  • Wellness Coaching For Obesity, Emotional Eating, Food Addictions, And Overeating - In recent years, it has become very evident that obesity is a battle for many people. While we can document infinite research supporting scientific reasons for emotional eating, food addictions, and overeating, for those of us who look at science from a holistic perspective we can not deny the spiritual reasons for obesity. From a holistic health and wellness coaching perspective, one must deal with the spiritual aspects of obesity as well as the physical. Obesity begins with an uncontrollable hunger.
  • Are You Eating Your Emotions? - When you eat when you aren't hungry, have you ever stopped to question who it is you're feeding? Many of us feed ourselves based on an emotional need, even when the emotions are negative or positive. Many of us eat when we are sad, bored, angry, or even joyous and happy. When we are emotionally eating, it is usually something quick, easy, and pre-made, pre-packed or requires very little preparation other than opening a box or wrapper. Any food choice that is especially sugary, salty, or crunchy are the favorite fixes.
  • Conquer Emotional Overeating - Snow White And Other Fairy Tales - So how emotional are you over food? Some people regard food just as a source of fuel. They skip meals because they literally forget to eat and it will only be that gnawing hunger in their stomach that drives them to food. Lucky them, you might think. Actually, that's not that case.
  • Do You Have A Food Addiction? - Our brains are wired to love sweets. Moments after you indulge in sweet treats, your brain's pleasure center releases opiate-like substances. The same brain chemicals that create narcotic highs also keep you coming back to sugary treats. Beyond the physiological addictive qualities, sweets are highly associated with comfort and pleasure. For most of us, the problems start in childhood, when we are rewarded with sweets for good behavior, setting up a lifetime association between sugary treats, reward and soothing. Underlying feelings often drive food cravings as well.

  • Food Addiction: Getting Off Sugar - If you are worried about food addiction, then you are probably concerned about your sugar intake. I do NOT mean that you should never have your favorite treats again. But sugar is definitely an addictive substance. The more you eat, the more you want.
  • Understanding Obesity And Its Effects On The Body - Obesity is a medical condition that is characterized by a person having too much body fat than normally needed to generate energy for everyday activities. It has been linked to many diseases and complications for a person.
  • Could You Be A Compulsive Overeater? - Compulsive overeaters are individuals who suffer from an obsession with food and a compulsion to eat despite the resulting negative effects on their physical and emotional health and well being. They eat to satisfy an emotional hunger, whether this hunger is for love, for comfort or for a sense of control over something in their life. Compulsive overeaters may be a few pounds overweight, or over a hundred pounds overweight. The defining factor is not how much they weigh, but the underlying reasons that they eat. Compulsive overeating is one of three major eating disorders, the other two being anorexia and bulimia. Compulsive overeaters are addicted to food in the same way that alcoholics are addicted to alcohol. It is their substance of choice.
  • Controlling Your Taste To Lose Weight - Mentioned below are some of the tips that will help your stomach feel full for a longer duration and avoid curb cravings. It is worth giving the following tips a try as they will eventually help you in reducing weight. Never prevent yourself from eating in the morning just because you want to have it all in the evening. Regardless of how much ever "be in command of" position you believe you are in the day, you're prone to be excessively hungry by late afternoon. This will ultimately result in overeating without doubt. And in particular, don't miss out any meals to preserve calories for another. This rebounds fatally most of the time. Never try to skip meals just because you want to save calories or burn them off.
  • Why Is It So Hard To Break A Bad Habit? - Habitual activity is yet another item on the long list of constants among all people. This, of course, includes good habits as well as bad habits – such as smoking, drinking, overeating, nail biting, procrastination. It’s often difficult to understand why we create habits for activities that are bad for us either physically, emotionally, or socially, especially when we consider the consequences, but somehow we do. Luckily, many hours of research have been put into finding out the basic causes of bad habits.
  • Let Them (ME) Eat Cake - Tonight was one of those nights. Our friend Michael, who lives in Denmark, came over for a visit. We sat and talked for two hours, and then we brought out the cake. It wasn't a light sponge cake with confectioners sugar sprinkled on it.
  • Eating in Peace During the Holidays - As the holidays rush upon us, I am hearing from clients their fears about what to do at parties. They fear eating too much, losing control, getting too fat. They are afraid of becoming a manic eating machine-one that starts to eat, and cannot stop. One of the reasons I work so hard with clients on their relationships with food is because when you are at peace with food, you realize you cannot lose control. Of course, as with all relationships, you have your ups and downs, and holiday time may indeed be one of those "down" times.
