Stone Payton: [00:00:15] Welcome to the High Velocity Radio show, where we celebrate top performers producing better results and less time Stone Payton here with you this morning and you guys are in for such a real treat. Please join me in welcoming to the broadcast author, speaker and lifestyle fitness coach Marianna Cadore. How are you?

Mariana Cadore: [00:00:38] I’m very good. This show honor to be here with you.

Stone Payton: [00:00:43] Oh, it is such a delight to have you on the show. You know, you and I got a chance to visit, I don’t know, maybe a week or so ago, and I should have just pressed record right then and there. I learned so much. I found the conversation so incredibly inspiring. I can’t wait to share your energy and your insight with our audience. Got a hundred questions or more? We won’t get to them all, but maybe the best place to start is for you to share with us your overall mission, purpose, what you feel like you’re really out there trying, trying to do for folks.

Mariana Cadore: [00:01:16] Yes. First of all, my mission is to change one person, one person per time. They are hope towards achieving better results in life as it is in weight loss, as it is in feeling happier. I just want people to feel seen. And so to know that they can achieve whatever they dream of. And my my new book is all about weight loss and why people being failing on diets and how they can achieve what they so much want and deserve.

Stone Payton: [00:01:56] So we have to share the title of this book right out of the box because it is more so. So share the title and maybe some of what you learned as you were putting this book together and and doing your work.

Mariana Cadore: [00:02:08] Yes. So the name of the book is F the Diet. You complete the F, But I have to say, and F stands for forget No the other F, and it’s how to get off of the weight loss rollercoaster and lose one kilogram per week. And what I discovered during my 20 years working with people, it is they are prone to go for this exercise more, eat less, and then they are going to pick a diet. And what’s happened is they have the best intentions. But then just before they they always start on Monday, isn’t it, starting Monday or January. So then just before they start on Friday, they start to feel like, oh, I got to eat everything I want because from Monday I cannot anymore. So they start over eating and then on Monday they do it exactly by the book and probably we oh, wait ourself in the first day, second day, do I get the results I read or what is because we are suffering. The main point is we overeat before because we think is something that we’re going to suffer is something painful for us. You taking away from me, something that I really love. So I got to have this because I’m going to suffer for this time and our bodies know made for to go towards suffering. Our body and body is made to go towards the pleasurable thing that we we perceive as pleasure and avoid something that we perceive is painful is yes.

Mariana Cadore: [00:04:04] So when we when we go towards something that is painful and not going to last much. So that’s what diet does with us. And the problem is once you go for a diet and you put all your hopes and you believe and you tell someone and after ten days you cannot cope anymore with this diet, nevertheless, the consequence on the body where we can talk very soon, you start, you don’t believe in yourself. You think you are a failure. And that’s what I don’t want people to think you are not a failure. Is the system fail or new? You didn’t fail. The system was wrong, you know. And therefore, because of this reason I decide to do this book, I, I cannot believe people will think they are less worth because of the weight their bodies holding today. I. Ome want people to believe they are worth and in their weight. So I want people to look themselves today and see how beautiful and perfect they are. So just looking in the mirror like I’m beautiful. And from this mindset we start something beautiful and little things that can change everything and you going towards pleasure. That’s how we can do a change on the lifestyle. That is little change that will last a life long. And you can maintain a life long because nobody wants to lose for one moment, maximum six months and put it all back, isn’t it?

Stone Payton: [00:05:45] So what you described a moment ago, going through the more traditional kind of dieting process, I would think that that would create a great deal of stress for most people. And that cannot be good for you, huh?

Mariana Cadore: [00:06:01] That’s completely right. First of the things I I see is people need to be so healthy to go in diets because they going to put so much threat in the body. The body will not like when you change your. Let’s say you are eating 2500 calories and you change for 800 now. So you build die starvation. The body will go completely in threat so will activate mechanism for your survival. And the first thing that will do it, it will this regulate you hormonally. So everything you eat now, the body will make sure it is storage or new because it cannot pursue another starvation like this is a survival mechanism. That’s how we got so far as a species. So we cannot take this. If you go for this mode where the body understand is starvation, it will trigger this hormone imbalance to keep you and for you to survive. So will this regulate hormones and will lower your metabolism. So let’s use The Biggest Loser. This program. The Biggest Loser. Yeah. So. Yeah. Incredible. Scientists follow the winners for six years. And throughout these six winners, they lost so much weight was just unbelievable. We all got inspired saying, But the problem is, throughout the years they put it back, the full weight and more. And this scientists show why because now they were hunger with more hunger than ever, because they this regulate the mechanism that builds satiety. You feel like, oh, I ate enough, I don’t need anymore. This was dysregulated. So they feel hungry the whole day through.

Stone Payton: [00:08:09] Hmm.

