check mark button Stress can drive many of us to engage in disordered eating, whether emotional eating, overeating, binge eating, or other related patterns. 
 
check mark button “Stress eating” is a natural phenomenon rooted in both our psychology and biology. Bringing compassion and self-understanding to ourselves is the first step in changing this unwanted pattern.
 
check mark button There are biological reasons why we feel good after eating. Turning to food in times of stress isn’t inherently “wrong” or “bad.” 
 
check mark button The first step to transforming emotional eating is through awareness. Because only once you become aware of something, can you change it.
 
check mark button Forgiving oneself for one’s perceived failures and shortcomings is another key towards choosing life and initiating effective weight loss.
 
Marc David’s twin areas of expertise in nutrition and psychology has helped numerous people overcome challenges with food and emotional eating. Watch this episode of the Psychology of Eating podcasts to hear Deborah’s story!

In Session With Marc David: A 42-Year Old Mother Works with Her Long Term Eating Disorder 0

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
A Mother Works with Her Long Term Eating Disorder
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating podcast, Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, talks to Rachelle, who has been dealing with bulimia for nearly 30 years. Rachelle began binging and purging as an adolescent going through some difficult life changes. Despite her considerable efforts to overcome her disordered eating, she’s still struggling with it all these years later. This is compounded by the fact that she’s hidden her disorder from her 4 children, and has shared only minimal details with her husband. Now, she seeks Marc’s counsel to help her find a path towards greater self-love and a more peaceful relationship with food.
 
Key Insights:
  • Challenges with food often start in one's adolescence and can continue even decades later. However, the duration of an eating disorder shouldn’t be equated with one’s ability to overcome it. Growth and healing are possible at every age.
  • An eating disorder can manifest as a coping mechanism to deal with a traumatic event or stressful situation. Working with the trauma event(s) is a key first place to begin on the path to healing.
  • When an eating disorder developed as a childhood coping mechanism to stress or trauma, later in life we can find this part of ourselves is still stuck in childhood. 
  • A woman's relationship with her mother – or her daughter – can often determine her relationship with food. Therefore, doing inner work - whether with a psychotherapist or other skilled practitioner - can be very helpful in understanding the familial dynamics of one’s eating patterns.
  • Stepping out of shame and guilt, and cultivating honesty with oneself (and ultimately with others) is vital as we walk a more intentional path around food and body.
With his dual training in clinical nutrition and psychology, Marc David has spent the last 40 years helping people around the world heal their relationship with food. As the Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, he reaches millions each year through his books, speaking engagements, celebrated podcast series, and his internationally-acclaimed Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
What’s the Perfect Nutritional Approach?
 
Does the perfect diet even exist? And if so, how do I find it? The answers may surprise you. Don’t miss out on this insightful look into why there are so many different approaches to healthy eating, and how to determine what is right for you! Listen now!
 
Highlights:
  • People want to find the perfect nutritional approach and because there are so many people looking for the one true way to eat, there are lots of experts out there promoting their version of an ideal diet. 
  • For every scientific study that says meat is bad, there's a study showing you why it's good. Same for wine. Same for salt. Same for a vegetarian diet, a vegan diet, a paleo diet, a keto diet, a raw food diet... The list goes on and no wonder people are confused. 
  • There are as many accurate, useful, and perfect nutritional approaches as there are people on the planet. 
  • As a consumer of nutritional information, you simply need to relax and get comfortable with the fact that the field can be widely chaotic and dispersed. 
  • We're on a nutritional journey, whether we like it or not. If you're a human being alive on planet earth, then you are an eater and you need to learn how to best make that work for you. So can you enjoy that part of your journey?

Getting Out of the Trap of Endless Dieting with Marc David 0
May 6, 2021
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well?
 
Getting Out of The Trap of Endless Dieting
 
Did you know that an estimated 45 million Americans go on a diet every year? Many of these same people are actually chronic dieters - meaning they’ve been on a diet for many years. And what’s even more shocking is that so many dieters never achieve lasting success for themselves; they either never get to their desired weight, or they only do so for a short time and then put the weight right back on.
 
If you’ve been dieting for years without lasting results, it might be time to take a different approach. Watch today’s episode to learn more about how to get out of the trap of endless dieting!
  • The majority of people I work with over the years report that they achieved their weight loss goal with extreme dieting, often accompanied by intense exercise. In other words, they got where they wanted to go by unsustainable measures. 
  • The interesting thing is that so many people have the false belief that, “When I look or weigh differently, then I'll be happy.” By the way, you didn't invent this kind of thinking, if you have it. The world did.
  • Diets don't work because when we consistently eat in a way that is too low in calories for the body, which means too low in nutrition, too low in essential nutrients, and too low in what the body needs as its energy requirements...When we do that, our metabolism adjusts downwards over time.
  • Dieting instructs the body very directly to store fat and to not build muscle. Muscle tissue, by the way, is by far and away the main source of calorie burning in the body. So you want your body creating muscle.
  • Your job is to learn how to nourish yourself with food. Your job is to learn how to be an eater.

