Hey everyone, I have a new video on Youtube up and while I am sure you have tried so many diets already, there must be a reason why the moment you lose the weight, you start panicking how will you keep it off.
See, the problem is NOT in you but in the way you decided to lose the weight in the first place.
Check out my latest YouTube video in order to understand the biggest mistake you have been making over and over again when it comes to weight loss!
In my latest video I have covered the scenario we have all experienced before: we start a diet and for a while we are so good, so proud to see the number on the scale going down!
And then something happens…we feel like we want some other foods as well. One cookie can’t hurt right? So why does one bite or one cookie turn into a binge?
I have had them and I had no clue where they were coming from!
I thought I was always eating enough (unless I was on a diet:)) but when the dieting would end I experienced something like an out of body experience with my food. I felt like no food was enough to satisfy my hunger.
I learned later on that this is what we call: extreme hunger.
Do you experience signs of extreme hunger? Watch the video below to find out about the signs but also what to do about them!
This is SO basic and yet 99% of you trying to lose weight will try to do things perfectly according to your diet plan without realising that you are trying to lose weight for good not and not as a quick fix.
Hear me out: if you lose weight but you haven’t learned how to have your wine, your cake or your burger at the same time, you will end up with a lower weight and a fear of eating those foods.
Those foods became off limits.
But you still want them so you will slip and cheat on your diet and have them eventually right?
What happens when you do?
You will have a lot of those things because:
1. You feel deprived
2. You haven’t had them in so long and you feel you deserve them
3. You will eat them as part of your cheat day and try to go back to the diet from the next day
The way you lost the weight is the way you have to live for the rest of your life UNLESS you want to DIET forever!
Try to forget about every single rule and include as part of your meals or snacks or some evenings your favourite foods as well.
Just because you push the cravings away doesn’t mean they won’t come back
Knowing how to eat in moderation on all foods is key to keep the weight off and stop the cycle of restrictions and bingeing.
Let me know in the comments if this resonated with you or you still think that eating clean is the right way to go!

You think you are doing the right thing but trying to do everything right, stay healthy, have your vegetables, eat your protein and drink your water.
This puts you under pressure that you need to do things right.
What happens if you don’t? Scary
Aren’t you allowed to change your mind during the day about your food choices?
Aren’t you allowed to have a sweet tooth you didn’t plan beforehand?
Aren’t you allowed to have an unplanned treat at the office?
Being prepared is one thing. Obssessing over it and bashing yourself when you don’t succeed is another.
Bashing yourself leads to not trusting yourself around food.
Bashing yourself means you have no self control and that you lack basic motivation and willpower to go through with what you intended.
Bashing yourself means punishment in the form of more restrictions or bingeing.
One won’t make you healthy but also one won’t make you unhealthy.
The sooner you understand that the reason you can’t lose weight is because you overeat on things you don’t allow yourself ( in your attempts to eat ” clean”) the sooner you will actually reach your weight loss goals and end the restrict-binge cycle.
It’s not just what you eat that can lead to Bingeing but also the way you talk to yourself before and when Eating. Your thoughts imply how you will feel. How you feel will impact how you behave ultimately towards your health goals.
Do these sentences sound familiar?
“I am fat”
“I will never lose weight”
“I need to eat clean”
“I can’t have any sweets because I can’t control myself”….
If you are trying to be good with food all week you are already starting the week from the position of scarcity.
When we are trying to be good, it assumes we have been bad with food before, most probably over the weekend so now the only option for us is to try to eat clean and stay away from the ” bad foods”.
That idea of eating clean until the weekend is a recipe for a bad relationship with food because
1. You will eat things you don’t want and enjoy
2.You will force yourself to.push away any cravings
3. You will constantly obsess over the foods you can’t have
4. You will plan your weekend indulging
However….you won’t necessarily plan to binge. You will assume that you can eat your favorite foods in moderation for the weekend.
That won’t happen though because it never does.
On the weekend you will binge on them because you felt so deprived and because you were so good for five days you ” deserve” a reward
Once the binge is over, nothing will feel.good and you will go back to extreme dieting again and again.
In order to get out you must eat different foods during the whole week so you know how to make them part of your daily life and NOT part of a binge