Mariana Cadore: [00:08:10] Well, other than this, the body was burning less calories. So they have to eat so little just to maintain the weight in this disregulation less for up to six years. So everybody put all the weight back and everybody knows there was one person that didn’t put the weight back was one lady. And the only thing that happened with her is she transformed her life. She became a health coach. So her lifestyle was different. Everything she do at few and think was different so she could maintain the weight she lost. And she was not the one that won the program in the first place. She did the great weight loss, but she was not the the one that lost the most. But she could transform herself from the inside out, and that could last a life long. So it’s all these things that we see it and we know and we cannot keep seeing people failing on this. And and and few okay with this is we have a food industry made for profit. They are not concerned about your future and we now have an epidemic of obesity is very clear for us is the children up to 50% are considered obese now in America and then we have adults is just crazy. The numbers and even though I believe you should look, doesn’t matter your weight should look yourself in the mirror and find yourself beautiful because you are. But if you want to have a life with a quality of life above and beyond, if you want to feel amazing to do everything you imagine, you need a bottom body that follows you in your mind. So you need a body that is fit, that can cope with everything is healthy. And we now know that fatty fat tissue is responsible for great numbers of cases of diabetes, cancer and all the harsh disease. So we cannot just look like you look beautiful and stay where you are. You look beautiful. But I want you to feel amazing and to to be super healthy so you can really enjoy life. And this demand losing a bit of excess fat.

Stone Payton: [00:11:00] So when and how did this work start for you? What got you started doing this work?

Mariana Cadore: [00:11:08] Yes, for me it was I had the fight I had with food since I was a teenager. I really had no food freedom. I just love food. I still love with all. I really love food. I love cooking. I love all of this bit. So those packed meat you say to you, don’t eat that, but eat it. Once you connect with yourself, you’re going to know what to eat. So for me, I would eat too much and then feel guilt and train like crazy and and like put 18 kilos in six months. That’s something that had happened in my life. And and how this process of eating and then feeling really horrible about myself, how could I not control myself? How could so feeling really bad. So there was no pleasure. A part of the moment I was eating later on was just was a hell to be my body. And there was a moment as well when I had anorexia because I want to be a model. I was just 15 years old and I want to be a model. So they told me I had to lose weight. I was not fat at this moment. Yeah, I had a really good body. But, you know, models at this time was really, really skinny. So I decided I would lose 14 kilos. And and then I really had anorexia. And I just discovered I was knowing the right pet when I went to school. And one of my teachers was measuring the heart rate of all the students. And when he came to me, my heart rate was 32 and he told them, must not be right. And I knew I should be around 60 minimum. And I thought, Wow, I’m killing myself.

Mariana Cadore: [00:13:08] I’m going to die very soon. And I very soon out that people were saying to me I was too skinny. There was no good. All these thoughts start to pile up on my brain and I decide to start eating. But, you know, I didn’t solve the problem. So I just found the other side of the coin which was eating stop. So I didn’t solve the problem. I just went to the other side. So for me, most of the times, stop eating or eating too much is quite a similar thing, is is something that you need to deal with and you need to get freedom off so you can live a life that you love, eat things that you love, but the food, love your back. You know, it’s not this love when you love the food, but the food doesn’t love you. The food love you back and give you energy and give you like great thoughts and great emotions during the time and after. So it is this that I really discover is food freedom. Let’s reset your body. And it might be in many. There is many ways done that could be in your body and could be a system problem, could be a stress, could be lack of movement in your life and lifestyle. It could be that you don’t know how to eat and eating, paying attention like properly enjoying food. Because if we love food, we we must enjoy when we eat. So all of these details is what I decide to target. You have a pretty holistic feel that everybody can apply and start to have the transformation from the inside out with joy. Well, with joy because life is too short for suffering.

Stone Payton: [00:15:04] So you write about these topics. Obviously you’re a professional speaker, so you speak to to these topics and you are a lifestyle fitness coach, so you have a coaching practice. Tell us a little bit more about the about the coaching. How does that work?

Mariana Cadore: [00:15:20] Yes, So I have people going towards my reset method, which is a beautiful journey. People go 90 days where they go in a group and they have some one on one consultation with me, but they go in a group and we go through a journey of transforming them the way they eat, the way they think. So whatever they think, their behavior is a line, you know, we all know what we should be eating, but why don’t we eat what we should be eating? So there is a reason and that has to be addressed. So we go together and so many times the group give it this, this such a safe place and embracing that people get so much strength. So it’s not just me, but the power of a few people together working towards the same goal and transforming their lives. So it is just beautiful with 90 short days where you can really discover yourself and change your life once and for all. When you start to enjoy life completely different and more powerfully.

Stone Payton: [00:16:33] So I get the sense in talking to you that it’s not about it’s really not about willpower. It’s more willpower is not the key, is it?

