Ep 52#52: 6 Ways To Easily Prevent Bloating For An Event!

Do you worry about what to choose to wear, fearing bloating may be on the horizon? Maybe you NEVER buy tighter fitting clothes because, you know for sure, they'll make you look look 6 months pregnant on the day? THIS WAS ME. I used to bloat and get intense pain and wind for about 6 years of my life. Going to events was therefore risky, and 9/10 times I would experience this pain, which would also drain my energy and vibe and leave me feeling pretty frustrated, especially as I was always a healthy eater. But now, I have found my answers and have helped other women calm the bloat for 6 years. So…. in this podcast, I want to share with you my top 6 tips to prevent bloating for your events! This includes what to do in the days lead up AND on the day itself so that you can go to events and (hopefully) reduce some of your bloating too.

Ep 49#49: How This Sceptical Foodie & Busy Mum of 2 Dropped 8 kgs in 12 Weeks!

"To be completely honest I was skeptical when I started, but was so tired of trying to do 'all the things' and getting nowhere, so I thought, why not?! I'm a huge foodie too, so I was worried that it would be boring and I'd be starving all the time… When the scales were 3 kg down after a week I was sold!! I never felt deprived or hungry which was a game changer for me. After the 3 weeks, I was down 4.5 kg, my energy was back and I was loving it! I signed up for the Tribe at the end of week two because I just LOVED the food so much and am having such great results! The meals are easy to make and delicious which was a relief as someone who is time poor as a business owner! After 12 weeks, for my wedding day, I lost 8 kgs and I felt incredible. At my honeymoon, I couldn't wait to get home and start eating this way again. I'm still eating the same way now, and probably will forever because I'm addicted to the food, but mostly, I'm addicted to how much energy I have!!! Highly recommend!!!" In this episode, I chat with Steph about: How she did it The mindset she adopted to stay on track How it was different to what she had tried in the past The biggest lessons she has learnt The food swaps and hacks she now swears by And so much more... If you're also a busy mumma or woman who has tried it ALL and are in need of some inspiration to show you how easy weight loss truly IS possible and effortless, this is for you.

Ep 38#38: Could Never Knowing About THIS Test Be The Reason You're Not Losing Weight?

If I didn't go beyond the GP to investigate this in more depth, I would have never figured it out... and it happens to SO many women. Could it be a piece to your puzzle too? Could it be part of the reason you're not losing weight, despite trying it all? This MAY be part of the answer.

Ep 37#37: Why you must look BEYOND GP's. It's not in your head.

I'll never forget the years where I was made to feel like an idiot. I would visit multiple GP's and gut specialists (gastroenterologists), only to leave feeling disheartened, confused and frustrated. I spent 2-3 years searching for answers to my low energy, chronic gut issues (bloating and constipation) and got no where! Until I finally met the right integrative / functional medicine doctor who did the RIGHT tests and diagnosed me with an imbalance of gut bacteria and multiple food sensitivities. Things that a GP or specialist doctor just wouldn't test… I used this, together with the knowledge I had acquired from my Bachelor of Science Nutrition degree that I had just finished, and the years of my own personal research, to eat in a way that healed my gut concerns. I thought I would have to live with the pain and discomfort forever… but now, I am healed and I have to continue to help women move beyond the "by the book" doctors too. If you are serious about getting to the bottom of YOUR health concerns, I really need to encourage you to dig deeper and go beyond your GPs, even your specialists. They're not trained in Nutrition, and the world of the gut microbiome is new science too - science in which so many just don't bother to look at or consider. This podcast is for you if you feel like you've exhausted all avenues and you need more answers too. You deserve to feel optimal, and this podcast will take you one step further in showing you HOW that's possible. Links mentioned: Want to find a good integrative doctor to see?

