Getting Over Our Emotional Obsession With Food with Adrienne Ngai!

What We Can Do to Have a Better Relationship with Food

Adrienne Ngai and Getting Over Emotional Eating

 

Adrienne Ngai Notable Quotes

“A lot of us lose the signals for hunger and satiety that was built into us when we’re born. As we grow older, we lose those signals because we’re told to eat more than we should, like finishing our plates or finishing the super-sized meals at restaurants. We lose that connection with our body—these physiological aspects we need to keep in mind.”
– Adrienne Ngai

 

Episode Summary

When we grow up living a certain lifestyle, it’s understandable that any shift we do that deviates from what we grew up with would be difficult. It’s difficult, but not at all impossible. And sometimes those shifts are necessary, especially if they’re shifts toward better health.

In this episode of This Podcast Burns Fat, we’re talking to registered dietitian Adrienne Ngai to shed some light on emotional eating and overcoming the obstacles to coming away from it, and learning to be at peace with not just food but also ourselves.
