Today’s topic is Mindless Eating: Willpower vs Environment.

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

You may also listen on iTunes, or Stitcher.

What fun meeting Brian in person at the American Association of Diabetes Educators conference in Indianapolis in 2012

Today my guest is Brian Wansink, PhD and author of Slim by Design and Mindless Eating and Director of the Cornell University Food & Brand Lab.

Did you know we make over 200 food decisions every day? We are ALL mindless eaters. Maybe you’re familiar with Dr. Wansink’s food lab experiments like the endless soup bowl, or the movie theater popcorn, or the many other fun research studies he’s done to examine why and how we all make food decisions.
Willpower doesn’t work! It’s easier to change your environment than to change your mind!

 

On this episode we discuss:

  1. The way our homes, schools, restaurants, workplaces, and grocery stores are set up predictably lead us to pick up cookies rather than apples. But just as they’ve evolved to make us overeat, we can easily redesign them to make us slim.
  2. To slim down via willpower is hard. Slim by Design is easy! Use the resources available and make this a movement!
  3. For every place we purchase or prepare food – homes and schools, restaurants and grocery stores – there are slim by design solutions.

  1. Here are the resources we discussed on today’s show:

  2. Smarterlunchrooms.org

    Great interview with Brian! I love his studies. I used so many of them in my work with Woman’s World Magazine. They were perfect for that!

"Diabetes is part of my life, but it doesn’t rule my life. Low calorie sweeteners are one of the tools that help me manage my diabetes along with stress management, daily movement that’s fun for me, the fact that I enjoy cooking, and very supportive family and friends."– Amy Myrdal Miller - dietitian, culinary expert and person with Type 1 diabetes for 40 years.
Added sugars are a source of carbohydrate in the diet. Using low- and no-calorie sweeteners in place of sugar is a safe and easy way to reduce carbohydrate intake. But, not all sweeteners are created the same.
Tune in to my latest podcast episode and you'll hear Amy's story of her T1D diagnosis at the age of 7 and living well with diabetes for 40 years. We also discuss the research on sweetener safety, the “study of the day” and practical tips for using sweeteners in beverages, in cooking and in baking.
"Low calorie sweeteners provide options for people with diabetes. Do you have to use them? No. But doing so gives you the opportunity to ‘spend your carbohydrates’ in other ways.” – Amy Myrdal Miller

Roses are wonderful! They are beautiful, fragrant and romantic. But I don’t want any for Valentine’s Day this year. And here's why:

This year marks the 4th annual Diabetes Podcast Week, and in honor of this, my Sound Bites Podcast is joining efforts to help people in the diabetes community find some great podcasts and learn about a terrific charity and a campaign called Spare a Rose, Save a Child.

The idea behind the campaign is simple: buy one less rose this Valentine’s Day and donate the value of that flower to children with diabetes. Donations go to Life for a Child, an International Diabetes Federation program which provides life-saving diabetes supplies, medication, and education that children in developing countries need to stay alive.

During the week of February 10th, participating shows will include information about the campaign and you’ll also hear some cross promotion while the hosts work to spread the good word about podcasts using the hashtag #DPodcastWeek.
For the first time, D-Podcast Week includes a Spanish-language podcast and one hosted by diabetes dads. The list also includes shows about sports, nutrition, general news and lots of great personal stories for people with diabetes.
