Joyful Eating

Why do I feel hungry all the time? I used to wonder that too, until I went 72 hours without food and hunger taught me a lesson I didn’t expect. Years ago, before I learned to listen to my body, I used intermittent fasting to manage my weight. The first time I fasted, I did it on purpose. I’d just come off night shift at Arnott’s, the cookie company, during a new product launch, and I decided to see how long I could go. I flew back to Sydney and made it 24 hours without food. I remember marvelling that I could go that long. I’d never done it before. Over the years I worked up to a 72 hour fast. It taught me more about hunger than anything else has. Do I do it now? No. It makes me miserable. I have zero plans to ever do one again. But what happened on the third morning changed how I think about hunger for good. Ready for More Ease With Food?

I’ve been thinking about how to improve bone density naturally ever since a friend of mine, similar age to me, was diagnosed with osteopenia last year. She’s mid-50s. So am I. It got me thinking. I was pretty confident I’d be fine. But I figured it was time to stop assuming and actually get tested. Here in Australia, the government doesn’t fund a bone density test until you turn 70. So I paid for it myself. I see that as an investment in my health, not an expense.

Am I eating too much protein to lose weight? That’s what a friend asked me last month, over coffee in Sydney. She’s in perimenopause and her doctor told her she needed more protein or she’d lose muscle mass. So she’d been forcing down 120 grams a day. Sick of roast chicken. Sick of the whole thing. And her weight? Kept going up. Clothes stopped fitting. She felt terrible. So here’s what I told my friend… Want help building the skill of listening to your body? This isn’t just about protein.

I want to stop mindless eating — that’s the exact thought I had last night, standing in my kitchen with a handful of macadamias I don’t even remember picking up. My Irishman had left the jar out after breakfast. Next thing I know, macadamias are in my mouth. Then I’m going back for more. And I catch myself thinking, “Whoa, what am I doing?” This used to be me all the time. Before I learned to listen to my body, I’d spend whole afternoons in the kitchen, picking. Grabbing random bites here, there, everywhere. These days it’s rare. But it still creeps back in… which is exactly why I want to talk about it. Want help to stop mindless eating?
