The Balanced Mind Diet IDENTITY RENO

Mindset, Weight Loss, yo-yo-diet, , , , , ,

STOP Dieting.

START Renovating.

Your Identity Is the Key to Lasting Weight Loss

Years of battling with eating habits or weight cycling can twist our thinking in two unhelpful ways: 

1. We become trapped in obsessive, food-focused thoughts as our minds try to “solve the problem.” 

2. We develop a harsh inner-critic to explain why we’re struggling, blaming ourselves at every turn, causing shame, anxiety, eroding our self-trust and reinforcing the problem. 

The result is an identity formed around our food story. You see yourself as a “binge eater” or an “overeater,” and your subconscious mind keeps your actions in alignment with that identity.  It’s a trap.

But that identity story is not you. It’s just a script. And scripts can be rewritten. 

The IDENTITY RENO gets into the root causes of your subconscious food story and teaches you how to work WITH (not against) your subconscious mind to break free from the old identity and story that’s been holding you back.

What’s different about the IDENTITY RENO Project?

There are no:

❌ restrictive diets that leave you feeling deprived

❌ hours and hours on the treadmill

❌ calorie counting or weighing food

❌ gruelling gym workouts that just seem to make you more hungry

❌ complicated eating plans that are impossible to maintain over the long term

❌ willpower and self-control battles to “be good” and eat “right”

Imagine being able to

✅ No longer be driven by constant thoughts about food

✅ Achieve and easily maintain your ideal body weight

✅ Enjoy the freedom of being able to wear clothes you love

✅ Feel sexy and attractive in your body and mind

Comments from past IDENTITY RENO Project participants:

Polina B
The IDENTITY RENO project helped me look at things differently, not just looking at exercising and diet which I was already implementing in my life everyday life, but also considering my mental state, how to calm myself and feel good mentally first of all. It gave me confidence that I will reach my goal weight in the future, although I will do it in a different way.  

Helene E
This program is not hard to do at all. It’s just that you have to think about what you’re doing and be mindful, and that’s the key for me, at least. I’m really relieved because when I’m implementing small steps I know I can do it for a very long time and it’s sustainable. And I really love that.  

Evi V
I got even more than I expected. There was a lot of valuable material delivered in the program, not only about identity, but the approach to dieting and exercise. I moved from weight loss efforts driven by guilt to weight loss based on a more positive, future oriented perception of myself. I feel I have made a fresh start, a new beginning, and it is a more gentle
approach that has really changed the way I see myself.

Stop Bouncing from Fad Diet to Fad Diet

Unlock A New You With The Balanced Mind Diet Instead

Are you tired of…
❌ Starting a new diet every month, only to give up weeks later?
❌ Feeling guilty every time you eat something “off-limits”?
❌ Exhausting your willpower just to make it through the day without bingeing?
❌ Watching the scale go up and down like a yo-yo?
❌ Feeling like you’re at war with your own body and mind?

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone. Millions of women in their 40s and 50s are stuck in this frustrating cycle. A study followed 14 Biggest Loser contestants for six years after the show and all but one regained weight. Four became heavier than when they started the show. But your story can be different.

There is another way. This is why I wrote the Balanced Mind Diet micro book.

How is this different from other books you’ve tried?

This book has no dietary guidelines, no exercise plans. It does not recommend any particular way of eating, and it does not promote or sell any pills, supplements or meal replacement shakes. What it delivers is a revelation about what has really been derailing your weight loss efforts and concrete steps you can take to produce lasting weight loss.

This isn’t another fad diet or quick fix. Because the truth is that diets don’t work.

With the Balanced Mind Diet, you’ll experience:
✅ Freedom from relying on sheer willpower
✅ No more forbidden foods or extreme restrictions
✅ An end to complicated calorie counting and point systems
✅ No need for expensive supplements or special foods

Most fad diets feel like a chore, and even if you do lose weight, you often put it back on – with interest – later down the road.

Right now, you might be:
👎 Jumping from one crazy diet to another with no lasting results
👎 Battling relentless food cravings that derail your weight loss plans
👎 Watching the scale creep up despite your best efforts
👎 Struggling to keep up with a busy life, feeling overwhelmed and out of control.

But after using the Balanced Mind Diet to transform your mind AND your body, your life will look very different:
👉 Enjoy a balanced, healthy relationship with food, feeling satisfied and nourished without deprivation
👉 Feel energized and confident, effortlessly maintaining a healthy weight without gruelling workouts
👉 Experience a clear, focused mind, free from constant stress and anxiety about your weight

Imagine a life full of joy, confidence, and freedom – without the endless cycle of weight loss-weight gain, weight loss-weight gain.