  • Your Psychological Food Relationship and Your Health - Your physical food relationship is based on your eating habits and food preference, while your psychological food relationship is related to how you think about food and its effect on your weight and body image. Your psychological food relationship begins to dominate when you succumb to eating to satisfy your appetite instead of your hunger, which is a physical need to supply your body with nutrients. Your appetite, not your hunger, is in control when you decide to eat a to-die-for dessert even though you have just finished eating a hearty meal. Indulging your appetite to satisfy your eating pleasure rather than your physical hunger is an unhealthy psychological food relationship.
  • Don't Skip Breakfast Because It's Very Important. - Are you often too busy for breakfast?. Many of us would trade breakfast for a few extra minutes of sleep, or we skip breakfast in the rush to get to work or send the kids to school. Or we simply grab a cup of coffee and a sandwich, and call it a meal. But do you realize that you my be missing more than just breakfast when you do that. Many studies have concluded the importance of breakfast, and health experts unanimously agree that breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day, and a good nutritious breakfast is the foundation of long, healthy and vibrant life. Eating breakfast is the secret to healthy living.
  • Using Hypnotherapy For Weight Loss. - The majority of people that live in the UK on this very day are on some type of diet for weight loss. Almost everyone at one time or another has attempted to diet. The problem is that most diets do not work long term which is so discouraging. When diets do work, it usually not because of the change in diet as much as it is the entire thought process about food. The thought process can be reversed from living to eat, to eating to live. Can you see the difference there? It also needs to come with respect for ones self about their thoughts on food and what they put into their bodies. Somewhere in the heart and soul of every overweight person is a psychological desire to overeat.
  • Difference Between Fat Diets and Diet Pills - What is the difference between diet pills and fad diets? They often get lumped together as the same thing; weight loss that doesn't work. That is necessarily the truth.
  • Are Habits Making You Fat? - For most people who are overweight, overeating is the result of habits formed over a lifetime. But the good news is, if you can take aim at those habits and see them for what they are the overeating and ensuing weight gain will end. Humans are creatures of habit.
  • Weighing the Scales of Justice - Many years ago, I would get on the scale 2, maybe three times each day. Strangely, I thought I could gain or lose weight at different times during a single 24 hour period. Finally, I stopped that crazy behavior. But I certainly remember when I got on the scales and weighed myself once/day- if I had gained weight, I would be depressed, and I decided to eat. If I had lost weight, I would be happy, and I also decided to eat. So it wasn't exactly a win/win (or lose/lose, as the case may be) situation.
  • Who's Holding a Gun to Your Head? - A few years ago, I consulted for several assisted living facilities. My job involved talking to people who had nutrition problems (diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure) and to give a brief talk to the residents. The talks were always fun, because the topics were interesting (to me anyway). They included how taste changed with age, how to be active while sitting in your chair, ways to add fruits and vegetables to your daily diet. Then there would be a question and answer session-again, always fun, because I got to think standing on my feet.
  • Eat Food Because You Like It, Not Because You Should - Last weekend I went to the movies with my son. Of course, we weren't seeing the same movie (my tastes don't quite mesh with my 16 old), but we did drive over together. As I was sitting in my seat, waiting for the previews, I overheard a conversation a few seats down from me. It went a something like this: "I sit down with my bag of dark chocolate pieces every night, and I eat until I cannot have another bite. I know they are good for me and I'm supposed to eat them, but I don't even like dark chocolate!" This was sad to me on so many levels, perhaps the saddest being that she didn't like dark chocolate! But let's look at what this woman was saying, and why it is sad-and very unhealthy.
  • 15 Foods That Make You Fat - There is no doubt that overeating can lead to putting fat on your body, but there are some foods that are more likely to put those pounds on you than others. These foods are either high in calories, total fat, carbohydrates, sugar or sodium. Below are 15 of the most fattening foods. Mashed Potatoes - When made with cream and butter, one half-cup serving is about 200 calories. Candy - This is high in sugar and bad fats.
  • Around the Holidays, Be Real with Your Goals - Last week I had two clients come in, at different times, to discuss their diets, their weight, and how to handle the holidays. Neither one had lost weight, but what was more important (during these holiday times), neither had gained weight either. What struck me was that their attitudes were totally different, and I could see it in the way they behaved in my office. Let me first tell you that in my practice, I like to talk for a while with my clients before I weigh them. It helps me get a sense of how they are doing, what's going on in their lives that may affect their weight plans. It also helps me when it comes time to set goals for our next visit. He had decided he was "not going to follow his meal plan" for three weeks.
