Unlocking Fat Loss: How to Stop Food Cravings Forever with Sherry Shaban
“It’s not true that for us to be healthy, we have to release weight. You actually have to be healthy first to release weight.” – Sherry Shaban
In this episode of Fall In Love with Fitness, I’m releasing Day 1 training of the Fat Loss 101 Masterclass I held two weeks ago. I reveal the critical role of the nervous system in weight management. I expand on why conventional diet and exercise methods often fail due to an overlooked factor I refer to as Protection Mode dominance.
My journey from chronic back pain sufferer to fitness expert highlights the power of understanding your body’s signals and regulating your nervous system- shifting from Protection Mode to Safety Mode. I unpack the underpinnings of self-sabotage, emotional eating, and the real mechanics of fat storage and release so you can start your journey to healing too.

- Shifting the nervous system from protection mode to safety mode is key to breaking the cycle of self-sabotage and compulsive eating behaviors.
- Effective weight management is not about another diet but about addressing underlying emotional and psychological factors.
- The biological mechanism behind mind hunger and body hunger helps distinguish between real hunger and emotional eating.
