We are back this week with another call with Georgie and her client Chelsea. In the last two weeks, Chelsea has made noticeable progress with managing her treats intake (something with which she has struggled in the past). One big reason for this change in her eating habits is constant busyness.

Together, we explore the impact a packed schedule can have on eating habits and discuss finding the balance between enjoying social treats and feeling deprived. We also touch on navigating partner support, easing back into exercise after illness, and planning for healthier eating during travel.

If you could use some support in shifting from busyness-driven eating habits to a more balanced and satisfying approach, that is our specialty and we'd love to talk! Reach out to us by clicking one of the links below.

Why is it so easy to regain weight after losing it? You follow the plan, you see the scale go down, your clothes fit better, and then somehow the weight comes back. The worst part about weight regain for some people is that it feels like a personal failure. But in today's episode, we are here to tell you the truth: weight regain is a biologically and psychologically driven response. Not a sign of a person being weak, lazy, or lacking willpower.

Join us as we break down a recent research review published in the Journal Nutrients (see The Interplay Between Psychological and Neurobiological Predictors of Weight Regain: A Narrative Review). You will learn how self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and traits like impulsivity, perfectionism, and dichotomous thinking play significant roles in weight maintenance. Discover practical strategies for boosting self-control, managing stress, and employing flexibility to achieve lasting success.

We also explore how brain activity and hormonal changes impact weight and discuss the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy and medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists. Whether you're beginning your weight loss journey or focusing on maintenance, this episode offers insights to help you succeed in the real world.
