Also, if you guys are interested, we do 78 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: have show notes that's basically like an intro to the episode. 79 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: We give you times where we say certain stuff and 80 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: also all links, so you just go to www dot 81 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: Georgie Stevenson dot net, Forward Slash Podcast and everything will 82 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: be in there too. My health journey, it's very much 83 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of girls where I grew 84 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: up very normal, healthy, no body issues, nothing, and I 85 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: finished high school, I started university and previous to that, 86 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: my family is very healthy in regards of like my 87 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: mom only cook whole foods and we just have meat 88 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: and beg and salad and all her cooking have no 89 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: refined sugar and all that sort of stuff. So it's 90 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: kind of funny because I've come full circle. But I 91 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: grew up in a very healthy family, and then I 92 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: started university and I just noticed now, looking back, I 93 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: think you almost want to rebel because I had eaten 94 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: so healthy with my family for so long, and I 95 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: just finished high school. I basically just started eating whatever 96 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: I wanted. I was eating a lot of takeaway, I 97 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: was getting up late. I didn't have a lot of 98 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: drive and motivation. And also I had turned eighteen, which 99 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: is the drinking age in Australia, so I was going 100 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: out a lot and getting that macas after and then 101 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: also the next morning and all that sort of stuff. 102 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: And basically I woke up one day and I was 103 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: ten kilos heavier. And then that is where my fitness 104 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: and health journey begun. And this is probably about four 105 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: years ago. I basically went on every single diet imaginable. 106 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,679 Speaker 1: I have tried them all and basically failed them all. 107 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: And I just remember going through this yo yo cycle 108 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: of trying a diet, losing five kilos, not being able 109 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: to sustain it, and putting the weight back on. I 110 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: did eventually get in this stage a couple of years 111 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: later where I did manage to lose a lot of weight, 112 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: and that was basically I was eating like a thousand 113 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: calories and I was training really long hit sessions, like 114 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: forty minute hit sessions every single day, like sometimes I 115 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: would train twice a day. So I lost a lot 116 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: of not a lot of weight, but I was just 117 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: underweight for sure. And from that I started getting a 118 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: lot of compliments. And I was also on Instagram at 119 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: this stage, and you know, my engagement spiked and my 120 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: followers spiked, and so I was getting a lot of 121 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: positive feedback that what I was doing was correct and 122 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: great and I could keep doing it. I kept on 123 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: this journey of under eating and overtraining for a couple 124 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: of years, and then I started realizing that I was 125 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: getting all these health issues. For example, I started to 126 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: get adult acne and I personally didn't even suffer from 127 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: acne in high school, and I was even getting it 128 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: over my back and on my chest. I had really 129 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: low moods and just up and down moods, which I 130 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: personally am a very happy, go lucky person. I'd not 131 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: usually moody, and I'd even notice, like it would get 132 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: to Thursday and I would be so exhausted from training 133 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: every single day. At this time, I was studying my 134 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: law degree and I was working in a law firm. 135 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: Plus I was in a relationship with Tim, and just 136 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: a lot going on, and I just was so exhausted 137 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: and tired all the time, and I'd get in these 138 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: crazy moods. I also, at this time, my hormone levels 139 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: were completely out of whack, so I lost my period 140 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: for maybe a year. And what people don't tell you guys, 141 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: is when you lose your period, that is like your 142 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: female hormone. So I also lost my sex drive, which 143 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: no one ever talks about. So you can imagine being 144 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: in a relationship and you're just like not interested. And 145 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: my priority was very much health and fitness. I remember 146 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: going on family holidays, and looking back, I don't really 147 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: remember the family holiday, but I remember that I used 148 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: to run every single morning. I was just very consumed 149 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: in this health and fitness bubble, and I was getting 150 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: positive reinforcement from social media, from even friends and family 151 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: and because I wasn't dangerously underweight, no one really pulled 152 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: me up on it. I think maybe one or two 153 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: people kind of noticed, but I even brushed it aside. 154 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: I even went to the doctor when I lost my 155 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: period and he was like, oh, I think you're probably 156 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: overtraining too much, and that was it. That was the 157 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: end of conversation. And in my head, I thought, oh 158 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: my god, how great is that I'm training so hard, 159 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: which now looking back, I'm like, that's a bit crazy. 160 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, I got all these health issues. And basically, 161 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: like I said, I was eating a thousand calories and 162 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: I started putting on weight, which my metabolism must have 163 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: just gotten so slow. And also I started binge eating, 164 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: so I would restrict all week and then Friday night 165 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: would come and I would binge eat the whole weekend 166 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: until Monday, and then because I had literally ate in 167 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: the whole entire cupboard, I would then restrict again on Monday. 