James was constantly on and off the diet wagon. He tried Atkins, South Beach, Calorie tracking, and intermittent fasting. He lost weight with all of those. They all worked … for a little while. But they felt restrictive and burdensome. And he would always quit and gain all the weight back. He lost and regained the same 20 pounds for years and years. Sound familiar?

He started to think - I’m different. There’s something wrong with me.

Then he thought - Maybe I just need to find the “right diet”.

But then he found a totally different model … a totally different approach to losing weight and being healthy.

Listen to James tell his story from years of struggle, mental turmoil, and a toxic relationship with the scales … to … low-stress success with his body.

Here are some snippets from his story . . .

I could stick with it for a few weeks, but I could never do it for long.

I was going through this cycle where I would get on the scale after I ate bad and then I would feel terrible about myself.

If the scale went down, I was happy. If it went up, I was mean to myself and to others.

I felt terrible, weak, and undisciplined.

Should you eat carbs? Should you not eat carbs?

Should you eat eggs? Should you not eat eggs?

I thought I just needed to find the right diet.

What is BMI?

Is BMI accurate?

Is BMI outdated?

Is BMI a good indicator of health?

How do I get BMI down?

The good ol’ BMI. It’s been terrorizing people for many many years. We all know how it goes, right?

Go to your doctor. They weigh you. Then they show you the BMI chart and tell you that you need to lose weight. And you go home and cry because what the BMI says is such a low number and you feel like there’s no way you’ll ever get there.

You’ve been trying to lose weight for so long! And it’s just so dang hard!

If you connect with any of this, then this episode is for you.

It’s time to ask some questions, demystify, and debunk the Body Mass Index. Plus, I’ll provide some very specific steps on how to find your “best weight range”. Grab a pen, you’re going to want to take notes!

Sometimes I have an interaction on a coaching call and I’m like “this is pure gold”. And I KNOW it would be so helpful for all of you amazing podcast listeners, but I totally respect that those conversations are private and I usually just let it pass. But every now and then I might reach out to the person and ask for their permission to share it on the podcast. That’s exactly what recently happened and exactly what this episode is all about.

It’s not perfect or scripted. It’s real, raw, honest, and off the cuff.

Interestingly, I believe it’s a great follow-up to the last episode, because we talk a bit about goals and what’s next for Audrey. As she was talking, I don’t think she realized it at all, but there’s just so much truth and so much insight. And I wanted you to get a glimpse of what REAL life-changing results sound like.

This podcast is all about being real - REAL people … REAL goals … REAL results … REAL insights … REAL life change. Also . . .

If you want to know how to achieve your pre-baby weight, then you might want to listen to what Audrey has to say ;)