Ep 34#34: How Georgie Reached her Dream Weight for Her Wedding During Lockdown

Georgie began eating a lot out of boredom, saying she had "awful eating habits". She was also constantly bloated and felt no motivation to workout. The lockdown took a huge emotional and physical toll on her. But, she had a goal… Her wedding was coming up in 9 months and she decided to embark on a healthy eating journey to give her the structure and motivation to get through lockdown. Georgie was intrigued by my approach as it appeared that she could eat huge meals and slim down… She was right! After she got into it, she was full in-between her meals, lost her bloating and quickly saw her clothes becoming looser… She also KNEW that this "all or nothing" approach hadn't worked for her in the past, so it was time for a realistic, slow and enjoyable approach to weight loss in the lead up to her big day. One that she could maintain. And guess what? She did it! Georgie went from feeling bloated and down, to motivated, happier and far more confident each week, whilst feeling zero hunger and no deprivation from life's joys, like enjoying cheese and wine. She now understands how nutrition is far more important than exercise, with her quoting, "you can do all the exercise the world, but if you're not eating right, it doesn't really matter" In this episode, we chat all about her journey and how she did it so that it can inspire you too!

Ep 29#29: Ladies, we need to talk. Jealousy, competition, comparing, bitching - it needs to change.

Even though this one isn't about weight loss or health, I had to chat about this topic. Have you ever been triggered or jealous of a friend or colleague? Or, have you been on the other side of it and felt judged and alone when you have had success in some area of your life? Maybe you've had to play down your successes, or hide them from your loved ones... I certainly have, and I feel that this topic needs to be spoken about. In this episode, I just have a friendly rant and share my personal thoughts surrounding this topic because, I believe that women should be supporting women, day in and day out. I know that when I see another woman succeed, I think to myself "If she can do it, so can I". Let's quit the judging, comparing and bitching and create a world of support among women!

Did you know that a plant based diet doesn't always mean that it's a vegan one? Meat can actually be consumed and still be considered plant based.

We chat about: How a plant based diet actually CAN also include moderate amounts of meat and still offer the same benefits as a totally plant exclusive diet Why Australians should consider cutting down on their animal product consumption How some of the biggest killers in todays society, like heart disease, are in-fact often due to lifestyle, not genetics How low carb diets and exclusive plant based diets BOTH offer the same benefits and why Many common mainstream nutrition and diet myths are how they are harming us How including more plants in your diet can improve your gut health, energy levels and quality of life The myths surrounding protein requirements from animal products to meet protein needs and the consumption of dairy to meet calcium needs And so much more.

Ep 26#26: Why Weight Loss is NOT as Simple as Calories in / Calories out - Part 3

Following on from episode 24 and 25 weight loss certainly isn't as simple as creating a calorie deficit (please read or listen to these first before consuming this one!) If we focus on calories, and calories alone, it can be damn right dangerous and ineffective. Here's part three to this chat!

Ep 24#24: Why weight loss is NOT as simple as calories in / calories out - part 1

"Eat less and move more" - we are told to do that ALL the time. From PT's, to fad diets, to GP's , we are told to simply reduce our calories to induce a calorie deficit and THAT'S how we lose weight. So, why isn't it that easy?! Why are 65% of dieters failing? Weight loss is about SO much more than just counting calories - and in this episode, I'm going to explain why. I chat about: What calories actually are What a calorie deficit actually means Why counting calories alone and not thinking about WHERE the calories are coming from can sabotage your weight loss success How hunger, cravings and willpower to follow through with your diet can drastically change if you understand the simple concept of blood sugars and insulin How insulin affects your ability to burn fat Which foods to opt for to keep insulin low And so much more.

