<v Speaker 1>did you and die out? Happy Saturday. Outweigh fam Amy

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 1>here and sitting across from Michelle Pillow pitch again. She

0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>is our Outweigh resident for four weeks. Where here we

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>are on week number three and the last two weeks

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>we've been talking about intuitive eating. So if you've missed

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>those episodes, go back and listen to them. I'm The

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>first one was about diet culture versus intuitive eating and

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>you know how sometimes things show up on line, but

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 1>really what is actually going to work for you? And

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>then the second episode was practical intuitive eating and balancing

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>life and meal prepping and what that looks like in

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>the intuitive eating space. And then today we're gonna talk

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>about something we touched on one of the episodes that

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about as I was looking to learn

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>how to live in this life recovery and not fall

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>back into other patterns. I just didn't trust my body

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't know what means that I'm hungry. I

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I just restricted avenged for so many years

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.639
<v Speaker 1>that I don't even know how to trust my body.

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>And what is hunger? What's subtle hunger? Am I eating enough?

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>What does that even look like? So that's what we're

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna unpack with Michelle today. Yes, it's very excited to

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.559
<v Speaker 1>dive into it. And I think that so so many

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>people can relate to you to your story of like

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>living in those extremes knowing, Okay, I'm so hungry, I'm

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna fall over, or I'm so full, i feel sick,

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and not having much awareness of the in between, which

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>is really what helps you become more of an intuitive

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>either and just know your own body better. There are

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of signs that I think we write off

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>as just being maybe lazy or having some other problem

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that's not simply oh, I just need some food. What's

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 1>like the number one thing you would say to someone

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 1>if they're like, I have no idea if I'm hungry,

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>but I mean I think about food, but I don't

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>really know. I don't like feel my stomach growling. So

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>something I go through with pretty much all my clients

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>is the hunger and fullness scale, and people have can

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>google a hunger fullness scale. It's just a one to

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>tend scale to rate where you are in terms of

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>hungry or full by being like a true neutral tends

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>super full, one super hungry, and noticing like the three

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and the stinks and the four and those middle numbers.

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Often doesn't feel like your stomach grumbling or anything like that. Um,

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>The very first sign of being hungry is usually just

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>thinking about more. Your brain keeps bringing that thought up

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>because it's telling you, okay, like I actually need this,

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and keep thinking about it, plan to eat something. And

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>then other signs might just be feeling tired, unable to focus,

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little irritable, and that kind of like brain fog,

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>feeling that people will blame on every food under the sun.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's just a lack of energy, a lack of

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>calories and nutrients, and so these more vague or subtle feelings.

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>When you pay attention to those and try out like

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>having a snack the next time you feel those things

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and then see, oh, does that actually make me feel

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot better as a mom. It makes me think

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of halt, where it's halt is H is hungry, A

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>is angry, L is lonely, and T is tired. And

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 1>so sometimes they may be I mean adults can have

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>it too. Or like if you're in any relationship and

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you notice that you're being a little feisty or you're like,

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with you? Might be one of those

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>four things that you could address and then have the

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>mood shift totally. I mean, being angry is a very

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>real thing. And focus is something that a lot of

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>people complain about or struggle with, Like I just can't

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>focus on my work. Well, maybe you just need that

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.719
<v Speaker 1>energy boost, Like yeah, you might just not have the

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>calories on board to fuel your thinking. Speaking of thinking,

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>what if I'm thinking about food all day long, but

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like having a sense of hunger in my

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>stomach right well, I mean if somebody is thinking about

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 1>food all day, you could be chronically under eating. So

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're eating consistently but just never having enough or

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.479
<v Speaker 1>not having enough satiating foods. Maybe you're having like a

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>large volume of foods that are very low calorie maybe

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you're only eating salads and so it feels like you're

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>eating consistently, but it's not quite enough to satisfy you

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>or you know. I think of restriction in kind of

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>two different ways. It can be overall quantity or it

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>can be specific types of food. So if you have

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>rules for yourself and you're eating enough quantity, but maybe