Mariana Cadore: [00:16:45] No, because willpower we depend on one day of the moment, you know, the right sunshine, the right thing. So we depend on so many. Circumstance is no about willpower is about a decision and then discipline that we go forward. But always finding this energy that is full of joy where I teach people how to go to this energy where you can command your emotions and from that place you can have discipline because it’s joyful what you’re going to do. It is joyful. For how you are transforming your life for the better is no depriving from pleasure, which is what diets are about. It is really going towards a life full of joy, happiness and fulfillment. And you know, we high performance love. This is stuff. We love to have the best life as we can.

Stone Payton: [00:17:46] So tell us about the experience of of writing the book. Many of our listeners are entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs, and I know some of them feel like they have a book in them. What was that like? Did the book come together pretty easily or were there parts of it that were a lot of work?

Mariana Cadore: [00:18:06] That’s a great question. The book didn’t come from me very easy. If I had a problem in this life was to write. My mother language is Portuguese and I just hate Portuguese, so I hate writing. I have everything in my brain. So the book came because all of my clients say, Mariana, you have such a great methodology. We want to share with her friends, family. We want people to know what you do. But could you make this available for more people? And then I start to think, okay, I need to put this in paper. And that took me quite a long time to be able to put it. And I gave a lot of work for my editors as well. But, you know, once you want to do something, once you decide that I’m going to do a book. Everything is touchy for one place. I will not say that was easy for me, was not never something that I inspired to do it. But I see so much value in it that I couldn’t resist but should do it. So is it really if you decide that you’re going to do it, you’re going to find a way decided why is important and how will come to you.

Stone Payton: [00:19:26] It seems like you have so many ways to to serve the people who you are trying to to reach you. You have the book. You have the professional speaking. You have this coaching practice, and you’ve done some radio shows where you’re on the other side of the microphone, right? Like where you’re doing the interviewing or sharing the thoughts, the thought leadership. What’s that been like for you?

Mariana Cadore: [00:19:51] Well, so yes, I have a podcast, call it F the Diet. And so my mission is big. I want to leave a legacy in this world. So I do all of this and it’s great to have a podcast because you discover great minds and you just listen great stories, great thoughts, and you can learn so much like you guys are doing listening this incredible radio. And this is just phenomenal part of this. I go in companies and I put a program to the to the employees to go above and beyond. And it’s just sorting out what is going in this company. How can we bring these people for their best self so they can really perform? So I’m fascinated about human beings and how can I help with everything that I discover and everything that people taught me and mentors, books, everything that I learned through this whole journey I’ve been through so far, and how can I shortcut the results? And it is really beautiful and that’s what motivate me. And I won’t stop here. I have more projects and more because I have a mission. I really have a mission.

Stone Payton: [00:21:11] Well, I am so inspired by your work. Personally, I know our listeners are as well, and I’m really enamored. I’m very attracted to that. You’re helping people sort of escape the cycle of of trying a diet and failing because I got to I got to believe that really wears on a person and kind of that cannot be good for you when you try and fail and try and fail, that’s not good for you mentally, physically or any of that, right?

Mariana Cadore: [00:21:41] Yes. Ace, we’ve got to stop with this because we know better than this right now. The problem is really a lot of the knowledge is stop because people are greed for profit. So the ones that are not great for this and can share what is the way that we can really change the life. We have to do it. We have to do it because each one of us in this world are so important and so unique. Unless each one of us go to our best self, we cannot have the best world as we can. You know, each person have something that I don’t have. So what I can do for them is bringing them to the best place. And we can never deny our bodies because we see life throughout the lenses of our bodies. If you if any day in your life you think, No, no, no. It’s just the mind that matters. It’s just this that matters. Think about your way from an upset tummy and think if you could think great things in your life and dream about the future. No, You just dealing about today, you’re just surviving. So it’s so important for us to take care of this vessel, this body, before it calls attention of us, before it starts to say like I had too much. So if we can think beforehand, I start to think about my body after I took for granted my body for many, many years. And when I had an autoimmune disease called fibromyalgia is when I realized that I took for granted my health, my body. I was overusing my body without taking care and was in the process of healing this autoimmune disease that I realized that most of the people still have problems with self care. And I’m here to wake up people to say like, Oh, it’s a blessing to have a body that is working well, or even if it’s not still a blessing, there is things that are working well. So let’s take care of this and this body will give you ten times forward. Back to you.

Stone Payton: [00:24:09] Okay, Let’s make it easy for our listeners to get in touch with you. Have a conversation with you or someone on your team. Let’s make sure that they can easily access the the book. So whatever you think is appropriate, let’s give them website, LinkedIn, email. I want to make sure that that folks can connect with you and tap into this work so they can become their best selves.