168 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: Basically I was in this really vicious diet binge cycle, 169 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: and also mentally I was not in a great place. 170 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: Looking back now, I realized how unhappy and just my 171 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: mental my mindset just wasn't good either. And also I 172 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: realized looking back, I was so focused on health and 173 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: fitness that a lot of things suffered, like my law degree. 174 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: A lot of the time I just scraped past because 175 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: I didn't even care about studying. Health and fitness was 176 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: my number one priority. It would often take over me 177 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: and Tim's relationship, like he'd want to hang out and 178 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, I can't eat there, or I 179 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: have to go and go for a run or stuff 180 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: like that. Where if you look at your life as 181 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: a hole, that's not what health and fitness is supposed 182 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: to be. Long story short, I went on a bit 183 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: of a rent there, didn't I Basically I realized that 184 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: something needed to change, and I started with the physical stuff. 185 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: So I met my pt LJ and we started strengths training. 186 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: She told me I needed to eat more food. I 187 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: also saw a natural path. I also started acupuncture, and 188 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: so a whole host of people supporting and helping me. 189 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: I increased my metabolism. So now I don't track food now, 190 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: but previously when I did, I was eating like two thousand, 191 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: two hundred calories and I wasn't putting on weight like 192 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: that was my maintenance. And now I just eat what 193 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: I want and I maintain my weight. And I also 194 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: started strength training, so I started building muscle, and I 195 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: started healing my metabolism and also healing my relationship with exercise, 196 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: because for so long I had looked at exercise as 197 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: a way to lose weight and look a certain way, 198 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: whereas now I exercise because it makes me feel good 199 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: and because I enjoy it, and I don't have any 200 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: feelings of guilt when I don't exercise, So I've just 201 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: really healed that relationship. I also had to focus a 202 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: lot on healing my relationship with food, because I very 203 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: much was in the mindset that there was good food 204 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: and there was bad food, and you could only eat 205 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: chicken and broccoli if you wanted to lose weight and 206 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: all these different things. And I had to stop using 207 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: food to manipulate my body and start using it as 208 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: health and to nourish my body and my hormones and 209 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:12,479 Speaker 1: my skin and everything. And that was a really big progress. 210 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: So I very much started with those changes, and what 211 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: eventuated is I change my mindset around health and fitness, 212 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: and diets and workouts no longer rule my life and 213 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: take parity. They are something that I use as tools 214 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: to make my life better to make my mindset better, 215 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: and that's what I personally think health and fitness should be. 216 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: That's why you've probably noticed in my content even lately, 217 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: it's less about specifically health and fitness, workouts and what 218 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: I eat, and it's way more about lifestyle and mindset, 219 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: just because I realized that I was very much consumed 220 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: by those subjects and it's quite helpful for me to 221 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: not be a that information all the time. Really long process, 222 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: but oh my god, guys, wasn't worth it. And see 223 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: it was hard because this whole time I was on 224 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: social media. So when I started to reverse, I started 225 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: to put on weight and I'd get comments like wear 226 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: your abs, You've gotten fat now, Like it wasn't a 227 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: nice time. It took like a good couple of years 228 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: to heal the damage, to change my mindset, to get 229 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: in a really good place. And it's only now that 230 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: I can really talk about it, because for so long 231 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: I didn't even understand what happened, and I was so confused. 232 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: So I've kind of figured out now. It was just 233 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: such a big process, and that's the reason why I'm 234 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: so passionate about my message health without obsession. That's in 235 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: my bio. And I'm just so passionate about talking about 236 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: these subjects because I was in a really dark, confusing 237 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: place for so long. And if I I can just 238 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: sort of help anyone who's in that place or even 239 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: about to be in that place, or help them out 240 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: and just sort of give them tools to change their 241 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: lifestyle and get through, that's all I want, because looking back, 242 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: if I had a lot of the tools that I 243 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: had now, my health issues and my mindset wouldn't have 244 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: been that bad, and it wouldn't have taken me so 245 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: long to heal my relationship and my body and all 246 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. So that's why I'm just so 247 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: passionate about this sort of thing. And then a part 248 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: of that healing and recovering process was a lot I 249 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: didn't actually know I was doing it, but I started 250 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: naturally intuitive eating because I sat down and I said, Georgia, 251 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to look to a meal plan. I 252 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: don't want to look to a fitness app. I don't 253 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: want to look to a fitness influencer. I know that 254 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: my body knows what it needs and knows what it wants. 