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you're stuck in that kind of clean eating mindset and

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you have strict rules about what you can eat and

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you find yourself thinking about food, you're probably feeling deprived

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and restricted in a different way, even if the quantity

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is enough. Okay, I was learning this too, So I

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>went from like restricting like and by that I mean

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe just green juice or nothing, and on top of that,

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>working out way too much, and so I was definitely

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.480
<v Speaker 1>at a deficit when it came to caloric needs for

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>my body. But even as I'm more aware and introducing

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>all types of food to my days, I could still

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>potentially be under eating. And the thought of food all

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the time is a sign of that, Yeah, okay, you

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 1>still could be. And I see it often where people

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>are like close to enough but not quite there yet

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>because maybe they're not allowing snacks. Maybe they're limiting portions

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>of meals, or maybe it is just that mental trigger

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of a particular type of food taking up a lot

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 1>of brain space because you have such an emotional like

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>mental reaction to it. Okay, because as some people might

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 1>be new to them and they're navigating through this, just

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>because I'm thinking about it doesn't mean I'm like obsessed

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.480
<v Speaker 1>with food and that some thing's like I may just

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>need to add like more nutrient DNS foods to my

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to my lineup that day or maybe the day before,

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>like and give it a few days and like then

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>see what happens, right right, look at the patterns. And

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.359
<v Speaker 1>also I do want to clarify you know, this is

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>thinking about food in like a bother some way. If

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 1>you're like planning your recipes for the week and thinking

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>about it in terms of like what do I want

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>for dinner tonight and it's you know, two hours from dinner,

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and like, yes, you want to plan so you can

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>buy things. That's different. But when you feel like you're

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>doing something going about your day and food keeps popping up,

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>then yes, probably something to investigate in terms of your

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>overall diet. And if it's meeting your needs. How do

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>you guide people if they have more active type days

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>versus days where maybe they're not gonna be is active.

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking about intuitive eating and like even planning.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Last week we were talking about the meal prep, but like,

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>if I'm I'm trying to plan, I need to be

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>aware of days that I'm more active and make sure

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>that I'm adding more to my plate. Yeah, I mean,

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>this is a great topic because it's kind of a

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>combo of what we talked about last time and today.

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Because yes, there is some planning. So for example, if

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>you're going to do a workout, and depending on the

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.559
<v Speaker 1>time of day, you're probably gonna want to eat something

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>beforehand because you want to have the energy to be active.

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 1>So having like an extra snack that's going to be

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>mostly cards to give you that energy, it's going to

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>be important. You'll hear a lot of rules and guidelines

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>about eating a certain number of grams of protein within

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a certain number of minutes after a workout, and that's

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>actually not necessary as long as you're eating enough in

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>total over the course of the day. So what you

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 1>want to do to plan for activities and active days

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>is have extra snacks you're probably going to need an

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>additional snack at least one throughout the day, and stay

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 1>really aware of your hunger and fullness because it's not

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>this really straightforward equation like if you do x amount

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of exercise, you're gonna need x more calories. People experience

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>hunger based on activity differently. Some people might be a

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 1>lot hungrier the day after they go on a long

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>hike versus that same day. So having that awareness of

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>your body lets you lets you continue that permission even

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 1>after that like busy active day. Yeah, And I love

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.599
<v Speaker 1>like giving myself the permission that no days have to

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>look alike, and like when I'm going with the flow,

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I try to be as prepared as possible without it

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>consuming me against the fine line when you've come from

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a world of like trying to prep and make sure

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that everything is just right, it's okay to still care

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>about what you're putting on your plate or what you're

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>putting in your body, but also having this permission to

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>go with the flow and be bindy and know that

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>every day is going to be a little bit different

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>or could be right. You're going to prepare and then

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>your body is going to tell you what you need

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of what you've prepared, and even like the you know

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking about last fall, I was marathon training and

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I ran a marathon and like the week after the marathon,

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I ran zero amount at all of course because I

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>was like no break time. But the hunger was still there,

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, so that permission continues, so like, Okay, I'm

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>still recouping from this, still going to eat what I'm

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>hungry for, is still going to have more than what

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>might be typical outside of that like busy, intense season. Congratulations,

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, that's two miles people. That the exact

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>distance of a marathon. That's crazy. I ran one when

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I was twenty years old and I'll never do that again. Ever.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm forty one now or I'm going to be forty

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>one in March, So congratulations to you. That's amazing. Do

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you like it's running something? Is that a goal that

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you said you knew you wanted to do for me?

