EC 223: Chaotic Foods with Louise Digby 02 Aug 202400:38:07

I coined the term chaotic foods to refer to products that have negative and unexpected effects on the body.

In this episode, I chat with nutritional therapist Louise Digby about her take on this topic, as well as sharing some revelations about processed foods that our conversation sparked in me.

Discover:

*Why diet foods can backfire so badly

*Why ultra-processed foods have zero nutritional qualities, but also why they promote overconsumption

*Why fat and carbs can be so addictive

*Why inflammation is such a problem - not least because of how people view it

*How these foods increase food cravings 

*Why hormones are a scapegoat for other issues

*The effect sugar has on the menstrual cycle

*What Louise advises her clients to do re: artificial sweeteners

*The power of retraining your tastebuds

*Louise’s 80/20 nutritional principle

EC222: Real Life Type 2 Diabetes Stories17 May 202400:28:08

Book a call to talk about coaching here: 

https://www.theshiftinside.com/coaching/

In this episode, I explore two very different real life type 2 stories.

In the first story, we meet Hannah, whose food intake was very much controlled by what I call The Inner Food Rebel.

I also interview a client of mine who in 6 weeks has dropped his A1C measure from 58 (well into type 2 territory) to 50 (pre-diabetes) and dropped 6 kilos. Find out how he achieved this.

There are four ways that Hannah and my client diverge. Four factors in their respective outcomes:

1: The Role That Food Plays

2: Control

3: All or Nothing vs Moderation

4: Possibly the most important factor of them all. Listen in to find out what it is.

EC 210: How To Truly Accept Your Body 09 Nov 202200:24:15

This episode is a follow on from episode 207 on your body as your long lost twin. Listen to that here:

https://eatingcoach.libsyn.com/ec-207-your-body-is-your-long-lost-twin

Today I talk about three ways to reconnect to that long lost twin inside you and make those important health and weight goals much more easily achievable.

 

Reconnection Point 1: Eating Presence

What is eating presence? Well, it’s slow eating, Jim - but not as we know it.

Slow eating has probably the same status in your mind as watching paint dry while being poked with a sharp stick - boring and painful.

 

No lie - it is uncomfortable. But in the same way that many of the great leaps forward in your life (getting married, becoming a parent, getting the promotion) involved discomfort, it is so worth it.

 

So what has eating slowly got to do with feeling more connected to your body? Well, when you are eating slowly, you are NOT eating fast - and speed eating is a surefire way to check out of your body. It’s as if you have to drug yourself just to sit next to your wounded self in the canteen of life. It’s like Back to the Future where George McFly is the wounded self, Biff the bully is the inner critic, and Marty (Michael J Fox) is the part of you that is eating slowly to sit by George.

 

Reconnection Point 2: Evolutionary Psychology

Evolutionary psychology is, in a nutshell, the part of our brain left over from our cavedwelling ancestors: our Cavebrain. Fight or flight is one example - you switch into lightning fast reaction mode if you see a dangerous driver or your child runs into the road.

The great news is that you can use your Cavebrain to feel more body acceptance. 



Reconnection Point 3: Possibility Shifting

People have been in struggle for years and years around their health. Limiting beliefs are the culprit - but simply telling yourself to ignore them. The truth is that these beliefs are a faulty coping mechanism. In this episode I go into more details on this.

Join the free planning session for the 3x1 project on Tues 1st Nov 8pm UK/4pm EST (Note different time difference this week only)

https://www.theshiftinside.com/sessions/

The 3x1 Project is a one month, low maintenance way to slide a healthy new habit into your busy life - right under the radar of your self sabotage! 

                  

How many times have you started off with phrases like MASSIVE ACTION careering round your brain, high on your good intentions - only to be tripped up by your own resistance ……days later (you insert the number)

 

What if you accepted that resistance is a fact of life, and instead created a workaround that allowed you to make real, sustainable progress on ONE area of your health?

This is the 3 x 1 plan 

One Seedling Change 

One Structural Scaffold in your daily routine 

Once a day track your progress and celebrate 

This approach will teach your mind and body to act in spite of your own resistance AND FEEL AWESOME in the process. You will train your brain to get a hit of feel good dopamine from even small successes. What do you think is going to happen to your motivation? It will skyrocket. And your resistance? It will divebomb.

