I've been LOVE LOVE LOVING her podcast and suggestions. I would love to be part of her pnp tribe but it's way out of my price range... anyone else trying to follow her advice? I'd love to connect with those who are! I'm a part of her fb groupies group, but SO many people are in there and I feel like I could post every day with questions/feelings.

Come on, people! It's so so goooood!0

I remember taking a look at it a year or a year and a half ago, and I liked some stuff but not others. I did a few podcasts then decided it wasn't for me. I'm all for how it was advocating to make sustainable changes, those parts are great, but I disagree with the nutritional approach. I don't believe eating to hunger and listening to your body is something that works for everyone, and I dislike the lack of concrete data for me personally if I don't count calories. I don't like how things are labeled as healthy and unhealthy and a few other gripes, but the practical tips and mental strategies are alright.3
-
I think that the practical tips and mental is what I love about it. I have never considered myself an emotional eater... I thought you had to be crying with a tub of ice cream to be that way to be considered emotional. But I realized from listening to her and paying more attention that I eat to decompress alot. So after work from 4-6 is normally where I blow it. I haven't been able to stop counting calories, but I have been attempting to stop eating when full and wait until I'm hungry to eat.
My only thing with it is that I like fueling for workouts so that I'm not tired in the middle of them... I'm not sure that the hunger scale works in those cases.0 -
If you really want to work with the hunger scale, I suggest "context hunger eating". Eating to hunger is nice, but being rigid about it is restricting. Using it as a guideline is much more practical than using it as a rule. There are instances where it's okay to be hungry, and instances where it's okay to eat when not hungry. Fueling your workouts is an instance where it's okay to eat when not hungry. I also go a little bit hungry and eat smaller meals if I'm expecting to go out or planning a more calorie dense meal (I'm not the kind of person who finds it sustainable to skip fries or eat a sliver of cake). Whatever is sustainable to you. That was one of my issues with that podcast, what was sustainable for her is not necessarily what is sustainable for me, and the "healthy food" focus messes with my brain and makes dieting more stressful than it needs to be.5

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out! I can definitely see holes in some areas but maybe I missed the posts about healthy food? Shes always talking about eating what you want, just planning for it. That's what I liked about it was that she doesn't care what you do (keto, ww, whatever) as long as you put it on your plan for the day. I haven't really heard her talk much about this or that being "healthy" as much as she's been a stickler for making a plan for the day.
In fact, in one of the group posts, I told them that I was struggling with eating extra candy than what I planned everyday and her co-host, Cathy, encouraged me to put the extra candy on the plan and when I'm ready to take it off, replace it or whatever.
I like it because it's about starting where you are and slowly making changes... which feels a lot less restrictive than what I've done in the past and more sustainable in the long run.1 -
Oh that was not a recommendation, that was a term I made up. It means eating to hunger but within context, which allows for flexibility.2
-
Oh.. ha. You should coin that and make a podcast out of it lol.2
-
I love these podcasts. It works for me on so many levels. I can eat my definition of healthy- I already plan ahead but this makes it a formal process. I like to eat big meals and feel full- so I am more conscientious of hunger and fullness. I love the cut the BS and just do it2
-
I like her podcast, too! I'm not sure about some stuff, like not tracking what you're eating, but her whole thing about doing only things you can do for the rest of your life really hit me. Add me as a friend if you want, always looking for support.

Right? I think it's just so doable. Already, just paying more attention to my actions and thinking them through have help me to prepare for the times that I typically overeat. When I first get home to decompress, I want to chill out and eat. And if I eat something that lingers on my mouth (like spices or something) then I am tempted to eat sweets until the taste gone. I never noticed that I did those things!0 -

I know... I do want to get to a place where I don't have to track. I've been paying attention to when I'm actually hungry and stopping when I'm satisfied. Some days I do it reallly welll and it's encouraging... other days... not so much.
Honestly though, even when I count calories, I push the limits sometimes saying "This is only 90 calories... I can go a little over and it wont matter" or "but I didn't finish my coffee, so I can have a few more calories." Adding!0 -
I'm listening to her podcast too and love it! I don't necessarily take her advice on the nutritional side of things . . . I'm going to keep counting calories. That worked for me in the past and it's going to work for me in the future. What I do appreciate is the mental side of things! I'm trying to change my way of thinking. Everytime I get the idea into my head that i'm just going to have a "little" bit of something or a small "treat" her voice pops up in my head "Are you going to die if you don't eat this?" Nope!1

I have stumbled upon her podcast and am considering joining the tribe. Just wish it wasn't so expensive.0

If you enjoy this podcast you may also enjoy "half size me". I personally like it better, so I thought someone else may enjoy it.1

