Episode 68: Hot take: “volume eating” is a cover up for an unhealed relationship with food
Have you ever tried to “trick” your self into losing weight by eating large portions of calorically dilute foods? I’m talking giant salads with more steamed veggies on top and a side of baked potatoes without any oil or toppings. Sound familiar? Yes these foods can be considered healthy, but the whole concept of volume eating and calorie density has some huge flaws in it! In today’s episode I’m discussing how volume eating can be a bandaid for deeper work you need to do around your relationship with food.
I discuss…
• Volume eating in the plant-based world • Volume eating in the dieting world • The downfalls of “calorie density” • How volume eating is a band-aid for healing your relationship with food • My own journey through calorie density and the negative consequences I experienced • The difference between nutrient and stretch receptors in your stomach • Why you need to eat big portions to feel full • How your vagus nerve affects how much you eat • Your brain’s desire for food vs your body’s desire • How to get used to eating a normal portion of food again • How eating more calorically dense food improved my life/health • How to eat calorically dense food without feeling out of control