With the Balanced Mind Diet, you’ll wave goodbye to
❌ Restrictive diets that leave you hungry and miserable
❌ Exhausting workouts that yield no results
❌ Endless calorie counting and food anxiety
❌ Emotional eating and guilt-ridden binges
❌ Low energy and lack of motivation

For just $3, this transformative micro book will show you
* How to align your conscious desires with your subconscious beliefs
* How to transform your self-identity to match your weight loss aspirations
* How to implement small, consistent changes that lead to lasting results

The Balanced Mind Diet is ALL you need for lasting weight loss, renewed energy, and true confidence.

You may be wondering: Is this really going to work for me?
The answer is, it depends. Reading the book won’t change anything, because knowledge without action is useless. However, if you implement the concepts from the book it will produce a transformation in your thinking, your actions and your outcomes.

Don’t let another day pass feeling frustrated and defeated.

It’s time to stop the cycle of fad diets and embrace a balanced, mindful approach to eating and living.

Know what to do, but can’t make yourself do it?

Holistic Health, Weight Loss, Wellness, ,

You are not alone. This is a common problem for people who are trying to lose weight. You probably are really hard on yourself. You think you are weak or lazy. But that is not true.

The fact is that there is a wealth of knowledge out there on the internet. Lots of information about anything you want to know how to do. When it comes to weight loss, there are many different approaches that work when implemented:

  • Keto
  • Carnivore
  • Vegan
  • Calorie counting
  • Low carb

All of these have their pluses and minuses. I personally favour keto, but it is not the only or best approach, nor is it an approach that suits everyone. I personally can’t stand calorie counting – that would drive me to distraction – but it works for some people.

The problem is not usually with knowing what to do.

The problem is usually that you can’t make yourself do it (oh – no – that’s it, isn’t it?).

The solution does not lie in accountability to keep you on track with your plan. This sometimes helps, and may be effective in the short term. You join a program or hire a coach. It helps. But it is not a pathway to long term success.

If you want to make a lasting change it needs to be a lifestyle change. Otherwise it is difficult to implement and even harder to sustain over the long term.

HoloBody is a holistic approach that uses techniques such as MCII (Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions) to drive action. MCII is a scientific method that creates implementation intention.

HoloBody (holo being short for holistic) addresses more than diet and exercise. It is about more than weight loss – it is a pathway to your total wellness. It is a journey to being the best version of yourself. And with HoloBody you will find you CAN experience success that lasts.

Be, Do, Have

Holistic Health, Uncategorized, Weight Loss, , , , ,

When we try to shape behaviours we usually do it around the outcome we want. We focus on the end result, on what we want to HAVE and work backwards. I want to weigh x kilos, therefore I must do y and z.

But if this goes against the grain of who you are (your BEing), it can be hard to sustain the DOing. This is a recipe for initiating new behaviours that you can’t make stick. The new behaviours are only temporary changes that seem difficult and cannot be sustained over the long term. You never get to HAVE the outcome you want.

Here’s a tip to make things easier. Start with BEing.

Ask: Who do I need to BE? Who is the type of person that gets the outcome I want? If I want to lose weight, what would a person who is losing weight do?

Take action with a focus on your identity (who you are BEing) rather than your outcome (what you want to Have). This creates a self-improvement feedback loop. You identify the kind of person need to BE. You start with one behaviour that kind of person does. The more you DO that behaviour, the more you reinforce the belief that you are BEing the kind of person that gets the result you want. Magic!

For example, a person who is losing weight plans in advance what they eat so they can choose foods that fuel their body rather than eating whatever is on hand or most emotionally satisfying.

You begin to plan your meals in advance.

Now you are BEing the person who is DOing the things that result in your desired outcome.

You have created a spiral. The more you DO the thing, the more you come to believe you are BEing the kind of person who gets the outcome you want. Doing the thing gets easier and easier. The behaviours become integrated and automatic.

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to BEcome.
It eventually becomes a part of who you are.

Way to go!!

You just need to balance calories IN and calories OUT (!!?)

Holistic Health, Weight Loss, Wellness

That was my doctor’s advice. It didn’t work for me. It doesn’t seem to work for most people.

How your body burns calories depends on a number of factors. Two people can eat the exact same number of calories but have very different outcomes.

Have you addressed these factors:

  • Gut microbiome
  • Nutrient richness
  • Hormone levels
  • Inflammation in the body
  • Sleep amount and quality
  • Stress resilience
  • Social connection
  • Connection with nature
  • Frequency of body movement throughout the day
  • Sense of purpose

If you want to create lasting change you need to look at more than just diet and exercise.

