#43: Addictive Foods & How They Could Be Holding Back Your Body Goals - Part 1

Sure, losing weight and achieving the best body you deserve has a lot to do with your emotional and logical commitment to the goal and process, through sheer determination, willpower and grit. 

That said, too often in the fitness and food industry, the idea of food addiction is dismissed as a lazy excuse and lack of willpower. From personal experience, I disagree. Food Addiction is a real thing, and needs to be addressed as part of a plan to losing and managing bodyweight.

 

This discussion is broken into 2 Episodes (#43 & #44) where we look to cover off the reality of food addiction, how it happens and most importantly what to do about it. 

 

As we get started, for the first 10mins we have a food confessional by Bryn, who has a very real addiction with Cheese and Hummus. Lose still, he likes to dip Cheddar Cheese sticks in Hummus… 🤢
