Kevin: Thank you. Well, for those of you who have never heard of Jonny Bowden, why not just give us a little quick summary, then go right into the meat of this call and questions.

Jonny: Well, I am a nutritionist Board certified. I have a master's degree in psychology. I was a personal trainer for 10 years and I have six certifications in personal training and I try to combine motivational speaking with clinical nutrition and fitness and health fair for the transformation of the world and the planet and people's health and personal power.

Kevin: Wow. So let's get right into it. I sense a theme of the questions we have received and I had the chance to look at them, so to turn things around very specific. We eat emotionally and the other is a sugar cravings and I have feel they are somewhat connected, but I'll talk about that. So let us start with emotional eating. How can someone overcome such emotional hoarding food, no matter what it is?

Jonny: Well, it's certainly something that we can move a whole hour, but let me give you a small piece of it as I approached. I did a program a while ago, that was really very well on my website called the Diet Boot Camp Program. It's four CDs and a manual and it is the text that we use in our private coaching program. It is a kind man, but it is a version at home that you can do without the training program and everyone speaks with a food diary to keep records of what you eat, so you can kind of feedback to monitor food and calories and is responsible to himself. In Program Plan Boot Camp, I particularly loved the food journal questions about what you just asked. What I feel when I eat this? Am I really hungry or something else happens? How do I connect the dots between the triggers for eating and my behavior Food? Because I think the answer to your question is really about how we connect the points? How can we identify what triggers Often unconsciously, and often without even noticing. They happen so fast.

What indices react to behaviors that trigger eating, because until we can make this link, we can not break the link. So what we seek is a circuit breaker. We are seeking a way - If you know those Christmas lights that you have that you put in a Christmas tree. When they have all kind of chained together and there is a small circuit that has broken Here, then all the rest beyond the lights do not light. That's what we do with some of our most addictive behaviors, whether eating behaviors or drug behaviors, whatever we're addicted to and here we talk about sugar and cravings and emotional eating.

So we tend to and I have been a cigarette smoker, for example. Some subjects are up. Some producers of anxiety subjects were scheduled to arrive in the conversation. You automatically go to the pack. So what I'm talking about food book Camp is a fault in the link. You are research, through conduct that began with an emotion of fear or anger. In the 12-step program they talk not too angry or too tired or too thirsty or too hungry or too lonely. There are these triggers and what we are looking for is what is the relationship of behavior that ends with us eating some something that does not support our health and our way of breaking this link. How can we put a little circuit breaker that the link lights and I think it the key to getting control of the emotional power.

Kevin: When someone is something thirsty it is too late? Is this groundwork should be laid before?

Jonny is a great question and let me give you the short answer. Obviously, if you can nip before it happens, it's the same thing with cigarettes and everything else. If you can stop cravings before they you overcome and there are things you can do. There are things you can do to modulate, eg, blood sugar, because the drop in blood sugar is an important clue for the munchies. There are things you can do to not get too angry or too hungry and there are things you can do to begin molecules going to your brain, saying this guy is not that hungry. We can manage. So there are many things you can do in advance of cravings. Once you understand what the triggers are, there are things you can do.

My ex-girlfriend was a heavy smoker and she knew that there was certain routes in the car, driving home from rehearsal, certain times that were triggers for her, so she learned to not to particular things and find alternative ways to return home to find different times of arrival of different people Travel with, if there are ways that you can kind of anticipate before the need happens. You can do either with modulating blood sugar or taking supplements I speak in natural cures most efficient on Earth, like glutamine and things like that, but once an urge hits there are still things you can do to cut the circuit. It's a little harder than not having a need first, but sometimes cravings just hit us. So what we have to do is to find behaviors alternative or just find a way to get, as I said, a flaw in the link may be a problem between desire and action.

Many of us feel a craving and immediately satisfying, and sometimes if you can just train your brain to make a five minutes, between, like maybe make a deal with you and you say ok, I'll delete this food or have a cigarette or anything that you do not want to be capable of doing. I'm going to be able to do so and make a deal with me, but I'll wait five minutes. I'll just walk around the block first. It's a bit like when you're really angry and you take 10 deep breaths. You do exactly what treat yourself to this little bit of distance when you know some tips on what you can do in this short distance you'd be surprised. The cravings pass within 15 minutes. It has been documented. It No doubt. If you can survive it, you can beat him.

So there are things you can do and what is not always too late once the thirst starts, but obviously the best solution is to try to anticipate what might trigger those cravings in the first place, and maybe their heads neck before being victimized by them.

Kevin: Yes, because it's difficult when you have a piece of cake or it A whole variety of people in this appeal. People who are into raw foods to people who just want to lose weight. It's a challenge when you that thing in your hand and it is within your reach. Is this another type of trigger for each person, as a different kind of technical stop? Why do not you give an example of what you use to smoke? What was your technique to stop?

Jonny: I wrapped the cigarettes and paper and put a rubber band around the pack. I unpacked cigarettes. I have to write on paper now the day. I rank from one to 10 and I should wait five minutes, and even go out of the room and do it elsewhere.

Kevin: Wow.

Jonny: After a moment, if you put enough measures to stop these little gap, five minutes, 10 minutes, you have to wrap it, you must write and having to leave the room. If you do it quite embarrassing when you start to break the habit it becomes easier and easier. For some people, I'll have dessert, I'll have a hot bath first. I'll read 10 pages of The Wall Street Journal or my favorite novel. I'll wait and watch 15 minutes of the news and then I'll have. You can catch them. They may be different for different people. I'll walk around the block. I'll do 10 push-ups. You'd be surprised how many things you can put there just to jam the works. What you try to do is to deconstruct this automaticness that the knee-jerk reaction and once you can do once you get in a corner it as a wedge issue. Once you get in a corner is like untying a knot on your shoelace when it's really tight. A Once you can loosen a little the rest of this kind of unravels much easier.

Kevin: What a great 10 one-minute explanation on food cravings and sugar and everything. I think that kind of covers it. Here are some tips incredible.
