Let's discuss this. It can be hard to accept weight gain when you become an intuitive eater, especially if you were praised for your leaner body. But if you've gained weight through tuning more into your body, finding joyful movement, tuning into your hunger and appetite and letting go of disordered eating and excessive exercise, then this is a good thing for you. But it can be hard to accept, listen to how to work through it.

Today's episode of Beyond The Mirror is dedicated to exploring men's body image, the concept of the "dad bod," and strategies for improving men's relationship with food and fitness. In today's society, men face significant pressures to conform to certain body ideals, which can lead to poor self-esteem and mental health issues. Join me as I delve into the complexities of men's body image and discuss how we can redefine fitness and promote a healthier relationship with our bodies. In part 1, I delve into the concept of body image and its impact on men's lives. I examine the role of media in shaping unrealistic body ideals for men and discuss the harmful effects of body shaming.  In part 2, I explore the rise of the dad bod. I define this cultural phenomenon and discuss why it has gained popularity and acceptance. Discover the potential benefits of embracing a more realistic and attainable body image, allowing men to find self-acceptance and confidence. Part 3 focuses on men's relationship with food. I address the common challenges men face, including stress eating, diet culture, and restrictive eating patterns. I provide practical tips and strategies for developing a healthier relationship with food, emphasizing intuitive eating and mindful practices. In part 4, I challenge traditional notions of fitness for men. We need to redefine what it means to be fit and masculine, shifting the focus from appearance to overall health and well-being.  Part 5 addresses the stigma surrounding men's body image and seeking support. I discuss the importance of open conversations, support networks, and professional guidance in improving men's mental and physical well-being.  Sign up to the presale list of the anti-summer shred and put body image concerns behind you: https://nextstepnutrition.co.uk/anti-summer-shred-project/

Welcome to Beyond The Mirror.    Since its inception, this podcast has been a daily show. Revealing a short   Over the years of it running, my personal values have changed, my beliefs have changed, I've learned more knowledge, and the podcast has followed this journey through several certifications, many workshops and courses, and a ton of books and research papers.   I feel this is the mark of an evidence-based professional. One who can admit where they may have missed the mark. And also able to accept new evidence and adjust their stance where they believe it's right to do so.   And through this journey, I've come to realise where I sit in the war between diet culture and anti-diet culture.   I also believe there's definitely a middle ground to strive for, where we take actions in line with our goals and values. But where doing so is fuelled by OUR goals, not ones forced upon us by societal norms.   This is what Beyond the Mirror will explore. What is this messy middle? Is it ok to want to lose weight? If so, is it possible? And why or why not? When might it be ok to track calories? What's "diet culture" and what are health-based goals? Is it ever ok to work on your body composition? If so, how? How do we do so while developing our relationship with food and our bodies?   I believe there's a big market here for the health-focused individual who wants to become their healthiest and fittest self but who doesn't want to get lost in restriction, obsession and disordered eating.   I also wanted to be a bloke in the space discussing body image struggles, disordered eating habits, struggles with self-compassion and health-based goals, as there's still a lot of stigma around men struggling with these issues.   And this podcast will explore it.   THE NEXT BIG CHANGE IS THAT IT WILL NO LONGER BE DAILY.   In my desire to provide BIG value, I wanted to provide short snippets of information.   However, this became INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT to keep up with, and I found myself compromising value just to get an episode out, this isn't something I want to continue doing. I'm a firm believer that too much information simply makes people more confused and stops them from taking action - I don't want to add to that.   As such, this podcast will be pivoting to mostly a WEEKLY SHOW, where I welcome a guest on to discuss intuitive eating, disordered eating habits, body image, health-based goals, diet culture and more.   Welcome!

Today I'm speaking to Sammy Cooper from Marchon nutrition about diet culture, fat loss, relationships with food and how we can find the way through this messy middle.   Sammy is a certified nutritionist who simplifies the science to help athletes perform at their best while scooping out the diet culture bullsh*t and bridging the gap between body image and performance.   Follow her here: @sammys.scoop   Book a free call with me to discuss coaching: https://tidycal.com/jonny2/lets-chat-about-you
