Lack of sleep driving those poor eating patterns? Grab n Go?
In today's episode, Linda is discussing “sleep” from the SHMEC model, (SHMEC is discussed in previous episodes, she invites you to listen to them if you are not sure what she is on about:-) We use “sleep” from Dr. Jade's SHMEC model to assist us in relation to minding our weight. According to Allan Rechtschaffen “sleep is a biological necessity in its own right” not sleeping well has been proven to affect weight. If you are sleep restricted or deprived your eating behaviours may become more of a grab and go style. Maybe you are relying on lots of carbs? That could be because of fatigue. You cannot be bothered with the effort of eating well. The higher eating centres in the brain decide they need comforted and you deserve high fat high carb meals. We all know what those types of meals do to us. But, in order to do something about it, you need to get some awareness around the subject. And so, Linda has provided some explanation within this episode. In the next episode she dives into her own story. She will also be chatting to her husband about their experiences with sleep and its ultimate effect on weight. “Helping busy women positively mind their weight changing and maintaining for the long term” Linda Allison KEY TAKEAWAYS Thomas Edison is said to have slept 3-4 hours per night and demanded his employees adopted a similar regimen. Linda would have been dead on her feet and sacked. Her appetite would have also been all over the place! Sleep is tightly controlled by circadian and homeostatic influences that defy tinkering about with over long periods of time. This could adversely affect weight minding. If you are 40 years plus, maybe you have noticed that you are not sleeping as well as you used to? Perhaps you are perimenopausal? Is this driving poorer eating behaviours? Are you so tired that you are relying on grab and go food more often? Do you know the difference between sleep restriction and sleep deprivation? BEST MOMENTS “The point is, let's talk “healthspan” rather than “lifespan” “I did not have any history at all of sleep disruption up until I became perimenopausal” “I have bumpy nights that can last more than one night.” “If you're doing everything right but not seeing results with fat loss and weight management then you are not doing everything right.” “YOU have the ticket within you to food freedom, body freedom and mind freed” VALUABLE RESOURCES Education Source: “Nutrition, Fitness, and Mindfulness” Jaime Uribarri et al CONTACT METHOD INSTAGRAM - @allisol (DM her) FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mybrilliantbeyond (DM) www.weightminders.club

Watermelon Makes You Fat!?!
In today's episode, Linda is still discussing sugar and the contradictions/confusions around eating it in all its forms. The effect of that confusion on someone who might have personal struggles around their own weight and wellbeing. There is a little bit of public education around the Glycaemic Index, BMI and how they are not particularly good barometers of health at individual level. “Helping busy women positively mind their weight changing and maintaining for the long term” Linda Allison KEY TAKEAWAYS Linda never ate watermelon for years because she thought it made you fat. How comparing yourself to “Sally” on IG or “Jeannie” on FB adds to the conflict and confusion with yourself. Furthering understanding of fat loss and weight management part art and part science. There is always a bit of education because that is partly what is wrong. We are talking Carbs and Pure Glucose gals! A life of just chicken and broccoli is boring (if you let it be)! BEST MOMENTS “135 cookies – 84% of them ended up in Low GI, 12% medium GI and only 4% high GI,” How come? “77 pasta items – 64% low GI, 29% medium GI and 8% high GI” How come? “Especially if they are telling you not to eat something like watermelon because it is 72 on the GI index.” “If you're doing everything right but not seeing results with fat loss and weight management then you are not doing everything right.” “YOU have the ticket to food freedom, body freedom and mind freed within you” VALUABLE RESOURCES CONTACT METHOD INSTAGRAM - @allisol (DM her) FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mybrilliantbeyond (DM) www.weightminders.club linda@weightminders.club ABOUT THE HOST Linda is a certified fit pro and transformational coach passionate about fitness, food and nutrition.

Are you overweight because of your sugar and food addictions?
In today's episode, Linda is asking the question, do you honestly think you are addicted to food or sugar, just like someone would be addicted to a narcotic? Is this possible? Is there any robust evidence? Or is it just a load of scaremongering just to take your money and leave you feeling like a failure? We need something more practical and useful to help us mind our weight over the lifespan. Being able to do this will help negate the risk of serious illness caused by over and under eating. Being told or feeling like you are a sugar addict does nothing to help you change. Linda will also be explaining a teensy bit of the helpful science behind the gut brain axis and how it is different from those higher reward centres. She also talks about the DSM5 – a bible for “addictions” How does the SHMEC (episodes 12& 13) model help you to begin to practise saying "no thanks, I'm good" AND that is the truth! . “Helping busy women positively mind their weight changing and maintaining for the long term” Linda Allison KEY TAKEAWAYS Food acts on the brain through 3 main parallel circuits. The higher brain centres are the bits that make the decisions about what you eat. Should sugar be regulated just like dangerous drugs? People develop a psychological compulsion to eat, driven by the positive feelings associated with eating. How we blend SHMEC (episodes 12 & 13) with science and mindfulness. BEST MOMENTS “you are probably not a sugar addict” “If sugar was so addictive would you just consume sugar lump after sugar lump?” “there is a lot of temptation in the supermarkets, hint: they want your money.” “I can say no to chocolate and be absolutely cool about it. Learning how to say “I'm good thanks” took a bit of practise but it works” VALUABLE RESOURCES CONTACT METHOD INSTAGRAM - @allisol (DM her) FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mybrilliantbeyond (DM) www.weightminders.club linda@weightminders.club ABOUT THE HOST Linda is a certified fit pro and transformational coach passionate about fitness, food and nutrition.

How the Pandemic Helped Me Achieve My Fitness Goals
Set smart fitness goals because your body is always changing. Join Linda in today's episode of The Weight Minders Club as she talks you through her personal experience of overtraining and underfueling and shares her five strategies of how to succeed and progress. Learn how to balance your energy, listen to your psyche and physiology and set smart fitness goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your psyche is always battling against your physiology. Often your body is sending you signals to be smart, recover and take on fuel whereas your mind is constantly fighting those urges. Without balance and with too much training you will end up putting yourself in an awful state of stress and overwhelm. By working smarter, you can still do anything at any age, but you have to change. You have to respect your physiology, understand your personal board and the energy that makes you because all of the time your body is changing. If you're at the start of your fitness and wellness journey do not push yourself too hard because it's not sustainable. Be cautious of dieting long-term as things will happen to your body naturally and organically that are out of your control. You just have to set goals and work towards them with a balanced approach.

Fitness is a Feeling, the “look” is a byproduct. In today's episode Linda talks to you about the positive and negative byproducts in fitness, why overtraining will leave you physically and emotionally exhausting and how to gain clarity on your own fitness journey.

Linda's hope is that you can get some more clarity about your own fitness for life as a weight minder. Rather than someone who just goes from undereating, to overeating, to overtraining and not training at all. KEY TAKEAWAYS Overtraining and diets are emotionally and physically exhausting. But It doesn't have to be that way, you can live a balanced lifestyle. Once you're in tune you can work and eat sustainable towards a fitness goal. Everything comes from the unconscious and unaware mind but it must be trained to let go of the negative byproducts that impact on our wellbeing.

When you address your weight through self-respect, presence and awareness you will give yourself the best chance of improving your wellbeing and staying healthy.

Yo-yo Diets, Body Images And Putting Your Health And Well-Being First
Many people put their idea of the perfect body image ahead of their health and well-being. In today's episode of the Weight, Minders Club Linda shares her story of yo-yo diets, battling body image and a radical surgery that saved her life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Becoming mindful and learning how to become a weight minder really helps to negate negative emotions, such as shame and guilt, perfectionism and overcome the real risk of serious physical illness, trauma, and poor mental health. A lifetime of battling with body image had can often leave you with no self-compassion, no self-respect and a dispassionate view on diet, exercise, health and well-being. Simply going to the gym masks our pain and not understanding our issues with body image can allow insidious thoughts to build up over years and years. We can solve the pain of years of mistreating our bodies by adopting transformational tools to become mindful of our experiences, fine-tune our inner cues and allow ourselves to learn to love our bodies. BEST MOMENTS “A lot of women feel out of control and confused about what the diet they're on is meant to help them with.” “There was always this thing at the back of my mind that wanted me to improve my body image.” “Fitness and staying active was so important for me to be sure that I could stay alive and healthy.” VALUABLE RESOURCES CONTACT METHOD INSTAGRAM - @allisol FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mybrilliantbeyond www.weightminders.club linda@weightminders.club ABOUT THE HOST Linda is a certified fit pro and transformational coach passionate about fitness, food and nutrition.

