We often hear about which foods to eat or avoid on a weight loss journey, but what about how to eat? In this jam-packed episode, we’ll be exploring the different approaches to eating and their impact on weight loss – from fasting to snacking and emotional eating.

In episode 4 of Weight Loss 360°, join host Helen Thorn, GP Dr Sam Wellappili and nutritionist and nurse Ruth Taylor to learn about the benefits of intermittent fasting, how our eating habits can impact weight loss and how to overcome the urge to snack. Plus we’ll share practical, realistic tips to help you break the habits that might be slowing you down, and most importantly, reframe your mindset and be kind to yourself throughout your weight loss journey.

Dr Sam is a GP as well as a coach and mentor, author, and nutritional and yoga therapist. Ruth Taylor is a BANT nutritionist and registered nurse.
