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

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

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

Let's get started.

Hello everybody and welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast.

I am Elizabeth Menden and though my voice is a little bit more back than it was in the last episode,

I am still struggling a little bit so thanks for your patience, the fact that I sound a little bit different.

I hope that you are ready for what I think is kind of an overdue episode, a little bit on the deeper side,

hopefully very much on the powerful side and this is about the mental and emotional side of what we eat and why we eat.

This is based on some work that I've been doing in my own life lately.

Certainly a lot of the work I've been doing over the last few years, work I've been doing with some clients

and then as I mentioned it was also a part of Wired to Eat Rob Wolves book that I did a book review of

in the last episode of the podcast. I've said for a long time and really it's why I created the

Breaking Barriers E-Course. I've said for a long time that so much of change whether that's

fat loss or improving your health isn't about what you eat but rather about why you eat.

And certain parts of this I've talked about before we're going to take it in a different direction

today but the reality is most people who struggle with their weight or want to improve their eating

habits can perfectly well identify the things that they're eating or the amounts that they're eating

that are the problem that are holding them back or not helping them reach their goals.

They're aware that Binging has got to go if they want to make and maintain progress or they're

aware that eating a whole pint of ice cream isn't doing them any favors or that running to the grocery

store to load up on indulgences isn't the path to the body they want and feel really great about.
