Melissa Nofer joins Vinnie Tortorich on this Saturday episode of the Angriest Trainer podcast. She asks questions regarding food addiction.
MUSIC
- “Dire Straits” comes up because last name Nofler
- Melissa isn’t a huge Bruce Springsteen fan
- She tends to like the music that Vinnie plays but not always
WHY DOES FAT STAY?
- Melissa is frustrated because she tries really hard to lose weight around her middle
- She wonders if it is her age, hormones, insulin resistance, etc.
- Perhaps it is in her head? Falling back into eating bad food is an addiction — relapse
MELISSA’S FOOD ADDICTION
- She is dairy and egg sensitive so she has been doing elimination dieting
- Melissa will have some wine and a slice of cake and then relapses, gaining all of the weight back in a couple of weeks
- If Melissa has had a bad day, by the afternoon she may have a bag of chips
- Psychological side may require a psychiatrist help etc.
- Another way to deal with this is to avoid trigger food
- For Melissa, one is definitely wine
- Once you start eating badly, it’s like heroine
- You need it to feel good (even though it is bad for you)
- Once you start eating badly, it’s like heroine
- For Melissa, one is definitely wine
- Also issue of Pavlovian response
- When Melissa watches “Housewives”, she sees them eating badly and drinking wine which tempts her
- Maybe stop watching such shows
- When Melissa watches “Housewives”, she sees them eating badly and drinking wine which tempts her
