Summary
Tiffany, 52, would like to lose about 5 kilos. For many years, she's worried about what to eat, and believes that if she could only learn to "think like a thin person," she could stop focusing so much on food. And that would in turn help her to lose weight.
Tiffany also holds a variety of other beliefs around food and body, such as what her ideal weight should be, that weight loss should be effortless, that she should never overeat, and many more. And she's not alone: all of us hold beliefs about our health, bodies, and our patterns with food.
But as Marc David teaches, many of the beliefs we hold end up getting in the way of achieving the goals we hold so dear.
Here's the thing: it's natural to focus on food when we're trying to lose weight.
However, what so many people don't realize is that nutritional changes alone don't automatically lead to weight loss.
And that's because weight challenges arise from the level of our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. In order to create lasting change, we have to do more than tinker with our nutrition – and instead dive into the key mindset issues that hold us back.
So be sure to tune into this fascinating episode, where we take a closer look at the psychology of weight loss, as well as the key nutritional, metabolic, and mind body factors that are influenced by our thoughts and beliefs about food.

| 0:11.0 | Now, here's your host, Eating Psychology Expert and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Mark David. |
| 0:28.5 | Welcome, everybody. I'm Mark David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. |
| 0:33.7 | We are in the Psychology of Eating podcast, and I'm with Tiffany today. Welcome, Tiffany. |
| 0:37.9 | Thank you for having me. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad we're here. For those of you who are new to the podcast, Tiffany and I haven't met before, and we're going to be doing a first time, one-time session together and hopefully do some good work. |
| 0:50.1 | So, Tiffany, if you go wave your magic wand, get whatever you want with food and body. |
| 0:55.7 | Yeah. |
| 0:56.3 | What would that be for you? |
| 0:59.2 | I want to stop having the thoughts about food, what I have eaten, what I haven't eaten every single day of my life. |
| 1:08.3 | It just takes up too much of my mind. |
| 1:10.7 | And I want to be able to flick that |
| 1:13.0 | switch so that I start to think like a skinny person who eats because they need to rather |
| 1:20.3 | than they want to and get out of that day-to-day, a roller coaster of food and how it controls me. |
| 1:31.2 | I've spent many, many years thinking about it, and I just don't want to think about it anymore, |
| 1:35.8 | and I struggle to, I'm either feast or famine. |
| 1:39.0 | I'm either fasting or I'm overeating. |
| 1:41.5 | So I just want to get some normality into my life where I'm not thinking |
| 1:46.4 | about food every day. And I, you know, I'm just a normal person who doesn't get controlled |
| 1:53.8 | by their thoughts around food. All right. I like that. That's a good place to get to. |
| 1:59.5 | Absolutely. How long do you feel have you not been there? |
| 2:04.2 | Oh, look, for as long as I can remember, I can remember when I was at school and just having |
| 2:08.4 | cross-kets at lunch because I was worried about my weight. |
