Show Notes:This podcast episode dives deep into the power of habits and their impact on our daily lives. The discussion focuses on how habits, both good and bad, can control up to 40% of our daily actions. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and mindfulness in identifying these habits and taking steps to change them. By understanding the habit loop (cue, craving, response, and reward), listeners are equipped with the tools to hack their habits and create positive changes. Ultimately, the podcast encourages listeners to take control of their lives by mastering their habits, using practical strategies and exercises.Key Takeaways:Habits control up to 40% of our daily actions. Both good and bad habits can significantly influence our lives.Self-awareness is the first step towards changing habits. By reflecting on our daily routines and the effects of our habits, we can identify what to keep and what to change. Not all habits are created equal. Identifying which habits serve us and which sabotage us is essential to make positive changes. Understanding the habit loop (cue, craving, response, and reward) is crucial to change a habit. By identifying and altering these stages, we can effectively change our habits. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for habit change. Regular reflection can help identify patterns and triggers, leading to better control over habits. Mindfulness leads to better control over habits. Constant awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can help us resist negative habits and make conscious choices aligned with our goals. The power to change is within us. With knowledge, self-reflection, and mindfulness, we can take control of our habits and, consequently, our lives.

Show Notes:We often eat for emotional reasons like stress, boredom, or excitement rather than true physical hunger. Learning to differentiate between the two is key to getting your eating under control, resisting cravings, and creating healthier habits. Tune into your body's signals, identify emotional triggers, and take control of your eating.Key Takeaways:Emotional eating stems from psychological hungers, not physical needs. It doesn't satisfy and leads to overeating. Psychological hunger aims to fill a void, soothe discomfort, reduce anxiety, or entertain yourself.Physical hunger comes on slowly with stomach rumbling, dizziness, low energy. Psychological hunger is sudden and urgent. Cravings for specific treats indicate emotional eating. Physical hunger doesn't care if you eat an apple or cupcake.Rate your hunger on a 1-10 scale. 1-4 is physical, 5+ suggests emotional factors.  Identify where the hunger originates. If not your stomach, it's likely psychological.Wait out cravings for 20 minutes. If hunger persists, eat a healthy snack.Address emotional needs directly through walking, calling a friend, meditating, journaling. Practice mindful eating and tuning into your body's real signals. Take control of cravings and eating habits.

Show Notes:This podcast discusses the science behind weight regain and how to overcome it. It explains that weight regain is normal and not a sign of failure. When you lose weight, your body activates defenses to regain the weight through mechanisms like lower leptin levels, slower metabolism and increased hunger. However, with the right strategies like eating more protein and fiber, exercising regularly, reducing stress and increasing mindfulness, you can fight your body's defenses and achieve long-term weight loss success. Perseverance is key and weight regain does not have to be your fate if you have the right knowledge and strategies.Key Points:• Weight regain is normal and due to biological responses, not a lack of willpower.• Lower leptin levels after weight loss signal starvation to the body, slowing metabolism and increasing hunger to regain weight.• Environmental factors like excess food availability, lack of movement, large portions and stress also promote weight regain.• To maintain weight loss, eat more protein and fiber, exercise regularly, reduce stress, monitor calorie intake and develop a long-term change in mindset.• Perseverance is paramount and every pound lost is a victory. Weight regain can be overcome with the right strategies and persistence.• The science is on your side - with knowledge and consistency, long-term weight loss success is within reach.
