Summary

💥 JOIN THE WAITLIST for DEFENSE

My brand-new 8-week program is coming soon!
DEFENSE is for those who want to get ahead of the spiral — before the binge, the drift, or the regret even begins.
Because the best offense? It’s a great defense.

➡️ Get on the waitlist now

Have you ever had a meal or treat that tasted amazing… but left you feeling bloated, tired, or regretful afterward? You're not alone — and today's episode is going to give you a powerful shift in perspective.

This concept comes up all the time in my weekly check-ins with members of The Consistency Course:
👉 We often focus only on taste, and ignore how food makes us feel.

There’s a tipping point — from tastes good, feels good to tastes good, feels bad. The problem is, most people don’t notice until it’s too late.
In this episode, we’ll explore:

Real-life examples of indulgence without regret
How to recognize that tipping point in the moment
Why it’s not just about how much — but how often
The difference between enjoyment and sabotage
One question that can help you pause before you go too far

This isn’t about restriction. It’s about reclaiming how you want to feel — and learning how to stop before pleasure turns to punishment.

🎯 This is a must-listen if you’ve ever said: “I always regret it afterward.”

0:00.0	If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to
0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it.
0:29.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton.
0:35.7	Thanks so much for joining me today. Before we get into today's
0:40.1	episode, which is a strategy for food that I find really helpful that I've been sharing with a ton
0:46.2	of my clients. Before we want to get into that, I want to share with you an email that I sent out.
0:51.5	If you're on my list, you might have seen me tell a little bit of this story. But it's different to hear it than to read it, don't you think? So I want to share with you an email that I sent out. If you're on my list, you might have seen me tell a little bit of this story. But it's different to hear it than to read it, don't you think?
0:57.0	So I want to tell you about one of the things my husband hates about me that I think is the reason
1:06.9	so many folks struggle to reach their goals.
1:13.4	And to explain it, I'm going to tell you a little story. Last week, my husband, Chris and I went slightly off Cape. We live on Cape Cod. We went
1:20.4	slightly off Cape to look at some potential investment properties. And we go look at this one property
1:24.8	and it's two small homes on one lot, but then there's like
1:29.3	another part of the lot that's used, it's rented out as parking spots. So we look at it and
1:35.5	we're driving away and we're talking through like the plan, right? So we take the spot that's
1:42.0	currently for parking and we leave the tenants in the existing
1:45.5	two buildings and in the parking one we put up a duplex, right? And we build the duplex and then we
1:53.7	refinance the whole property so that that covers the costs of tearing down the original two and putting a mimicking duplex right there
2:04.3	so that, you know, in a matter of 24 months, instead of having two doors on this property,
2:09.7	we have four doors on this property and it sort of pays for itself. And we're going through
