    I have learnt many things from this podcast i am extremely glad i listened to it as i have learned a lot it has truly changed my perspective on nutrition. what really jumped out at me during the podcast was that nutrition is not as simple as food plans make it seem, everyones bodies are different and everyone needs a different plan.

      Every-body is unique and should be treated that way!

    I really enjoyed listening to this podcast and actually learned a lot about how I should be combining my workouts and nutrition. I plan to learn more in the future on nutrition and fitness, and expand on what I have learned before and from this podcast.

      Awesome! Great to hear and thanks for the feedback!

    This podcast was a great eye opener for myself. Kathy mentions how someone might eat cheese and then their body reacts negatively and she speaks about the importance of listening to our own bodies and eating the foods our body reacts best to. Nowadays its so easy to pick up a processed meal from the grocery with a long list of ingredients we cant pronounce simply because its convenient and requires minimal effort to prepare. The more I learn about nutrition, the more apparent it becomes how we should put in the extra effort to avoid these types of foods because although they might taste good, we have to consider the harm it does to us.

      So true Uri. The little extra effort will make a very big difference in the long run!

  5. Avatar Marci Jacobs

    This was an extremely informative and interesting podcast. I felt as though I am able to take the information I learnt from this podcast and apply it to my everyday life.

  6. Avatar Stephanie Fleming

    I enjoyed this podcast as I was provided with specific and realistic ways to feel healthy and happy, physically, socially, emotionally and mentally. She didn’t just say don’t eat, but gave way to have a good relationship with food and feeling amazing no matter what body type you are.

      Building a healthy relationship with food is extremely important. Thanks for listening!

    After listening to Kathy Smart talk about “Eating For Your Body Type” I learned a couple of different things. I learned that these trainers that give everyone the same plan won’t work. Just because the plan worked for that specific person doesn’t mean it will work for the next person. Everyone is different and they need to create their own workout plan based off what suits them best. I now know that I have to be careful when looking at weight loss companies like herbal magic because a lot of these companies will not help me improve my health. I learned that we can adjust how we eat with small substitutes for example replacing coffee with green tea to satisfy our need for caffeine. By making these small changes we will slowly adjust to improve our lifestyle. The best lesson I learned that I can take away from the podcast is that if it isn’t in the house you can’t eat it. By making smart decisions when shopping we can shape our eating habits to better improve our health.

      Thanks Benji…it’s so important that we understand that each person is different and deserves different treatment when it comes to nutrition and fitness! Cookie cutter plans don’t do us justice!

    For anyone who is struggling to grapple with their nutrition, weight or fitness regimen, I am confident this podcast will be especially helpful!

  10. Avatar Daniel

    Going into this I was really intrigued of what Kathy Smart had to say. I really wanted to understand my body and what i should be able to eat. Every persons body is different and i really do agree with that. I enjoyed this episode, this helped me.