In Session With Marc David: A Beautiful New Beginning with Food & Body 0

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In Session With Marc David: A Beautiful New Beginning With Food and Body
 
Join Eating Psychology expert Marc David in conversation with Lisa in this episode of the Psychology of Eating Podcast as they delve deep into the difference between losing weight and getting healthy. Marc shows us how to develop the right frame of mind to move towards our natural weight, rather than strive to be unrealistically thin. 
 
Key Insights:
  • Eating challenges can start during childhood. However, you can transform these challenges at any age … whether you’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond. 
  • Nutrient-rich food choices make you healthier and result in natural weight loss, while intuitive eating allows you to tune into what your body is truly hungering for.
  • Societal conditioning helps perpetuate ‘diet culture’ and often causes disordered eating patterns. Learning to identify these unhelpful messages is key to turning the corner in unwanted eating challenges.
  • Being happy with yourself marks the return to consistent nourishment and good health.

Are You An All-or-Nothing Dieter? with Marc David 0
Apr 29, 2021
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
Are You an All-or-Nothing Dieter?
 
When it comes to dieting, many people take an all-or-nothing approach. Meaning, they’re either perfectly following their diet … or they’re completely going off the rails. So often, we set ourselves up for disappointment by adopting a strict set of food rules that we can’t possibly follow in the long run.
 
If this sounds familiar, you won’t want to miss today’s episode where Marc David reveals the truth behind all-or-nothing dieting and how to put a stop to this unwanted pattern! Watch now!
 
Highlights:
 
check mark button All-or-nothing dieting has its roots in the part of us that wants to be the archetypal good boy or good girl, and the part of us that actually enjoys being a bad boy or a bad girl. 
 
check mark buttonWhat makes all-or-nothing dieting patterns so hard to get out of is that not only is the bad boy/bad girl part taking over, but it's also the voice of the rebel in us, the part of us that doesn't want to be told what to do.
 
check mark button Chances are, if we are all-or-nothing with food and diet, we're likely using the all-or-nothing strategy in other parts of life.
 
check mark button Perfectionism is often found at the root of our eating challenges, our body hate, our incessant self-attack and our constant silent self-criticism. The voice ultimately harms us. It's truly a soul assassin. 
 
check mark button Many all-or-nothing dieters, are people who deeply believe that they must eat very low-fat or very low-calorie, or very low-pleasure foods, or a hundred percent raw food diet, or no sweet foods whatsoever… These approaches are bound to fail.
 
In this episode, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David, M.A., uses scientific research and proven methods for approaching all-or-nothing dieting in a way that promotes healing and transformation. Don’t miss out on learning some of the ground-breaking techniques that are helping people worldwide to find a path to greater health, joy, and freedom with food.

In Session With Marc David: Healing Digestive Problems Years after an Eating Disorder 0

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In Session With Marc David: Healing Digestive Problems After an Eating Disorder
 
Join Marc David in this episode of the The Psychology of Eating Podcast as he speaks with Craig who has been struggling with digestive challenges after recovering from an eating disorder as a teenager. Despite her training as a nutritionist and as a graduate of Marc’s eating psychology coach certification training, Craig continues to experience distressing digestive symptoms and hopes to find ways to finally heal her gut. Marc helps Craig identify strategies for strengthening her gut while also reframing her view of herself and her relationship with food. 
 
Key Insights:
  • An eating disorder can continue to impact the digestive system even many years after recovery. Finding ways to create a nourishing relationship with food that is rooted in kindness and caring to self can help to strengthen and improve digestion.
  • You can overcome digestive problems like bloating, indigestion, irregularity, and acid reflux, and reduce dependence upon meds with core strengthening exercise.
  • Emotional causes of digestive problems such as bloating, irregularity, and acid reflux are very common. As we tend to our inner world, these sorts of physical symptoms often naturally resolve. 
  • Recovering from an eating disorder often means learning to manage one’s symptoms while simultaneously retraining ourselves in how to be an eater.
  • It is necessary to start to inhabit the body again and to embrace self-love to reverse the long-term symptoms of indigestion.
Over the years, eating psychology expert, teacher, and founder of the Psychology of Eating Institute, Marc David has helped people around the world transform their relationship with food and body - and find a whole life awaiting for them on the other side. Through his coach certification training, public programs, live events, and bestselling books, Marc demonstrates how our relationship with food can be one of our greatest teachers in life - if we’re willing to listen.

