And of course, this is known as a craving. And of course, this is not hunger.”– Dr. Adrienne Youdim Today’s Health Bite: If we are not aware, then we stand no chance of interrupting the automatic reactions we have to our triggers.Key Takeaways:“Scientific studies show that when we are exposed to food cues for high calorie, highly palatable foods, a.k.a. super yummy, calorie-dense foods, we increase consumption of these foods as well as consumption of other foods, resulting in eating more, and ultimately, in weight gain.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim“When we pause between our trigger and our reaction, between our desire and habitual response, that is where we can distinguish emotional hunger from physical hunger.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim“There are times in our lives when we're in an unhealthy place with food, and to be moderate is just not an option.” – Dr. Adrienne YoudimHow We Can Support Adrienne—and Each Other Our community’s love and presence are powerful.
