E.207 Why You Can't Stop Thinking About Food (and What to Do About It) with Dominique Ludwig

This week, in my kitchen, I’m joined by Dominique Ludwig, one of the UK’s leading nutritionists. Dominique holds an MSc in Nutrition from King’s College London and has over 20 years of clinical experience helping people improve their health, relationship with food and overall wellbeing through evidence-based nutrition. She is the author of the bestselling book and Sunday Times Best-Selling Cook Book No-Nonsense Nutrition and is known for her practical, science-backed approach to healthy eating.In this episode, we dive into one of the most common struggles people face when it comes to food: why we can’t seem to stop thinking about it.We explore what a balanced diet actually looks like in real life, beyond diet culture, calorie counting and food rules. Dominique explains why so many of us experience "food noise" and how constantly thinking about food is often a sign that we're not meeting our body's nutritional needs. We discuss the importance of building meals that are genuinely satisfying, including enough protein, fibre and nutrient-dense foods, and why focusing on what to add to your plate can be far more powerful than focusing on restriction.We also talk about the simple habits that can help you feel more energised, nourished and at peace around food.Whether you're tired of obsessing over what to eat, trying to build healthier habits, or simply want a clearer understanding of nutrition without the confusion, this episode is packed with practical advice you can start using straight away.Topics we discuss:How easy healthy food can actually be?Hacks for making healthy eating easier and quickerSome foods that you would encourage everyone to have in their food cupboardThoughts onProtein powderMCT oilCounting CaloriesFood NoiseMyth BustingSponsors:Healthy Habits - Try mouth tape today and get 20% off your first purchase with code CATCHUPS20click hereZAPP discount code - ZAPPKITCHEN - £10 off your first 4 orders over £30This episode was hosted and produced by Georgia SymondsGeorgia’s Instagram - click here!Dominiques Instagram - click here!For more information and other interesting articles check out our website: www.catchupsinmykitchen.com  Hosted on Acast.