255 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: I want to get to that place where I completely 256 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: trust it, and because I had dieted for so long, 257 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: that felt very far away. But that's something I really wanted, 258 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: and so I worked towards that. So I actually didn't 259 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: even know I was doing this whole intuitive eating until 260 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: I was like nearly halfway out, and then I realized. 261 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm so passionate about intuitive eating because 262 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: it's very much what made me see the light and 263 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: healed my relationship because it's not a diet, it's a 264 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: lifestyle and it's a way of life. And also intuitive 265 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: eating really helped with my mindset of realizing that those 266 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: dark thoughts and how I used to be they don't 267 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: need to consume my life. That's a bit of a snapshot. 268 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: If you didn't know my health journey, I realized this 269 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: maybe a lot of girls. And also if you ask 270 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: someone who's currently in that stage where your health and 271 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: fitness is consumering you, you're in a pretty dark or 272 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: bad place. I would highly suggest getting help. I personally 273 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: didn't because I didn't think I was skinny enough. I 274 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: didn't think I was underweight enough. I definitely knew mentally 275 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: I wasn't okay, but I just thought, I have to 276 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: figure this out myself, but looking back, my process would 277 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: have been so much faster if I did seek help. 278 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: So I definitely recommend seeing a professional and seeking help. 279 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: Make sure that someone you trust. But yeah, that's my 280 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: snapshot of my health and fitness journey. Now I just 281 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: want to read you, guys, an excerpt from my ebook. 282 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: So this is literally just me reading word for word 283 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: from my ebook and just for you to get a 284 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: little taste. This will answer quite a few questions about 285 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: intuitive eating. Okay, let's get straight into it. I'm starting 286 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: on page six of the ebook and it just starts 287 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: with my story. During my crazy journey to a healthy 288 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: and happier me, I realized how strongly I felt about 289 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: helping other girls better their relationship with food and their 290 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: bodies because it wasn't too long ago that I struggled 291 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: so much myself. I would feel on top of the 292 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: world if I lost weight, only to feel like an 293 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: absolute failure if I put it back on. This success 294 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 1: first failure mentality that I had with food and body 295 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: image went on for four years. By being so focused 296 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: on my reflection, I ended up losing sight of how 297 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: I was actually feeling and what it felt like to 298 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: listen to my body. I had low energy, low moods, 299 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: and low self esteem that was completely dependent on weight 300 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: loss and if I had a good food week. This 301 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: was my turning point. I knew what was happening to 302 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: my body wasn't healthy, and I decided to finally listen 303 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: to it. I gave the middle finger to diets. I 304 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: had had had enough and finally vowed to focus on 305 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: what worked my body and what made me feel good, 306 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: even if that meant I wasn't at my leanest state. Now. 307 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: As an intuitive eater, someone who listens to their body 308 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: signals and response accordingly, I begun eating to feel good 309 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: rather than to look good. I immersed myself in healing 310 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: my body naturally with food. My acne cleaer my energy returned, 311 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: and I started to feel like myself again. I have 312 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: realized that diet culture does not take into consideration who 313 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: I am as a person, does not care about my 314 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: individual needs, and assumes we are all the same. I 315 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: finally realized that there is no one size fits or 316 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: diet out there.

Lastly, this ebook has been reviewed 338 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: by qualified Nutriousness Naturally Nina. However, I do want to 339 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: stress this information was not created for women dealing with 340 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: eating disorders, and if you do have eating disorder, I 341 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,239 Speaker 1: highly recommend you seek professional help time to reflect. You 342 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: can't expect to change or improve yourself and your daily 343 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: habits if you're not self aware. I find that taking 344 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: some time to reflect on myself helps build self awareness. 345 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: So by taking time to ask yourself some really important questions, 346 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: you will gain a better understanding of your emotions, strengths, weaknesses, 347 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: and other factors. I then have in the ebook fourteen 348 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: questions which I will read out to you now, And 349 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: I just want you to think about these because I 350 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,959 Speaker 1: feel like a lot of these questions you may have 351 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: not thought about. One how many diets have you followed? Two? 352 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: How many times have you fallen off a diet? Three? 