There is no food you have to eat, they're just...awesome, it's great, because you're right. What a veggie episode or maybe a salad episode, something like that?
Imagine looking forward to your favorite treat all week, only to find it doesn't quite hit the spot. That's the kind of food disappointment Erin Green and Michael Gray tackle in this episode of 'Middleish'. Our brains are wired to find pleasure in eating, but what happens when our expectations go haywire? Erin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Michael dive into why certain foods can feel irresistible and yet let us down when we finally indulge.
They explore the mental gymnastics we perform when we label foods as 'off-limits', creating a cycle of craving and disappointment. But it doesn't have to be this way. Erin and Michael share practical tips on how to retrain your brain to enjoy food for its taste and experience rather than its forbidden allure. They discuss the joys of moderation, like savoring a treat in the right moment rather than gorging out of guilt.
You'll also hear about their thoughts on reduced sugar, fat, and sodium products, and whether sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit extract are worth the hype. With a sprinkle of humor and a lot of empathy, this episode aims to help you find a balanced relationship with food that works for you. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that just might change how you view your next meal.