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.199
<v Speaker 1>I signed up with some friends and I once I

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.319
<v Speaker 1>put my mind to it, I was like, well, I

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 1>guess I should complete this, but I do not like

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.360
<v Speaker 1>running at all? Whatsoever? Is that like your where you

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 1>it's my big Yes, I love it. I find it

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>to be so much fun, and it's it's been a

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>bucket list item. And I randomly was able to gain

0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>entry to the New York City a marathon, So pass

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>it up. That's so exciting. During the race, I said

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm never doing this again, and then afterwards I said,

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to do it every year. So do you

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 1>think you'll do it again? I want to. Yeah. When

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.599
<v Speaker 1>did you start running? Um? I mean I was on

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the track team in high school, so I started, Like

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I've always played sports and run for sports. During high school,

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it was not a distance thing. I did the least

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>amount of distance possible. I did like hurdles and jumping,

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't get into more distance running until college.

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Once I wasn't on team sports. I just wanted to

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>be active and I enjoyed it. Yeah, well good for you.

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I I like to hike and walk now, and like,

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what I used to put this pressure on myself

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.480
<v Speaker 1>to run because I thought this is what I need

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to be doing. I'm supposed to be running. And then yeah,

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I gave myself this permission to actually listen to what

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>my body actually likes. And I hope that others will

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>find that too. It's like I used to kill myself

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.199
<v Speaker 1>at bakerm yoga all the time, and I actually had

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 1>convinced myself that I loved it, and then I didn't

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>go to a class for like a very long time,

0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and I went back and I was like, well, my

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>body does not like this, and like, yeah, I'm so

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>glad I don't feel this pressure that this is what

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I have. I have to go sit in a hundred

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and five with fifty percent humidity room, which for some

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>people it's amazing, and that's great. It had its time

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.440
<v Speaker 1>with me. We weren't going to talk about workouts, but

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that that's another big thing that can show

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>up as a disordered pattern. Just like you can look

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>at food and you can look at your workouts and

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>be like, wait, is this really? If this is this

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>really at my core what I want to be doing,

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you may find that it's not actually serving you and

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.079
<v Speaker 1>you're kind of shackled to it, and you you might

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>have to take the shackles off totally. So now with hiking,

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 1>how do you notice hunger and activity? Do you have

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>go to hiking snacks? Like, how do you plan for that? Yeah?

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean I have to keep bars in my console.

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I keep different nut bars in there that I like,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and it's trouble because sometimes they're there. It actually used

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>to be worse, like when I had a more disordered behavior,

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I restricted certain things, but if I put food in

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>my car to hal for later, I would always end

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>up eating it. I couldn't trust myself, even if I

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>wasn't hungry can be there, and now I can have

0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a whole box of bars in there and it might

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.199
<v Speaker 1>take a while to eat them. But I just try

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>to always have snacks on hand. I always try to

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure I have plenty of water. And even brain

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.319
<v Speaker 1>function is something that I'm thinking a lot of because

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing some brain work. Um, I have a d

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>h D and I don't medicate, but if some people do,

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that's totally great. I think medicine has its time and place.

