Ep 71 : How to Break Free from Yo Yo Dieting for Good

If you are the person that says on repeat "I will start again Monday" then this episode is specifically for you. In this episode of my Podcast 'Your Mindset Matters', I share my own personal struggles with motivation and the importance of recognising when to take a step back. I deep dive into the cycle of yo-yo dieting, discussing the reasons behind it, such as the desire for quick fixes and the all-or-nothing mindset. We need to break free from this cycle by adopting a sustainable lifestyle approach, focusing on gradual changes, and prioritising how one feels over the numbers on a scale. The episode concludes with actionable steps to create a healthier relationship with food and fitness, encouraging listeners to build a lifestyle rather than just follow another diet.Takeaways Recognize when you need to take a step back. Yo-yo dieting is often driven by the desire for quick fixes. The all-or-nothing mindset leads to self-sabotage. Sustainable weight loss requires a moderate calorie deficit. Focus on adding healthy habits rather than restricting. Your energy levels and confidence are more important than the scale. Small, consistent changes lead to long-term success. Food should be viewed as fuel, not as a source of guilt. Celebrate wins outside of the scale, like improved energy. Building a lifestyle is more important than following a diet.Keywordsyo-yo dieting, sustainable lifestyle, weight loss, mindset, health, nutrition, fitness, coaching, personal development, self-careLinks & Resources⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/vikkicronincoaching/profilecard/?igsh=MWw1YnBhN3F5anplNg==⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://themacrocoach.ie/⁠⁠⁠Thank you for listening.