EC 206: The Rebel Wilson Secret to Sustainable Weight Loss04 Oct 202200:09:22

Top of many people's health goals is weight loss. The problem with this is that this perfectly useful measure of health has been corrupted by the diet and beauty industries, who have injected harsh unrealistic expectations into the mix, along with a nice toxic dose of body shame.

Actor Rebel Wilson's story around her weight loss departs from virtually every other celeb's yo yo dieting, and she has a lot to teach us about the difference between toxic perfectionism and healthy health goals.

 

There are two distinct reasons that I am guessing that underlie Rebel's sustainable weight change 

Find out what they are in this episode.

 

Journaling for this topic:

Write down all the reasons you have to lose weight. Now put them in order of internal importance. For example, if you have written ‘to ease joint pain’ and then ‘to fit into my favourite dress’ then easing joint pain must come before the dress, because it impacts your life on a deeper level. Think health, think ease of movement, think what else you could do that you cannot nowadays.

Now look at the top and bottom reasons and notice if your motivation has shifted. Do you feel any better focusing on the most important item? Who else benefit from you easing this problem?

I would love to know what came top of your list, so please email me info (at)theshiftinside.com

Both express polar opposite ways of looking at the power of food, politically and legally. But curiously, together they express the same misunderstanding about food…one that causes misery for millions of people today. Find out more in this episode...

The Cravings Anti-Challenge

https://shiftinside.vipmembervault.com/products/courses/view/1139918

Starring Albert Einstein, The Minions & your Inner Food Rebel. This free 3-day adventure reveals how even the most dyed-in-the-wool food rebel can disrupt their cravings and walk away from sugar - without willpower, self-discipline or even self-belief. Discover:
  • The strategy I stole from Einstein (no physics degree required) that sidesteps struggle and is a backdoor to saying no to sugar - even when you have zero willpower

  • What anti-cravings Minions are 

  • Who your Inner Food Rebel is, and how to enlist their help to transform making healthy choices into kick-ass empowerment
  • How to channel Harry Potter to walk away from any junk food

  What Is An Anti-Challenge?

One of the main problems for compulsive eaters is that they are caught between two opposing energies within them (all this gets explained during the 3 sessions). One of these is their Inner Food Rebel. And there's nothing a rebel loves more than disrupting rules that are imposed onto it. And that is kind of the definition of a challenge! We are going to be craftier and more subtle than to try to dictate to ourselves :) 

In anti-challenge, we ditch willpower and self-belief in order to tap into sit down for peace talks with our self-sabotage...while tying its shoelaces under the table!

 

Starts Monday 26th September

This free anti-challenge is a mix of 3 Zoom calls and other materials, such as audio visualisations. Don't worry if you cannot attend all of the calls, because each session will be recorded.

The hidden gifts of diabetes? Are you bonkers, Harriet?

Well, no. This episode will give you a massive Aha moment as you turn your dread and fear about your health into a feeling that you can do something about this thing.

In this episode, I reveal three positives that you have probably never considered before about this condition.

Gift No. 1: It’s A Wake Up Call

Gift No. 3: The Unexpected One

The key changes that will reverse your type 2 diabetes - eating better, moving more and reducing stress - create real pleasure. This stands in opposition to fake pleasure which is a product of ultra processed foods, couch potatoing your way through the weekend and overstimulation.

Misbehaving with integrity (MWI) is a term Clarissa Pinkola Estes coined in her book The Late Bloomer. However it’s not just older people who can benefit from MWI - most recovering food compulsives absolutely need to do it!

In this episode I talk about what MWI is and the huge benefits for you reclaiming your life from food.

Benefit #1 It acts against accepting bad treatment

Benefit #2 It stops you having to censor your life yourself (Which you do to avoid #1)

EC 199: Fundamental Fatribution Error02 Aug 202200:10:59

Heads Up

Here’s the link to access the talk on Carrot or Stick? Neither! On Wed 3rd August at 8pm UK (3pm Eastern)

https://www.facebook.com/groups/eatingcoachgroup

 

What is The Fundamental Fatribution Error?

