#weight loss podcast

Today I am joined by weight loss surgeon Simon Monkhouse.  In our fascinating conversation Simon helps us navigate the different weight loss surgical options, as well as emphasising the importance of an holistic approach to a successful outcome for bariatric patients.  One area of which is mindful eating. 

We discuss the complex nature of obesity, the damage done by dieting to our natural weight set point and metabolism, and how surgery interrupts and resets the body to help people suffering with obesity reconnect with their hormones to eat more normally and lose weight.

It's a really enlightening conversation which may answer several questions you have about this huge topic.  As Simon says, we'd need 24 hours to talk about it properly!

In this little mindful moment, specifically scheduled for the New Year, I talk about losing weight.  It's a big conversation.  How to lose weight - if you Googled that, you'd be there all day scrolling through the options.

I want to talk about how to do it with lasting success.  I also start the conversation with the fact that it is fine to want to lose weight (despite a lot of social media conversation to the contrary) but I do have certain caveats for you to think about. 

Much of my thinking is based on research done by the National Weight Registry in the US and from the National Centre for Eating Disorders who specialise in the treatment of weight loss and obesity, as well as EDs.

I also mention my The Mindful Way programme which you can find here:
