I talk with podcast listener Brooke Streufert, who spent most of her life hopping from one diet to the next, until she started listening to the Weight Loss for Foodies podcast two years ago. Tune in to hear Brooke’s journey, and how her decision to ditch dieting and start listening to her body changed her entire relationship with food and eating, and did what she never thought was possible: she, along with her husband,  lost weight without dieting, and gained a whole new perspective on life!

One of the reasons why so many people weigh more than they’d like, and keep gaining weight, is because they use food to meet needs that it can’t meet.  It can’t be your friend or lover. It can’t quell your fears. All food can do is give your body fuel and make your hunger for that kind of nourishment go away.  Tune in to learn how to get in touch with your needs and work towards meeting them in a lasting, meaningful way, and notice how your urge to eat when you aren’t hungry dissipates. 

Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food?  Are you stuck on a weight loss plateau? When you set certain reasonable limits on your eating, does it feel like restriction? I recently received these questions from listeners, and am excited to answer them on this week’s episode. Tune in, and we’ll explore these issues and come up with solutions for you.  Head on over to my website, Shari Broder.com, and grab some free resources that will help you!

Are you afraid of being hungry, even though there is no shortage of food in your life? Do you eat when you aren’t hungry because you’re afraid to feel hunger?  Just like how your brilliant body tells you when you have to urinate, it tells you when you need food for energy. When you feel hunger, that’s your body saying, “I need food now.”  The good news is that you can easily get over this fear. Tune in to learn why the idea of feeling hungry makes you anxious and how you can overcome it.

Do you eat because you're bored? The kind of bored where you have lots to do but don’t want to do it?  I recently asked my fantastic Facebook group, Ditch the Diet Tribe, which emotions caused them to want to eat when they weren’t hungry.  Two out of three responses were BOREDOM. In this episode, I’m concerned with boredom that has you running to the kitchen for something “interesting” -- FOOD! Tune in and learn how to manage that boredom so you don’t eat to avoid feeling it!

Do you think you really want to lose weight, but when it comes to actually doing what it takes to get results, it's hard to stay on track?  What you may lack is commitment, a key ingredient necessary for reaching your goals. Most people think they’re committed, but really only desire the outcome. Tune in to learn the difference between desiring something and actually committing to getting results, and how to commit to doing what it takes to reach your goals. 

When you embark on an effort to lose weight, do you start thinking about how much weight you should be losing each week, & how long it will take you to reach your goals? That approach is a sure route to becoming discouraged & quitting. It’s a diet culture mindset. Tune in and learn why it’s so important to give up on the BS fantasy from the diet industry about how weight loss is supposed to happen, & approach it at your own realistic pace. And how to overcome the fears you may...

I think about emotions a lot. Not just because I teach people how to kick the emotional eating habit so they can fix what’s causing them to overeat. I think about them for other reasons, too.  Emotions play a large role in both my work and home life.  Tune in and learn why being human is not just about feeling happy, it’s about feeling everything, and the importance of befriending all of your emotions. 

Do you wonder what you “should” weigh? In this episode, I discuss whether Body Mass Index is a legitimate measure of a healthy weight; what factors play into determining your weight; hat set point is and whether you can alter it; how dieting negatively affects your ability to change your weight; and how you can determine what is a healthy weight for you.  If you enjoy this episode, please feel free to rate and review the podcast on whatever app you’re listening on, and share with a friend!

Do you know why people gain weight? Overeating. Yep. There’s no escaping that fact! Overeating every now and then isn’t a big deal. But if you are someone who feels like you can’t stop overeating, and you do it regularly, then it’s very likely that you’ve gained more weight than is healthy or comfortable for you. Overeating is actually a symptom of something else going on in your life. It’s a coping mechanism. Listen to learn how to end the cycle of overeating for good!

You’re not imagining it.  Stress makes people want to eat.  If you’re an emotional eater, when you’re stressed out, you’re more likely to feel the urge to eat. That’s because when your body feels stress, it produces certain stress hormones which cause you to crave comfort foods. Too much stress upsets your hormonal balance, making it harder to lose weight and easier to gain it.  Listen to learn more about how stress makes weight loss harder and how you can manage stress and, feel better.

You know the feeling. You feel a strong urge to eat, but you aren’t hungry. It’s undermining your weight loss efforts, but you find it so hard to not give in whenever it arises!  Perhaps by now you’ve realized that this feeling is an emotional and not a physical need. After all, you’re not hungry, so your body doesn’t need food to nourish it. Tune in, and I’ll tell you where the urge comes from and how you can manage it without emotional eating. 

Do you obsess about what you should and shouldn’t eat?  Do you feel guilty enjoying the foods you love? It pains me to hear so many women talk about being afraid to allow themselves to enjoy food, hearing them and waste so much of their precious energy worrying about what to eat.  Learn why, once you’ve taken away the restrictions about what to eat you can experience that amazing freedom of getting your life back from the dungeon of diets, and lose weight at the same time! 

Are you waiting until you lose weight to put on a swimsuit?  Or do anything else you really want to do?

You’ve heard many times that diets don’t work.  You’ve tried a bunch of diets, and maybe you lost some weight on at least one of them. But then what happened? I’m guessing that you gained the weight back. When I say that diets don’t work, I mean diets don’t produce permanent weight loss. You go back to eating the way you always did. And then what happens?  The same thing that always happened. You gain it back.  Listen to learn the only way to both lose weight AND keep it off.