Listing to Your Internal Cues And Losing Weight Post-Pregnancy
When you're focused on weight loss you forget to listen to your own internal cues. In this episode, Linda shares with you the story of her final pregnancy and how she reacted when her weight loss journey got harder. Learn how to listen to your body, beat feelings of shame and guilt and why negative emotions only make reaching your goals harder. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you're focused on tracking your weight loss you start to rely on the app and not your own metabolism. You don't rely on your own internal cues such as sleep, hunger, energy or even your mood. Your sole focus becomes losing weight and even if that's just water, you lose all self-compassion and end up with shame and guilt when weight is put on. Feelings of shame, guilt and comparisons are negative emotions driven from dealing with issues with body image. These issues often occur from childhood experiences and ultimately affect your energy, how you act and your relationships with food, family and health. When you're actively practising deprivation you're unaware in your mind of the effects it's having on your body. When you're in a cycle of dieting you fluctuate between deprivation and overindulgence and only when you discover the root cause can you break free from the cycle. BEST MOMENTS “My metabolism had basically stopped responding naturally after my first two children” “Our emotions can be driven from the fact you've been dealing with body image issues you're whole life.” “Once you experience negative emotions they're perpetuated and everything becomes harder.” VALUABLE RESOURCES CONTACT METHOD INSTAGRAM - @allisol FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mybrilliantbeyond www.weightminders.club linda@weightminders.club ABOUT THE HOST Linda is a certified fit pro and transformational coach passionate about fitness, food and nutrition.

Become Fitter, Happier & Healthy (How Adverse Childhood Experiences Affect You)
Did you know that our own adverse childhood experiences can have a very real and compounding effect on our health? Join your host and transformational coach, Linda Alison as she explores and reflects on your health and wellness journey and recognises the emotionally and physically exhausting consequences that years of dieting don't see. Learn how to become a Weight Minder and how you can become fitter, happier and healthy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your lifestyle changes and weight minders approach can be about sustainability variety, balance, and moderation instead of the old dieting techniques of avoidance and desperation. Changes to your health and well-being should bring about self-respect and self-compassion, replacing old habits and patterns with new healthy transformations. Adverse childhood experiences in your past may be the cause of your pursued perfectionism. They may cause you to compare yourself with others subconsciously and over time these experiences compound and can affect your career, family relationships, financial commitments and overall negatively impact on your life. Often these people that post in community groups asking for help are actually crying out for help and an answer to their problem, this is where they fall into the short-term solution of a diet but they're not actually addressing the real issues that may cause negative relationships with food, diets, health and well-being. How can you be a Weight Minder if you don't know where to start? If you're still physically and emotionally exhausted from constant dieting that doesn't seem to work it's often because you haven't discovered the root cause of your trauma, the adverse effect childhood and adult experiences have had on your life. BEST MOMENTS “I don't go on the scales now because I've learned to tune into my own internal cues, but that's taken a lot of practice.” “Going to the gym too much had an adverse effect because it affected my energy balance because I wouldn't fuel myself properly.” “If you don't understand the balance of energy your body needs and the hormones it produces you won't understand how to improve your overall health and well-being.” CONTACT METHOD INSTAGRAM - @allisol FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/mybrilliantbeyond www.weightminders.club linda@weightminders.club ABOUT THE HOST Linda is a certified fit pro and transformational coach passionate about fitness, food and nutrition.
