233 The diet CAN work but you need to do this first (how to regulate your nervous system for weight loss)

I work with lots of women who want to lose weight - even though I talk about diet culture and the damage I believe it’s done to our relationship with food and our bodies.And my job is not to talk you out of that goal - but to help you create the right conditions to pursue it without burning out, resorting to emotional eating and ending up at square one yet again.In this episode, I’m sharing how to regulate your nervous system for weight loss - and why this (and not the meal plan you choose) will be the biggest predictor of whether your weight loss efforts will actually pay off…and be sustainable.We dive into what really happens when you’re already overwhelmed and then stack a restrictive plan on top of that, how stress affects weight loss, and how to optimise your nervous system to escape the binge restrict cycle. Key takeaways:Why your struggle with weight loss is not about willpower, but nervous system dysregulation.How low-grade stress keeps you stuck in the binge restrict, on–off diet cycle.The difference between your lower “survival” brain and your higher “reasoning” brain when it comes to food choices.How to identify the areas of your life that keep you chronically activated and drain your capacity for change.How to widen your window of tolerance to make sustainable weight loss truly possible.NEXT STEPS:Share this episode with a friendListen to next: Episode 232 - Diet free weight loss: When you can’t face your next diet (but still want to lose weight)RESOURCES:Work with me: www.lifeeditcoaching.comInstagram: @lifeeditwithalix