I made this term up. It is a corrupted version of the fundamental attribution error (FAE), which is the mistake we make when we for example blame others' bad driving on personality defects, but if we cut someone up in traffic it is usually down to factors outside our control. Most people believe that they are above averagely skilled drivers.

The fundamental fatribution error (FFE) is when you weaponise the FAE against yourself, and is exemplified by self attack statements like "I'm so fat because It's so undisciplined"

In this episode you will find out why the FFE is so toxic AND so strangely comforting…as well as an alternative.

 

 

About The Carrot and Stick Talk on Wed 3rd August:

We all know about carrots and sticks when it comes to human motivation. Punish or reward yourself (or get someone else to do it for you) and you are sorted…right?

Wrong.

This Wednesday at 8pm UK (3pm EST) I will be talking about why I don't think either really work for stopping binge eating or freeing yourself from junk food addictions like sugar.

For anyone with a history of food compulsion, the stick will trigger their Inner Food Rebel, a force 1000 times more powerful than any goals you might set.

I have found that carrot does work SOMETIMES for me…but only under certain conditions. And it has never really landed with any of my clients.

So…what can we replace the carrot and the stick with?

Something deeper. Something that always works. Something that connects you to a more powerful way of living. Something that is totally transferable to other areas you need motivation for.

This talk will be live in the Eating Coach Facebook group. If you are not already a member, join here:

EC 198: What Arrival Teaches Us About Compulsive Eating26 Jul 202200:07:42

One of my favourite films is Arrival, starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. But it's not just a great movie - it is a brilliant metaphor for ending binge eating.

Adams plays Louise Banks, a linguist who the army have asked to help do a bit of translation.

Alien translation.

Yup, there's a egg-shaped UFO floating in the air, and it's all down to her to find out why.

In this clip, we see Louise take off her protective suit in order to really communicate properly with the aliens.

Everyone is freaked out, but no harm comes to her.

In this clip, the protective suit is emotional eating, and the aliens are life. The beautiful, messy, uncertain life you miss out on when you keep yourself finished via binges and junk food.

Louise takes a risk and realises she CAN get to know the aliens better. 

Are you willing to take the risk of managing your life without food? What might your life look like without food compulsion?

5 Minute Appetite Suppressant Session This Thursday 28th July 

Get access here: 

https://www.theshiftinside.com/sessions/

 

Imagine if there were an appetite suppressant that was 100% natural, with zero side effects. 

One that is also a digestive aid and can help reduce stress.

The only drawback is that you need to sit and do nothing for 5 minutes while the pill takes effect.

Oh yes, and it's free too.

Q: Would you take it?

A: Why the heck wouldn't you? Something 100% natural that makes you eat less, with a price tag of £0.

At this point you may be thinking: What's the catch, Harriet? 

And there is one - but it's a catch in the same way that you need to learn to read in order to enjoy The Harry Potter series.

A 'catch' that you'll be glad exists.

Ok,  so the catch, the big reveal - is that this appetite suppressant is….

Slow eating.

Ta-dah! 

Confused? Disappointed?

 

Yes Harriet, I’m Totally Confused

What if I told you that eating fast blocks satiety (fullness) signals to your brain. Your stomach can’t really know it has had food if it’s coming in too fast - and your body cannot properly digest and use the nutrients in the food if you have not chewed it properly.

This is a bit like a quiet drink in a cosy pub that suddenly gets overwhelmed by 20 party goers. How well would you be able to get to know each of the new arrivals?

 

Yes Harriet, I’m Pretty Disappointed

What if I told you that eating fast puts your body into a state of stress, which triggers the release of cortisol - the fat storage hormone which is responsible for millions of people's central obesity AKA belly fat. 

 

Central obesity is one indicator that you could be starting down the path to type II diabetes.

 

So maybe the point of slow eating is to avoid eating your way to a big tummy and a big health problem down the line.

 

Now, what if I told you that there was a easier-than-you-think way to get started with this thing that you assume is too hard and undervalue in order to justify your perception of its difficulty? 

 

The answer is to get started in five minute increments.

 

The answer is to turn slow eating into a game, thereby removing all the pressure.

 

The answer is to leverage the power of a tribe to motivate you.

