Description


(0:41) Welcome
Hello listeners! Welcome to Memorial Day weekend!
We have the bathing suit show for you this week!
Stacy and Sarah are both seeing a ton of ads popping up, pushing summer six-pack shame
Stacy is seeing a lot of people speak up about pushing back against this pressure
This is a guaranteed soap box show with lots of tangents, but trust that there will be tons of science as well
Stacy has witnessed the clap-back against certain influencers within Instagram
Celebrities calling out other celebrities for endorsing products that are actually destructive towards your health

This week Stacy and Sarah will be talking about feelings, bodies, health, all the things that summer gives us the feels for
But first, a big thank you and shout out to this week's episode sponsor, Joov
You know Stacy and Sarah both personally use and love their products

Sarah sees the beach body marketing as nothing more than predatory marketing
It gets people on the yo-yo
When we buy into this marketing, we end up in a cycle of poor self-worth
We then put ourselves on a restrictive diet and we lose the weight we think we are supposed to lose for summer so that we can fit what society tells us we are supposed to look like
And then we maintain that for a couple of months, but when fall comes we fall into a weight gain period through the holidays
There are so many people this is true for
We end up having this cyclical weight loss and weight gain
This yo-yo dieting is actually more harmful to our health than just staying overweight
Going back and forth and cycling is way more harmful than loving our bodies, focusing on health, nutrients, activity, sleep, and managing stress

Wherever you are feeling uncomfortable (as it pertains to your summer experiences), Stacy and Sarah hope to help you find ways to recalibrate your thinking
Ultimately the yo-yo mindest isn't just unhealthy physically, but it is also very unhealthy mentally and it puts us in a cycle of shame and negativity
Years ago Stacy wrote a post about disordered eatingand when/why/how to take a look at your eating choices to avoid disordered eating behaviors
People need to be careful about even yo-yoing within the Paleo template with challenges
It is so hard on your body and is so hard on your emotions
This will really take a toll on how you are able to enjoy your summer

Stacy shared how her body shame from when she was young impacted her summers, and how her mindset shifted when she had kids
She realized that she didn't want that shame mindset to impact her children and her experiences with them

When you let go of these "ideals" the healthier you are mentally and the healthier you are physically because you aren't hiding during the summer - you are getting out there, living and being active
It is so important to push outside of our comfort zone, know that it is going to be uncomfortable at first, but it will be so worth it


(11:01) The Physical Impact of Yo-Yo Dieting
Sarah wants to get into the physical side of this
Why to let go of the mentality of having to look a certain way in order to have fun in the summer so that you can get away from yo-yo dieting

When we are losing weight, we lose both body fat and lean muscle mass
It is very challenging to design a plan to preserve muscle mass through fat loss
It is not impossible, but most of the go-to ways for weight loss lead to muscle loss
With most strategies, you are going to lose about a pound of muscle per pound of fat lost
This is a typical body composition change while you are losing weight, especially through rapid weight loss strategies
Ex: keto, low carb, severe calorie restriction, carb cycling

The only way to avoid this is to eat a lot of protein and to carefully factor in the lifestyle pieces (like weight training, lots of sleep, and stress management)

How much muscle you have on yo