HoloBody’s mind-body approach is holistic, addressing all the factors above. It provides tools and exercises that condition not just your body, but your mind and even your soul, giving you a lifetime of optimal health, healing, and vitality.

An extraordinary life can only be lived in an extraordinary body

You’re often told that lifelong health and fitness is about exercising, eating wholesome food and making the right lifestyle choices. This translates to dieting and working out at the gym, and it forces you onto a hamster wheel of temporary gains and unsustainable lifestyle changes.

The beauty of HoloBody’s mind-body approach is that it creates powerful change not just in your physical functions but in your subconscious mechanisms – including your emotions and even your self-identity. The result is that the health and fitness upgrades you make don’t just stick with you for a season: they become a permanent part of who you are. An indispensable ally on your path of personal growth and transformation.

If you want to live an extraordinary life, you need the kind of change that becomes a natural part of your lifestyle. Change that is easily sustained over the long term, producing the highest expression of vitality your body can have.

Contact me if you are ready to get off the hamster wheel and make lasting change.

The natural rhythm for weight loss

Weight Loss

To lose weight you need sleep.  Sounds simple, but it is actually quite complicated. 

Sleep has a natural rhythm in harmony with the light and dark patterns of each day.

We have an inbuilt circadian clock that is set by sunrise and sunset.  The sunset gives a signal for our body to wind down, start to feel sleepy and gracefully transition into sleep.

This natural rhythm has unfortunately been disrupted by the invention of the light bulb which artificially extends the hours of light long past sunset.

Add to that our use of digital devices – television screens, computers, mobiles, ipads etc – which, when used after dark, suppress the release of melatonin – the hormone that makes us feel sleepy.

There is more.  Getting carried away with video games, feeling the urge to get on top of our emails or binge watching Netflix also has the effect of releasing cortisol to give us a “second wind” so that we can stay awake.  Chronically elevated evening cortisol can bind with the appetite receptors in the brain and trigger you to consume high-calorie foods.  Are you starting to get the idea this is a downward spiral?

Nights filled with this kind of digital stimulation paired with the result of consistently getting insufficient sleep can make you insulin resistant – so you are more likely to store what you eat as fat. (Oh no!)  And you will crave sugar because you are not accessing and burning your internal energy stores in the efficient way your body is designed to operate when everything is optimal. (Even worse!)

The seasons have a rhythm too. During the long bright days of summer we are programmed to eat extra carbs and store them as fat to see us through the winter.  In line with natural light patterns we will sleep much more during the short days and long nights of winter and need less sleep during the long summer days. However, artificially lengthened days have tricked our body into thinking it is summer all the time. So we are perpetually in fat storing mode.

What to do?

  • Turn down the lights – after sunset use candles or lamps in preference to room lights and install blue light blockers on your digital devices. Have blackout curtains in your bedroom.
  • Create an evening ritual to prepare for sleep. Shut off all devices, have a warm bath, change into your pyjamas.
  • Timing is everything. Try to go to bed at the same time each night. Ideally, wake up naturally around sunrise, without the need for an alarm clock.  Getting to bed late and sleeping in does not work, even if you get the same number of hours of sleep. Your cycle is mis-aligned with your natural circadian rhythm and you will not experience enough of the deep restorative sleep your body needs.

So to assist your weight loss efforts, it is important to get into the right sleep rhythm.  I hope this article helps you along on your weight loss journey.

How to maintain weight loss

Weight Loss

What happens when you reach your weight loss goal? How do you maintain your ideal weight?

Unfortunately only 20% of people who lose weight keep it off long term (definition: lose at least 10% of body weight and keep it off for a minimum of one year). The majority yo-yo between weight loss and weight gain, and usually gain back more weight than they lost (oops).

To avoid this happening to you, in addition to having a strong reason why you want to lose weight in the first place, you will need to set up a supportive
• food environment,
• lifestyle, and
• social circle.

Starting at the beginning of your weight loss journey, make small incremental changes in these three areas so that by the time you reach your goal you will be set up to maintain your ideal weight (yay!).

Food Environment
Have only healthy foods available – purge processed foods from your home, or store them where you can’t see them and they are not readily accessible. Then place the fresh produce and healthy food choices front and centre. Make healthy food and snacks at home and plan ahead so that you take good food with you to work and when travelling.

Lifestyle and habits
Have a think about your work schedule, family life and activity levels and make incremental changes over time to support your weight loss goals. Try to build exercise into your day naturally, or begin an activity that is fun or includes a social element.

Social Circle
Share your goals with close friends and family and ask for their support. Find others on the same path and encourage each other. Join a community of people (it can be online) who will inspire you and give you great ideas and strategies to help you along.

Plan ahead and set yourself up for long-term success.
