Episode 141: Why Weight Loss is NOT the Same as Show Prep

Body Image, Confidence, Podcasts, Transformation, Weightloss

When it comes to changing weight and body composition, too many women have unrealistic expectations and a very disordered relationship with their body and food. I follow someone on Instagram who’ll be at the upcoming World Beauty Fitness and Fashion show, and she did a story around competition prep and dieting that I really appreciated and thought was important to share. So in today’s episode, I talk about why you shouldn’t treat show prep as a pathway to weight loss.

4:35 – What you must understand about competition diet and body transformation

6:07 – How show prep can perpetuate more suffering if you’re in it for the wrong reason

8:14 – Where your body transformation really starts

9:53 – How to protect yourself when faced with triggering factors about your body

11:11 – The place where you’ll most often find your weight loss results
