#347: Weight Loss Specialist Amanda Valentine on Losing Over 100 Pounds, How She Overcame Binge Eating and Developing The Mindset For Long Term Fat Loss!

Amanda is PN1 certified nutrition coach, weight loss specialist and award-winning radio personality and podcaster.   In January 2012, she made a New Year's resolution to stop dieting and to start making the best decision in every moment. She resolved to just do the best she could, to stop forcing herself to eat vegetables she hated, and to stop paying for gym memberships she'd never use. Slow steps, small goals, and a lot of determination helped her to lose over 100 pounds and keep it off.   She is living proof that dedication, passion, and strength can be ignited in anyone. Her positive messages of health and wellness are regularly promoted on the radio, on her podcast, and throughout social media, where audiences are always eager to hear more about her weekly meal prep process, daily fitness workouts, and her fun-loving outlook on life.    Amanda is not only lively and personable, she shows others how it is possible to change their lives, break old habits, and even have fun while doing it.    I was on Amanda's show a few weeks ago and absolutely loved her energy (and story) so I'm delighted she could join me for this podcast.   This is a must listen for anyone on a weight loss journey or for those who feel too confused and/or overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting weight loss advice out there.    Here are some of the things we talked about in today's episode.        How she lost 100lbs by walking more and just making a few dietary changes     How that transitioned from walking to finding a new love for strength training and running     How to beat the feeling of overwhelm when you have so much weight to lose     How she used to binge eat to the point of pain and how she overcame it     The sad reality of losing friendships a weight loss journey      And much more.    Shownotes:    Her book   Bite This!
