My Personal Fat Loss Protocol
Primal Potential
by Elizabeth Benton
2w ago
In my early 30s I lost over 100 pounds after a lifetime of disordered eating and extreme yo-yo dieting. I didn’t take drugs or have gastric bypass, and the biggest changes I made weren’t related to food or exercise (though I certainly cleaned up my diet and worked out). Over a decade ago, what I really needed in order to get results was to think differently. I had to stop with the “I’ll start tomorrow” narrative. I had to stop convincing myself that I deserved a pass because I was stressed, tired or overwhelmed. I had to replace my familiar stories about how this one thing wouldn’t hurt. Much ..read more

What You Must Know About Building Muscle
Primal Potential

There are some things we need to discuss around the topic of building muscle, especially if you’re someone who hasn’t made it a big priority (yet). Your muscle mass has been accurately described as your body’s equivalent of both your 401K and your health insurance. That’s some important stuff! A 401K pays dividends down the line and your health insurance covers you in case of a medical situation. Well, your muscle mass does the same. It pays dividends down the line and offers significant protection in case of acute or chronic health situations. It bums me out that so many people have overlooke ..read more

This Might Be Why Progress Feels So Hard
Primal Potential

Sometimes when we talk about money, weight, fitness or relationships, it’s hard to take in critical lessons because we’re subconsciously defensive. They can be touchy subjects, especially if you’re in place where progress feels so hard and like such a battle. In those situations, I like to introduce the critical concepts with examples that have nothing to do with the sensitive areas we’re struggling in. Let me tell you a story… I’m in a business mastermind because one of my priorities is to keep learning and growing. A couple weeks ago, as part of this mastermind, I sat through a presentation ..read more

All Success People Do This

(And You Probably Aren’t Doing it Enough) If there was a drinking game or a bingo card inside The Consistency Course, you’d win (or get wasted) if you had “successful people ask for help”. The dramatic majority of us aren’t doing it enough. If you’ll bear with me, I want to tell you a quick (important) story. For the last year or so, Primal Potential has been a 1 woman show — me. For many years, I had a team helping me. I had help with tech stuff, administrative stuff and project planning/execution stuff. After Dagny died, I realized I just wasn’t in a place where I could lead a team. Mental ..read more

Why You’re Struggling with Consistency
Primal Potential

9M ago
If you’re anything like me, struggling with consistency is frustrating. It used to drive me crazy that I could want a goal so desperately, establish a clear plan to get there and then continue to make excuses and let myself off the hook. Not long ago I implemented a new strategy that is helping me a ton with my consistency in every area of my life, and I want to share it with you! Here’s how this came up for me most recently. I wanted to take a new course but I was feeling nervous that I might pay for the course and not do the work. Have you ever been in that situation? It’s happened to me a ..read more

How To Become Consistent – My Top Tool After Working with Clients for a Decade
Primal Potential

10M ago
You know what to do but you just aren’t doing it. Or, maybe you’re doing it sometimes, but it seems impossible to get consistent. Your schedule gets thrown for a loop, you have to work late, the kids are sick, you’re in a bad mood, it’s a holiday, vacation or special event…the reasons are endless and you just have no idea how you can possibly stay consistent. It sounds great though, doesn’t it? Even if it sounds unlikely, out of reach or even impossible, it sounds heavenly. What would life be like if you didn’t constantly feel bombarded by temptation? Or if you weren’t always faced with somet ..read more

Plant Based Diet or Animal Based Diet? Which Does The Research Support?
Primal Potential
by Elizabeth Benton
1y ago
A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a long-time listener who shared that she feels a plant-based diet is best for human health. Though she didn’t share any particular research, she indicated that her research indicated that plant based diets offer health benefits not seen in animal based diets. I disagree and I want to explain why but more importantly, I want to shed some light on why nutrition research can be misleading. How is it possible that nutrition research can indicate that plant based diets lower cholesterol, lower inflammation and reduce risk of chronic disease due to the ..read more
