We get into the chaos that is clothing sizes!

This discussion takes a roller coaster ride through the difficulties of getting clothes to fit, how sizes are categorised and our emotional connection to the label.

Is the reason your clothes don't fit because you need to lose weight? No. The problem is not you. As with many things, the glitch happens in how we feel about the problem.

One of our most exciting episodes ever that could change your eating habits overnight!

In this episode we're talking about how cravings work and what you can do about them, because despite feeling like they are totally out of your control, once you know how they work you can totally use the same process to develop a more desirable habit!

Key points this week are;

2 types of cravings - habitual and "biological" (i.e. hormones or microbiome)

Your "pudding stomach" is real and it's proper name is "sensory specific satiety" - you can use this strategy to your advantage too.

Reasons for cravings that we cover;

• You're restricting
• You're not eating enough carbs
• You're not eating enough protein
• Not eating enough fibre
• You're not eating enough. (Here we're talking about viewing your food through the lens of diet culture)
• Not eating satisfying meals
• Hormones!
• Lack of sleep
• Gut bacteria and microbiome

This could be one of the most important episodes we've ever done.

Few people understand the importance of body composition, even fewer apply it. We have been indoctrinated with the importance of weight without any consideration for what that weight might consist of.

If someone gave you a kilo of money as a gift it would make a huge difference whether it was a kilo of pennies, or a kilo of £20 notes right?

Let's apply the same logic to our bodies, and while it may be harder to ascertain our body composition we must at least begin to talk more accurately about them.

Of course we will finish with some tips on what actions you can take that will make a positive impact on your body composition, and you probably won't believe how simple they are. There's no silver bullet answer for this stuff, don't expect to be blown away by a magic trick that no-one else knows.

When it comes to the care of your body it's the dull, simple stuff repeated over time that counts;

• Strength Train to build lean muscle
• Eat well, and nutritionally
• Hydrate
• Learn about you
• Stop comparing yourself to others.
