Embrace Your Appetite
9 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 4 years ago -If you think you have to choose between being satisfied or being healthy THINK AGAIN! Being satisfied IS the key to better nutrition. One reason fad diets don't work is that, at best, they manage hunger- not your whole appetite. Your God-given appetite is so much more than just hunger To get satisfied you have to listen to your appetite and take care of it. You don't need more willpower, you need more want-power! You can eat what you love and learn to love healthy food. Best of all, you can feel good and look good doing this. If a food addict like myself can, so can you!

Family recipes and breaking your own rules
March 28, 2020 10:00 - 8 minutes - 5.74 MBI love family recipes. They are time tested and often so reliable. And using a family recipe feels like you are sharing a meal with that beloved family member. I have been told a story of a woman who used a family recipe for a roast that both her mother and grandmother used. As she routinely prepared the roast, her own daughter asked her why she cut off the ends of the roast. She wasn’t really sure. So she asked Grandmother, who laughed and said she did this because the roast was always too...

Secrets of your appetite: Part 4- learned cues
February 28, 2020 20:00 - 10 minutes - 7.25 MBBefore we discuss how learned cues affect your appetite, I want to start by clarifying what I mean by learned cues. These are things that we are conditioned to respond to. For example, when you type in a password that you use ALL the time, it’s almost like you don’t even have to think about the wording, but your fingers type it out instantly. Or, have you ever gone on autopilot and driven in the wrong direction, because it is the direction you usually use to go places. Basically, it's a hab...

In moments we can go from not thinking about food to needing to eat that food. Like now! And have you ever been faced with deciding what to eat but nothing sounded very good until you see what someone else is eating and bam, now you want it?

Secrets of your appetite: Part 2-stomach pressure
February 01, 2020 16:00 - 11 minutes - 7.75 MBWe only hear about how we are programmed to crave junk. I share ways to help you find and use the built-in success mechanisms we have. (see double dopamine podast). Stomach pressure greatly affects our desire to eat. When there is low stomach pressure we want to eat and fill our bellies. These are hunger pangs. When we have high pressure from a big meal we start to get uncomfortable and that tells us to stop. This mechanism is all about avoiding discomfort. Sometimes this feeling comes wi...
Secrets of your appetite: Part 1-low blood glucose level
January 20, 2020 18:00 - 19 minutes - 13.1 MBToday I’m going to uncover the first of four reasons we feel the urge to eat. I will teach you a little about how to use this knowledge to comfortably eat less food for the rest of your life. And eating less is the foundation for weighing less and feeling great. This is NOT a how-to-give-yourself-anorexia. It is so far from that. This is a how-to-eat guide, not a how-to-restrict guide. No one focuses on the eating part of nutrition, we always focus so much on what we are eating, but it is s...

Check it out at www.dietingdifferently.com/blog. It sparked some additional thoughts Years ago, I was listening to the radio (probably NPR!) and the speaker declared that we really only have the here and now. We can’t step into the future in order to change it, nor can we rewind and undo things. Life truly is made up of a mill...
