Have you ever struggled with emotional eating or food cravings from stress?
Many of us have. They can be two of the biggest hurdles in any weight loss journey.
Part of the problem is people lack practical strategies for dealing with these obstacles. I wanted to bring Dr. Allan Bacon onto the podcast to help remedy that.
In case you’re not familiar with him, Allan is a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, a certified USA powerlifting, physique, and bodybuilding coach, and a certified nutritionist. He has also been formulating supplements professionally for over a decade.
Specializing in personalized fitness and nutrition programming, Allan’s coaching experience extends from the average Joe to Arnold Classic competitors and American record-holding weightlifters. So, he knows how to work with people of all types and get results.
In our conversation, Allan and I discuss . . .
- The concept of emotional eating and how it differs from physical hunger
- Practical tools and tips for controlling cravings and managing emotional eating
- How to handle common emotional eating triggers and dealing with unsupportive friends or family
- Common life stressors that lead to emotional eating and positive ways to manage stress effectively
- The impact of emotional eating and stress on weight loss journeys and the importance of self-empathy and understanding
- And more . . .
So, if you're looking for effective ways to manage emotional eating and beat cravings and stress-related barriers to your weight loss goals, don't miss this conversation with Dr. Allan Bacon!
