72 – Fiber, listener successes, and junk food school
This show we covered some listener emails. The first dealt with the topic of fiber; do we need it and can we get enough in our diet. Adequate amounts of insoluble and soluble fiber can be found vegetables (such as broccoli and cauliflower), fruits (such as berries), and nuts. Another listener related vast improvements in many aspects of her health and a renewed zest for staying fit (having stepped off the calorie-counting and exercise deadmill). The last email noted the junk food ills of the public school system; a lack of nutrients and an overabundance of carbs don’t help kids’ physical and mental conditions. Thanks for writing, everyone! Stay tuned for an upcoming helpful addition to our hmfb package as well as another interview for the next show.

71 – Getting Skinny with guest Diana Spechler, part 2
(duration 23:53)
This is part two of our two-part interview with author Diana Spechler, author of Skinny, her latest novel. We pick up our discussion regarding body image issues, particularly being dissociated from certain feelings and disconnected from the process of binging. Increasing your awareness is a necessary but not sufficient condition for moderating your eating. Having nutritional knowledge is vital, as is motivation to treat your body as your temple. We also discuss some letters “To fat people” in the book. Becoming comfortable with being overweight yet being advised to exercise more and eat the same foods that made you overweight (just smaller portions) indeed reflect our confusing food culture. Secreting less insulin by eating fewer grams of carbs daily enables your fat stores to be metabolized. Hunger and desire oftentimes pose motivation challenges, in which issues of control and self-control arise.

70 – Getting Skinny with guest Diana Spechler, part 1
(duration 27:57)
This is part one of our two-part interview with author Diana Spechler, author of Skinny, her latest novel. We begin by discussing the nature of body image issues. As we noted a couple shows ago, various psychological patterns can be found on bodyconfession.com, one of Diana’s sites. Mental inertia can be self-sabotaging, of course, so self-acceptance (owning various disowned parts of yourself) is key to understanding where you are and getting to where you want to be. Intergenerational transfer of eating patterns from parents (and extended family) to children is common, and one solution is to stock your shelves with healthy choices. “Fat camps” seem to be quick fixes and typically offer programs that are based on calorie-counting rather than a healthy mental perspective on foods and taking into account the insulin factor in weight gain/loss. Articulating and understanding our emotions is another key to developing a healthy self-concept and beneficial eating habits.
