The Munro Method

There’s a bit of a perfect storm when it comes to food.

Loads of food tastes unreal. We genuinely enjoy it and like how it makes us feel.

And we also have to eat every day.

That’s where it gets tricky.

It’s not like alcohol where you can just decide not to drink. You have to engage with food daily, so you’ve got something you enjoy, something that gives you a lift, built into your life multiple times a day.

So of course it ends up being used for more than just hunger.

You’ve got your necessary eating. You’re hungry, you eat, job done.

But then there’s everything else.

The unnecessary eating.

And that’s not random.

That’s you using food.

To fill gaps in the day.
To deal with stress.
To change how you feel.
To give yourself something when most of your time is going into work, kids, other people.

That’s the bit people try to ignore or control.

But that’s the bit driving most of the problem.

Because if food is doing all of that for you…

You can’t just pull it away and expect everything to be fine.

There’s a reason it keeps showing up.

It’s not your fault. This is what dieting does to you.

It teaches you that the only way to manage yourself is with rules, control, and restriction.

So when something like Easter comes along, of course it feels like a problem.

Of course you feel like you need a plan.
Or damage control.
Or to “be good” again after.

Because that’s the only way you’ve been shown how to handle it.

But that approach only works when life is quiet enough that you can give it the amount of energy it needs to keep the barriers and walls intact.

And then life gets busier...

So it falls apart.

Again and again.

And this has nothing to do with you being weak or incapable.

It's becuase the way you've been taught to approach your weight, your eating and your health is so fragile.

I have worked with countless people who came to me after working with other coaches.

And, as you can imagine, after 8 years of this and working with thousands of people... I have heard a lot of stories.

And it is not all about Weight Watchers or Slimming World.

Something that comes up all the time is people who worked with coaches they found on Instagram or TikTok: "their recipes looked great, but they weren't very good at coaching."

Here is what happens.

A coach discovers that recipe videos get views (people love a cheese pull). Their follower count goes up. The algorithm rewards them. So they keep going, and before long their entire Instagram account, the one they use to advertise their coaching services and showcase their expertise, is just a highlight reel of other people's viral recipes.

9 videos of them reacting to people reacting to other people's recipes.

1 video about a calorie deficit.

Hundreds of thousands of views. Millions, sometimes.

And every now and again they drop in an "oh by the way, I'm a PT" or "I'm a nutrition coach."

So you sign up thinking, "well if I'm going to be eating food like that I'll actually stick to it this time."

And then reality hits.

Replies are slow because they are too busy filming the next video. The coaching amounts to "follow these recipes and hit these calories." There is no real support, no behaviour change, no understanding of why you keep ending up back at square one.

Here is the unfiltered truth from a qualified Nutritionist who knows you better than you know yourself:

You eat the way you do because of how you think and feel about food.

A recipe book is not going to change that. A meal plan is not going to change that.

You need to change the way you think about food, so you can change the way you act around food, so you can actually change your eating habits for life and live at the weight you want to be.

Which is the entire philosophy of The Munro Method and the reason I've spent the last month building the most in-depth program I've ever arn... the 8-Week Re-Wire.

Give me the next 8 weeks to help you star re-wiring the way you think, wo we can re-wire the way you eat and you won't just lose weigh

Day 23 of Munro's Musings.

You don't have a food problem.

You have a fear problem.

Think about it. Nobody finishes an entire bag of apples in one sitting and then spends the rest of the evening hating themselves for it. Nobody opens a bag of grapes, eats a handful, and then thinks "well, I've ruined it now, might as well finish them."

But swap those apples for chocolate. Swap those grapes for crisps.

Suddenly the whole thing falls apart.

And the reason isn't the food.
The food hasn't changed.

Chocolate isn't doing anything to you that an apple isn't doing. It's not more addictive. It's not more powerful. It doesn't have some special ability to override your self-control.

What it does have is twenty years of baggage attached to it. Twenty years of rules and restrictions you've tried to apply to it. Years of being told it's bad. That eating it means you've failed. That the only logical response to having some is to get rid of the evidence and start fresh on Monday.

That's what's driving the behaviour. Not the food. The fear around the food.

And until you deal with that, it doesn't matter what you eat or don't eat. The cycle continues.

Day 22 of Munro's musings

Yo-yo dieting, in a nutshell.

You force your way down to a weight…

That your normal life doesn’t support.

So of course it doesn’t last.

Because nothing underneath it changed.

Same habits.
Same patterns.
Same way of thinking around food.

Just with a layer of restriction on top.

And that works… for a bit.

Until it doesn’t.

Then the weight comes back.
And you’re left thinking something went wrong.

Nothing went wrong.

You just stopped forcing it.

And everything went back to normal.

That’s the loop.

Lose weight.
Regain it.
Start again.

Not because you can’t lose weight.

Because you’ve never actually learned how to live at that weight.

So instead of working on that…

You look for another plan.
Another structure.
Another set of rules to follow.

Anything that avoids dealing with the bit that actually matters.

How you eat.
How you think.
How you behave when life isn’t perfect.

That’s the work.

And most people keep putting it off for years.

And listen…

This is literally what I do all day, every day with the people I work with inside the Munro Method.

No more jumping between diets.
No more starting over.

We focus on the stuff that actually holds up in real life.

If that’s what you need, comment TRIAL30 and I’ll send you the details.
