In this FAQ video (taken from episode 112 of the podcast, I resume my series exploring our relationship with food and in particular the social aspect of food, eating and sharing eating (and drinking) experiences with others. I dive into the various aspects of how food and social relationships can play into a propensity to over eat and drink over time and suggest some practical ways to approach this when looking to manage or reduce our weight.

n part 1, I introduced the question 'what is your relationship with food (and drink) like? And in part 2 I explored the importance of food for us in physical terms. I had one of those 'slap your forehead moments over the weekend as I realised I missed a key element of the role of food in supporting us physically.

I already owe Rosie two big bars of Dairy Milk and a packet of Buttons! How's anyone supposed to stay on track with the healthier eating too?
Sprout-sized food for thought:
This has prompted my thinking to drift to questions that I regularly receive from listeners and clients, and in particular those around the question of what to focus on - Diet or Exercise. In this FAQ, I share how I define the key terms and clarify what we mean by 'movement,' 'activity,' 'exercise,' and 'diet' before answering the big question.

I've been thinking this week about binge eating, especially since Easter is almost upon us and that signals Chocolate Eggs of all varieties, my favourite being the Cadbury's Dairy Milk Buttons Egg. What's yours? It's interesting how the commercialisation of this weekend leads many of us to think of chocolate before the real meaning behind Easter isn't it?
