>> HELPING YOU LIVE HEALTHY. NOW THAT THE PANDEMIC CROSSED INTO
2021. THE ISSUE OF QUARANTINE
WEIGHT GAINS BECOME A SERIOUS
HEALTH CONCERN. DOCTORS ARE
BEGINNING TO SEE IT ALMOST
EVERY TIME A PATIENT STEPS ON
THE
SCALE SO HOW DO WE TURN IT
AROUND ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING
THE MIDDLE OF WINTER WHEN
OUTDOOR EXERCISE ACTIVITIES CAN
SOMETIMES BE MORE DIFFICULT.
JOINING ME ON THE MORNING SHOW
KERRY FOR A HEALTHY LIVING
EXPERT, HEY
GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU
DOING GREAT SO ONE WAY TO
COLLEGE IT WAS THE FRESHMAN 15
NOW WE HAVE THE QUARANTINE 15
MAYBE 20. SO DON’T TOUCH.
MY PIZZA FIRST OF ALL, BUT MY
BIG HOW DO WE TURN THINGS
AROUND WHERE DO WE START.
>> YEAH, WELL SO
MANY PEOPLE.
>>LAUREN VERNO: ARE NOW FINDING
THEMSELVES WANDERING AROUND THE
KITCHEN, MORE FREQUENTLY THAN
BEFORE BECAUSE WE’RE HOME A LOT
MORE THEY MAY OR MAY NOT BE
HUNGRY. SO FIRST WHAT I HAVE
CLIENTS DO IS I
ASK THEM DO YOU REALLY WANT THE
DAWN OF LIKE COOKIE PIZZA OR
THE THING THAT YOU’RE HEADED
INTO THE KITCHEN TO
ACTUALLY HAVE SO STEP ONE AND
THAT IS WE HAVE A PATTERN
INTERRUPT. WE ASK YOURSELF DO I
REALLY
WANT THIS. AND THAT HELPS US AT
LEAST CONSCIOUSLY PAS IN
THAT MOMENT AND THEN MAKE A
DECISION FROM
THAT PLACE.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: YEAH WE’RE
GOING GO BACK TO THAT PATTERN
IN IRAQ AS PART OF A 3 STAGE
PROCESS IN MINUTES. BUT LET ME
GO BACK TO THIS.
WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO BE
DIFFICULT
ON OURSELVES SHOULD WE GO EASY
ON OURSELVES AND KIND OF HAVE A
A GUILT-FREE CONVERSATION
REALIZE WE’RE NOT ALONE IN THIS
BATTLE.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YEAH,
ABSOLUTELY I THINK NOW MORE
THAN EVER WE GET TO HAVE A
LONGER RUNWAY OF GRACE
AND COMPASSION WE’VE NEVER BEEN
HERE BEFORE THESE ARE
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES THERE’S A
LOT
OF UNCERTAINTY BOUNDARIES HAVE
BEEN BLURRED WHETHER IT’S
WORKING FROM HOME CHILDREN
HOMESCHOOLED. ABSOLUTELY YEAH I
WOULD AGREE WITH YOU THERE.
SO I’VE HEARD THAT THERE’S
SOMETHING CALLED.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: MINDFUL
EATING AND YOU CAN USE THAT AS
KIND OF A CORNERSTONE OF THIS
PROVERBIAL LAW FOOD FIGHT FOR
BAD LACK OF A BETTER TERM.
>> ABSOLUTELY YES, I’M MINDFUL
EATING IS THE PRACTICE OF
CONSCIOUSLY EATING.
YOU KNOW IN LIFE WITH ALL THE
TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES WHICH IS
SO AMAZING WE’VE GOTTEN USED TO
UNCONSCIOUSLY EATING RIGHT THAT MEANS EATING FRONT OF THE TV EVEN WHILE WE’RE ON OUR PHONE
PERHAPS EATING OUT TO GO
CONTAINERS ARE STANDING UP AT
THE COUNTER. OFTENTIMES THESE
ARE THINGS THAT I SEE CLIENTS
STRUGGLING IN ORDER TO START TO
UNDO SOME OF THOSE PATTERNS
THAT ARE AUTOMATED IN CURRENT A
HEALTHY HABITS. >>BRUCE HAMILTON: I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID, MY MY PARENTS
HAD TO RULE NUMBER ONE DO YOUR
HOMEWORK AND ONLY MAKE ME ASK
IF YOU DID AT NUMBER 2. WE’RE
GOING TO SIT DOWN AT THE
DINNER TABLE. WE’LL HAVE A
CONVERSATION WE’RE GOING TO
HAVE DINNER AT THE TABLE.
