Hello Carla and Gerard! I am 104 pounds down, and I will be joining you again this cycle to hopefully reach “great”. Thank you for all of the knowledge you share! Sending love to you both. 💜💜💜
“Do great days & let the days start to stack and all of the sudden your results you want are just waiting for you” I wrote this one on my fridge and it is simple but true! LOVE ❤️ IT!
dealing with infertility due to pcos was my challenge. felt the need for a consistent approach to wellness. watched Carla and Jared discuss weight loss and maintenance. Aspect Health guided me in understanding the importance of consistency. not advertising, just sharing. consistency is key in any health journey. find what works for you and show up for yourself daily.
I'm SO glad I came across your channel last year. In September 2023 I happened to come across one of your videos & it literally changed my life. I've lost 60 pounds so far and I couldn't be happier. I still have 48 pounds to my D2D goal, but still going strong, letting the days stack up... Best of all, I've returned to running, something I loved before I gained all the weight. So thank you for the ongoing inspiration, tips & motivation.
Interesting video, thank you Carla! The point that not every meal has to be delicious is definitely difficult for me to internalize as someone who loves to cook. However I notice that when I'm having really strong cravings, it's not for the food I make and eat at home but rather for salty/sugary processed snacks or restaurants. Being able to make food that tastes good and is good fuel is definitely a good thing in my opinion.
Great to hear this. I was just thinking about the point that weight loss is a specific intervention for a certain amount of time this morning when looking at my calorie counting app offering "lifetime access". I don't want to be trying to lose weight my whole life! 💜💜💜
💜💜💜 thank you!! This is exactly what I needed post-holidays! 35 more lbs to go! 💃🏼 I’ve been flying through all of your videos-I can’t even tell you how helpful you’ve been to me!! 🫶🏻
💜💜💜Two of the people on my 5 minutes of gratitude list! Where would I be if I hadn't found Carla and then Gerard? I shudder to think! You are changing people's lives for the better! It's great seeing you together, flushing out the concepts even more. I needed this. I'm looking forward to round 3! We go again! We go harder! 💪
OH MY GOODNESS! This has by far been the best vlog/video/podcast I have EVER listened to regarding weight loss. It was the best 22 minutes of the rest of my life! I took notes to re-read daily. Thank you Gerard and Carla for taking the time to share such quality information! I know it will be a journey, I am a sugar addict with 75lbs to lose, but with consistency and “self parenting”, I will find new enjoyments in life other than food and reach my goal of living a healthy new life!❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
love this video! atm, I'm doing meditation and reading a good book to change my state of mind. I only take a walk 2x a week, so that I definitely need to improve as well.
The "using food as a drug" really struck a cord with me. I'm able to change my habits all month except the week of my period. I'm finding ways to satisfy my food cravings with healthier options or smaller potions. But I still feel like my hormones are running the show. But I'm losing weight so I must be doing something right. 💜💜💜
Made so much sense if you can’t cut back cut it out. Sweets are my issue I have tried the three bite rule one cookie etc hasn’t worked I like what Carla said about the chips it takes time to control those triggers.
💜💜💜 I'm not someone who has done BodySlims but from listening to the chats you have with Gerard, the methodology behind the program is sound and tracks with the way I approached weight loss myself. (And Gerard is such a charmer, he could probably talk me into anything, so if I needed a guided weight-loss program, he'd have me signing up in a heartbeat!)
💜💜💜Love you both so much. I could listen to you talk all day. So much wisdom and common sense to share. Good luck with the start of the new course! xoxo
I am beginning my journey today. Your videos are so inspirational and offer insight that I’ve never had before! This video in particular is phenomenal. Thank you so much!
Dear Carla & Jared, can you please address the following question in your next conversation? I once had a coach who told me that I should see food only as fuel. I told her that that was like seeing sex only as procreation. I agree that not every meal in a busy life is going to be tasty but food is one of the great pleasures of life, even if you aren’t using it as a dopamine hit to numb or eat your feelings, etc. I think that maintenance on a bland regime of food is not sustainable. Eventually I would want to try something new, break out of the routine of eating mostly the same thing or just want to live a life where I really enjoy what I’m eating. Could you please interview someone who has maintained a healthy diet by eating a variety of healthy food that they enjoy? (For me, sharing that you eat basically the same thing every day is as unattainable for lifelong weight maintenance as it is to say you drink a diet smoothy ever day, etc. You get what I’m saying?)
💜💜💜 fantastic video, thank you Carla and Gerard! This is my first New Year EVER that I’m excited about continuing and not Re-starting my journey yet again. I’m looking forward to my third cycle with BodySlims and the progress I will make in the upcoming months! Have a fabulous New Year everyone and I wish you all well! Laura 💜💜💜
💜💜💜 I am so glad I found this as I am waiting to start on my first BodySlims cycle on Wednesday next week and needed a bit of a pep talk - Thank you both so much for this - Can't wait xx
You are so right! Learning to be consistent in your program has been a game changer for my weight loss journey. Thank you!! Can’t wait till next Wednesday 🎉
Carla, you've described me to a tee. One of my trigger foods is Bugles chips. I started therapy just after Christmas. You've opened my eyes to so many things through your vulnerability. Thank you. You've been the catalyst for so much positive change in so many lives.
💜 💜 💜 excellent tips. I have long been convinced that sugar is an addiction. It stems from my alcoholic parents and I’ve struggled with it all my life.
Is the walking still effective even if I really struggle to get my heart rate up into the fat burning zone? I’m already walking pretty fast and don’t want to have to jog.
💜💜💜”It’s actually just about doing great days and letting the days start to stack.” That’s a common sense yet also mind shifting perspective. So many good thoughts shared in this video. Thank you! 😊

Thank you Carla! I don’t know if I will join the program but you are always an inspiration 💜💜💜

💜💜💜. Thank you Carla and Gerard! Great content-- the balance of weight maintenance and loss😮....wowza; food as fuel not a dopamine hit😮. 😅

Consistency is key. That statement will remain the same no matter what we do. I love this video. Thanks for sharing. 💜💜💜

This was brilliant! Especially the point about getting your dopamine fix from food and “every meal doesn’t have to be delicious”
Interesting video, thank you Carla! The point that not every meal has to be delicious is definitely difficult for me to internalize as someone who loves to cook.

Being able to make food that tastes good and is good fuel is definitely a good thing in my opinion.
Oh for sure, tasty food will make it more enjoyable, but it doesn’t have to be the be all and end off of why we eat 🖤
