WONDERFUL PISTACHIOS. >> THANK YOU TO WONDERFUL
PISTACHIOS FOR SPONSORING THIS
SEGMENT.
SEGMENT.
SEGMENT. >>> MAYBE YOU ARE THINKING
ABOUT A PLANT-BASED DIET BUT
YOU NEED HELP CURVING THE
CRAVINGS.
CRAVINGS.
CRAVINGS. DR. IAN SMITH SAYS YOUR MIND
HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT.
CHECK OUT OUR CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE
SUMMER SLIM DOWN.
DOCTOR, I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE
YOU EVEN IF IT IS VIRTUALLY.
FIRST, BEFORE YOUR TIPS AND
ADVICE, HOW ARE YOU?
HOW IS THE FAMILY?
>> WE ARE DOING GREAT.
WE ARE THRIVING.
WE ARE BEING PRODUCTIVE.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO
DEAL WITH, SO LET'S MAKE THE
MOST OF IT.
WE ARE DOING GREAT.
THANKS FOR ASKING.
>> WONDERFUL.
>> WONDERFUL. I AM HAPPY TO HEAR.
I ALWAYS LOVE INTERVIEWING YOU
IN STUDIO ABOUT HOW TO STAY
HEALTHY, GET HEALTHY IF WE HAVE
TAKEN A PATH THAT'S LED US IN A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
DIFFERENT DIRECTION. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING
JUST THAT IN THE LAST EIGHT
WEEKS, REACHING FOR UNHEALTHY
SNACKS OR PERHAPS EATING
BECAUSE WE ARE NERVOUS, HAVE
ANXIETY, DRINKING BECAUSE WE
HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO.
LET'S TALK ABOUT REALLY HOW WE
CAN CURB THE CRAVINGS.
>> I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO
TALK TO YOU.
FOR A LONG TIME, I HAVE BEEN
WANTING TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT
THE MIND AND WEIGHT LOSS.
I BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
SIX INCHES BETWEEN YOUR EARS IS
GROUND ZERO.
GROUND ZERO. WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE WHO ARE
SUCCESSFUL LOSING WEIGHT VERSES
THOSE WHO STRUGGLE, THE
DIFFERENCE IS ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON IN THE MIND.
HOW DO YOU FIND MOTIVATION?
HOW DO YOU KEEP IT?
HOW DO YOU SET THE RIGHT GOALS?
HOW DO YOU FIND THE RIGHT PLAN?
HOW DO YOU CRUSH THOSE
CRAVINGS?
CRAVINGS?
CRAVINGS? THIS IS WHAT I PLAN TO TACKLE.
THE BEAUTY OF THIS IS PEOPLE
NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR
RELATIONSHIP IS WITH FOOD.
WHEN PEOPLE BETTER UNDERSTAND
THAT, THEY DO BETTER.
CRAVINGS ARE DIFFERENT THAN
HUNGER.
HUNGER.
HUNGER. HUNGER IS SOMETHING WHERE YOUR
BODY IS SAYING I NEED TO EAT, I
NEED NUTRITION RIGHT AWAY AND I
WILL NOT STOP STEPPING YOU
UNTIL YOU FEED ME.
CRAVINGS ARE DIFFICULT.
DOPAMINE MAKES US FEEL GOOD.
WHEN YOU EAT OR DRINK SOMETHING
THAT YOU LIKE THAT FEELS GOOD,
YOUR BRAIN RELEASES A LOT OF
DOPAMINE AND LETS YOU REMEMBER
THAT THIS IS WHAT MADE ME FEEL
GOOD.
GOOD.
GOOD. IF
GOOD. IF YOU THINK ABOUT A CHOCOLATE
CHIP COOKIE OR YOU SMELL OR SEE
IT, YOUR BODY RELEASES THAT
CHEMICAL AND IT MAKES YOU WANT
TO GET IT.
IN CHAPTER 4, I TALK ABOUT WAYS
TO OUT LAST CRAVINGS.
