248: How Long Does It Take to Change Your Mindset?

If you’ve ever tried to improve your health and eating, you’ve probably heard that carbs are bad for you ? Let’s clarify a few things: First, carbs are essential for good health.  Second, this black and white type of thinking is why so many of us struggle with nutrition in the first place. While carbs are an essential part of our diet, when they are consumed in excess, you have the potential to overflow your gas tank which can lead to high blood sugar, weight gain, fatigue and many other issues. Remember, carbs are not unhealthy, BUT there a few guidelines that are worth following if you want to enjoy vibrant energy and a leaner body.  Press play and join me to learn the basic guidelines for incorporating carbs in your diet.  When you’re ready to take the next step, here’s how I can help. ⭐️  For Women Over 50: Discover the 3 Steps that have Helped 100s of Women Achieve their Happy, Healthy Weight, Permanently and Naturally, Without the Obsession: www.fitvibrant50.com ⭐️ Join the Fit + Vibrant Women Facebook Community! ⭐️ Subscribe to the Fit + Vibrant YOU Podcast on your favourite podcast player.

247: Carbs, Vibrant Energy + Fat Loss

 Greetings friend! How do you feel about things opening up after over a year or so in lockdown. Are you excited? Are you nervous that the parties and gatherings will derail you from your healthy habits?  I've had many questions in the past weeks from listeners and clients about overcoming the stress and anxiety around food when things open up.  One listener wrote "I found that covid restrictions (less socializing, no restaurants, extra free time to exercise) worked for me. Now that everything is opening up and we are eating out more, more get-togethers, etc., I am finding it more challenging. I truly want to make it a new lifestyle and not a diet." This is such an important question! I want you to feel good in your body AND live your life. I don't want you to ever feel like you need to choose between getting a body you love and enjoying vacations, parties and other celebrations. There's a way you can have it all.  Press play and let's work through these challenges so that you feel confident that you can enjoy going out AND have a body you love.  When you’re ready to take the next step, here’s how I can help. ⭐️  For Women Over 50: Discover the 3 Steps that have Helped 100s of Women Achieve their Happy, Healthy Weight, Permanently and Naturally, Without the Obsession: www.fitvibrant50.com ⭐️ Join the Fit + Vibrant Women Facebook Community! ⭐️ Subscribe to the Fit + Vibrant YOU Podcast on your favourite podcast player.