353 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: Do you track everything you eat? Four? Do you always 354 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: try the next new diet? Five? Do you follow people's 355 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: social media accounts because of how they look? Six? Do 356 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: you feel guilty when you eat junk food? Seven? Do 357 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,479 Speaker 1: you always know exactly what you weigh? Eight? Do you 358 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: define your weeks by good or bad depending on how 359 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: you eat? Nine? Do you strive to only eat clean? Ten? 360 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: What do you think it means to eat clean? Eleven? 361 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: Do you compare your body to others? Twelve, what do 362 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: you want your relationship's food to be like in the 363 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: next five years? Thirteen do you ask yourself whether you 364 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: deserve food? Fourteen? If you eat something, do you try 365 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: to make up for it? By the way, you should 366 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: not feel embarrassed by this exercise. It's simply here so 367 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: you can be aware of your current relationship with your 368 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: body and food. So what is intuitive eating? Eating intuitively 369 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: means eating without rules or restrictions. It is about eating 370 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: by listening to the signals, feedback, and cues that your 371 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: body gives you throughout the day. It is ignoring outside 372 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: influences and diet culture that tell you what, how, and 373 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: when you should eat. Intuitive eating is being connected and 374 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: trusting your body's wisdom and instincts. As you treat your 375 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: body with love, compassion, and respect, intuitive eating will fit 376 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: naturally into your new way of living. You won't feel 377 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: worried about which foods you cannot eat or which foods 378 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: are bad or good. And most importantly, you will begin 379 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: the process of having total trust in your body because 380 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: our bodies are truly capable of amazing things. I know 381 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: what you might be thinking. If intuitive eating is so easy, 382 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: then why is in everyone doing it well. This is 383 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: a question I have also asked myself, aside from believing 384 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: that we are so immersed in diet cultured now days, 385 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: we rarely look for other alternatives. I really don't have 386 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: an answer for you, but what I do have lies 387 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: in the next section of this ebook. I will give 388 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: you your very own toolkit to start experimenting with intuitive eating. 389 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: It is a long journey and requires constant mindfulness, which 390 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: I still practice myself. Intuitive eating takes time to adjust. However, 391 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: I promise you it will be worth it. By learning 392 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: to eat intuitively, you will be rewarded with total trust 393 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: in your body, and your relationship around food will be 394 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: completely transformed. I want to stress however, this ebook is 395 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: a beginner's guide to intuitive eating, and therefore there is 396 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: a lot more you can learn. Having said that, I 397 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: want to give you some starting tools you can use 398 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: to create a better relationship with your body and food. 399 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: Step one, change the way you think and ditch that 400 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: diet culture. The word diet originates from an old Greek 401 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: word meaning way of life. Yet when I think of 402 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: every time I've been on a diet, it is certainly 403 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: not a way of life, and it is certainly something 404 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't sustain long enough for it to become a 405 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: way of life. Diets do not make us feel healthy. 406 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: They plan a seed inside our heads that say we're 407 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: not good enough and that we should want to change ourselves. 408 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: Diet culture thrives off people who believe they cannot trust 409 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: their own bodies. Diet culture makes us believe that eating 410 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: less and over exercising will bring us weight loss and happiness. 411 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: I have been on numerous diets that have sold me 412 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: this lie, and the weight that I did manage to 413 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: lose I would almost always put back on, even once 414 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: I've reached my goal weight. It wasn't happiness I felt. 415 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: It was anxiety over the fact that it simply wouldn't 416 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: last and I'd have to start again. It is not 417 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: you who is failing the diet. The diet is failing you. 418 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: If you just got your car fixed or service, and 419 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: you went to drive it only to find it didn't 420 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: work as it should, would you blame yourself or would 421 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: you blame the mechanic? Yep, When diets don't work, we 422 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: blame ourselves. Did you know that ninety five percent of 423 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: women who go on diets to lose weight gain all 424 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: the weight back within a year. So why are we 425 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: thinking there is something wrong with us rather than the diet? 426 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: So why don't diets work? Here are three reasons why 427 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: diets have never worked for me. One diets are not sustainable. 428 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: I can always see results by following a new diet, 429 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: but after as little as two weeks, I realized I 430 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: couldn't possibly sustain it. Therefore, any progress is lost as 431 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: soon as I revert back to normal eating. Two diets 432 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: do not fix your relationship with food. Every time I've 433 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: started a new diet, it would create more rules and 434 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: restrictions around food rather than having a healthy relationship with it. 435 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: Three diets disconnect you from your body's natural intuition. After 436 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: completing a diet, I would go through a limbo stage 437 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: where I felt out of tune with myself and didn't 438 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: know what to eat. I wouldn't know my hunger signals 439 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: or how I should feel. Tip If you find yourself 440 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: tempted to follow another diet, remind yourself of these three 441 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: reasons why you shouldn't. So how do we ditch diet culture? 