If this is YOU, you need to grab a piece of paper or a notebook to write these 5 questions down. It will help you to answer these truthfully and gauge whether you are TRULY doing this for the right reasons and if it is a “diet” or program that might work for YOU! A little teaser-one of them is about SUSTAINABILITY. If this something you can commit to LONG TERM? Don’t you know that almost ANY special diet CAN work for you if you truly invest yourself into it and are consistent over time. Right? Well…not all of them and again, you know I talk about nourishing your body and a balanced LIFESTYLE over any fad.

the MYTH behind Eating Disorders and 2 KEYS to Breaking Free from Disordered Eating

What if I told you that you have an eating disorder? Would you believe me?! I bet you think that you know what an eating disorder is! But what if I told you it’s not exactly what you think? Because it’s not. We label a few of them and then continue on our diet and exercise programs thinking we’ve “got this.” But the sad truth is you’ve been fooled and lied to especially in the health and fitness industry where companies want you to buy their supplements and weight loss products. It’s fast and easy right? You can just take a pill or use a wrap or do a 1 hour HIIT training session and you’ll be able to hit those goals! SPOILER: you can’t. You may be able to press pause or rewind for a moment, but have you thought about it changed the root of all of this madness? Even if you are 100% okay with your body and eating whatever you want, this one is for YOU! You’ll want to check out today’s episode because you might not realize the harm you are causing yourself and future generations.

How The LIE of Starting Over Has You TRAPPED

“Starting Over”… this lie that we’ve fed into subconsciously is affecting us and holding us back from being healthy and moving forward. How many times have you put a “START” date on something? “I screwed up or I want to be able to eat whatever I want over the summer, so I’ll START when the kids go back to school?” OR “I messed up by eating something I shouldn’t have so I will just “start over” on Monday.” In Heath and fitness, we are not baking a cake and having to start over if we get something wrong!!! When you have a flat tire, you don’t pop the other three and give up OR change all the tires! You have to KEEP moving forward, keep LEARNING from each “mistake” and realize that continually starting and stopping is a LIE! It can also be the beginning or be the sign of an eating disorder. This week on my podcast, I’m talking about this “starting over” complex that so many of us get trapped into and some ways to change your thinking on it! I’m also going to have an episode about eating disorders and another on the lies of “labeling” and “absolutes” and how it is negatively affecting us.

3 Lies Revealed About Our Relationship With Food

Do you live to eat or do you eat to live?

Today I’m talking more in depth about having an unhealthy relationship with food! Where does it come from and can we retrain our brains?

How do you even know if you have a bad relationship with food (or fitness)? 

Let’s begin this SEASON  of Grace 2 Conquer where we uncover the lies and discover the truth about “fitness,” why we believe what we believe or are connected to certain foods and habits. Let’s go on this journey together as we BREAK the chains that bind us in our lives, that hold us back from being the healthiest and best versions of ourselves.

I am SO excited for this new season and have been working endlessly, especially on myself, in preparing physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally for what is to come! Only God knows for certain as this change in direction was no surprise to Him!

My name is Cara Foote and I am a personal trainer and lifestyle coach, turned podcaster and with a LOT of God and a little bit of me, my goal is to help as many women as I can find FREEDOM in FAITH, FITNESS, and TRUTH. I study holistic and integrative nutrition formerly having studied sports nutrition and want to share as much as I can to help others walk in freedom towards healthy living.

 

Look, there is a lot of JUNK out there! I have been a part of some awesome companies but sadly, many of them promote products that are not only made to treat a SYMPTOM of your problems (not the cause), but are usually bad for you and your health in the long run.

 

Some of the companies I’ve worked with or whose products I used were Xyngular, Beachbody, It Works, and 1st Phorm. Products or diets I tried (don’t laugh-ha!) are Atkins, Slim fast, Shakeology, weight watchers, nutrisystem, intermittent fasting, and Keto. Oh yeah, I can’t leave out the cookie diet…for real!! It was some special cookie that my friend and I would eat for two meals a day and it was AWFUL! Hahaha, we still laugh about that one to this day!!

Let me tell you something, rigorous workout plans and fad diets don’t work for the HARD lifestyle changes I’m talking about in this episode. But we CAN work on these things and how to have balance and freedom with food and fitness!!!
