Episode 38: Enjoy the Halloween holiday without sabotaging your weight loss goals.
Blog Description:
Halloween is nearly upon us.... and the beginning of what I call "Sugar Season"! This is the time between Halloween and Easter when sugar-containing foods and beverages are marketed to us almost constantly. Tune in as Marchelle and I give you some tips and strategies for getting through Halloween.... including what to give any kids who may drop by looking for treats!
Timestamps:
6:58 I want you to just start noticing and becoming aware of all of these deliberate attempts to do what my colleague, David Kessler calls, hijacking the brain. They are purposely hijacking our brains to get us to want to buy this stuff.
9:01 I want you to be a part of the solution and not part of the problem this season. So let's talk about what we can do to start with on Halloween. So do you remember me saying that animal studies show that sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine? Remember that? So let's think for a minute about what we do on Halloween, it's this tradition to pass candy out to children. And if you know that sugar is a powerfully addictive drug. Do you want to be giving this drug out to children on Halloween?
And so it does sound harsh that we're passing drugs (sugar) out to children on Halloween. But I do want us to be a least thinking twice about what we're doing, but I also don't want to take the fun out of Halloween either. So let's think about what you can do on Halloween instead of passing drugs out to children. So maybe you could give them some other sort of little treats instead of candy.
15:09 So the first thing you can feel good about is that you get ‘sugar season’ started out the right way. So you send a message to your own brain, to yourself, that you're not going to buy into this deliberate effort by the food industry to sell junk for the next six or seven months!
We're smarter than that. Second thing is you get to be on the leading edge of preventing diabetes.
