Are you constantly consumed with thoughts of food and what God must think about you?
Do you measure your relationship with God based on your success with dieting and losing weight?
As a Christian, I want to give you encouragement today on how to navigate the diet mentality while seeking after God.  It sometimes feels so lonely and hard.  I want you to know you are not alone.
If you would like to get some prayer around this, email me at taraj@dietditching.com
 

Do you think that cutting your carbohydrates is the best way to lose the weight because it worked for you 15 years ago? 
Are you looking at eliminating fat from your diet because you think it will make you fat?
In today's episode, we are talking about the most important macro that impacts your weight loss - protein.
I am giving you 4 reasons why it is the most important and hopefully some insights on how to get more into your day!
If you need some protein suggestions, email me at taraj@dietditching.com

Tired of hearing that protein is the top macro for weight loss? Unsure how to incorporate the necessary amount into your daily diet?
Feeling overwhelmed by the myriad of protein powder options and questioning their value?
In this episode, I'll explain why it's worthwhile to include them in your regular diet. Many women don't consume enough protein. Powders make it easier to increase intake without having to consume more food or snack on chicken breasts – not so appealing, right?
They can assist in achieving the protein levels needed for weight loss and fat loss goals.
I'll also share my favorite products and my preferred way to make a shake.
Favorites include:
Vegan - Truvani: I prefer the peanut butter flavor, but chocolate is also good. Find it on Amazon
Vegan - Orgain: Available at Costco.  I wait until it goes on sale!
Whey - Legion: Chocolate is my go-to flavor.
Whey - Ascent: Chocolate is also my favorite here.  Also available at Costco. I get it on sale!
Here's my top shake recipe:
- 1 cup frozen blueberries- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach- 1 scoop of protein powder (vegan versions preferred as whey tends to froth too much)- 1 TBSP chia or flaxmeal for fiber- 1 TBSP MCT oil for healthy fats- A few ice cubes and possibly a little water
Blend until smooth (I use a Nutribullet).

Do you find yourself eating in secret due to fear of judgment?
Do you sneak away to consume foods you believe you're not "supposed to" eat?
Concealing our actions often indicates a deeper emotional issue. God sees all and is always with us. Yet, sometimes, the shame pushes us further from Him rather than drawing us nearer.
I want to offer encouragement today. His grace is enough, and there is liberation in bringing these actions to light. He wishes for you to discover true freedom and put an end to this behavior.

As summer nears, do you immediately think of cutting calories drastically to prepare for the beach or a vacation?
Do you consider skipping meals when the scale shows an increase?
In this episode, I'll share three cautions against calorie deprivation to meet a summer weight goal. This approach can backfire for some, leading them down an unintended path.
For others, yo-yo dieting and deprivation can negatively impact metabolism. I'll explain how to manage a calorie deficit correctly for sustainable results rather than long-term damage.
