How To Read Egg Labels

September 28, 2009 by angishields

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to read egg labels. Since the FDA likes to put labels on all foods, eggs have not escaped their scrutiny. So now all you have to figure out is what all these new labels mean. Omega 3 Fortified means the hens were fed omega 3s in their feed, which therefore make their eggs omega fortified. When an egg is said to come from free range or cage free hen that means the hens have a less stressful, healthier lifestyle which in turns makes a healthier egg – an egg with similar attributes of an egg from the good old days when chickens and horses ran free.

Dr David Kessler Explains His New Book The End of Overeating

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on one of Dr Fitness’ favorite authors. Dr. David Kessler. He is the former Commissioner of the FDA (the same guy who changed food labels and took on the tobacco industry) and author of the bestselling book The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite. This book will change the way you look at food. In the book Dr Kessler cracks the code to why you overeat. He explains that the food industry has literally made it a science to figure out exactly what makes food so delicious and addicting. He calls these foods hyper palatable. These hyper-palatable foods have been engineered in food labs to actually change your brain chemistry so that you crave and want to eat more. Restaurants and food manufacturers combine fat, sugar and salt in cleverly delicious ways to make you want it more and more. They have come up with foods that have never existed before and that humans desire with such demand that many of these companies are multi-billion dollar money machines. Dr Kessler explains why you overeat and gives you some ways to stop. And stopping is not as simple as trying harder and having willpower because these foods change your brain chemistry much like drugs or nicotine does. In order to stop you have to treat your favorite trigger foods much like an alcoholic treats liquor. You have to avoid it and avoid the places it is served. And you can’t connect the food with emotional memories. Try to reward yourself and celebrate in other ways rather than eating and going out to restaurants.

How To Stop Emotional Eating

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share secrets how to stop emotional eating. Stress is a huge trigger when it comes to emotional eating. So the trick is to be aware when you are under stress and instead of reaching for food to make yourself feel better you reach for something else. I know easier said than done. But awareness is the first step to fixing a problem. You will have to reprogram your brain to not connect eating with making relieving stress. You must connect food only with being the fuel you need to live. Food should not be the thing that makes you feel good after a bad day or the thing that you reward yourself with after a success.