SO LET ME GO BACK TO WHERE YOU
STARTED AND EMPLOYING THAT
STRATEGY WHICH YOU CALLED
PATTERN INTERRUPT, AND IT’S
REALLY A THREE-PRONGED APPROACH
AND IT INVOLVES GRABBING THAT
COOKIE.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YES, SO WHEN
YOU FIND YOURSELF WONDERING YET
AGAIN INTO THE KITCHEN, OPENING
THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR IN
THE PANTRY IT’S IT’S NOT WRONG
TO WANT THE COOKIE
BUT YOU GET TO LEARN HOW TO
TRUST YOURSELF AND REALLY
INTERRUPT THE PATTERN THERE
AGAIN.
2 FOCUS ON THIS PRACTICE OF
MINDFUL EATING AS YOU
BROUGHT UP, SO WE ENGAGE INTO
WHAT’S CALLED THE PATTERN
INTERAPT WHICH IS AS I’M
REACHING FOR THAT COOKIE OR
SCOOPING THAT ICE DAMAGED THE
BOAT. DO I EVEN WANT THIS.
>>LAUREN VERNO: AND THAT IS
ACTUALLY THE FIRST QUESTION
BASED ON INTO AN
EATING PRINCIPLES.
>> I HAVE CLIENTS ASK
THEMSELVES AND YOU SAY FROM
THERE YOU GO TO MAKING SOME
CONSCIOUS CHOICES. CORRECT
THERE
ARE TOO OFTEN TIMES PANS THAT I
SEE CLIENTS
JOURNEY THROUGH THE FIRST ONE
IS THEY MAY HAVE FULL CLARITY
AROUND IF THEY DO OR THEY DON’T
WANT
THE COOKIE. SO IN WHICH CASE
THEY WOULD SAY I’M USING THE
COOKIE BUT CAN BE ANYTHING
RIGHT IN WHICH CASE THEY WOULD
SAY OK I ACTUALLY DON’T WANT TO
COOK IN A PUT THE
COOKIE AWAY. THE OTHER SCENARIO
MIGHT BE THAT YES THEY DO WANT
A COOKIE THAT PERSON HAS
CLARITY NOW PAT NUMBER 2
SOMEONE
MIGHT BE FEELING WHAT’S CALLED
THE EMOTIONAL CHARGE EMOTIONAL
KEARNS III WHICH IS WHAT I DEEM
AS 8,000 NEW POSITIVE OR
NEGATIVE AROUND FOOD IT’S THAT
ONE FOOD OR MAYBE SEVERAL FOODS
YOU FEEL OUT OF CONTROL WITH
IT HAS POWER OVER YOU OFTEN
TIMES YOU FEEL YOU CAN’T BE
LEFT IN THE KITCHEN WITH MAYBE
YOU EVEN DON’T EVEN BRING INTO
THE HOUSE.
SO THAT IS WHERE WE GET TO SAY
YOU KNOW WHAT LET’S JUST GIVE
YOURSELF GRACE COMPASSION AND
PERMISSION HERE BECAUSE THAT
PARTICULAR PATH OF THAT CLIENT
MAY NOT KNOW IF THEY WANT A
COOKIE WHY BECAUSE THEY STILL
HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CHARGE AN
EMOTIONAL CURRENCY AROUND SAID
FOOD.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: AND THEN
FINALLY SAY DO WHATEVER YOU
GOING TO DO WITH CONFIDENCE.
COOKING CONFIDENCE.
>> I LOVE THIS SO I HAVE
SOMETHING CALLED COOKIE
CONFIDENCE WHICH IS IT’S NOT
ABOUT GIVING UP THE COOKIE.
IT’S ABOUT KNOWING WHETHER OR
NOT YOU WANT
THE COOKIE AND KNOWING THAT
YOU’RE RIGHT EITHER WAY BASED
ON MINDFULNESS AND OUR OWN
INTUITION GUIDING
US THERE.
>> ALRIGHT CARRYFORWARD SOME
GOOD ADVICE OF PEOPLE WANT TO
GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU HOW DO
THEY
DO IT.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YEAH YOU CAN
FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM AT ELEVATE
WITH KERRY K RIGHT OR ELEVATE
WITH KERRY
DOT COM.
>>BRUCE HAMILTON: GOOD TALKING.
HOPEFULLY. WE’VE HELPED SOME
