About this episode

The episode discusses five reasons why people constantly think about food and offers practical tips to manage these thoughts.

Do you think about food almost all day — what you ate, what you shouldn't have, what you really want, how to finally fix it? I didn't realize how much space food was taking up in my brain until I started to get a handle on it. In this episode I walk through five reasons your brain won't stop thinking about food — and a couple of them you've probably never heard before — plus the practical things that actually quieted it down for me, including one slightly ridiculous trick that worked. If you're tired of food running in the background of every quiet moment, this one's for you.