 

The answer is to attend The Eating Coach Zoom session on Thursday 28th July at 8pm UK time.

It is free, but there will be no recording. This is only for people who take the trouble to attend. It is a highly experiential session. (Can't make it? Email me info (at) theshiftinside dot com - as I can re run this session if there is enough interest).

In it you will….

* Understand the science behind why slow eating is such a powerful appetite suppressant and digestive aid, not to mention anti-stress technique

* Discover two simple and fun slow eating games that work with zero effort on your part

 

What you will NOT have to do:

No need to eat slowly for more than five minutes 

No need to eat on camera (you can turn it off if you like - your choice)

 

Bring a piece of fruit or salad veg (eg apple, banana, cucumber, celery etc), a plate and a knife 

This session is free. If you already get my Note From emails, there is no action to take - I will remind you and send you the Zoom link in good time.

Otherwise, fill in the form to ensure you get the Zoom link. This will not be posted in the Facebook group.

“This is the greatest moment of your life, and you’re off somewhere, missing it!”

Guess the movie this quote comes from.

Now guess the lesson it has for you reclaiming your life from food.

Thirdly, guess what that quote has in common with this one from Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince:

“It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.”

No idea? Then listen in and I will reveal all.

Pop Quiz:

#1 Would you give a five-year-old Tolstoy's epic War and Peace as reading homework?

No, no - and once again NO!

So why do millions of people regularly do the equivalent in terms of managing their health and weight?

War and Peaceing your health means taking steps that are far too advanced for you.

EC 194: Date Your Dinners!11 Jul 202200:06:48

Heads up: Join the Eating Coach Facebook group here to access the Live talk on parent-child dynamic:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/eatingcoachgroup

You've heard of dinner dates, right?

But have you ever thought about dating your dinner???

You: What madness is this, Harriet? 

Me: This quite ludicrous title hides a very powerful shift that is the foundation for this work.

It is highly likely that for a long time you have been in a parent-child dynamic with how you eat.

Basically this involves the diet being the strict parent and the dieter being the naughty child who cannot be trusted to make their own food choices.

Looking to a diet or personal trainer or ANY external meal plan for instructions you must slavishly adhere to in meal planning and eating is to risk putting yourself in the naughty child role - because too often these meal plans etc are sold as temporary escapism.

Think: lose 10lbs in a week and so on.

No human (except those giving birth) can do so sustainably.


Instead, we are going to EXPERIMENT with trying new ways of eating. Think of me as a matchmaker, helping you find the best way to eat for yourself. If I was a dating coach, my job would not be to force my idea of Mr or Mrs Perfect onto you, but to help you meet someone who is good for you, but also that you want to date again.

Cheers now

Harriet 

PS I will be  in the Eating Coach Facebook group tomorrow (Wed 13th) for a new weeklyfeature - talks called What Really Works Wednesdays. I'm going to talk about something called the parent - child dynamic that is at the heart of so many compulsive eaters' food issues.

EC193: The Junk Food Anaesthetic07 Jul 202200:06:02

The Eating Coach is back with a series of short 5-6 min episode for your pleasure during the month of July. Today: How junk food is an anaesthetic (as well as being damn hard to spell!).

Check out the Facebook group where I will be posting more content. https://www.facebook.com/groups/eatingcoachgroup

Many people understand that emotional eating is trying to do the job of managing life, a bit like a sticking plaster or band aid.

But what I have realised is that it serves a much more subtle and invisibly powerful function - that of an anaesthetic.

If you've ever come down from any kind of high (be it from food or overstimulation) and used a takeaway to fill that emotional gap - you are using food as an anaesthetic.

If you binge because you are dreading the meeting with person X - you are using food as an anaesthetic.

If you use sugar as dutch courage before an interview in the same way alcoholics nip into the pub - you are using food as an anaesthetic.

The question is - does the anaesthetic ever work? If it did, then you would have renewed vigour, boss that meeting and ace the interview - you would be more confident with the help of food.

Of course not.

No anaesthetic can ever do more than a temporary job. That's what they are meant for. Great for dental work, rotten for emotional eating.

So the question to ask yourself before you anaesthetise yourself via the deli aisle is this:

Is it worth it?