Do You Really Think Sugar is Your Problem? with Marc David 0

Do You Really Think Sugar Is Your Problem?
 
If you believe that you have a sugar addiction, you’re not going to want to miss this episode! Join Marc David, M.A., as he debunks the myth that sugar is the reason why so many of us struggle to reach our health goals. Listen Now!
 
Highlights:
  • There's something that psychologists call ‘symbolic substitutes.’ A symbolic substitute is exactly what it sounds like: When a human being can't get the thing we actually want, we will turn to the next closest and most accessible thing. And sugar is one of the most common symbolic substitutes.
  • All creatures on planet earth are constantly looking to seek comfort and avoid pain. It is simply how we're all wired. Turning to sugar for comfort is a perfectly reasonable strategy. It works!
  • By focusing on what our heart and soul are actually desiring, our dependency on sugar can find a natural and easy ending.
  • The work of beating a sugar addiction is not eliminating sugar, but adding more life, more love, and more connection.
Exploring our food habits from a more fulfilled place, we find our cravings naturally unwind themselves, and we can find the kind of peace and freedom that we've been seeking in sugar.

Will Fasting Help Me Lose Weight? with Marc David 0
Apr 8, 2021
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
Will Fasting Help Me Lose Weight?
 
Yes! But probably not for the reason you may think. In today’s episode, we take a closer look at fasting, why it is good for your body, and why it may not be the best method for long-term weight loss.
 
Highlights:
 
check mark button What I've observed over the years is that there is a subset of people who, when they reduce their caloric intake via dieting or fasting, do indeed lose weight. But guess what? The human body cannot sustain itself for very long on a deficiency in calories and nutrition.
 
check mark button What many people experience is that they can indeed fast, indeed lose weight, but they tend to gain it right back.
 
check mark button Fasting can provide the kind of detoxification that allows our metabolism to shift to a more normal and healthy state. Research has shown that liver detoxification can lead to weight loss.
 
check mark button When fasting, we're generally eliminating the most common food allergens that smart clinicians will notice can cause weight loss resistance. 
 
check mark button Fasting can create a potent and powerful state of being that is not just about shedding pounds. It's about cleaning out the mind. It's about detoxifying ourselves of harmful thoughts and outdated beliefs about who we are. 
 
Fasting is a practice that dates back to biblical times, but what are the practical applications for modern living? Join Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, for this eye-opening episode that explores the real purpose of fasting, and what we can reasonably expect from introducing this practice into our lives.

In Session With Marc David: Letting Go of Perfection 0
Apr 6, 2021
https://psychologyofeating.online/ss/
Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In Session With Marc David: Letting Go Of Perfection
 
In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc David talks to Ashley, a 30-year old woman from Australia. Ashley wants to lose 20 kilos, but even more importantly, she wants to become a mother. In the course of their conversation, Marc helps Ashley identify some perfectionistic tendencies that have caused her to believe that she can’t become a mother until she first loses weight and resolves some early traumatic experiences. Watch as Ashley’s mind opens to what’s truly possible for her… once she allows for the human imperfections and messiness that make life beautiful.
 
Key Insights:
  • Perfectionism often has its roots in fear. As we learn to be more accepting of our perceived flaws and wounds, we paradoxically relax, let go, and begin to live from a more trusting place.
  • Learning to live with our imperfections means being able to embrace some of the messiness of life.
  • We are all works in progress. None of us is perfect. And that’s perfectly OK. 
  • Often we put conditions on our life. Meaning, “I’ll do X once I’ve done Y.” The problem is these conditions can be perpetual to the point where we never actually get what we truly want. One of the most powerful things we can do in life is to recognize what our hearts most desire, and go after that passionately and without delay. 
  • Extra weight doesn’t always represent unresolved trauma or mean that we’re holding onto something “bad.” Sometimes, the only real problem is the beliefs that we hold about what that weight represents.

As the founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, he reaches millions each year through his books, speaking engagements, celebrated podcast series, and his internationally-acclaimed Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
Are you ready to overcome the habit of emotional eating? Here’s the truth behind why we do it, and the secret to how we can stop it. Listen now!
 
