Quick tip: Distinguish between nutrient-dense vs. calorie-dense foods to combat cravings
[Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 59 seconds.]
Given that I was down for the count last week, I had to postpone the recording with Dr. Jill Rubin Silverman, RDN. It was certainly worth the wait. We covered a wide range of topics in the diet and nutrition space, including questions that anyone submitted.
The recording will be released in snippets to make it easier to digest (haha, pun intended). Next week, I’ll get out proper show notes for Dr. Jill and how you can follow/contact her.
I love a good visual demo, as demonstrated by last week’s snippet from the conversation with Melissa Bloom of Full Bloom Coaching - lots of positive feedback on the multi-tasking video!
So when Dr. Jill offered up one relevant to our chat, I was very excited. The above video is a quick demonstration on how you can manage the consumption of nutrient-dense foods vs. calorie-dense foods.
In the longer recording, we also spent a fair amount of time on diets covering:
Their ineffectiveness at helping you keep the weight off once you lose it
How “yo-yo dieting”, which is a redundant term, can put your cardiac health at risk
Her proven approach to getting patients off of the “diet treadmill” to something more sustainable for the long-term
Why eliminating whole macro groups (i.e., carbohydrates, fat) is not beneficial for you
Other topics covered:
What happens to people who are using Wegovy, Ozempic, etc. when they hit their target bodyweight/BMI - will insurance stop covering it and what are those implications?
Food strategies for people on the go, especially for my “Uber driver parents” who are subscribers
The benefits of leveraging “Intuitive Eating” and how they can be applied to your life
Discussion topics with your doctor when you have your annual physical (yes, everyone should be getting an annual physical - especially if you have insurance)
Supplements - taken on their own or as part of a diet regimen
Eating disorders and “disordered eating”
Why we should be learning from “Blue Zones”, including the reasons why the “Mediterranean Diet” is so effective
“Health halos” (think halo effect) and sneaky marketing
I’m looking forward to getting this content for all of you to watch/listen to. When it is released, transcripts will also be provided.
I’m grateful for Dr. Jill and her time in sharing her vast expertise on these topics and look forward to continuing the discussion.
