the number on the scale. You're focused on the fastest way to get. And you're not as focused on the approach and how you're treating your body. And so what ends up happening is that as you are on that bandwagon, that level two, and you're seeing that number on the scale, start to improve. You may not be feeling the way that you were expecting that you would, you are probably still having a lot of the cravings that you were, you were struggling with before. You're just really white knuckling it and re at that point, relying on discipline and willpower. Or you may be feeling really hungry and deprived. Like you're trying to be good and to not eat in between meals, even though you're hungry, like just a couple hours after eating and then like for lunch, we have, you're having like your lean cuisine. You see everybody else. Who's your. It seemed like they can just eat whatever they want and get to feel satisfied. And here you are having low energy feeling deprived, being pretty hangry, struggling with sugar cravings, even though you're seeing that number on the scale improve. And so that's where these feelings really start to come up of like, why am I working so hard? I'm still feeling crappy. I'm trying to get this number because maybe once I see that magical number, everything will. Suddenly be okay. And perfect. That's when it makes it really hard to be sticking. And that's when you have so many of those feelings of missing out, why is it easier for everybody else? Those temptations are in a very fragile place. But when you take the time to really think about not just that number on a scale, but what that means in your life and how you want to feel and the approach that you want to take. If you want to be feeling nourished and supported and loved by herself through that journey. If you want to feel satisfied, if you want to be enjoying your life while you are going through that journey and not just waiting until that magical endpoint, when you see the number on your screen. Then you got to be making sure that your approach is making you feel that way. And in that approach, every time you're making a decision, that's supporting your body. You're seeing the. Much sooner, you know, you are noticing like, wow, I had this breakfast that was really nourishing and balance and left me satisfied. And now I'm not bloated for the rest of the day. I don't actually have headaches. I was able to be focused and to work and to feel really productive all the way until lunch. Those little wins are really important to be paying attention to. That's why you can't just be focused on the number on the scale, that number on the scale, isn't going to get you where you want most important thing to be, to start being aware of. Is that a number on a scale is just a circumstance like you step on the scale and there's a number it's a fast. But that number doesn't mean anything. One person could walk on the scale and they could feel so amazing about that. They could be feeling super energized. That could be the best way they've ever seen. Another person could hop on the scale and they could be like, oh my gosh, like, I feel so sick. I am having such low energy. I have never seen this weight. This is like the highest number that I've seen. See how it's all the thoughts that that person has about the number that gives it me. Number is neutral. It has no significance until you tie a meaning to it. So you need to make sure that you are not just focused on the number that you are focused on, what you really want. The number on the scale. Actually. Isn't what you want. How you want to look and feel in your body and the changes you want in your life that really matter. And that is a huge reason why there's the approaches with focusing on calories in calories, out the number on the scale, losing weight as fast as possible. It's never going to get you to level three life boost because it's missing everything that matters. And that feels so fragile. It doesn't feel fun because you don't feel good. And that does make you feel like you're missing out because now not only do you feel crappy, but you're not getting to eat the food that you enjoy, make sure that your approach, you are getting to eat food that you enjoy and you like the way you feel that is the equation for success. Okay. The other thing that is critical and that I work with so much with my clients is starting to partner with your body and to respect. All of these decisions and resisting that peer pressure and not feeling tempted by what other people are eating and not feeling bad for yourself, if you can start respecting your body, all of that is going to be so much easier because you're going to start paying attention to how. The food that you're eating makes you feel. And you're going to start noticing that that tempting food doesn't make you feel good. It's not what your body wants. If you are approaching your healthy changes from a loving and supportive place for your body, if you are doing it because you finally want to help your body to heal, you want to understand what it needs. You want to be giving it the building blocks and the nutrients that your body needs in order to show up and, and help you through your busy life. Then you are not going to feel like you are missing out because when you see someone who can seemingly eat, whatever they want. It seems like they just have it so easy because it doesn't matter how much they eat. They stay a really great weight. That is you comparing your reality to somebody else's Instagram. Hi. You have this belief that you can only be good and can only eat quote, unquote, good food and they can eat whatever they want. And their life is wonderful and they feel perfect and they just look perfect all the time. But that's not the reality is I can 100% tell you right now that if you are seeing somebody. Who seems like they can just like eat French fries and, a bunch of pizza and go drinking and that they are totally fine. They do not feel good. You also have no idea what else is going on in their life. That person doesn't know how good they could feel. And if you are making truly nourishing choices, You are discovering how epic you can feel. That is something that should make you feel empowered. It should make you feel fortunate, should not make you feel like you were missing out. This is a big transformation that my clients have to go through. And it does involve a lot of checking in with your thoughts around food and the beliefs and like where that's coming from and why are having those feelings of missing out at something that you, of course, aren't instantly just going to