    033: The Arm-Sculpting Diet

    The first question I'm always asked: "What should I eat?" They crave that step-by-step guide, hoping it will be the key to finally losing the fat and toning their arms. Today, we’re diving deep to unravel not only what to eat but how to think about food in a way that actually moves you toward your sculpted-arm goals. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why you look at food as 'good' or 'bad'. Hint: Your parents and teachers may have unknowingly shaped this view. Self-Judgment Around Food Choices – If you’ve ever felt guilty for indulging, we’ll break down why and how to shift that mindset. The Forbidden Food Trap – What actually happens when we treat certain foods as off-limits, and how to avoid falling into it. Finding Freedom with Food Choices – Learn how to enjoy all foods without feeling deprived or out of control. Helpful vs. Treat Foods – The balance you need to allow for both “helpful” and “treat” foods while staying on track. Imagine feeling confident about your food choices without needing a strict prescription of what and how much to eat. My goal is for you to walk away from this episode with clarity and the tools to eat in a way that aligns with your goals and body’s needs. So, even if you’re thinking, “What should I eat?,” this episode promises to give you more than a meal plan—it’s a powerful episode in food freedom.   Check out the Arms By Kristine Program HERE Let's connect on Instagram!

    029: Ditch the Guilt: The Secret to Overcoming Mistakes

    Last week, we dove into the "learning trap," where gathering knowledge feels productive but often delays real action. Learning feels good - it doesn't force us to make changes. But this week, we’re shifting the focus to what happens when you do take action, and it doesn’t go as planned. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I should have known better,” and spiraling into guilt and shame after a mistake, this episode is for you. When it comes to changing your habits and sculpting your arms, shame keeps you stuck with your head in the sand. You don't ask for help and sabotage your progress. Join me in this episode as I unpack why beating yourself up after a slip isn’t helpful and how to stop the shame cycle in its tracks. I’ll teach you how to leave the judgment behind, approach your setbacks like a scientist, and stay committed to making lasting change in your arm-sculpting journey. You’ll walk away knowing how to push past your mistakes and keep moving toward the results you deserve!   The Learning Trap - last week's podcast episode!
