It’s difficult for ppl who’s brains are wired for addiction…
That one bite just leads to more…
Some ppl actually need to abstain certain foods. It’s like alcoholics .. or other addictions.. 😢 .. it’s me. Very hard. I have that kinda brain.

After I went through cancer it has been difficult to eat healthy and deny myself treats. It is like I am not sure tomorrow is coming and why shouldn’t I enjoy myself now…

1. Pause
Be mindful

2. Take your time
Set a timer for 10 minutes and do something else.

3. Indulge mindfully
Have a little bit of the treat.

4. Don't do negative self talk
It's not a guilty pleasure, it's pleasure.

Feeling comfortable with discomfort...excellent advice! Earlier today I sat in McDonalds parking lot talking to a friend. My plan was to get a coffee but as I sat there, my mouth hunger was triggered by the picture of food on the building...and I started craving a Big Mac and fries too just because I saw a picture! As I got off the phone and in the drive-thru line I had a moment of reflection...yes, this would taste pretty good (not as good as it used to when I was a kid but...do I really want to do that? ) I'm glad the line was moving slowly b/c the answer was NO! Today I was strong...and seeing this video now is confirmation that this is to be my new habit! Reflection. Be in the moment...and wait. Today I came home and made a delicious salad of spinach, arugula, salami, cheese and olives, plus a big batch of steamed broccoli. I felt so much better afterwards than I would have if I had given into that momentary craving! Thank you for your wonderfully fun and informative videos! Your guests are always awesome too. Y'all must have a lot of fun working together.

These points are the basic premise of a group program I completed through my local community health centre here in Canada, led by two dieticians. We met once a week for three weeks and then had one additional meeting just to chat and reinforce what we'd learned. I have lost just over 60 lbs. and have maintained that loss for several years. It was a slow process; the first 50 lbs. took five years, but with a change in lifestyle and thinking I have no trouble whatsoever maintaining my current weight. I eat whatever I want in moderation. Mindfulness is key.

Thanks for posting this! Am an emotional eater and love to eat late at night. Usually it's just a bowl of cereal. Sometimes ice cream. Your guest was awesome and always enjoy your videos!

"If you're being chased by a bear, don't reach for the maple sugar bacon. Run!" LOL. You guys are the best thing to ever happen to YouTube.

Another great video! I started watching you when I was looking for information on total knee replacement surgery and have stayed for the fantastic information you share!

[joanneb]

I find that when I eat very low carb, my cravings go away. It's the sugar and bad processed foods that feed my cravings.

I finally can give myself permission to enjoy the dopamine rush I get from binge-watching your videos! Great info in this one as always!

Thanks Docs, I’m loving your talks, your guests, your helpful information on all your videos. It’s always easy to understand you both about some very important things that happen in our lives and you truly take the scariness and fear away about operations. Knowledge is power and knowing what to expect takes away my anxiety. Thanks guys. May you both have a great day .❤️

Great video. Thanks for being real! It's refreshing as opposed to the do-as-I-say type.
