EC 223: Chaotic Foods with Louise Digby

HARRIET MORRIS, EATING PSYCHOLOGY COACH
About this episode

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
