BITESIZE | Why You Can’t Stop Eating Ultra-Processed Foods (And What To Do Instead) | Dr Rupy Aujla #630

Today's bite sized episode is sponsored by The Way. I have tried so many meditation apps over the years, but I've never come across one as good or as effective as The Way. I find it a fantastic way to start off each day, and it has really helped me feel calmer, relaxed, and more present. In fact, I love this app so much that I recently decided to invest in the company and join them in their mission to get more people meditating. Meditation has been shown to have all kinds of benefits, reducing stress, increasing calm, improving focus, and over time, has even been shown to result in positive structural changes in the brain in areas linked to memory, focus, and emotional regulation.

The Way are offering my podcast listeners an incredible 30 free meditation sessions to get you started with your practice.

So if someone's listening, Rupi, and they're like, what on earth should I do then? Yeah. You shared some of the science with me in terms of what it says about how one technically loses weight. But you mentioned that's in real world. That's the key thing, isn't it? There's there's what the science shows. There's what we can control in people in a laboratory setting. But what actually happens in real life? Yeah. Busy people with busy lives faced with constant temptation. What do you suggest they do? So I think there are strategies that as a side effect, like you suggested earlier, will put you into a a mild calorie deficit. But importantly, ensuring that you don't have to think about it. And you're also creating something that is sustainable, that you can maintain consistency around. So instead of you, like like, pushing yourself to maintain calorie deficits, which I think are just inherently very, very hard, these practices, I think, will make it super simple such that you don't really have to think about, okay, I need to restrict myself by not eating that. And possibly more enjoyable. A 100%. Before we get to those food practice that you recommend, I …
