Whether we admit it or not, even when we're trying to get serious with our diet, there are times when we fall into the trap of foods that are just so mouthwatering for us to handle.On the other hand, we might also be getting so busy these days, trying to make a living in the midst of this pandemic, that we're now starting to get used to skipping meals.We want to lose weight. We want weight gain. However, our practices sometimes take us far from success.In this episode, Dr. Adrienne enumerates the four most common dietary pitfalls she's been seeing in her clinical practice as she shares ways and tips on how to get over each one.What you will learn from this episode:Discover what are the four most common pitfalls people usually go through when trying to change their diet;Understand why watching your protein intake is a must; andFind out how you can avoid falling for the pitfalls through detailed tips based on evidence and science.Key Takeaways:“If skipping meals works, you would think that, “Well, I'm only eating one meal a day. And so, isn't that ‘saving calories'?” The answer is absolutely no. Because in that one meal, you can totally eat past your hunger and accumulate way more calories than you otherwise would if you had eaten throughout the day.” – Adrienne Youdim“Good fats are good, but they are fats. Be wary of fake healthy food and also be mindful of the healthy food. Portion size matters.” – Adrienne Youdim“Remember, protein is your most satiating or most filling macronutrient. So, if you're going to compare protein, carbohydrates, and fats, protein is going to be the nutrient that is most filling and it is the nutrient that's going to give you the most staying power.” – Adrienne YoudimYou should feel good about what you eat! ✓ Dehl Nutrition offers clean nutrition with functional ingredients that support better health. ✓ Formulated with the perfect combination of protein and carbohydrates for optimal nutrition. ✓ With an added boost of energy!

These past two years of pandemic caused by COVID 19 have indeed taken its toll on us. Wherever you go, wherever you look, people are battling to survive this challenge consisting of continuously evolving variants.Trying to find joy and live life in contentment is something that has become so hard. Nevertheless, it is a vital step towards survival that we remind ourselves of our capability to be resilient – to win against life's hurdles that have been trying to stop us on our way to our betterment.Join us today as we share our last episode for this year!In this episode, Dr. Adrienne talks about the sentiments around the occurrence of toxic positivity culture nowadays as she shares insights in relation to control and mastery to remind us that we have the power of being resilient.What you will learn from this episode:This pandemic and how it has led everyone to be at our most meh state;Why environmental mastery is way better than the concept of having control over things in life; andUnderstand that we always have a choice in whatever it is that we do in life.Key Takeaways:“There's so much that we cannot control; so much that is out of our control. But the truth is this is nothing new. It has always been this way, of course, whether we're willing to admit it or not, or willing to see it or not, life really is not in our control. We try to control our lives with planning and hard work and grit and consistency, but despite our best efforts, life happens, and this is stressful.” – Adrienne Youdim“Control gives us the notion that we can minimize uncertainty, but of course, it is an illusion. Most of what we value – our health, our relationships, financial security, disease, natural disasters, economic downturn, world events, global pandemics – is subject to uncertainty. Even the most resourceful people among us deal with adversity and uncertainty.” – Adrienne Youdim“Stay resilient this holiday season. Find joy where it exists and allow yourself space where it is not. Be kind to yourself and be kind to those around you, because certainly, this is a collective experience – a global experience – and we can all use and appreciate each other's kindness.” – Adrienne YoudimCheck out the new 30-Day Journaling Mini-Course .

Food is in a direct relationship with the traditions and connections we have in our lives, especially during this time of the year – the successive holidays! It is with no doubt that there is pleasure in satisfying real hunger; however, there are cases that some people fall into the mouth-watering temptation possessed by the sweets, meat, and everything else on the table that they tend to just eat and eat and eat, while others tend to miss the enjoyment of the occasion because they overly think about ‘healthy eating'.How do we balance the sanctity of the occasion with the sanctity of our bodies and of our own well-being? How do we reconcile with that and finally live the life of our dreams?Join us as we talk about food and tradition in today's episode of Health Bite!What you will learn from this episode:Why it is important to use hunger as a guide for us to know when to start eating and when to stopThe wonders of having a gratitude practice before and after a meal Studies connecting eating habits and each one's effect on usDiscover how to reconcile within yourself in relation to the importance of both tradition and well-beingKey Takeaways:“Prayer – whether it's just gratitude or religious practice – evokes a sense of mindfulness, presence, savoring, and therefore, enjoyment for our meal.” – Adrienne Youdim“Our traditions are really in line with health practices.

I'm back for another installment of my Hungry for More series, and this week I'm talking about a chapter that resonates with most people: Hunger for Perfection. So many of us strive for perfection, but we fail to realize that by its very nature, perfection is unattainable, and trying to achieve it can lead to self-criticism and negative self-talk. In this episode, I discuss how to get past perfectionism and seek and embrace our own humanity. Highlights:How seeking perfection ultimately undermines your self-worth and interferes with your success.Why perfectionism is defeating, demoralizing, and impediment to personal growth.How perfectionism can often lead to a fear of failure, and in turn, a failure to even start.The antidote to perfectionism, and how it can lead to greater overall well-being.A writing practice to help embrace our imperfections and our own humanity.If you haven't listened to previous episodes in my Hungry for More series, go back and check them out to deepen your understanding of hunger:Episode 1: The Anatomy of Hunger: How Your Body Signals HungerEpisode 2: The Science Behind Emotional EatingEpisode 3: Why Mindset MattersEpisode 4: Self-Compassion: The Importance of Cultivating Kindness and Care Toward YourselfEpisode 5: The Five Pillars of Nourishment and Nutrition (Part One)Episode 6: The Five Pillars of Nourishment and Nutrition (Part Two)Episode 7: 10 Practical Tips for Weight LossEpisode 8: Can Exercise and Weight Loss Get a Divorce: Why Movement is a Spiritual ExperienceEpisode 9: Journaling: A Gateway to Awareness, Self-Healing, and Transformative ChangeMy new book Hungry for More: Stories and Science to Inspire Weight Loss From The Inside Out is now available!
