Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Wellness Diaries podcast, I'm talking about SUGAR. I clarify that sugar alone does not cause weight gain; rather, it's the excess calorie intake that leads to weight issues. I explains the concept of energy balance and distinguishes between natural and added sugars.  I highlight the psychological pitfalls of restrictive diets and advocates for moderation instead of an all-or-nothing approach. Using a client example, I illustrate the importance of a balanced diet that includes occasional sugary treats, promoting a healthier relationship with food. Topics discussed: Negative reputation of sugar in society Relationship between sugar, calories, and weight gain Concept of energy balance in weight management Distinction between added sugars and natural sugars Challenges of overeating processed sugary foods Psychological implications of sugar restriction Importance of moderation over an all-or-nothing mindset Role of food quality versus quantity in nutrition Guidelines for sugar intake and overall dietary patterns Emphasis on a balanced approach to nutrition and well-being     FREEBIES & SPECIAL OFFERS Overcome Emotional Eating Guide: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x9y29daqts?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR1X6TbHltyHFKymLHwwfzSxbdntKn8Y-1YnneKO0daE_Wbwdbr_RN8wCWk_aem_1_7btfhpIlESNQUmM6gNtw No Brainer Fat Loss Checklist: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/fatlosschecklist 1:1 Coaching Application: https://www.ahubnutrition.com/coachingapplication Join the email list: https://ahubnutrition.myflodesk.com/x8208kqszl FIND ME ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleighmariehubbard/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/ahubnutrition/  IG: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessdiariespodcast/