be like, oh, it's no big deal that there, everybody else is having cake and I'm not having that. It takes repeatedly checking in with those thoughts, seeing how you're feeling and purposefully working through those thoughts and coming up with new thoughts that serve you in a better way. So having thoughts of everybody else has it so much easier? Why do I have to just be good that thought isn't going to serve you? And that's those thoughts are going to make it impossible to reach level three, but if you create new things, And you really are focusing on why you are making the healthy changes. If you're focusing on how great it feels, and you're focusing on wanting to truly be kind to your body and recognizing that those foods are not being kind to your body. And they're not serving you. And that there are lots of great foods that you can be eating that feel really great. That's when you are going to stop having that feeling of missing out and level three there, you never feel like you're missing out. Number one, there's that freedom where you can always have. The cake or the drinks, if you want to, it's always an option. There is no being good and being bad. You get to eat what you want, but most of the time you don't want it because it doesn't make you feel good. So for example, like when you are going out for dinner and if you. Or attempted, you know, especially with, you're just starting to make healthy changes, or if you're starting out and phase two, the body vacation of the jumpstart program, and you're going out and you see all these things on the menu that you normally would eat and you're like, oh, why is this so hard? Like, why are there very few things, or why am I having to ask for substitutions? This sucks. The thing that is fairly helpful and starting to overcome those thoughts is to pay attention to how you usually feel after you eat out. So do you typically eat all the things that you want and then do you feel really uncomfortable and bloated after, and the next morning, do you wake up feeling like the Michelin. Yeah, kind of bloated. Maybe you even feel like a little bit, like you have a hangover, maybe you do. If you've been having drinks, how do you feel there's a tendency in our society to just pay attention to the way food influences us just in the moment. So yeah, the burger and fries. It tastes really great, but that's not all that the burger and fries do, right. The burger and fries come with a side of feeling completely full and lethargic. And maybe they're also making your GI signs so much worse. You have to look at the full picture of the effects. And then what about if there is another. Dish that you ended up having, what if instead you have this perfectly cooked salmon with these really nourishing sides and it turns out that that actually is super delicious as well. When you're out for dinner, then after dinner, you notice. Okay. You actually feel really great. You don't feel bloated at all. You're not having gas at night. You feel great. And you wake up in the morning feeling really awesome. So that epic salmon dish came with a side of feeling awesome. And you realize that even though you felt like you were missing out on the foods that you normally would eat, you actually did enjoy that more nourishing option and you felt awesome. And you're still on track with your goals and feeling good. The more that you start to collect these data points and make these connections of the. Decisions that you make that are respectful for your body and consistent with their goals and the way that they make you feel compared to when you don't make nourishing decisions and the way that you feel after. And you realize that you can still have enjoyment with your food. It's just going to be different. That is how you start to overcome that feeling of missing out This is important to continue to look for that proof because you have to break the norm in order to reach level three, we are in a society where. The majority of people are not eating food that makes them feel good. And they don't know that they think that the food that they're eating tastes really great, and they don't realize that they don't feel good. Most people don't know how great and energized they can feel. They don't realize that it's possible to not be having sugar cravings. They don't know what's possible for them. And so there's always going to be people around you and quote unquote temptations in our normal society, because it's not normal to eat food that works for people. And that sets them up for good energy. It's normal to eat food that makes you feel like crap. So you have to start looking for those data points, collecting that proof for yourself and reminding yourself of why you're doing it. Why you want to respect your body and then showing yourself, oh, when I make these changes, I still get enjoyment and I feel amazing. That is what's going to make it easier and easier every time to make nourishing options consistently, in order to reach level three, you have to stop feeling like a victim. That's a pep talk that I give in phase one. You need to stop feeling bad for yourself. You are not a victim. It's not something that you have to do. Making healthy changes. It's a choice that you get to do. You get to treat your body in a way that feels amazing. You get to learn what your body needs to thrive. You get to start living a life that brings you joy and energizes you where you're no longer having constant headaches and bloating and your skin is cleared up. You get to have that and you get to do that journey. And a lot of people aren't doing it. As long as you are feeling bad for yourself. You're healthy changes. Aren't going to feel good. So in the body vacation, the important things are to remember why you're doing that. It's to learn about your body. You know, the body vacation is not forever, either. It is temporary. But it's always important to not want to just go back to the way that you used to be eating, unless you want to go back to the exact same way that you were feeling and the weight that you were, if you want to feel different, you have to do things different. And that really stems from respecting your body and embracing, learning what it needs, what it enjoys, what your preferences are. It's all about meeting the three life boost else. You have to love what you're doing and the way it's making you feel. It has to fit into your lifestyle and it's about long-term results. You have to want to keep it up long-term you cannot be wanting it to be over. You have to be excited about creating a new norm for you. Do you have to start feeling empowered