Food For Thought

Chances are you’ve tried dieting at some point in your life and might have lost some weight but for how long? It’s a vicious cycle I see happen time and time again in my Rhitrition clinic. The approach to dieting is all too often extreme and restrictive, with the promise of quick results. This week’s Food For Thought sees registered dietitian and author Ilana Muhlstein and I explore the foods we can all eat which could encourage sustainable weight loss and support our health for the long term. For more information, visit Rhitrition.com and Instagram.com/Rhitrition.

This week’s Food For Thought sees Dr Anjali Amin and I deep dive into what hormones really are and whether you really can harness your hormones. For more information, visit Rhitrition.com and Instagram.com/Rhitrition.

Food and cooking over the years has become so much more exciting and interest has exploded in this area. The last year has perhaps seen us cooking at home more than ever. There can become a time though when we reach a limit and inspiration comes to a standstill, but there is always so much to love about food and the endless creativity that comes with it. This week’s Food For Thought sees two-star Michelin chef Michel Roux Jr and I explore what it takes to reach the top in your profession, his career thus far and what is still to come. For more information, visit Rhitrition.com and Instagram.com/Rhitrition.

Relationships with food have become complex and in some cases obsessive. In times of uncertainty, it’s little wonder a surge in disordered eating has damaged relationships with food. Thankfully, we all have the power to rebuild and change our approach and shun diets for good. This week’s Food For Thought sees one of our own Registered Nutritionists at Rhitrition Sophie Bertrand! We’re exploring the principles behind anti-dieting approaches to help you fall back in love with eating. For more information, visit Rhitrition.com and Instagram.com/Rhitrition. Hosted on Acast.

We’ve all been there, quickly popping to the shops to pick up a few essentials and come out laden with food products, many of which we didn’t actually need. You’d think we’d learn after this has happened a couple of times, especially with not wanting food to go to waste and to help reduce our spending. The thing is supermarkets have cleverly devised ways to encourage us to buy more than necessary time and time again. This week’s Food For Thought sees TV presenter and author Chris Bavin and I examine the psychology that goes into our shopping and suggest how we can all become better buyers.
