229: Why Perfectionists Lose Weight Faster

from Weight Loss Forensics: FBI Tactics to Investigate Cravings, Overeating, and Why Diets Suck · host Holly Bertone, PMP, CNHP, and Emotional Eating and Weight Loss Coach

I am going to say the unpopular thing, and I know a lot of weight loss coaches will disagree with me. The all-or-nothing mindset may actually work in your favor to help you lose weight, especially if you are a Type-A perfectionist.And, your brain probably just got whiplash, because every therapist and weight loss coach has told you that all-or-nothing thinking is toxic. But if moderation and intuitive eating actually worked, you wouldn’t be listening to this episode right now. These approaches aren’t wrong for everyone. But they might be wrong for you. Together, we will investigate:Why "everything in moderation" is the exact reason why certain women can’t lose weight.The surprising personality type that often does better with an all-or-nothing approach.How your brain negotiates with you during your weight loss journey, and why it usually wins.The hidden downside of "just one bite" that nobody talks about.Why setting stricter rules can actually create more freedom around food.Connect with Holly:▶️ GET ON THE PRIORITY LIST TO BECOME A SUSTAINABLE WEIGHT LOSS MACHINE - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/pl-machine-reg▶️ FREE EMOTIONAL EATING PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE - https://pinkfortitude.mykajabi.com/weight-quiz▶️ JOIN THE BREAK EMOTIONAL EATING ACCELERATOR - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/break-emotional-eating-accelerator▶️ APPLY FOR ELITE-LEVEL PRIVATE COACHING WITH HOLLY - https://wkf.ms/3XtDIKV▶️QUIT SUGAR IN 5 DAYS - https://academy.pinkfortitude.com/register-for-sugar▶️ SUBSCRIBE TO SUBSTACK - https://substack.com/@hollybertone▶️ FOLLOW HOLLY BERTONE ON INSTAGRAM - @holly.bertone If this is your vibe, be sure to hit the follow button where you are listening and also tap those 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and leave a great review.
