Losing Weight without Losing Your Mind (formerly the More Mindful Podcast)

Welcome to the Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind Podcast (formerly, the More Mindful Podcast) — where we make weight loss sustainable (and dare I say, enjoyable?!) by changing how you think, instead of just changing what you eat.

Hi, I'm your host is Julia Lynch— your down-to-earth double-certified macro-nutrition coach, integrative health enthusiast, and fellow recovering "starting over every Monday" girl. I get it because I've been there: obsessing over every bite, working out twice a day, and still feeling like I was failing.

Here's what changed everything: I stopped expecting overly-restrictive diets to work for me (they don't!) and I started working with my brain and body, instead of against it.

Now, I help overwhelmed, high-achieving women (you know, the ones juggling EVERYTHING, while her inner perfectionist yaps away at her all day) lose weight without making it their full-time job or giving up Friday night pizza. What’s the point of losing weight if it makes you hate your life?

Through my Rooted Method, I combine mindful eating and macro tracking with practical nutrition hacks and the mindset shifts that actually stick, so you can finally stop the mental gymnastics around food and lose weight without the drama…

Each week, we're diving into real conversations about the thoughts keeping you stuck, simple nutrition strategies that work with your actual life, and tools to help you trust yourself around food again.

Because here's the thing—you don't need another meal plan. You need to stop believing that becoming “that healthy girl” is out of reach. Once you shift your mindset to believe it IS possible, I promise you things will start falling into place. And this podcast is your gateway there.

001: How does eating more help me avoid binging on snacks & treats?

August 06, 2024 • Julia Lynch • Episode 1

This episode is THE episode that had to be first.

I wanna tell you WHY you must eat more than you think.

I'm gonna kinda walk you through two different reasons, two different frameworks for why eating more is going to help you eat less and why eating more is going to help you have fewer moments of self sabotage and not feel as out of control around food.

The first is mental and it's based on the thoughts you’re telling yourself and really the way that your brain's reward circuitry. I can actually tell you why your brain is making it hard on you when you create a list of forbidden foods.

And second, I want to talk about the metabolic and hormonal perspective (yup, eating less may be hurting your metabolism). There’s a mechanism inside your body that is driving up your hunger when we cut calories too much, and I want to walk you through it!

I will tell you exactly why restriction actually causes overeating so you can start reframing how you look at food and eating - and hopefully, it will help you get better results, even faster!

If you only listen to one of the first 3 episodes - make it THIS ONE & then come message me and let me know what you think!
