This podcast deals with bread and for many of you reading this, you will readily identify how bread has been a major issue when it comes to losing weight.
There is huge choice when it comes to bread and it’s not surprising that there is so much confusion as to:
– which is the right bread to eat?
– which is the healthiest bread to eat?
– which is the highest in fats, sugars, etc?
It’s a minefield and we need to be especially vigilant in looking closer at the labels and the ingredients.
Maebh explores how bread, for her, was and is a trigger food (check out her blog on bread as a trigger food). She observes how people around her could have one or two slices but that she wouldn’t. She’d keep eating and afterwards, would feel incredibly bloated and wouldn’t feel well. And this experience around bread would repeat itself again and again.
Today, Maebh weight is much more manageable, in no small part to the fact that bread plans a much smaller role in her life.
Maebh explains the science that part explains our love affair with bread. Bread activates the brain’s appetite reard and appetite pathways – this is in marked contracts to protein based foods.
With bread, it feels good so you want more to get the same effect / hit. Insulin will spike and then your blood sugar levels crash.
Everyone is different and for some their trigger is sugar, for many other including Maebh, it’s bread.
A key piece of advice from Maebh is to say no to the bread basket. When you rationalise it – eating bread before a meal is just a (bad) habit. Why would you fill yourself up and not leave room for the main course.

For this month’s podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Caroline, a client of our Swords Clinic and a wonderful example of how a positive mental attitude can benefit us, regardless of how difficult our situation is.Caroline had breast cancer in 2018 and went through a challenging time. She began gaining weight as a result of two operations, rigorous chemotherapy and radiation, and the treatment with medication.Do you think this prevented Caroline from having a proactive and optimistic attitude? Absolutely not! Caroline is a fighter and her journey will inspire you to beat whatever obstacles you may experience. Speaking with Caroline made me realize that when we’re going through a difficult moment, negative thoughts are all we can see and we often neglect our own wellbeing, while in fact, being active and optimistic may help us clear our brains and keep going.I hope you enjoy my chat with Caroline! Her story has truly inspired me, and I am sure she will inspire you too.
What an emotional story we have for you in the latest podcast. Elaine, who did an incredible job losing 3 stone, 4 pounds. She was close to having to get a hip replacement, facing serious surgery she instead decided to take control of her eating, once and for all. Focusing not on what she was eating, but why she was eating. She improved her health to the point where she has been able to come off medication and doesn’t need to have the surgery anymore. It is people like Elaine that make what we do worthwhile and we think you will agree that her story is an emotional rollercoaster that just grabs you.
