There are many wholesome, healthy choices to break the fast in the morning.

Tune in to hear about 15 breakfast ideas that may be traditional, but, are not helping to start your day out on the right foot and some healthier options to include instead.

This is a great episode from June 2024. Well worth another listen. Enjoy!

An eating pattern or diet that works for you, may not work for your friend. There’s bio-individuality around body functions, behaviors and daily habits that affect our health.

With the 'diet du jour' with social media trends, the ‘all or nothing’ thinking of starting a perfect eating plan and getting thrown off schedule, is a common issue that many people have when embarking on a new diet or lifestyle change.

Black and white thinking and all or nothing thoughts can keep you stuck in procrastination and the cycle of negativity.

Today, we discuss these common struggles for people who are looking to improve their health and change the way they have tried behaviour change in the past.

Dietitian Michele McAlister, RD from Bite by Byte Nutrition Consulting (⁠bitebybytenc.com⁠) discusses the problems with all or nothing thinking, overeating, cravings, and strategies to help reduce stress eating. You can also follow Michele on ⁠Instagram⁠.

A question from a listener comes for today's episode.

"My husband has diabetes, high blood pressure, and travels a lot for work. I think he eats too fast at meals and I wanted to know what the health risks are of eating too fast?

What a great question! Sandra and Rob do a deep dive into this topic and go into many different aspects of the common practice of eating rapidly at meals. Living the North American lifestyle really sets people to wolf down their food in a hurry to get to the next thing:)
