Episode 27: Is Intuitive Eating a Good Weight Loss Strategy?

“Can I eat intuitively and still lose weight?”   This is one of the most common questions I get as a nutrition coach. Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach that helps you become aware of your body’s internal hunger signals and helps heal any relationship you’ve built with food. It is completely understandable that someone would rather choose this approach, especially if they are tired of the restrictive lifestyle that accompanies most “diets.”    In today’s episode, my friend and co-creator of “Feel Wonderful In Your Skin, Amanda Kaldor, dive deep into what exactly intuitive eating IS, what it IS NOT, and our thoughts on using this method as a weight loss strategy.  Check out the show notes for more information including links and resources mentioned in today's episode!

Episode 26: Should Christians Have Weight Loss Surgery?

Weight loss surgery is a controversial topic.    Weight loss surgery has become very common in recent years. However, it’s important to understand that this is a tool among many that still requires you to make many lifestyle changes to experience the results.    In today’s episode, Amanda and I discuss weight loss surgery from a Christian viewpoint: why it’s done, who it’s for, the risks involved, what you can expect, and the mindset shifts that have to happen no matter which route you decide to take.  Check out the show notes for more information including links and resources mentioned in today's episode!  SHOW NOTES: www.rachelking.org/episode26   Ready to go deeper and dive into a customized approach with your nutrition?

Episode 24: Health and the Holidays

As much joy as this time of year brings - all the traditions, the family time, the meaning of the season - if you are on a weight loss journey, this time of year can also bring up other emotions. The feeling of “missing out” on your favorite foods, feeling restricted - those thoughts can start to creep in.   I want you to know you aren’t alone AND there is a different way. There is a way to enjoy all your favorite holiday foods without the guilt. It just requires a mindset shift and allowing yourself GRACE. And the holiday season is the perfect time to give thanks for God’s abundant grace.    In this episode, I share my top tips on navigating the holidays in a healthy way - mind, body, and soul! Side note: the most important thing at the table this holiday season is the PEOPLE…not the food.   Check out the show notes for links and resources mentioned in today's epsiode!

Episode 23: What Does God Say About Healthy Relationships?

When your faith is important to you, it has to be an important part of the romantic relationships you have too. Whether you're single, dating, or married, God has a perfect plan for you and your spouse. When you are able to fully rely on Christ in your relationship no matter what -  in times of happiness, sadness, stress, joy, disagreement, unity, or distance -  you have an important source of strength that is like no other.    In this episode, you get to meet my husband, Jordan! We had so much fun recounting our dating days, engagement story, wedding, and our marriage. We also talked about overcoming challenges, facing trials, being a supportive spouse, parenting, and keeping God the center and cornerstone of it all.    I hope this episode blesses and encourages you as much as it did us!    Check out the show notes for more information including links and resources mentioned in today's episode!

Episode 22: False Comfort vs True Joy

I am a creature of habit. I wake up at the same time each day, follow the same morning routine, eat the same thing for breakfast, etc. I love routine. I thrive on it. It brings me comfort. And boy, don’t we love to be comfortable?!    Routines are created and habits are learned. We continually seek comfort in material things: shopping, alcohol, drugs, social media, FOOD. Yet, these things will never bring us true joy. True joy is found in Christ alone.    In this episode, I invite you to spend some time with the Lord, reflecting on YOUR source of comfort and joy. Are you spending your time seeking false comfort or are you investing in things that bring about true joy?

Do you hate to cook?   Is this one area derailing you from seeing the results you desire?    In today’s episode, Amanda and I tackle this obstacle head-on. We often hear women complain about having to cook, not having the time to cook, how long it takes to cook, and on and on…and that stops them from losing weight.   Take a listen to our perspectives on the subject and how to move through this if you find yourself thinking the same thing.

Episode 19: Why Meal Plans Don’t Work

“Can you just write me a meal plan?”   I cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve been asked this question, and I get it. Logically, it makes sense. If you have someone telling you exactly what to eat, it should take out the guesswork and you’ll just eat what’s on plan. But that’s not how it works.    For the majority of people, meal plans do not work. Meal plans are a tool, just like a number of things that CAN be used to lose weight or achieve a desired health or fitness goal. But if your goal is to figure out how to eat right for your health or you have a certain body composition goal (meaning you want to lose fat, gain muscle, etc), then depending on a meal plan is not a good idea.    I’ll explain in this episode… Check out the show notes for more information including links and resources mentioned in today's episode!
