Summary

I get a lot of questions about fat loss, family & friends. I guess, more specifically, I hear from a lot of people that their family & friends make their fat loss more difficult.

Today, I want to tackle those challenges (and I do believe they can be simply tackled without trading in your friends or abandoning your family).

A lot of this comes down to personal responsibility & understanding that you are the only one controlling what does (or doesn't) go into your mouth.

But, I totally know it's not as easy as simply ignoring other people's comments, questions or challenges. So today we're tackling fat loss, family & friends from both tactical & mindset standpoints.

Fat Loss, Family & Friends

In today's episode I cover some of the most common challenges I hear about between fat loss, family and friends including:

  • How to tell your friends that you're trying to make healthier choices without coming across as judgemental
  • How to handle fear of missing out in social situations if you choose not to drink or indulge
  • How to indulge in social situations without going overboard
  • How to handle an unsupportive spouse or partner
  • The ways by which you might be setting your partner up to be negative about the changes you're making
  • How to handle a partner or kids who don't want to eat the healthier food you're preparing
  • How to handle situations when your children or partner bring tempting foods into the house

Quotes in today's episode

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Menden.

Through education, motivation and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and

0:13.7

doing so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential.

Let's get started.

Hello, hello and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast. If you are a regular listener,

0:31.7

hey buddy, glad you're here. And if you are new to the show, hi, I'm Elizabeth. I am a

0:38.8

self-proclaimed fat loss enthusiast and I personally have lost somewhere between 140 pounds

0:46.4

after yo-yo dieting for most of my life and studying nutrition and biochemistry in college and

0:53.3

working in the dietary supplement industry and the healthcare industry as an obese woman,

0:58.7

I kind of realized that most of what we try to do in the weight loss realm is wrong and there is

1:06.2

in fact a simpler way and that's kind of what I do here with this passion project of mine known

1:12.5

as the Primal Potential podcast. I'm all about simplifying, helping you cut through all of the

1:18.8

junk and getting in the trenches with you to help you reach your goals and we're going to do some

1:24.7

of that today. I am probably in a ruffle some feathers today and I'm okay with that because they

1:30.8

feel strongly about the topic we're going to tackle and it is related to something I get emails

1:37.2

almost every single day about in one way, shape, or form, people who are struggling in their minds

1:44.2

not as much because of themselves but as a result of the people in their lives. Whether it is kids

1:52.9

bringing home treats or unsupportive spouses or partners or friends who insist on going out to

2:00.8

eat and drink, we all have a collection of those kinds of people in our lives but there's also this

2:07.7

other group of people and I want to talk about both of these things. There's another group of people

2:13.6

and they want to know how can I motivate or inspire my spouse, my sister, my kids, my whatever

to improve their lives and their health and so what I want to spend our time today to do is really
