      • The podcast has kicked off the New Year focused on making healthy nutrition and lifestyle changes with the mentality of making it a sustainable, longterm solution. If you missed the first couple episodes, check them out here:

        • TPV Podcast, Episode 335: How Many Vegetables Part 3: Souping vs Smoothies
      • Cassy notes we give diets so much power. It can be easy to get sucked up into the negative mentality that eating off plan makes you “bad” or “a failure.” But that’s not true! You’re creating a lifestyle so it’s important to be kind to yourself, move on, and keep going instead of beating yourself up and falling off the wagon.
      • Stacy wonders how we can find the balance between living a healthy, sustainable life and the stress of yoyo-dieting.
      • Cassy says the object of the game is not to eat as few foods as possible. The goal is to heal and eat a variety of foods to get maximize nutrient density.
        • Are you choosing foods for health? Or are you choosing foods based on arbitrary rules and restrictions.
      • Sarah jumps in highlighting the difference between dieting and lifestyle.
        • Dieting: following rules and restrictions to acheive a short term goal
        • Lifestyle: a long term goal where you’re finding balance and sustainability so you can continue this diet and lifestyle for the rest of your life.
      • Sarah notices that in the AIP community, because it’s such a restrictive protocol (even though it’s a healing protocol), it can create the “diet mentality” that causes person to be afraid to reintroduce foods.
    • (23:51) How do you stay on track after ditching the ‘diet mentality’?

      • Cassy says it’s about being very strategic with your reintroductions, being thoughtful and careful. When you’re following a plan, it can take some of the scariness out of these transitions. But it’s important to trust the process and trust your coach.
      • Instead of feeling like you failed on a diet, what if the diet failed you? It might not have been the right program for you.
      • Cassy recommends sticking to the principles of good nutrition, sleep, exercise, and when you choose to indulge, enjoy it and move on the next day instead of beating yourself up. Indulgences don’t have to be a “cheat” they can be part of your plan!
      • Stacy notes when you call something a cheat, you’re assigning a negative emotion to that food.
    • (33:56) Strategies for creating sustainable habits

      • Cassy says once your program is over, don’t feel like you have to abandon all the healthy principles you learned! Pick your favorite healthy practices, tendencies, foods, etc, that you learned from the program and continue them.
      • Meal planning and prep are essential to get your nutrition on track.