The Eating Coach podcast is back and in this episode I have two more  questions you can ask to alienate yourself from that anaesthetic.

Cheers now!

Next episode out within the next few days

https://shiftinside.vipmembervault.com/products/courses/view/1128432

In this episode, I interview Lindsay, one of my clients, on her experience putting emotional eating out of a job.

In this empowering chat, you will hear about…

*Going from feeling like a broken sugar addict to being able to say no to dessert at a big social occasion

*The awesome question (starting with “What does….”) Lindsay uses to bring herself to alignment with her higher self

*The shift from eating 7 pieces of wedding cake to not even wanting the junk after taking a bite of it

*How quitting sugar changed her relationship with herself

*Lindsay’s PCOS diagnosis and the link with binge eating

*The awesome rebel-against-your-food rebellion strategy I taught her and how it meant saying no to sugar was actually FUN

*How this work gave her the confidence to quit another addiction

Release Emotional Eating Programme

The Adventurer's Mindset

Getting ready for this life-changing transformation and ending the toxic trash talk about yourself takes a specific framework:

The daily practice of shifting from passive sufferer to hero/ine's journey mindset

How to put a gagging order on your inner critic

The counterintuitive power of low commitment and gamification 

 

Nutrition For Emotional Wellbeing

You see junk food as your emotional saviour, but behind the scenes it is making things worse. Learn better coping strategies to use when you really need them

 

Discover how junk foods hijacks your brain chemistry

Practise eating a nutritious AND pleasurable diet that will elbow the mood-hijacking junk out of the way - without you feeling torn between what is right and what feels good.

How to use The Staircase Approach to transition from the addict's dependence to nutritional, craving-free eating.

 

Emotional Regulation

Difficult emotions have been demonised, and it is also these feelings that trigger compulsive eating. Is it possible that there is some link between suppression and bingeing? Hint: Yes there is!

Learn how to use the emotions as messengers reframe as a positive constructive scaffold for managing them. 

Step-by-step processes that support you in learning how to manage your feelings.

Dealing with anger and guilt: safely channel and release what you should not be holding on to. Imagine what a weight off that will be!

 

Eating Presence

If you have been using mealtimes to squash your emotions, then it follows that when you use the strategy I have coined eating presence, you eat in a way that ensure you stop doing this. It happens in a very gradual, step-by-step process.

Slow eating games - it is impossible to eat emotionally when you slow down. Gamification reduces the pressure and makes it fun! 

Meal planning for people who hate meal planning. Strategies, games and tapping into the power of the subconscious.

The 90% Beats Perfection rule - why you will never eat 100% consciously, and why you shouldn't even try.

 

Boundary Repair

Emotional eating is a very understandable but ineffective way to manage relationships where the dynamic is unbalanced. If you feel like other people walk all over you and you feel nervous about standing up to them, this module will be invaluable for you.

Subtle strategies to ward off energy vampires in a classy, no-conflict way

How to strengthen your boundaries in a way that feels emotionally safe

In today's episode, we look at the second major component (as well as emotional regulation)  of freeing yourself from emotional eating: Eating Presence.

In a nutshell, Eating Presence means eating nutritious food slowly.

It doesn't mean being perfect and trying to turn yourself into a poster girl/boy for low carb/keto/paleo/no dairy/no sugar etc etc.

It means aiming for the most nutritious meals possible, while still allowing pleasure.

And it means eating them consciously.

In this episode I go into detail about what Eating Presence means in the real world, and we hear from on of my clients and how it has helped her.

Release

My group coaching programme to free yourself from emotional eating starts in early April.

Imagine a postie (mail delivery person if you live outside the UK) who delivers a parcel to your home, and invites themselves in for a cuppa. Ten years later they are still there, drinking you out of house and home…

A ridiculous scenario, but if we replace the postie with difficult emotions you have a situation that millions tolerate, simply because they don’t know how else to manage their anger, disappointment, guilt etc.

When you can learn to regulate your emotions yourself, you reduce 50% of your emotional eating issues….or should I say ‘stuck emotional eating’ issues.

Emotions are messengers, and never meant to stick around. AND they are not meant to be solved.

