#163 Hyperpalatable Foods - How to Trust...

Elena Kunicki
About this episode

🔊“We live in an environment that promotes obesity”

 

🥸“The food industry intentionally creates these foods so that you can’t stop eating them”

 

🍩“These foods are addicting…I just don’t have enough willpower to stop binging on them!”

 

Anyone with a pulse in our society has heard these things over and over again.

 

The solutions we’ve been offered up are to cut out these high-sugar, high-fat foods, be VERY careful around them and only allow ourselves on special occasions.

 

But this doesn’t seem to be working very well.

 

And for my clients who are Type-A, perfectionistic women who have achieved high levels of “health and fitness”...

 

…but are behind the scenes feeling obsessed and/or out of control around food…

 

…this messaging around processed foods like chips, sweets, and ice cream is only making their issues worse.

 

In this episode I break down:

➡️How hyperpalatable foods impact our hunger cues and weight

➡️How our culture influences our relationship with these foods

➡️How to build a healthy relationship with these foods so you don’t overeat them but also don’t restrict them to the point of making yourself want them more