and excited about the journey that you're on and you need to not worry about what other people are doing.'cause I guarantee other people don't feel good regardless of how they look. If you're seeing that they're eating tons of sweets, if they're drinking a ton, they don't feel good. You have no idea what kind of headaches they're dealing with. Like what kind of GI issues, like everybody's very quiet about those kinds of things. But know that they don't feel good and you get to choose how you want to feel. It's entirely up to you. When making healthy changes. It can be really easy to focus on all of the things that you can't have and not really doesn't serve you at all. What about instead, focusing on all of the things that you can, all of the real food. What about focusing on how many amazing nutrients you are giving your body when you have that nourishing meal? What about experimenting with all sorts of new flavors? You can choose to focus on what you can't have, or you can focus on what you can. And the one thing I want to just reiterate is that with this can, and can't have in this scenario, I'm talking about. Temporary body vacation. When you are taking a break from certain foods that have made it impossible to be listening or understanding what your body actually needs in that case, that is temporary because you're learning about your body, but you should never stay in a space where you can and cannot have certain foods, right. In level three, you need to be able to feel like you can have whatever you want, if you want it. That is what helps you to be in level three, is that freedom because as long as you know that you can have whatever you want and it just becomes a choice of whether you want to feel the way that that food makes you. Then it's up to you. You're empowered. Sometimes you may want to have all that pizza and the drink because it's worth it and you know how it's going to make you feel. And you're fine with that. Awesome. But a lot of the time, you're just not going to want the pastries that are in the break room'cause, you know, it's going to give you a headache later in the day, you're going to be exhausted. And then you're going to be fighting sugar cravings all afternoon, and you have something that you actually enjoy eating. That's going to give you amazing energy throughout the day, and you are in the mood to have a day where you feel really great. That is up to you. So just want to reiterate that because I never want you to. Stuck somewhere where you have to be good and can, and can't have food and fright. Now you're doing some kind of plan and you feel like that is just like, you have to do that. Or then you're going to just like, go right back to normal. Then I'm going to tell you right now, you are not going to make it to level three. You need to be able to ch. It needs to use the food that you need to be eating needs to be because you want to, or because you are on a journey to help your body to heal and to understand your body so that then you are empowered to make those decisions. And finally back to the peer pressure of, you know, especially if you're trying to make healthy changes in your, in your house and family members are not making those healthy changes. One thing I really encourage you to start getting curious about. I know, especially with kids, kids can be tricky. They're used they're picky eaters. They're used to only eating certain things, but check in with how you are communicating the changes that you're making. because that is really going to influence, you know, either your partner or your kids and the way that they. Are thinking about your changes and you know what they're saying? If they're constantly, like, why can't you eat this then coming up with a game plan on how you're responding is going to be important. So are you emphasizing to your family, everything that you can't have, or are you really getting excited about the things that you. Because there's no way that your kids or your partner is going to be excited for you about the changes that you're making. If you're only focusing on telling them the things that you can't have. And this is important to remember again, why you're doing it. If you're making healthy changes because you want to heal and you want to feel your best and you want to have great energy and you don't want to have sugar cravings, are those things that you want for your family as well? No I know for your partner, they have to want that they have to want to be making those changes, but you can at least help them to see all of the exciting things about the changes that you're making. Like you're really enjoying the different recipes and the food that you're eating and wow, your energy is amazing. And like, wow. After going out for dinner, you just feel so much better. Continuing to highlight. That is how they can help to support you. Instead of just continuing to be like, when will this be over and with kids, what messages are you sending to them about food? You know, if you are focused on no, like I can't have those cookies, I have to have vegetable. And you were showing to them that yeah, you would really like to have the cookie, but you're having to be good. And that message, kids learn from you. However, When you're making healthy changes, you can get really excited. Like I love vegetables. They are delicious. There are so many different ways of cooking them. And I get super excited because they are filled with so many good nutrients. Like sometimes I will look up like, it's really fun to be like, Oh, this broccoli has all of these different nutrients. And these are like all the amazing, super powers I am giving my body. I am helping to prevent cancer and helping to protect my owls. And I am like super anti-inflammatory. Like, what are all of the things that you're doing for your body when you're eating that meal? Getting excited about that. Get your kids excited, like, oh, this look at all, all these things that I'm getting when I'm eating this. And oh yeah. I really love the way that I just made, like these roasted Brussels. Like, do you want to try, like, try as you are trying to add more plant diversity and getting to try new things, you know, do they have something that they're interested in trying to, do you want to do like a little taste test at home? What about experimenting and seeing like, which way you like having this color are like, do you like cauliflower, grace? Do you like it pureed? Do you like it in these scrambled eggs? Do you like it in a smoothie? Do you like it roasted having fun instead of feeling like a victim and like you're missing out.