EC 183: Catherine Rains30 Nov 202100:49:19

An interview that makes no mention of food – yes, it’s true! I interview artist Catherine Rains and I wanted to bring you this interview because I extracted so much wisdom from it. Catherine is an amazing human being who has lots of life lessons that will put food out of a job.

At the end of the interview, I discuss two areas relating to compulsive and binge eating that what we talked about

#1 – Non-verbalising feelings

#2 – the difference in language between us. I referred to the victim, where Catherine talks about ‘the child’. How much of the shamed child lives in you, one who is carrying shame that doesn’t belong to her?

Highlights

“Double-pronged non-resistance”: while continually affirming the job she wanted, she was at the same time embracing the job she had.

How to be unintentionally intentional

The five words anyone can use in a negative situation to feel more empowered

Catherine’s epiphany about non resistance

The non linear nature of change.

How she diverted her energy to sidestep jealousy and intended her way to the job of her dreams

Why affirmations don’t work for so many people - because they are doing this thing alongside the affirmation

Her strategy for releasing fear and dread after her cancer diagnosis (I have never heard this from anyone else)

How she developed compassion for her husband in the midst of her divorce but still shielded herself from his manipulation

Her hilarious way of managing old resentments

EC 182: Be The Queen of Your Life (Interview)09 Sep 202100:02:43

Ever feel like you want more power in your life?

 

I don’t mean power as in control, overruling others or even parts of yourself.

 

I mean the ability to navigate problems - not just around food, but relationships, work and health on a bigger scale.

 

A powerful way to view this is to take on The Queen identity.

EC 180: Whole 30 Review11 Aug 202100:29:56

Today I present a completely biased review of Whole 30. Biased? I hear you cry. Isn't that meant to be UNbiased?

Nope. I am completely skewed in favour of recovering binge eaters finding a programme that empowers them, that helps them start to trust themselves again. One that allows them to proceed at a doable pace, and build confidence as they go. This diet in sheep's clothing is not it. Read on (or listen to the podcast episode below) for more information and what the alternative looks like.

What Is Great About Whole 30
It increases awareness about all the fake natural sweeteners out there, such as agave nectar
A lack of focus on measurements, although it seems to be very happy with before and after photos, which are problematic.


Problems With Whole 30
#1 It tries to do too much, too fast.
This is not just a misguided issue that is borne ourt of well-intentioned ambition. It is a cold, hard profit-driven strategy that leverages compulsive eaters desire to escape themselves via a temporary transformation.
It is very, very hard to give up a multiplicity of foods that you are addicted to all at once and make that change sustainable. I think the clue is in the name. No wonder it’s not called Whole Forever.


#2 it Demonises Certain Nutritious Foods That Actually Reduce Compulsive Urges and Cravings
Quinoa. Lentils. Brown rice. Ah yes, how silly of me not to see that they need to placed in the nutritional sin bin with high fructose corn syrup, candy cigarettes and deep fried everything. Really? Really?


#3 Fruit Juice Is Permitted
That’s right, kids. Lentil soup is verboten, but something with more fructose than Coke is OK. Listen to the podcast episode above to hear what Dr Robert Lustig has to say about fruit juice and type two diabetes.

#4 It’s Based on Original Sin
This criticism is something that Whole 30 shares with just about every health fad and diet out there. You are broken the deprivation-fuelled edicts silently imply. You can chase that bad guilt and shame away with this nutritional hairshirt. Escape yourself in only 30 misery filled days! That is one whole month of your life you’re never getting back.
If you’ve been using food to manage your life, trying to leverage guilt over past mistakes is not only unkind to yourself…it’s downright impractical.

#5 It Denies Pleasure
Just because you may have eaten chaotically and got extreme and fake pleasure from food does NOT mean that misery and deprivation is the counterbalance. Pleasure is a core human drive, and if you deny it, your primitive Cavebrain will take over and make sure you get it via more binge eating and other unhelpful knee jerk responses. Bye bye Whole 30.

#6 It Sets Up a Parent-Child Dynamic With Food
Listen to the podcast episode to understand exactly what I mean here.