  • Did You Shoot Someone? Or Are You - The next time I hear someone say "I was bad" in reference to their diet, I may have to shoot them. I meet people all the time -- wonderful people. People who are successful in business, sports, academics, you name it. I bet I could live comfortably off of the taxes some of these people pay!! Do they consider themselves successful? Are they happy with their lives?
  • How Long Should I Exercise? - Part of my job is to help people start and stay active. The problem is many don't know how to start. They want to know what is the "best type" of exercise, they want to know the "best time of day" to exercise, and they want me to tell them the what and when. The thing is, I don’t think there is a best type or time to exercise. It is not as simple as a "one exercise fits all".
  • You Deserve It: NOW - Today I was talking to a woman about weight loss, congratulating her on the fact that she did not gain any weight since her last visit, especially since she had been on vacation.
  • Conquer Emotional Eating - Start with Spring Cleaning! - Emotional eating can sabotage any diet or cause people to pile the pounds back on when they've reached their target weight. Does that donut have your name written on it? Is that last chocolate in the box the one that tastes the best? (And you'd know that because you've eaten all the others). Are you driven to eat when you are happy or sad or bored or angry? Do you feel a need to eat because you "deserve it"; you've had a tough day?
  • Binge Eating Or Just Greed? - Most people have heard of anorexia nervosa and recognize the damage it can cause to a sufferer's life. The fact that in extreme cases it can be fatal leads most people to accept that it is in fact a real illness and that sufferers need and deserve proper medical treatment. Unfortunately, the same can't always be said of other less well known eating disorders.
  • Saving Energy For Ourselves - Everyone knows we are experiencing an energy crisis. You'd have to have your head in the sand to miss all the news about what we need to do to save our resources for our children, and our grandchildren. I absolutely agree that we need to conserve for the sake of our planet. However, I want to talk about a more personal kind of energy crisis, for a different (but no less pressing) cause.
  • Cold Memories of Hot Pants - Have you ever tried on a shirt, or a pair of pants, that were supposedly in your size, but it just didn't fit? The sleeves were too small, the pants were too tight. But the size said it should fit, right? So if the size is correct, then the message must be that it's your body that's not the right size. Well, that just isn't the truth, and you know, it took me a while to realize that. Our bodies are not made to fit into all the different styles that are out there-and we have to understand that! Unfortunately, all the models and advertising leads us to believe that clothes are truly a "one size fits all"-and if the clothes don't fit; there must be a problem with our bodies.
  • From Healthy to Fatty in a Month: what to do to not gain weight over the Holidays - It is common knowledge that many Americans overeat during the Holiday season and gain 10 pounds on average between Thanksgiving and Christmas. When the Holiday season comes, all resolutions to eat healthy go out the window. We do not care; we overeat and stuff ourselves because we have a good excuse: it is the Holidays! We almost take it for granted and accept it that we will gain weight over the Holidays. Yet, we promise ourselves that we will be good starting January 1st.
  • Yoga, It Does a Body Good - Congratulations! You are starting off the New Year by increasing your activity! You are walking, or jogging, or you joined a class at the local Y. Whatever it is, you have taken the first step to improving your fitness. You now want to learn about becoming more flexible. Somewhere you read that "total fitness" involves exercise (which you're now doing), along with strength and flexibility. Good luck. I’m almost 53 years old, and I am not sure I’ll ever get all three parts down. But I am a walker and my goal is to walk 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes. Many times I take several short walks, but the total is 45 minutes, so most times I meet my goal.
  • Weight Loss Tips ~ How Losing Weight Is A Bit Like Visiting An Ancient Palace - When were in Spain we decided to visit the Alhambra. This sounds as if it ought to be a bingo hall in Whitley Bay (US readers - for Whitley Bay think Atlantic City only smaller and colder). The Alhambra is, of course, an ancient palace originally built by the Arabs in Spain and then occupied by Ferdinand and Isabella the same year that they sent Cristoforo Colombo on his great overseas trip. We asked Younger Son if he wanted to come. He declined. Was it the thought of the 8-hour bus ride? Spending a day with his parents? No, this is what he said about visiting places: "You go into the first room, it's old and interesting. You look at it for a bit.
  • Imagine Eating "Forbidden" Foods - How would you feel it you could eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Think about it for a few moments. Yes, you probably would gain weight the first week or two, because you were finally allowing yourself all the treats you have forbidden yourself for so many years.
  • "The dog ate my homework" won't help you lose weight - One of my children (who shall be nameless to protect the guilty) has tried everything to get out of handing in homework. Actually, they've all gone through that phase, so much for my brilliant parenting. And as a lecturer I know that I've heard all the excuses before! Over the past few weeks I have heard all sorts of excuses from my clients: I was celebrating and it had to be chocolate. It snowed and I couldn't exercise (some allowance here - the weather has been weird.
