9 biggest mistakes I see when it comes to healthy weight loss and healthy living. And how to fix them!

1. Underestimating “the small changes” (e.g. eating chocolates whilst watching football.)/ Trying to make it difficult.
2. Not planning so they end up hungry and no healthy food/ not loving healthy foods
3. Not making it “routine”
4. Skipping meals and waiting “until they’re hungry” to eat (and then eating unhealthy foods.)
5. Feeling overwhelmed, as if there isn’t enough time in the day to do everything./ Not taking care of their own emotions.
6. Stress and how we think about things.
7. Finding yourself eating sugar without thinking about it and then beating yourself up for it.
8. Life happening
9. Giving up and not prioritising/ staying in the same rut

It's not about whether they're "correct" or not.
It's about whether they're helpful.

They aren't.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. Today we have a really interesting guest called Marcia.

Marcia is going to be talking about her experience of having a stroke. Now spoilers, her stroke was not due to lifestyle factors. It was just one of those random events that happened.

Be Inspired By Marcia’s Recovery From Stroke Journey

Now you might be thinking, Dr. Orlena, why is this relevant to your podcast? Well, what I want you to take from this is her story of recovery and how she motivated herself to make changes and how if you can make changes when emergency happens, something huge happened to her life. and she was motivated to get back on track, to pull herself from that place and really get her life back.

Sign up here: https://www.drorlena.com/healthy-holidays 

Now, before I get into this, I just want to tell you that I am doing an amazing workshop on November the 16th called Healthy, Happy Holidays.

And I know that the holidays are a period of time when things just go haywire. For a variety of reasons, but mostly because there are yummy, delicious things to eat and drink, and we want to enjoy eating and drinking, and it is human nature to want to enjoy eating and drinking. But another part of us...

If you prefer junk food to healthy foods, it's really difficult to change how you eat. Which means, losing weight and leading a healthy life is going to be difficult.

Today I'm looking at why you prefer packaged foods and what you can do to start loving healthy foods so that you can enjoy healthy eating. And all the benefits that come with healthy eating.

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Fit and Fabulous with me, Dr. Orlena. Now, you may have noticed that I didn't do a podcast last week for the first time since my podcast has ever been going. There was no Tuesday podcast because my daughter on Saturday had an accident and ended up in hospital. I have to confess, it was the longest day of my entire life, and luckily I can talk about it now because she is safe.

She is back at home. But essentially she had a small bleed in her brain and it...
