How to Stop Yo-Yo Dieting
This week's episode of The UFFDA! Podcast revisits nutrition and the topic of "dieting". Dieting usually brings forth negative emotions, and makes coaches and clients cringe alike. How did we get to that point and how do we get away from that? THAT is what we discuss in this week's episode. Enjoy!
Introduction to Today's Episode - 0:51 --> Today's episode dives into another deep-rooted topic that stirs up all kinds of emotions. Let's try to reframe what we think about diets by going into the why and how this is happening and aim to put an end to it once and for all!
What Does LongTerm Dieting Look Like? - 3:23 --> "Dieting" or starting a diet is usually performed through a short-term focus (ie how much weight can I lose in X amount of time by doing [INSERT DIET NAME HERE]?). Instead of making it a short-term goal, let's start flipping to a long-term mindset and how your diet plays a role in that.
Why Diets Fail People - 7:02 --> What if people didn't fail diets, but diets failed people? When we start creating strict rules/guidelines, eliminating food (and food groups), and restricting food groups, then we not only make things more difficult to follow, but also more unsustainable.
Where Did the Word "Diet" Come From? - 11:51 --> As we as humans like to do, we took the word diet and gave it fancy names like "Keto", "Carnivore", "Atkins", etc even though "dieting" has been around since the 13th century. We dive into the origin and evolution of dieting.
What's Your After-After Pic Look Like? - 12:40 --> You've seen plenty of Before-After photos of different diets and challenges, but have you ever noticed the After-After? Emily and Jordan talk about what does success of a diet actually mean and how to prioritize success for the long-term in the process.
Recap of Today's Episode with Action Steps - 18:06 --> FInal words on how to stop yo-yo dieting once and for all with some added action steps of what you need to do right now to create more success with your nutrition!
