Being fat is not about the food. We all want it to be, but it's not. If it were about the food, there wouldn't be an 85% recidivism rate. People wouldn't regain all the lost weight plus an average of 25% more than when they started out. 

I put on 150 pounds in less than five years; I went from the 180s to the 330s. It also took me two and a half years to lose 200 pounds. What I learnt through all that was that gaining and losing weight doesn't happen quickly. It takes time. And if what we eat was the only key to unlocking the obesity crisis, losing weight and keeping it off would be easy.

In this episode, I explain why losing weight is not about the food we eat. I also explain the difference between emotional and physical hunger - and what to do when you’re not physically hungry but feel like eating.

What You'll Learn:

  • The problem with modern weight loss diets
  • How to fix your relationship with food
  • Is emotional hunger a real thing?
  • Learning to pause and ask yourself, 'am I hungry?'
  • How to distinguish between emotional and physical hunger
  • Ways to deal with eating to feed an emotion
  • The difference between being full and being satisfied
