This is day 5 of the Anxiety Summit. Margaret Floyd, nutritional therapist, writer, real food advocate and author of Eat Naked, is interviewed by host of the Anxiety Summit, Trudy Scott, Food Mood Expert and Nutritionist, author of The Antianxiety Food Solution.
Comfort food or sweet misery? How sugar controls your mood and how to get it out of your diet
- why sugar is so harmful to our mood, where it hides in the diet and how to get it out
- why protein is so important and why we shouldn’t be afraid of fat
- the challenges of gluten, soy, and other food toxins
- other important aspects of real whole food eating
Here is some great gems from my interview with Margaret
a little sugary treat puts your body into an emergency
historically sugar was very scarce in our diets, and so our bodies are not adapted to having lots of it
a blood sugar crash is actually as much of a state of emergency for your body as running from that wooly mammoth
I highly recommend Margaret’s books:
Eat Naked: Unprocessed, Unpolluted, and Undressed Eating for a Healthier, Sexier You published by New Harbinger Publications in 2011. Here is my book review of Eat Naked.
She is also the coauthor with Chef James Barry of the follow-up cookbook, The Naked Foods Cookbook: The Whole-Foods, Healthy-Fats, Gluten-Free Guide to Losing Weight and Feeling Great