Alternatives To Whole 30
If nonsense like this programme is not the answer to your food compulsion, then what is? Here are some pointers.
*Curiosity

*Experimentation – which gives you data and is impossible to fail at. In the episode, I give a concrete example of how this plays out.


*Learning to relax enough around food to get real (not fake) pleasure from real food

*Imperfectionism

*Being present with food, instead of using it as an escape route from self

EC 179: Why Are Some Foods Addictive? (Replay)29 Jul 202100:17:11

In this third part of my series on addiction, I tackle the question of why some foods are just so addictive….or as I want to rephrase it, just why is it so easy to feel compulsive about certain foodstuffs?

*Brilliant Idea of The Week*

is Focusmate. Find out more at
https://www.focusmate.com/

 

*Main section*

Just exactly why are some foods are just so addictive is actually 2 questions:

#1 What is it about some particular foods (their ingredients, the way they are processed etc) that can encourage compulsion?

....and

#2 Why do we feel compulsive about some foods in the first place? Why do human beings feel they need to manage problems with food at all?

#2 is a more empowering question, because it turns us from passive victims into responsible beings with the power to change our lives.

"A core part of addiction is, I think, about not being able to bear to be present in your life" ~ Johan Hari

Many people don't believe that they can manage their overwhelm and shame - but they CAN.

EC 178: Fear of Hunger30 Jun 202100:29:30

https://www.theshiftinside.com/tide/

to find out more about dismantling your fear of hunger.

Is this a problem for you? In this podcast episode of The Eating Coach, we dive into this topic - one that I have not heard discussed often. I talk openly about my own anxiety around my appetite, and what happened when I actually decided to experience hunger intentionally. I was very surprised at what I discovered.

 

Part One: Why You Might Have a Fear of Hunger

  • Childhood experiences. Food was used to give adults power over you.
  • Food as a way to Numb yourself out
  • In both scenarios, hunger can act as a very persuasive PR tool being used by your child rebel or the part of you that feels it is essential to numb out
  • I managed overeating a long time ago, but lockdown created a very powerful PR for my compulsion because I was doing too much. I dissolved Some key relationships which created lots of fear. I perceived genuine hunger which was not always genuenuine. about managing my life

 

Part Two: What Happened When I Faced My Fear of Hunger

 I realised that hunger is not a fire, it is a tide

 I realised that hunger is plastic

I discuss the role that ghrelin (the hunger hormone plays) here and the evolutionary reasoning behind the plastic nature of hunger

 

Part Three: Over To You

Ideas for you to get going on your fear of hunger

EC 177: Your Internal Hunger Games23 Jun 202100:28:39

In this episode, I take inspiration from The Hunger Games series, where hunger is used as a tool to control the people.

What if hunger is not what you think it is?

What if you are unconsciously using hunger as a tool to control YOUR life?

In This episode, I talk about

*How fear of hunger was an invisible force I used to oppress myself for years

The concept of restrictors vs permittors – how i used health fads. My fear of hunger and how it manifested

 

*What purpose fear of hunger REALLY served for me

Starring George Mcfly 

 

*How some foods create their own hunger ecosystem

I talk about processed carbs as an example here. 

 

*What happens when humans allow themselves to be hungry

Surprising evidence about how this is not only good for us, but easier than you think. 

Part two of this topic follows in a week’s time.

EC 176: Why Is Bread So Addictive (Replay)?26 May 202100:25:07

Have you ever heard anyone ever say "No, thanks, I don't actually like bread"...? Nope, me neither. Taking a tour of not only the Sugar Rollercoaster, but the Neolithic age, The Roman Empire and The Hunger Games, let's take a peek at the fascinating and surprisingly shocking hold bread has on the human race.

A replay of episode 53.

*Stupid Headline of The Week* 

No Gluten, No Dairy, No Joy

 

*Main section: Why Is Bread So Addictive? *

A short preface on gluten intolerance - the symptoms.

I then have a discussion on if we should change the word 'addictive' in the same way I want us to replace 'addiction' with compulsion'?

There are 2 reasons why bread is addictive.

Reason #1 relates to white bread. Being a source of highly refined carbohydrate, it triggers the production of glucose and consequently insulin into the blood stream. It is this regular emergency response, the call for insulin that can lead to obesity, type II diabetes and a host of other health problems.

