Welcome to the refreshed Weigh In With Gina podcast! In our inaugural episode, Dr. Beverley David, a clinical psychologist specializing in sleep research, joins Gina to explore how psychology intersects with weight loss. They discuss the societal pressures on body image, the psychological impact of dieting, and the need for sustainable approaches to weight loss. Dr. Beverly emphasizes the role of past experiences and societal influences on attitudes toward food and self-worth and touches on whether The Livy Method is a comprehensive enough approach to weight loss that prioritizes the underlying psychological factors.

It is common to be physically done losing weight yet have more work to do with mindset about weight loss and our relationship with food. Trust and confidence building takes the time it takes. How the voice and vibe of Maintenance is different from the Weight Loss group. "The Firsts" in life after weight loss. Live the Livy Way. Manifesting your maintenance when you are ready. Be clear about your intentions and goals for all stages of The Livy Method. The benefits of being in both groups while avoiding jumping the gun to join Maintenance if you're not ready. The content in Maintenance is designed to meet members where they are at and support community engagement. Readiness is a feeling of confidence and trust; it is not impatience.

In this segment, recorded on March 28, 2024, Gina discusses the research going into The Livy Method with Professor Ruth Kane from the University of Ottawa. If you are in the Winter 2024 Support Group, you can check out the full video here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/livymethodwinter2024 Topics covered: Introducing Dr. Ruth Kane and her connections to The Livy Method. If you are here at Week 11, you are a success! Tell us about your experience in the upcoming survey! The Livy Method and clinically significant weight loss. Checking in daily and participating in the community are strong determinants of success on The Program. What makes The Livy Method different from other weight loss programs? Differentiating The Livy Method from current diet trends and other diets out there. The Livy Method is the only healthy way to lose weight. The Livy Method asks you to pay attention to YOU and listen to the messages of YOUR body. Some of the reasons people may not be successful with the Livy Method. Ultra-processed foods are driving the overweight population. The problems with food labelling, ultra-processed foods, and the industry driving food addiction. The impact of fibre eaten from whole foods and leafy greens on The Livy Method. Whole foods versus their low-fat counterparts - there is no comparison!  It feels good to feel good! Yes, you can lose the weight! Maintenance is about using what you learned and feeling good about your choices! As you live your life after weight loss, the tweaks don't continue but the principles of The Livy Method do. Big takeaways from studying Maintenance include the magnitude of the roles stress and sleep play. You have to be healthy to lose weight, not lose weight to be healthy. Perspectives on weight loss medications and surgeries. We've unlearned how to listen to our bodies. We can influence others by the impact of our choices. Listening, learning, and unlearning are important ways to work with our body. When a potato chip is not a potato chip. Next steps: Take time to fill out our survey coming on April 1st. Ruth's final words: apply what you have learned and lean into the community! To learn more about the Livy Method, visit www.ginalivy.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
