Topics Covered
Molly’s clients generally find that weight loss itself is only one of many benefits they experience as a result of the work.
She has Five Hidden Gems – benefits beyond weight loss – she’d like to share:
#1 Less Brain Chatter!
The program reduce rumination around food choices, meal planning, debating snacks, endless negotiations and preoccupation. Many of Molly’s clients love the clarity around:
Food planning
Food preparation
Food choices
When you remove all the second-guessing and back and forth, your mind is freed up for all kinds of other imaginings and pursuits!
#2 Better Organization!
Meal planning forces us to sit down and be intentional.
Planning food choices makes us more aware of emotions that might otherwise be suppressed or buried. Among the most common: Overwhelm.
Going through the process of meal planning exposes both priorities and places where our resources are too thin or being unnecessarily spent.
#3 Turbo-Charged Energy!
By introducing nutritious, whole foods your body springs out of deprivation.
When you consume less, but more nutritionally dense food, your digestion is taxed less and conserves this primary energy resource.
Suddenly you’re not sluggish, you awaken fresh, your capacity to get things done grows exponentially.
Healthy food choices also reduce another source of wasted energy: Negative self-talk and shame. Your primitive brain’s default negative thinking gets unraveled and diffused.
#4 Better Sleep!
It’s during the highest quality, deep sleep that our bodies shift into peak fat-burning mode. Lousy sleep = sub-optimal fat-burning hours.
The cycle can be self-reinforced: The less you sleep the more you’re liable to make poor food choices that lead to even more troubled, inefficient sleep.
