#72: Why we need to change our beliefs about losing weight

Women's Health Unwrapped

Do you only think about food if you need to lose a bit of weight? Does not having a weight problem mean that you’re okay to eat whatever food you like?

The beliefs we have about the role of food in our health are behind so many of us spending a huge proportion of our lifetime obsessing about which new diet to try and battling to lose weight. We’ve been conditioned to believe that a diet is the answer to losing weight. But is this true?

Today’s guest is a nutritional therapist who works with women over 40 to support them with losing weight the right way. Louise Digby is passionate about helping women to know the truth behind diets and food, and why the answer to your weight loss goals doesn’t just lie in the amount of food that you eat.

Join us in today’s episode as we talk about:

  • What a diet really is and why it’s time to change how we use the word diet.
  • The different factors that contribute to our weight and the results we have around weight loss.
  • Why calories are not the route to losing weight, or building strong health.
  • The role of the gut in weight management and your overall health.
  • How to start taking steps to focus on having good gut health.
  • The impact menopause has on women’s weight.
  • Whether women can lose weight in the menopause stage of life.
  • Why it’s time to change what we know and create different beliefs about the role of food in our lives and health.
