Change Your Habits & Mindset For Weight Loss That Lasts | Lainey Younkin

The Health Investment Podcast with Brooke Simonson

EPISODE 106 | Lainey Younkin—MS, RD, LDN—is a Weight Loss Dietitian and Nutrition Communication Specialist based in Boston, MA. Her mission is to help people get out of a dieting mentality and into a healthy lifestyle. She has an “all foods fit” approach and is passionate about helping her clients change their mindsets and habits so they can get results without feeling restricted or deprived. Her practice is 100% virtual, and she coaches individuals one-on-one, through her group program, Makeover Your Plate, and through her membership, The Nutrition Lifestyle Society. When she's not coaching clients or writing nutrition articles, you can find her trying to keep up with her 4 year old and 2 year old boys, drinking iced lattes, or traveling. In the episode, Lainey shares why she’s not a huge fan of calorie or macro counting; how to set up your plate for weight loss that lasts; some of her go-to breakfasts, lunches, and dinners...and more!

(Specifically, what led you to become a registered dietician and eventually to focus on helping people with weight loss?) What are some of the biggest misconceptions out there, re: weight loss? When a person is on the path to sustainable weight loss, how does their life look different from the person who's trying a diet or fad? Which nutrition mistakes do you find that people frequently make before working with you? What are your thoughts about one-size-fits-all diets? (Are there any one-size-fits-all principles that work for MOST people?) Calorie counting? Macro counting? 80/20 for “balance”? (And what does “80/20” even mean?) Cardio vs. strength training? Have you changed your mind about anything (re: nutrition, weight loss, and/or exercise) over the years? Are there 1-2 habits you recommend to every client who’s just starting out on their weight loss journey? What are some of your personal challenges when it comes to sustaining a healthy diet + lifestyle? What are some of your go-to breakfasts? Lunches? Snacks? Dinners?
