Control is Located in Choices_PODSNACKS/ArtoftheDiet 159 Nov 07, 2018

Show notes

I am delighted to add Episode #159 to the Art of the Diet Interviews! It is with a woman who is a WW lifetime and connect member as well as an all around wise woman about herself and her relationship with food. I’ve never talked with someone who uses WW from her workplace and she sheds some interesting thoughts on how to navigate those waters! So, I hope you enjoy it and it helps you to navigate the days ahead. The holidays and the election results. I can’t even pretend to be Zen about this despite this being the Art of the Diet podcast, these past two years have contributed layers of unease and disbelief that I’ve found exhausting. I’ve tried to deal with them with humor but on some days, and this past week was one of them, I just plain ran out of perspective and the only upside was my appetite disappeared. Managing stress used to be food related and now? I’ve committed in the past few months to a daily meditation practice. Sometimes 20-30 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes, multiple times a day. Yes, it’s true what they say: it helps manage stress and anxiety for sure, but it also seems to disengage me from interest in food as a remedy for anything. But, the challenge for my meditation practice will be Wednesday after I am aware of the results. The stakes for me? My next interview in December will either be conducted from a monastery or a Las Vegas 24 hour all you can eat buffet. Anyway, on to lovely wise Ilene. I’d to share your story so please email me at artofthediet@gmail.com! If you know of someone who would be willing to be interviewed, ask them! Have them contact me. Ok. Onward. I hope. www.artofthediet.com/159

Commitment to Time Not Pounds. PODSNACKS|ArtoftheDiet_158 Oct 01, 2018

Show notes

A Commitment of Time Not a Number of Pounds to Lose. Today I interviewed Laurie who is on WW connect and I’ll include her Connect handle in the podcast notes. Laurie has some wisdom for all of us and I think you’ll agree after listening to our interview. I labeled this interview: A Commitment to Time not to Lost Pounds because that is just one pearl of wisdom that jumped out at me. When she began this last WW commitment she said to herself, “I’m going to make a commitment of time, a year, rather than to a # of pounds to lose. This time, it worked for her and I think there is wisdom in having time be the focus! But, I’ll let you decide for yourself. www.artofthediet.com My Etsy store: www.thephotogardener.etsy.com

Show notes

How to regain lost weight? I have one sure fire way: pretend my behavior has no consequences. Simple. What makes it not simple, however, is my physiological connection to carbs and how I manage them. This week's podcast was triggered by an article by Gary Taubes in the NYTimes called, Are You a Carboholic? Why […]

PODSNACKS 005- Self Control Chemistry 101 Jul 25, 2018

Show notes

Today, I’m continuing to explore “self-control” on PODSNACKS episode 005 through my own experience of days when it is in good supply and other days when it seems depleted by 8 AM. I don't get why it is so elusive on some days and rock solid on others. Researching this topic convinced me that […]
