When we talk about weight loss, ideally what we are meaning is fat loss, not muscle loss. But the reality is that with all weight loss, there is a degree of muscle loss – somewhere in the range of 25-40%. I believe that instead of talking about weight loss, we should be discussing body composition – because improving body composition (decreasing fa…

Many commercial weight loss programs operate on the assumption that you don’t know what you should be eating. So, they’ll give you a diet or meal plan to follow and that will make you lose weight. That works – in the short term. But over 80% of people will regain that weight. Alternatively, maybe you’ve tried using a food tracker, something like My…

Many years ago in my obesity medicine practice, I had a realization. Just telling people what to eat was never the answer. Diets alone don’t work. You go all-in on a new diet, just to fall off the wagon a few weeks later and lose the same 10 pounds on and off. The problem was, diet culture was fuelled by shame and self-punishment, not self-compassi…

Can you relate to this? Feeling like it’s “not fair” that you have to work so hard to eat healthy, when other people don’t seem to think twice.

If it truly…

No one wants to sabotage their own progress, but why do we do it anyways? It may sound like: “I know how to lose weight, I just can’t keep it off” “I always self-sabotage” “What if this doesn't work for me and I gain the weight back?” It happens when we get tripped up by self-defeating thought patterns. Imagine if you could change them to more help…

In this week’s episode, I talk about a topic that has been under debate for many decades. Contrary to what you may have been told, dieting is not the solution but the problem itself.

When it comes to our health goals, one of the most significant obstacles is continuing to feel motivated.

What if I told you that quitting can also be a positive thing? It can actually be an empowering choice to let go of what no longer serves our purpose or aligns with our values.

Stop giving away your power and personal ownership to weight loss programs (including mine!). “If I follow this program, then I'll get results” or “How is this program going to create weight loss for me?” And that's exactly what diet culture promotes. It tells you that if you follow a set of food rules perfectly, you will lose X amount of weight. T…
