Eating Less: Say Goodbye to Overeating (Positive Health)

I also did a video podcast episode with Gillian Riley ( Episode 64: Stop Yo-Yo Dieting and Take Control of Overeating) where we discussed many topics related to developing a healthy relationship with food:

Maybe it’s not that fasting isn’t a good idea, but that there are other important steps for you to take first. To return to my cautions:

Profile

The course content is entirely focused on sustaining changes in the longer term. It’s not enough to lose weight. What matters is bringing a new attitude to eating less. The Scotiabank Women Initiative is based on three pillars, says Gillian. First, Scotiabank helps women get access to the capital they need. A team of adjudicators specially trained in unconscious bias handles credit applications received through The Scotiabank Women Initiative, and Scotiabank recently announced a partnership with Disruption Ventures, Canada’s first private female-founded venture fund for women. Secondly, an advisory board from the bank provides mentorship to women entrepreneurs by way of one-on-one and small group sessions. The third pillar provides workshops dubbed Un-Mentorships Boot Camps™ — half-day sessions to bust myths around entrepreneurship and help women develop the skills and knowledge to grow their businesses. “It’s about looking at things in new ways, whether it be around compliance or finance or technology,” she says. You’ll discover how to eat less without dieting, without feeling restricted and deprived, without becoming obsessed and rebellious – and without falling off the wagon! You won’t be told to wait until hungry before you eat and to stop when you’re full, because a good amount of research shows these signals are unreliable. You’ll need an alternative; one that’s flexible and one that suits your schedule.

As a mutual organization, Nationwide Building Society uses its unique position to help build a society by making a positive difference in the lives of its members and the communities in which they live. It is why Nationwide still values a branch network, supports communities through charitable grants, and places a premium on helping people thrive financially – whether helping them into a home of their own or giving them the financial support they need. Taking a stand and making a difference is what sets Nationwide apart. None of which would be possible without the dedicated service of its 18,000 employees. It seems that fasting has become the new standard of dieting, and also a central focus of the health community as well. Like most diets, it’s presented as the answer (or at least a partial solution) to many health and weight issues, and even as a potential solution for binge eating. I’m sure you know more than one person in your life who is on a fasting-type diet. I also know that fasting can be portrayed as “not a diet at all,” but as a lifestyle and way of eating that’s “more in line with how our bodies are designed.” These are complex issues, and although I would not make an overarching statement that binge eaters or recovered binge eaters can never fast under any circumstances, I think there are many compelling reasons not to. Dietary and physical activity adaptations to alternate day modified fasting: implications for optimal weight loss.” Klempel MC, Bhutani S et al (2010) Nutrition Journal 9:35 Six months later I’d written the first half of the book, but still had no contract from my editor. When I pressed her, she said they’d decided not to publish, giving me no reason at all. I was furious but too far into it to stop, much too excited about what I was discovering through the process of writing. So, I did finish it and I self-published. Gillian Riley is a force in the championship of women’s advancement in business and in the community. A much-admired leader, she is a key driver for the representation, advancement, and inclusion of women at all levels within Scotiabank, Tangerine Bank, and in communities across Canada. Her intentional focus to drive both awareness and change through action and thoughtful dialogue has had a profound impact.It really tests your leadership to be able to go into a new environment and figure out how to lead without knowing everything, and how to ask for help,” she says. “You learn how to ask the right questions and be curious and how to be impactful without knowing every single detail.” There’s also a networking component to help women in business connect with both potential mentors and fellow entrepreneurs. “We all want someone to share our thoughts with and to bounce ideas off of,” Gillian says. “Sometimes it’s issues like how to manage finance, how to manage HR issues, or how to get better work/life balance.” It’s not a good idea to fast if you are not in the best of health, if you’re coming down with an illness or recovering from one, or if you suffer from a condition such as diabetes or hypoglycemia. It’s not a good idea to fast if you are desperate to lose weight, or if you have a history of anorexia or bulimia. In her role at Tangerine, which was acquired by Scotiabank from ING Group in 2012, Gillian is now leading the charge in growing the bank’s customer base. She’s also spearheading an initiative to help women-led businesses in Canada thrive and grow, as executive sponsor of The Scotiabank Women Initiative.