I just found her podcast. What is the cost for tribe membership?0

I think it's one of the healthiest podcasts about losing weight. Some things she said resonated strongly with my experience, especially the part about causes for weight regain. (Which has happened to me)
I think the value of her podcast is not in the nutrition part since I don't think she is a nutritionist, but in the sustainable weight loss mentality.
To sum down what she is "bitching and preaching" about (as I understood):
- be realistic
- every day do the effort to do a bit better (whatever that means to you)
- meet yourself where you are at now - IMO very important point of accepting your current state, adjusting your ambitions to it and building up from there
- practice self-care and positive self-talk, don't expect it to come with weight loss - if you skip this, chances are you'll gain the weight back because weight loss is not confidence builder per se. Even more, while we are losing weight we are more focused on our body which makes us prone to many new insecurities.
- you're smart enough to find what works for you nutritionally
- cut any self-shaming at its roots - if you made a mistake, move on, try to do better and leave it behind
The part about counting calories or relying on hunger I don't find very important, I can see value in each approach.
I think counting calories could give us a good inside about the nutritional value of food. Also, years of overeating messed up hunger clues for many of us, so sometimes it's helpful to reset those clues with calorie counting.
That being said, last time I've lost most of my extra weight I did without calory counting, eating a bit after I felt hunger.2 -

I like Half Size Me better, too. Although the early podcasts are a bit woo-ey.2 -
I listened to her first 20 podcasts, but it’s not for me. I found it to be pretty repitious. I am not the type of person who can eat until full. It takes my brain a while to realize that I am full. Calorie counting works better for me. I do agree with the meal prepping part of it though, not enough to pay the amount she charges for joining her tribe. I think I’ll take a look at Half Size Me. I found one that sounds good this morning, Weight Loss for Foodies, that I’m going to check out too.0
-
I'm planning to check it out. Thanks for the recommendation!0
-
My favorite podcast is Weight Loss for Foodies with Shari Broder. I like her approach best. I've lost almost 50 pounds doing it without dieting, and I'm post-menopause! You should check it out!1
-
Also, Shari has a program that costs a lot less, and you don't have to pay monthly. You just pay once. I think it's around $500.0

Just listened to a couple, and no. Most people don't need to pay $500 to be told to eat to hunger signals (which doesn't work for everybody anyway). I personally can understand subscriptions, you're paying for a well-defined service and you get to choose the period of commitment. You only pay until you no longer feel the service is worth paying for. I even understand paying for a product, like the reasonably priced courses and books that halfsizeme does, but I personally think those overpriced one time payment systems are a ripoff. They make it seem like it's a steal because you're not paying a subscription, but in reality, most people do not stay with subscriptions long enough for that one time payment to be a good deal.0 -

Now having listened to her for a while... I agree. I'm over it because it just seems to be all about Corrine. She's God's gift to the universe, and much of her reasons are "stop it cause I said so and that is bullsh*t thinking." I liked that she addressed the mental side of weight loss. But it's hard to keep listening to her keep saying the same things over and over.1 -
breefoshee I would LOVE to have a buddy to do this program with! Lets connect. I too am on FB groupie pages but would like a smaller or group or even a one on one partner in crime to talk about this with!!0

Listened to her podcast. I’m
An emotional eater. Think it will help my thinking.May join her tribe in the Spring Will track my food using this app too0 -
I follow her podcast and I'm intending to join April 1-3 this year when she opens for new Tribe members. A few thoughts (from my perspective; not to find fault with anyone else's thoughts here):
1) she does talk a lot about herself - although I don't have 100 pounds to lose, I have lost 25 on my own (it was more but I'm gaining again) and need to lose another 25. I find her journey similar to mine in many ways, and I need things repeated, so I'm ok with her talking about herself.
2) she is expensive, however, I'm a former Weight Watchers member and I think, in the course of a year, Corinne is cheaper than WW.
3) I like that there are daily workbooks; daily check-ins and basically, 24 hour help. Noom, WW... no other program I've tried, checked out, or read about provides that kind of support. Again, it's something I really need.
4) I'm going to be 64 in June. Believe me, I've tried everything out there. Corinne works on changing thinking and self-talk. I need that so badly, and I cannot afford $175/hour for therapy about it.
Anyway, it's been interesting reading your different perspectives. I hope you've done well with your own journeys!2 -
I followed her for a while. Very repetitive, too much so, for my taste. She did it on her own. I’ve done it before on my own. It’s basically calorie counting and moving more. I prefer Weight Loss for Foodies.1
-
I really like her podcast for making me be honest and tough love. I like half size me as well. For me... It's a take what I need from each perspective and use in my journey!0
-
Late to the show....
I've been listening to Corrine's podcasts for a while now and want to joint the tribe, but just can't afford it. Not the fee PLUS a monthly fee. Too rich for my blood. I have about 45 lbs to lose, but am stalling big time. I'm an emotional eater and especially with COVID-19 in the mix, the stress and anxiety are doing a number on me.
Good luck to you all! I hope success smiles upon you!0 -
Is anyone doing this Tribe membership program now? and how is it? and what does it cost? Love to hear your views on it. I did do Corinne's 5 days challenge in 2020 and that was pretty awesome. I listen to her on Clubhouse and she does stand out and can make the house lit up.0
