#4: Ask Kate Deering - How to enjoy food over XMAS and still reach your body and health goals
One of the biggest party months of the year with Christmas parties, gatherings, alcohol and sh*tty food.
The temptation and peer pressure to drink and eat copious amounts of food is high, you don’t want to miss out on a “good time”.
You stress about the calories so you restrict throughout the day so you can binge on alcohol and then binge on food to curb your cravings later.
Sounds like a merry-go-round of f*ckery to me! One that I used to be on also.
I remember up until 4 years ago, when this time of year came around, I would restrict my calories leading into the holidays because I knew that I was approaching a 2-week bender of binge drinking, binge eating and feeling like sh*t. My mentality back then was “So I can have fun, I need to restrict”.
Not to mention I was completely unhappy in myself so I drank to drown my sorrows away.
January 1st hit, the “New Year, New Me” set in and I thought all of that binging would be fine because...
#3: Why eating more is the key to restoring your metabolism with Kate Deering
In this episode, I chat with Kate Deering about food and how women actually need to eat more to heal and lose body fat. Do you struggle to keep your calories down to 1000-1500 calories a day?
You're running yourself into the ground (literally). You feel beaten down. Exhausted... And you're stressed out not knowing what or who to believe.
Most fitness gurus try to sell you on the next new restrictive diet...
But you just can’t do it anymore. | get it. I've been there. You feel like you're going around in circles. Thoughts about food control your life. It’s always about what you're going to eat or not eat next.
Recently... I did a photo shoot. We needed to get more professional photos for our ads and marketing. No more bathroom selfies. And | had been eating about 2500-3000 calories a day (which I’m sure sounds shocking to most). I had put on muscle… and also a bit of fat.
In the past, I would've gotten bent out of shape and done all the cardio. I would’ve dragged myself throug...
#2: Everything you thought you knew about hormones is a lie
In this episode, we talk about female hormones and how there is a huge misconception that when a woman experiences painful and irregular periods or menopausal symptoms that she needs more estrogen. I remember when I was younger and I went to the doctors with heavy and painful periods they just put me on the pill! We discuss the implications of low calorie, quick-fix diets on women's hormones and what you can do to educate yourself so you can balance your hormones, improve your sleep, energy, mood, digestion and sex drive as well as build a body you love! Looking better start...
#1: The nutritionist that got me drinking chocolate milk
In this episode, I chat with my dear friend and now business partner Emma Sgourakis - The Nutrition Coach. In 2015 I was lucky enough to come across her article "Defending fruit and other non-complex carbs" I couldn't believe was I was reading, all these lightbulbs were going off in my head! I knew for a long time what I was doing was wrong but there was so much information out there and I was confused!!!! What she was saying in this article made so much sense! I did her Popping the food bubble program and the rest is history.
In this episode, we talk about all the dumb diets we've done and how Emma shifted my view on nutrition. We talk about her work, the people she has worked with, sugar and why women are in so much trouble metabolically and hormonally.
Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they ge...
