Losing Weight without Losing Your Mind (formerly the More Mindful Podcast)

Welcome to the Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind Podcast (formerly, the More Mindful Podcast) — where we make weight loss sustainable (and dare I say, enjoyable?!) by changing how you think, instead of just changing what you eat.

Hi, I'm your host is Julia Lynch— your down-to-earth double-certified macro-nutrition coach, integrative health enthusiast, and fellow recovering "starting over every Monday" girl. I get it because I've been there: obsessing over every bite, working out twice a day, and still feeling like I was failing.

Here's what changed everything: I stopped expecting overly-restrictive diets to work for me (they don't!) and I started working with my brain and body, instead of against it.

Now, I help overwhelmed, high-achieving women (you know, the ones juggling EVERYTHING, while her inner perfectionist yaps away at her all day) lose weight without making it their full-time job or giving up Friday night pizza. What’s the point of losing weight if it makes you hate your life?

Through my Rooted Method, I combine mindful eating and macro tracking with practical nutrition hacks and the mindset shifts that actually stick, so you can finally stop the mental gymnastics around food and lose weight without the drama…

Each week, we're diving into real conversations about the thoughts keeping you stuck, simple nutrition strategies that work with your actual life, and tools to help you trust yourself around food again.

Because here's the thing—you don't need another meal plan. You need to stop believing that becoming “that healthy girl” is out of reach. Once you shift your mindset to believe it IS possible, I promise you things will start falling into place. And this podcast is your gateway there.

006: What should I do if the weekends derail my progress? with Kaylin Fillippelli

August 27, 2024 • Episode 6

In this conversation, Julia and Kaylin discuss the concept of balance in health and fitness, specifically focusing on surviving the weekend. If you're someone who says "I'll just start over again on Monday"... this is the episode for you!! A big piece of this episode is how to build a lifestyle - including the weekends - that support the goals you have for the future (and where mindset fits into that too!)

They share their personal journeys with nutritional periodization and how it has changed their relationship with food and their bodies, while emphasizing the importance of a life-first approach and debunking the myth that counting macros means restriction. You'll especially enjoy this part if you've ever wondered how tracking your food could be a healthy choice in a world that glorifies intuitive eating as being THE best choice every time.

They also discuss the dangerous mindset of using food as a reward, especially as busy women, and the opportunity to find other forms of self-care.

They highlight the importance of education, curiosity, and finding balance in order to achieve sustainable results. In this conversation, Kaylin and Julia discuss the importance of viewing food as a reward and finding other ways to feel good that align with our goals.

They emphasize the need to be mindful and curious about our food choices, using tracking as a tool to shed light on our nutrition. They also discuss strategies for planning and balancing social events and weekends with macros, including pre-logging and making choices that align with our preferences and goals.

The conversation highlights the importance of flexibility, imperfection, and self-compassion in our nutrition journey.
