Summary
Dating & fat loss. We are going there today. Whether you are married, dating or single, this episode will tackle mindsets & strategies for staying true to your goals regardless of what people in your life eat or choose.
The reality is: no matter who you are with or what anyone around you chooses, you are always 100% in control of what you put in your mouth, how much & when.
Does this make it easy to make progress towards your goals when people are around you are indulging? Nope. But this is life.
I think it's a huge asset to have people in your life who eat differently than you do. It's an incredible opportunity to practice and become resilient.
I'm excited to talk about how I approach difficult situations, how I say no, when I indulge and how I strike balance between social eating situations and my goals.

Dating & Fat Loss Strategies
- Pay attention to the kinds of choices that make you feel your best
- Optimize your habits outside of date night
- Don't apologize for or feel the need to explain your choices
- Don't be dramatic - you're not a victim of your choices
- Stay away from self-deprication - it's not sexy or funny
- Make dating about fun & connection, not food
- Know what's worth it & what's not

| 0:00.0 | This is Primal Potential and I am your host, Elizabeth Benton. |
| 0:06.7 | Through education, motivation, and implementation, we will bridge the gap between knowing and doing |
| 0:14.1 | so we can master fat loss naturally and help you reach your highest potential. Let's get started. |
| 0:24.3 | Hello everybody and welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton |
| 0:30.0 | and I'm kind of glad you're joining me today. I'm kind of not glad you're joining me today. |
| 0:37.1 | I have been telling you guys, promising you that I would do this episode for a long time, but I'm not like crazy excited about it. I'm a little bit nervous about it. I intentionally keep my relationships out of the podcast because, as I explained in the last show, this is not the Elizabeth Benton show. I don't think that |
| 0:57.1 | would help you reach your goals. I'm not going to get into my thoughts on that today. I did talk about |
| 1:01.8 | that in episode 371, if you want to know more about what I mean there. The reason that I'm doing |
| 1:07.7 | this episode is because for years, really since the start of primal |
| 1:13.0 | potential, I've gotten tons of emails with questions about how to achieve your goals |
| 1:20.5 | when somebody you're with has different goals, right? I got those questions when I was married |
| 1:25.2 | and really in like the deep work of fat loss. And I've gotten even more of those questions when I was married and really in like the deep work of fat loss. |
| 1:29.1 | And I've gotten even more of those questions since I got divorced and even more since I said |
| 1:35.4 | that I was dating. |
| 1:37.6 | So today we're talking about fat loss and dating, but really more broadly, eating in a way |
| 1:43.5 | that is different from the person that you |
| 1:45.3 | are with. And even if you are not eating differently from the person that you're with, how to kind |
| 1:51.0 | strike this balance that we often need to find when we're in a newer relationship and |
| 1:57.4 | there's maybe more socializing. There's more going out, there's more drinking, |
| 2:01.8 | there's more indulging, maybe there's more travel, things like that. Because it can be tough. |
| 2:07.7 | It can be tough. I will say, no matter who around you is eating what or how much or when, |
| 2:15.9 | you are always 100% in control of what you put in your mouth, |