442 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: The people in our lives, both physically and virtually, are 443 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: constantly influencing us. They influence our beliefs, ideas, and how 444 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: we should feel. So if you are surrounded by people 445 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: who love to talk about what diet they on, or 446 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: how they want to lose weight, how they don't like 447 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: what they look like, it might be time to start 448 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: thinking about creating some space between you and them. This 449 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: might not be permanent, but during the initial stages of 450 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: working on yourself, it will be a lot easier if 451 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: you surround yourself with positive and encouraging energy. Even more 452 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: important in this new age of technology, if you are 453 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: following certain social media media accounts that make you feel 454 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: like crap or that you're not good enough, I would 455 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: highly encourage you to unfollow them asap or mute them. 456 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: I just found this new mute button on Instagram and 457 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm loving it. Once you've done that, you can begin 458 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: to stop comparing and instead try to follow accounts that 459 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: inspire you to the best version you can be. Also, 460 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: follow a variety of people with a variety of body 461 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: types to consistently remind yourself that health comes in many 462 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: shapes and sizes. Tip. If you're constantly falling in the 463 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: comparison trap, try taking a break from social media or 464 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: limiting your time scrolling per day, get back to reality 465 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: and real life for a certain amount of time. This 466 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: will make you feel grounded and help you realize that 467 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: social media is just highlight reels. That was just the 468 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: first initial step on ditching diet culture. I do go 469 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more into it, but I just don't 470 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: want this podcast to go too long. From the ebook, 471 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: you can understand why I am so passionate about this 472 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: subject because a lot of what I'm saying, I'm sure 473 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: you can resonate with. And we almost just accept that 474 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: we should always try and look skinnier or way less 475 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: or eat clean, and guys, it's just not the case. 476 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: A big thing with intuitive eating is taking back control. 477 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: It feels normal for us to go get a diet plan, 478 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: go look at a book, go see a trainer, and 479 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: of course, if you're seeing the right people, all these 480 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: things can be amazing and supportive. But for me, intuitive 481 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: eating was really about taking back control of my mind, 482 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: of my body and getting to decide what I put 483 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 1: in my mouth, how I train, how my body feels, 484 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: and that was really important to me and really made 485 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: me feel good. And intuitive eating is taking responsibility. So 486 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: instead of just taking this easy option where you try 487 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: this new diet and this new diet and try something else. 488 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: It's really about doing some work inside yourself and going 489 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: on this journey because it's not easy, guys, And I 490 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: feel like that's why not everyone does it. Because the 491 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: end product is eating whatever you want, not feeling restricted, 492 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: feeling so happy, not being consumed by what food you 493 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: should eat or what you shouldn't eat, not having those 494 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: negative thoughts associated with food, not being stressed out and 495 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: so like. The end result is what everyone wants, but 496 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: it does take time and work, but it is so 497 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: worth it. I think. Another thing is you need to 498 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: stop wasting so much time and energy or wanting to 499 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: look a certain way, because I guarantee that is holding 500 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: you back from doing so much epic stuff in your life. 501 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: And that was definitely me for four years. It just 502 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: consumed my life. And then the last couple of years 503 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: you've probably even noticed in my content is switched from 504 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: feldom fitness being my priority to having a really good 505 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: relationship with Tim, focusing on my business. Look at all 506 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: these new projects I'm doing, and it's honestly just because 507 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: I have the capacity. Whereas previously, every single thought, not 508 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: every single thought. But I swear every time I'd be like, Oh, 509 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna have for morning tea? What am I 510 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: going to have for lunch? What I'm gonna have for 511 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: afternoon tea? And it was just such a constant loop. 512 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, guys, I am a foodie. 513 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: I love food. I fantasize by food. It just doesn't 514 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: consume me anymore, which is just the best fucking feeling. Sorry, 515 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: I did not mean to sweat them, but I'm just 516 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: really passionate about this. That is it. Guys. I hope 517 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: that answered some questions on intuitive eating and if you 518 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: do have a similar journey, if you're in the midst 519 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: of it, I just want to say, really strive to 520 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: progress and better yourself, because I promise coming out on 521 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: the other end, it is just so worth it and 522 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: it feels amazing. And you girls, I just we're made 523 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: for bigger and better things than just constantly caring what 524 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: we look like and how much we weigh.
