Breaking Free From Food Cravings - Part ...

Do you know if you’re dealing with cravings? If you do, you really know it.

And if you’re not sure, simply ask yourself: 

• Can I remove every food item in my life and be OK?
• Would I be OK if I ate simple, whole natural (not man-made) foods?
• If I had to remove everything else, how would I feel?
• Is there anything that would be hard to give up?

If you’ve had foods in your life that are hard to give up or you’ve wondered why it feels SO challenging to give up certain foods, you’re in the right place. 

You’ll find out that it’s NOT about your willpower.
It's time to stop beating yourself up and getting freedom by learning how you're wired, so you can heal from the inside out.

Our brain and body do NOT know what to do with certain types of foods we eat.
Our emotions are tied in to the needs of our body.

Cravings are always working with our emotions, our mindset, our stress levels, and the way we were raised. It's intertwined. 

Tune in to to this episode learn about:

• The 5 Stages of change for cravings, 
• How to work with your body and not against it, 
• Learn WHY we often use food for our cravings,
• About the emotional reward value of food, 
• The 9 emotions to watch for,
• And some great grounding tools to learn how to dig deeper.

Why do we prefer cake over broccoli?

• “Our brains get two dopamine hits: the first comes when tasting the food, and the second when the food hits our stomach. Depending on the caloric promise, our brains remember which foods are more rewarding (more calories = more reward), which is way our parents never served dessert at the same times as dinner.” (Judson Brewer, Unwinding anxiety, 2021)