Highlights:
  • Viewing emotional eating as the problem, the enemy, or as something we need to fight, control, or to somehow dominate, is an approach never works.
  • What most people don't know is that every unwanted habit has a hidden wisdom to it. Once we uncover that hidden wisdom, we are on our way to transformation and freedom. 
  • Emotional eating does not mean you're a willpower weakling. It does not mean you're a failure, or that there's something wrong with you. Every human throughout all of human history has used food from infancy to regulate emotions.
  • Usually, emotional eating is asking us to attend to our emotions in a whole new way. It’s asking us to look at what's really going on in our lives and explore what's truly happening in our inner world.
  • You will not find a single personal growth approach or psychological system that has proven itself successful for personal growth that focuses on self-attack. Emotional eating is a sign that you need to offer yourself more self-love and self-kindness. 
 
In this episode, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David, M.A., offers key insights into the world of emotional eating, along with some practical strategies for addressing this challenge in a way that promotes healing and transformation. Discover some of the ground-breaking techniques that are helping millions of people worldwide to find a path to greater health, joy, and freedom with food.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with food in a lasting and meaningful way? What if you could help others find the path to greater freedom and joy with food as well? 
 
In today’s episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc David works with Holly, a 41-year-old nutritionist seeking to lose 30 pounds. Holly acknowledges that, despite her dedication to helping others lead healthier lives through good nutrition, she’s personally struggling to lose weight and often finds herself overly focused on what and how to eat. Through the course of their work together, Holly comes to see herself, her body, and her challenges in an entirely new light. Tune in now to watch their transformational session!
 
Key Insights:
  • It’s been said that we teach what we’re learning. It’s OK to not have everything figured out - it’s all truly part of the human experience.  
  • Weight loss resistance can be tricky to figure out and can be caused by a variety of physiological and/or emotional factors. 
  • It’s entirely reasonable when we’re having a tough time losing weight to assume that we either haven’t found the right diet OR that there’s something wrong with us. It’s logical to pursue these possibilities, but sometimes we find that neither is true. And this can lead us to some interesting places…
  • So many people continue to focus on the “calories in-calories out” model. But creating health and balance in the body simply can’t be distilled down to such a simplistic, black and white formula. 
 
With his dual training in clinical nutrition and psychology, Marc David has spent the last 40 years helping people around the world heal their relationship with food. As the founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, he reaches millions each year through his books, speaking engagements, celebrated podcast series, and his internationally-acclaimed Mind Body Eating Coach Certification Training.

People sometimes claim to be addicted to food, but here is the simple and irrefutable science: We cannot be addicted to that which is essential to life. Here’s the truth about overeating, and how to transform our relationship with food. Watch Now!
 
Highlights
 
  • When it comes to food addiction, more specifically the answer to the question, “Am I a food addict?” No, you are not a food addict. You've never been one, and neither you nor anyone else in the known universe will ever be one. 
  • Can we be dependent on food to give us emotional comfort? Yes. Can we develop the unwanted habit of turning to food when we're stressed, or anxious, or angry or depressed, or bored, or lonely? Yes, but that has nothing to do with the concept of addiction. 
  • If I call myself a food addict, then clearly food becomes the drug that I must somehow avoid and eliminate from my life. This creates an impossible-to-solve conundrum that leaves a lot of people feeling powerless and hopeless.
  • We as human beings, can have challenges around overeating, and binge eating, and emotional eating...and there are wonderful ways to work with these concerns in an effective, compassionate and skillful manner.

In Session With Marc David: 70 Years Old & Finally Has A Breakthrough with Dieting
 
So many of us have a challenging relationship with food. Many struggle with a lifelong problem where food is something that is both hated and loved – a source of comfort but also a reason to attack, blame and judge ourselves. In today’s episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, 70-year-old Joan shares her lifelong struggle with food and works with Marc to finally come to terms with her body and her relationship with food. Watch this inspiring conversation now!
 
Key Insights:
  • Developing a peaceful relationship with the body and with food is much more complex and difficult than it sounds, but it’s truly possible.
  • Society conditions us to think that we can never be too rich or too thin. Letting go of these societal concepts leads us to a deep-rooted state of inner peace and self-acceptance. 
  • Many people struggle with food all their lives. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. It is every human’s birthright to live with peace, joy, and freedom in every area of life - including with food. 
  • Being gainfully occupied in doing the things that are enjoyable and rewarding can be a powerful antidote to unhealthy eating habits.
  • The shift from the ‘Princess’ to ‘Queen’ stage of a woman’s life is incredibly potent. As she makes this vital shift, a woman moves from looking for external validation from those around her to looking within for the kind of lasting love and acceptance she truly wants and needs.