  • Excessive Weight Problem - Deep Insight - Excessive weight problem, or obesity in its progressive form, has taken hold of many lives. Very few people can honestly say that no one in their family is overweight. What makes this disease so widespread? Be it a brother, a sister, an uncle, aunt, cousin, nephew, niece, grandparent, parent, son, daughter, yourself, etc., someone in almost every family is simply fat; and not just fat, obese. It didn’t happen overnight, either.
  • Compulsive Eaters - Did Cinderella Have A Good Press Officer? - Cinderella was never one of my favourite fairy tales! Mainly because I have large feet and would never have fitted into that glass slipper. But also because I feel that if she were treated that badly by her sisters she should have left home and done something a bit more enterprising than sit in the cinders. She was obviously a girl who, once she got into the posh frock, simpered a lot, played on her looks and got the man.
  • A Binge Eating Disorder Is Treatable - If you overeat on a regular basis in order to cope with stress or negative feelings then it is quite possible that you suffer from a binge eating disorder. In addition, the over eater feels even worse after they have finished their binge. An important point to note is that this condition is treatable. Therefore, please consult a physician as soon as possible if you suffer from this condition.
  • The Good, The Bad, And The Truth -- About Eating - It's disconcerting that so many people mentally classify food as good or bad. "Good carbs" and "bad carbs," "good fat" versus "bad fat." Why does this irk me? Apparently, when you eat a "good carb," that makes you a good person, and when you eat a "bad carb," you become bad. Why is the individual who eats whole wheat bread better than the one who eats white bread?
  • Bad Habits Can Affect Your Overall Health - Bad habits can often have adverse effects on your health. They can make you feel unwell and cause long-term affects on your physical condition. If you want to live a long and healthy life, there may be some bad habits you need to overcome. Many of the bad habits that make you feel poorly are related to diet and nutrition. A growing number of people in the US are becoming obese. This is mainly due to the fact that they have developed the bad habit of overeating, as well as eating to much "junk" food. This can lead to numerous health problems and diseases.
  • Figuring out What's Really Eating Me - There's this doctor I have to visit tomorrow. No major issues, just to discuss some of the events that are going on in this, umm, maturing body. But I know the routine when you first go into the room, and for some reason, I'm not looking forward to it. You know what they do-check your blood pressure and, yes, your weight. For some reason, I am just not looking forward to being weighed, and I don't even know why I am thinking about it! I feel so silly, because I talk to women (and some men) all the time about how a single number is not that important. I want to work with people to enable them to realize weight is just a small part of who they are. We put too much importance on this single number, and make such drastic judgments about ourselves based on it.
  • Can Sleeping Pills Cause Weight/inch Gain? The Answer Is Shocking! - You are a health-conscious guy. It is easy to tell that by your ripped physique and obvious concern for exercise and cardiovascular health. What others can’t see is your need to take sleeping pills to help you sleep. You are so wired up constantly from work, sports, exercise and just life in general that it’s hard for you to sleep at night.
  • Your New Year's Resolution? Stop Dieting - All right. The parties are over and the dishes are put away. The leftovers are gone. It is January 2 and you are just getting up (unless it was YOUR turn to walk the dog…sorry). What is the first thought that comes into your head? Your New Year's resolution, of course. And I bet it goes like this: "today I start the (fill in the blank) diet, and THIS time it is going to work!" Before you get started, may I make a rather unusual request?
  • Tips to Fight Obesity Using Proper Portion Sizes - Get a handle on portion size to maintain healthy weight Americans are overweight. Research shows than more than sixty percent of Americans weigh more than they should. The U.S. Surgeon General has even called obesity a national epidemic. Fueled by a number of factors, obesity’s main contributor is portion size. It’s not hard to see that portion sizes are growing in this country. “Extra large,” “supersize,” and “value meals” are prominently marked on menus aimed to save you and your family money, but not inches on your waistlines.

  • 1,950 Things You Should Stop Eating So You Can Lose Weight - 3,900 - According to an article by Michael Pollan that was published in the New York Times, this is the amount of food calories produced every day for each American citizen.Think about this number for a minute. 3,900 calories is easily a thousand more calories than almost any of us will ever need in a day- but they are being produced so someone has to eat them. This is what I like to call the North American paradox. Food companies and food producers need us to consume more and more calories to keep their profits coming, yet we want to consume less and less calories to maintain our health and weight.