CRAVINGS ONLY LAST 15 TO 20
MINUTES.
MINUTES.
MINUTES. THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT. THEY GO AWAY.
>> GIVE US REAL CONCRETE TIPS
AS FAR AS RECOGNIZING THE
DIFFERENTIATION.
DIFFERENTIATION. IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE YOUR
EXPERTISE.
EXPERTISE. FOR THE REST OF US, ESPECIALLY
IN THIS TIME, I AM NOT LOOKING
FOR THE SIGNALS.
I AM TRYING TO FEEL BETTER IN
THE WRONG WAY PERHAPS.
>> ASK THREE BASIC QUESTIONS.
ONE, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I
HAD SOMETHING TO EAT?
IF YOU HAVE EATEN IN AN HOUR OR
HOUR AND A HALF, YOU ARE NOT
REALLY HUNGRY.
REALLY HUNGRY. TWO, WHAT IS THIS GOING TO DO
TO YOUR BODY?
IS IT REALLY GOING TO GIVE YOU
THE ENERGY YOU NEED?
OR WILL IT JUST PACIFY YOU FOR
A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME?
LAST YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF
DO I FEEL HUNGRY?
AM I THIRSTY?
AM I JUST MINDLESSLY EATING?
YOU ASK YOURSELF THOSE
QUESTIONS FIRST.
QUESTIONS FIRST. IF YOU ARE CRAVING SOMETHING
SALTY TRY EDIMAME.
THESE ARE NICE THIN SEAWEED
SNACKS.
SNACKS.
SNACKS. THEY'RE FULL OF PROTEIN, HAVE
SOME FIBER.
SOME FIBER. THEY'RE ALSO LOW IN CALORIES.
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING SWEET,
TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
THESE ARE CHOCOLATE COVERED
BANANA SLICES AND CHOCOLATE
COVERED STRAWBERRIES.
COVERED STRAWBERRIES. YOU GET THE ANTIOXIDANTS AND
DARK CHOCOLATES.
DARK CHOCOLATES. IF YOU ARE CRAVING SOMETHING
SAVORY, TRY SOMETHING LIKE
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. THE
THIS. THE HUMMUS IS FULL OF FIBER,
PROTEIN.
PROTEIN.
PROTEIN. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN HUMMUS.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE SWAP OUTS
IF YOU CAN'T OUT LAST YOUR
CRAVING.
CRAVING.
CRAVING. >> I LOVE IT.
I WROTE THE SEAWEED DOWN.
I WILL TELL YOU I HAVE THAT
SALTY CRAVING AND MAYBE AN HOUR
LATER, I HAVE THE SWEET
CRAVING.
CRAVING.
CRAVING. I LIKE THAT YOU ARE TELLING US
GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD.
GO AHEAD. YOU CAN SATISFY THE CRAVING BUT
DO IT IN A WAY THAT'S BETTER
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU. LET'S TALK ABOUT WAYS WE CAN
EASILY BOOST OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO
GET SICK OBVIOUSLY.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT
WHAT WE CAN DO ON A DAILY BASIS
TO ENSURE THAT?
>> FIRST, THE IMMUNE SYSTEM CAN
BE BOOSTED BY FOOD.
IMPROVE THE IN TAKE OF VITAMINS
AND NUTRIENTS.
AND NUTRIENTS. VITAMINS A, B, C, D ARE VERY
IMPORTANT FOR YOUR IMMUNE
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM. EXERCISE BOOSTS THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM AND IT RELEASES
ENDORPHINS.
ENDORPHINS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELONG TO A
GYM.
GYM.
GYM. THINGS LIKE CITRUS, BROCCOLI,
LEMONS, GINGER, GARLIC,
SPINACH, ALL THESE ARE GOOD
IMMUNE BOOSTERS BECAUSE IT
GIVES THE VITAMINS WE NEED.
>> I LOVE TALKING TO YOU.
