#176 - Breaking Free from Food Obsession: Why Real Change Starts in the Mind

Imagine treating a drink problem by selling someone branded low-alcohol beer. Sounds ridiculous, right?

Yet that’s exactly how we often approach weight problems , with food diaries, calorie counting, and obsession disguised as control.

In this episode, I share what really works when it comes to lasting change, not willpower, but identity shifts.

We’ll explore:

The flawed mindset behind most weight-loss tactics

Why obsession is the enemy of progress

What a revolutionary NHS project taught me about food and psychology

The power of “building boats” and why purpose can outperform any diet

How real transformation happens at the top of the change pyramid, not the bottom

This isn’t about fixing your “relationship with food.” It’s about moving your focus entirely, toward something more meaningful, more fulfilling, and more you.

If that sounds like the shift you’ve been looking for, there’s enough in the free membership area at actionfactorypublishing.com to get you started today. And don’t forget the 12-question quiz to find your level on the change pyramid, link’s somewhere around here.
