No Weigh: Honest Takes on Food, Your Body & Life After Diet Culture
By Alix Hubble
Categories: Health & Fitness, Fitness, Education, Self-Improvement, Mental Health
You've done the diets, you've tracked, weighed, measured and started again on Monday more times than you can count. And you're still not at peace with food or your body. And this podcast is FOR YOU! I'm Alix, personal trainer and therapeutic coach, and I've spent years watching brilliant, capable women let a number on the scale decide what kind of day they're going to have. No weigh is where we stop doing that. In every episode we'll tackle the questions you've probably asked yourself a million times over: - How do I stop emotional eating? - How do I stop comfort eating in the evenings? - How do I quieten the food noise? - How do I stop dieting without piling on the lbs? - Why can't I stick to a diet? - What do I eat when I'm not even hungry? - How do I stop feeling guilty after eating? - How do I break the all or nothing diet cycle with food? - How do I feel confident in my body and good in my own skin as it is right now? - If diets don't work, what am I supposed to do instead? - Can I stop dieting without letting myself go? - Can I still care about my health without it turning into another diet? Expect honest conversations, practical tools for comfort eating and a better body image, a bit of nervous system science and zero judgement. Plus the occasional reality check, delivered with the compassion that your own self talk might be missing. No meal plans. No before and afters. No weigh-ins. Just a calmer, kinder way to live in the body you've got.
