Brigid Titgemeier, who coaches thousands of women including Fortune 500 CEOs, argues that mindset is the biggest lever for lasting habit change. One donut triggers an all-or-nothing spiral that sabotages progress. Instead, build a pleasure-based relationship with food focused on whole, nutrient-dense choices rather than calorie counting.
What I will say in working with thousands and thousands of women, including Fortune 500 CEOs and extremely successful podcasters, bestselling authors, senators, celebrities, etc., is that mindset at the end of the day is one of the biggest levers to change your long-term habits, that you cannot have the mindset that you have today and expect to have the results. It requires going deeper into your mindset, proving to yourself that you are capable of making this a lifestyle, not sabotaging yourself when you're stressed. Then you throw in the towel and it leads to this cycle of, oh well, I had the donut, so what the hell, I might as well have the Oreos and the other donuts and the bagels and, and all these other foods because I've quote unquote blown it. It requires you to be able to have a holistic, healthy relationship with food where you're thinking about and enjoying the consumption of whole nutrient-dense foods, where you experience a level of joy and satisfaction and pleasure from honoring your body's needs and nourishing yourselves in a way that isn't so specifically derived from calorie counting or macro counting or numbers-focused approach.
