Breaking the Cycle: Achieving Food Freedom and Getting Lean with David Godfrey
We cannot ignore the science of nutrition and the science of calories. Calories matter when it comes to fat loss and weight loss...But establishing a fully personalised, healthy, sustainable system that is going to get you to your body goals in the simplest way it can possibly be on its own isn't enough without the psychological frameworks in place, which is why it's so important to address all of the other stuff that we talk about in this podcast- the emotional fitness side of things.
Feeling like you're caught between restrictive diets and emotional eating? David Godfrey gets it. In this episode of The Chase Life Podcast, he unpacks the common belief that eliminating food issues and achieving a lean body are mutually exclusive. David dives into why these two goals can actually work hand in hand, rather than against each other.
He takes a closer look at how the diet and fitness industries often make food struggles worse, exacerbating binge eating, emotional eating, and compulsive eating behaviors. But don't worry, he's got solutions. David shares practical tips on achieving your physical goals in a way that aligns with your psychology. He explains the science behind fat loss, touching on the roles of calories, metabolism, and hormones, and highlights the importance of satiety and choosing the right protein sources.
David also delves into the emotional side of eating, showing you how to eliminate perfectionism and the all-or-nothing mindset. If you're ready to break free from food issues and get lean without feeling trapped, this episode is for you.
