In the many years I have worked as a weight loss physician, I have learned that successful weight loss has almost more to do with mindset than with the nuts and bolts of weight loss itself. Most of us know what it means to eat wholesome foods, limit non-nutritive foods, to eat modest portions to satiate hunger, to move our bodies etc etc etc.

Often times the most difficult part of sustaining the behaviors is not about the what but more about the how– how do we hold this challenge in our minds? How do we maintain motivation and consistency? How do we tolerate perceived setbacks, negative self-talk, and the temptation to give up?

This week on my HealthBite podcast, I interview Corinne Crabtree, a weight loss coach that has helped thousands of women in their weight loss journey after having completed her own journey of losing over a hundred pounds and keeping it off for over 15 years.

Corrine prides herself on a no BS approach to weight loss, an approach that I totally appreciate. She tells the truth, with love, compassion and a true understanding of what it takes to do the hard work. In this episode, Corrine shares many insightful pearls, not only to help you on your weight loss journey, but also help you redefine your relationship to yourself, your goals, and your values.