Reason #2 is less well known. You probably know that bread contains gluten, but have you ever heard of gluten exorphins? They have an opioid effect on the brain and can cause spontaneous behaviour. Compulsive binge, anyone?

Fascinating factoid of the week: The roman empire used bread to subjugate the peoples it was dominating

EC 175: The TionQues12 May 202100:18:28

https://www.theshiftinside.com/freed/ - Boundary Setting 101 Week starts on 17th May. 3 masterclasses - all completely free.

Possibly the worst titled episode in the history of this podcast. It makes you feel out of sorts just looking at it, doesn’t it?

…and that’s the point.

A TionQues is a question that is all wrong, just like the way I have spellt that very word here.

When you do something that causes you pain, like bingeing, the questions you ask yourself about it are absolutely key for the quality of solutions that you tap into.

The problem is that people often do not know what the RIGHT questions to ask are.

The TionQues you might ask yourself post binge are:

How can I make amends for my terrible greed?

How can I escape myself?

In this episode I give you some better questions to ask.

 

RESOURCES

Boundary Setting 101 Week

https://www.theshiftinside.com/freed/

Q: WHAT IS IT?

A: Three free masterclasses to help you start setting empowering boundaries, even if you feel like you are no good at this skill. You can attend on Zoom or get the videos in your inbox.

 

Q; WHAT’S IN THE MASTERCLASSES?

Masterclass 1 ~ Turn Down The Volume on Your Fear of Setting Boundaries

Discover why you are already better than you think at boundary setting, and learn all about your fear centre. Something akin to a blind and stubborn bouncer living inside your head, your fear centre is actually trying to protect you by resisting setting boundaries.

This is a replay of episode 34 from 2018.

What cover stories do we tell ourselves to legitimise a binge? More importantly, how is that binge a cover story for a deeper problem in your life? These can be uncomfortable, yet incredibly liberating questions. Come with me and let’s find out the answer.

Stupid Idea of The Week
Is the concept of loss when applied to weight. Find out why it is a stupid verb to use in this context, and what to replace it with

Food Lies
Let’s look at some of the untruths we deceive ourselves in order to continue diminishing our lives with compulsion, and how we use food as a really understandable invisible cover story for deeper issues.

Find out:

- The difference between a lazy and safety cover story

- The difference between the lies you tell yourself ABOUT food and how food ITSELF can be a cover story - a deeply self-critical one that masks a far more neutral, compassionate truth. Don’t you want to discover what that is?

- What Cavebrain is

- How you can start to uncover your own cover stories right now

EC171: Shame Starvation Diet24 Mar 202100:28:58

Welcome to The Shame Starvation Diet: The only regime in the world with no set meal plans,  but offers side effects like freedom from deprivation, feeling awesome at last AND reclaiming your life from food AND stupid toxic guilt!

 

STUPID IDEA OF THE WEEK

Diets and wellness programmes that tell you exactly WHAT TO DO. Your Inner Food Rebel will not stand for that AND they are a breeding ground for toxic shame.

 

THE SHAME STARVATION DIET

This is divided into several sections

 

#1 How food can be used to manage shame

-The difference between appropriate and inappropriate shame

-How compulsion expresses instead of proves the ‘truth’ of shame

- guilt vs shame

- The double function of compulsive eating when it comes to toxic shame

 

#2 What Is The Shame Starvation Diet

-Definition

-Discussion of dealing directly with issues so you do not have to use food to deal with them vs shame that cannot be exactly ‘solved’

 

#3 Actions Change Beliefs

If you take actions that disrupt what your toxic shame is telling you is the truth (even though it’s a lie), you start to change a negative sense of self.

  • An example is given with meal planning
  • How your favourite film can help this process

EC169: Your Eating Locus of Control24 Feb 202100:18:00

info {at} theshiftinside.com to contact me about the upcoming March audio intermittent fasting offer.

The locus of control refers to your perception of how much power you or the world outside has to affect events and outcomes.

An internal locus of control means that you feel powerful and an external locus means the opposite.

In today’s episode, I talk about how these two concepts can apply to eating, and how it is Not a black and white distinction. I give some practical ideas for moving from external to internal.
