What should we do when our diets don’t work, or when we’re never successful when we try to diet? Elizabeth Benton of Primal Potential talks about finding the solution from the inside-out and making small but impactful changes in our daily life. She shares about how changing our mindset is the key not only to lasting weight loss but, more importantly, to lasting happiness.
Topics Discussed in this Episode:
- Elizabeth’s journey towards changing her mindset
- Healing from the inside-out
- Building mindfulness around your food choices
- Taking small steps towards wellness
- Sustaining the changes you make in your lifestyle
- Learning the stories about yourself and changing the narrative
- Building awareness through journaling
Key Takeaways:
- The compulsion to eat something can be fueled by being disengaged.
- Doing some internal work around your mindset first will not only help you to lose weight but also sustain the changes you’ve made in your lifestyle.
- If you don’t change the way you think, then you will continue to stumble at the same excuses, the same setbacks, the same barriers that you always did before.
- There’s a difference between not having control and not taking control. Anybody who tells themselves they don’t have control when it comes to their diet and lifestyle isn’t being honest. They do have control, but they’re not taking it.
Action Steps:
- Change your mindset.
- Commit to making changes in your lifestyle, one small thing at a time.
- Start your day by identifying how you want to feel today. As Elizabeth’s mantra goes, “The goal is the feeling.”
- Build awareness through journaling.

“Change isn’t something that happens from the outside-in… It really has to begin with changing the way you think and changing your mindset. And when you do that, you just remove all the barriers.”
“We can get short-term results with short-term strategies, but that’s a crappy way to live because you keep doing all of this work only to do it again.”