Ep 23#23: Food, Anxiety and Brain Fog

bonus

Did you know that your mood can be affected by what you choose to put in your mouth? From ridding anxiety, to sharpening your brain power and focus for work, it truly can. In this episode on Body Bites with Bec, I chat with Bec Rowland about her results from the 3 Week Body Reset and continuation in the Tribe, and how she's healed lots of her anxiety and sharped her focus for her masters degree, whilst juggling being a Mum and working as a school counsellor. It's different, as the focus isn't on weight loss like lots of my other case studies, which is great - because you see how there is so much MORE to following a healthy eating plan than weight loss. When you think of all of the benefits aside from weight loss, it can make it far easier and more motivating to keep up with your healthy choices in the long term - and weight loss just becomes a positive side effect. In this inspiring episode, we chat all about: The mistakes Bec was making before she adopted my lifestyle that were worsening her anxiety and energy levels How Bec models a healthy life for her kids The realisations Bec has made in terms of her anxiety and focus and how certain food choices have impacted this How Bec works juggles her new diet / lifestyle in with her extremely busy mum / work / study life What mindset hacks Bec uses to help her make better choices Some of her favourite food swaps that enable her to still enjoy her favourite "naughty" foods!

Ep 21#21: How Claire Lost 11 kgs and Gained a Whole Lot of Confidence for Her Wedding

Last year, Claire Robinson was stuck in a cycle that so many women are familiar with - the all or nothing one. The one where you restrict your calories and push yourself at the gym for 4-6 times a week, then resort to old habits once you feel results, only to see the weight come right on back. This kind of pattern unfortunately, is far too common - and it will keep you from seeing the results that you desire so badly (and deserve!). But last year, in September, in the midst of the harsh lockdown in Melbourne, Australia, Claire decided to make a change. She KNEW that she wanted to reach her weight loss goals once and for all, as she had a long term goal that was on the horizon - her wedding! And guess what? She did it! Claire went from "trying it all" and feeling stuck, to feeling free, slimmer, happier and far more confident (whilst feeling zero hunger and no deprivation of life's joys, like grabbing a burger on a Friday night). And, in this episode, she has so much to share with you all about how she did it.

Ep 18#18: My Skin Transformation and Excess Oestrogen Journey, Despite Thinking I Was "Doing it All"

Unfortunately, like many women, I've always been prone to acne. My skins never been perfect. However, in November 2020 I was beginning to see it get worse. This went hand in hand with a few other symptoms that were unusual for me, including… Far more fluid retention Mood swings before period A huge decrease in energy Something wasn't right. I HAD to get help to find out what was going on - both externally on my skin, and internally with my body. So, I did a Dutch test and worked with Hayley from Solctice Skin to get to the bottom of it, and, it's safe to say that in 4 months my skin is definitely improving. It's not perfect, but it is SO MUCH BETTER. So, how did a girl who was doing everything right even get to this point? I was eating clean, avoiding dairy and gluten, eating heaps of vegetables, managing my stress… It felt so unfair. I now know what I was doing wrong. What I was missing… And how I ended up with excess oestrogen and far more pimples than I have ever had in my life. And, I can't wait to share some of my journey with you here in the hopes that it will help you too. In this episode, I chat with Hayley, qualified Corneotherapist and Naturopath, who really delves into the common mistakes' women make when it comes to skincare and how you too can make some simple changes like I have.

Ep 12#12: Does Alcohol *Really* Slow Down Weight Loss?

So, you think you have to give up alcohol completely to lose weight, right?! This is another big misconception that I see all the time, and I am here to change that for you! When you have this mindset, that you can't drink ANYTHING if you're being "good", it can create that "all or nothing" behaviour that so many women are guilty of (including me in the past!). So, women like this will always yo-yo because they don't want to "ruin" their attempts to eat healthy and lose weight. This definitely leads to weight fluctuations and plateaus. I believe that we actually CAN make room for alcohol and still lose weight. Hell yes, I'm here to tell you that you CAN still enjoy your favourite wine, whilst on your quest to reach (and maintain) your weight loss goals. In this episode of Body Bites with Bec, I uncover: What a safe amount of alcohol is to drink per week How alcohol does affect your weight loss attempts and makes it harder to lose weight (and the reasons and science behind this) How you can work with the above to fit the alcohol in to your life, so that it doesn't affect your weight loss attempts drastically and still helps you see results Alcohol swaps to keep calories and sugar low And SO MUCH MORE.
