Diet Disruptors

Are you tired of dieting and calorie-counting yet? In this episode, I challenge the calories in, calories out dogma that’s been ingrained in our minds. In its place, I offer a healthier, more empowering approach to wellness.We will talk about the effects of the calorie-counting mindset and how it leads us to obsess over numbers instead of focusing on our body’s true needs. I share my personal struggles with dieting, how it shaped my beliefs about food, and the real reason many of us are trapped in the cycle of deprivation.You’ll also hear about Sue, a client who almost let dieting control her life, and how we shifted her perspective to embrace nourishment over restriction. Health is not about eating less, but eating better, and we can break free from the mindset that keeps us stuck in a dieting cycle.Conclusion:Dieting doesn’t have to be our concept of health. By changing the way we think about food, we can shift from deprivation to nourishment, and from restriction to freedom. It's time to break free from calorie obsession and follow your body’s natural rhythm!In This Episode:- Calorie-counting culture exposed- How kids learn about dieting and calories- The problem with calorie counting and deprivation- PFC3 alternative to calorie counting- Why calorie-counting plans fail- Teaching kids nutrition with PFC PalsMentioned in the Episode-Join Carrie every morning live on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/-Learn more about PFC Pals: https://pfcpals.com/Join the waiting list for Carrie’s upcoming book, From Corset to Crown!-Sign up here: https://www.carrielupoli.com/corsettocrownListen to This Episode on Your Favorite Podcast Channel:-Follow and listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/diet-disruptors/id1507293016-Follow and listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0zfk9YgYTM95RVKqcW3VGF?si=1a863a22bee5439f-Subscribe and watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carrieLupoliofficial/podcasts?sub_confirmation=1Connect with Carrie Lupoli:Website – https://www.carrielupoli.com/homepageInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/carrie_lupoli/Podcast Blog – https://www.disruptivenutrition.com/blogOther Related Episodes: Looking for more tips to optimize your health?

Keto promises fat-burning magic and rapid weight loss. But the diet gets so restrictive that you have to avoid simple pleasures like cake, happy hour, and even fruit. In today’s episode, we uncover the truth about keto’s effectiveness for long-term health, beyond just weight loss.Yes, cutting out carbs helps with blood sugar stabilization and helps you lose weight, but is this approach to health really sustainable? Or is it just another diet that ultimately harms our relationship with food? I’m breaking down the reality of keto, from its initial appeal to long-term consequences on your body and mind.I will also share the top three questions you must ask yourself before starting a keto diet or any other weight loss diet. Plus, we’ll look at how keto compares to more holistic approaches that focus on overall health and not just weight loss.Conclusion:Diets like keto promise quick results, but they come with trade-offs that can affect your health in the long run. If you're looking for a lifestyle change, focus on balance and consistency, not perfection.

You’ve probably heard about the incredible benefits of fasting: weight loss, better metabolism, and even cellular repair. But for many women, it leads to fatigue, food obsession, and stalled weight loss.In today’s episode, I’m unpacking why intermittent fasting isn’t working for you, especially if you’re a woman navigating hormonal changes. I’ll explain how intermittent fasting affects women in perimenopause and menopause differently than it does men or younger women.Plus, I’ll share research that shows how fasting could actually disrupt your health and metabolism instead of improving them. If you’ve been frustrated by a lack of results from fasting, I’ll walk you through what you can do to fuel your body without the extremes of dieting.Conclusion:Don’t let the noise about intermittent fasting keep you stuck in a cycle of deprivation and frustration. Focus on nourishing your body with balanced meals, movement, and a mindset that prioritizes health over weight loss.
