    Topics covered:

    It's not forever! The Program is 91 days and that is enough time to make change!Check out the discussion with Dr. Ruth Kane over on the Weigh In with Gina podcast.What sets the Livy Method apart from other diets is our focus on Maintenance.The benefits of solidifying your new habits. When you are not chasing a goal, then what? You are changing who you are; Maintenance is about embracing the new you! Who's my best Self? The most expensive part of the program is the wardrobe you'll need! The educational diet program is not about control and manipulation; it's about becoming in tune with your choices. Evolution of exercise as it relates to dieting. Inactivity is detrimental to health! We want this to be the last diet you've ever done! Why it's important to do as many rounds of the Program as you need. Using the App to keep track comes in handy if you need to press pause for whatever reason. Where do YOU factor into the decisions you are making? Is your body going to f&%# you over? No! You can't go back to how you were! Trusting yourself comes with learning to make better choices for yourself and being in tune with your body's needs. Your body is your greatest cheerleader! Your body is NOT trying to screw you over!Are you for real right now? We want to get better at asking the 4 Questions from our belly, not our brain. How to get from here to there? Learn to trust your body's messages. Be proud of what you have accomplished. Celebrate your wins. Reconnect with what resonates positively for you.Don't beat yourself up! Be aware and get curious about what's going on! It's not about the ______(fill in the blank); It's about what it represents! You cannot eat and think at the same time. Falling back is easier than moving forward. That is why we want to have healthy ways of falling back! Sure, it's fun to do whatever we want, but it's not fun how we feel after. Review the Tweak This Week and go all in on the Food Plan Revamp. We are not done yet!

    The Tweak This Week - Winter 2024 - Week 9

    Join Gina and Program Manager Kim as they answer your questions and break down the tweak that we see in The Program this week. This is the live recording from March 13, 2024.
    You can find the full video hosted at:
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2024
    Topics covered:
    With the Tweak This Week, we are changing things up and phasing off the basic Food PlanReviewing where members are at this week and some of the struggles they’re facingThe importance of continuing to be mindful and asking ourselves the Mindfullness questions - not just adding fat and protein without being mindful of the total composition of our meals and snacksA spoonful of nut butter is not a snack on its own! Hemp hearts are a great addition to add healthy fat and proteinThis week is not Keto. We are bumping up nutrient value by adding some fat and protein - the focus of our snack remains the sameWe are going from two afternoon snacks to one by bumping up the nutrient value of our one snack with added protein and healthy fatAs we move on, we don’t want to be following a schedule but instead, be checking in and assessing what we need throughout the dayHow much protein is enough? This isn’t a deprivation diet where things are limited. When following The Livy Method, you are getting the protein your body needs The importance of trying the tweak even if you’re feeling concerned about going down to one afternoon snackDigging deeper into the afternoon snack and how it should be put togetherWhy we don’t count grams of protein and how we learn to be in tune with our body’s needs in the moment When we’re adding in protein and fat, we’ll naturally find the portion size that satiates us decreasingThere is no right or wrong way to approach the tweak this weekLooking deeper into the snacks this week - discussing high-quality protein powders, if you want to include themThe benefits to starting your day with a higher protein breakfastWe’re looking to minimize heavier carbs this week. If you want to add them in, lunch is still the best option for themThis week’s tweak is setting us up for Personalizing the Plan in the coming weeksNext week we will be introducing Back On Track - a tool to help us get back at it when things go off the rails

I listen every day and love it!

Love the program, but issues with audio

I love Gina’s program and I’ve had success from it. But girl you need to figure out the audio. The last couple of podcasts I have listen too the sound would cut in and out and it drove me crazy. I hope this can be fixed, I can’t always catch the lives so I relay on the podcasts.