0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I have medicated before, but I no longer am, and

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying. I'm doing some neurofeedback, and I'm realizing how

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 1>important water and fat are for my brain function. And

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons why I'm hiking out in nature

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>too is for my mental health. Like it's no longer

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>just this, like I'm out doing this as a workout

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>for my body. It's like my exercise routine has shifted

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 1>into more of a mental health category and I'm doing

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>it for my brain. It's more of a mind, body

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 1>soul approach. Yeah, that's how running has been for me too. Ever,

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>since I always ran by myself, and since joining a

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>running club, I'm like, this is such a social thing

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and like makes me feel so good for that reason

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah, and I think that when you can

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>get to a place, and that's my hope for everyone listening,

0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>is that you can feel good walking away from every meal,

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>no matter what it was, and you can feel good

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 1>walking away from every workout, and not every meal is

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>going to be like awesome, like oh yeah, this is amazing,

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to eat that again, but you can feel

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you can feel good about it no matter what you

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you know we're able to eat that day, or what

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you were able to do for yourself, Like, just just

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>feel encouraged by the fact that, like it is possible.

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I just remember being so scared and seeing other people

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 1>live a certain way and thinking, well, I'll never be

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to live that way, Like I'm the

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>only one that's this This quote messed up and I'm

0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>saying that about myself. I'm not calling anybody else messed up,

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 1>but that's how I talked to myself. And I just

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>want people to know the freedom that's out there when

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>it comes to food and working out. Yeah, I mean

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you said you can feel good walking away from a meal.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>You can feel good walking towards a meal, which is

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>often scarcer for people. And I mean the fact that

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>now you're sitting here talking about how important fat is,

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>like fat can be such a huge fear for people,

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and talking about hunger like it helps keep you full,

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 1>it helps keep you doing all the things you want

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to do and focusing on those things. So yeah, it's

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing the change that can happen at Lisa and

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I did a whole episode about fat a few weeks ago,

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 1>so people can go back and listen to that one.

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>And you know, with time, you've got to give yourself

0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 1>grace and you have to be patient. Your body will

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>start to develop those hunger cues. And Michelle was even

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 1>sharing some of the subtle ones, like you might not

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 1>think that wells hunger, but if you give yourself a

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>little snack and then see what happens, it's almost like

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a little your own little science experiment for

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself totally, and each person can do that, you know.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I I encourage all my clients to make their own

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.800
<v Speaker 1>version of the hunger scale after like taking some time

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>to to do information gathering. Because no two bodies are

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the same. Some people might get a little bit irritable

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>when they're at a certain level of hunger, where someone

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>else might start to get a headache at that level

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>of hunger, and someone else might start to get shaky

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>at that level of hunger, and so learning yourself is

0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>a big, big part of it. Yeah, well I love that.

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>And what tips do you have since you just completed

0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a marathon in the fall. If someone were listening right

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>now and they're like, wait a second, I think that

0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I could maybe do a marathon, what are some tips

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 1>that you have for that person? Oh my goodness. You know, ironically,

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>as a dietician, my fueling strategy was not the best.

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I realized it was kind of winging it. But I

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>have learned a lot. So learn your body, practice, practice,

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>practice the fueling on your runs, check in with your intentions,

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 1>why figure out why you want to do it, and

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>make sure it's really coming from a healthy place. I

0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>would say, get involved in a running community. It's going

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to make it so so so much more fun. And

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 1>reach out to me. Let me know, DM me on Instagram.

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.199
<v Speaker 1>We can talk about it. Awesome. Okay, well, thank you

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>for sharing that fun fact. And I didn't know that

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>about you until now, and that's very cool. Like, I

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 1>know that that's such a huge accomplishment. Do you know

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>not that times matter? But it took me four hours

0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and forty five minutes. It took a very long time. Well,

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I have never been a big fan of like driving

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>long distances, and I had to go to a wedding

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that was like five hours away over the summer, and

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh my god, I'm good. This was

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>when I just started training, and I was like, I'm

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be running for the same amount of time

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.439
<v Speaker 1>that I'm driving on this trip right now, and I

0:17:55.440 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>think I'd rather run. That makes me crazy, I guess,

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:04.239
<v Speaker 1>however long it takes you, whatever your time is, like

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it is, you know, just setting your mind to something

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and accomplishing it, whatever that might be, is super awesome.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>And I'm glad I went ahead and did it something

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like that when I was because definitely not doing it now,

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I have new goals boks now, thank you so much
