The most common recommendation to people with diabetes is to lose weight to lower their A1C. Countless patients walk out of their doctor’s office with a prescription for weight loss. However, research shows that the most efficient path to managing your diabetes and lowering your A1C is to stop pursuing weight loss and instead focus on habits, behaviors and the variables that impact your blood sugar.

My special guest is Bonnie R. Giller, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with over 35 years’ experience in nutrition therapy and counseling. She helps people with diabetes manage their blood sugars after a lifetime of dieting to guide them to a place of eating for enjoyment, abundance, and health.

We discuss:

· How to lower your A1C without focusing on weight loss.

· 3 biggest myths about managing diabetes.

· How to enjoy eating carbs without guilt.

The holiday season is officially upon us. This is the season where we are encouraged to “eat, drink and be merry.” However, if you've struggled with dieting and body image, it’s natural for this time of year to feel extra challenging because FOOD IS EVERYWHERE. We’re also bombarded with chatter about how many calories are in our favorite holiday treats and how many miles we have to run to earn that holiday dinner.

In this episode I am sharing 7 strategies to help you navigate the holiday season so you can feel empowered and capable of navigating the holidays from an Intuitive Eating perspective. You deserve to enjoy the season, the food and parties, without the stress, without yo-yoing between overindulging and restricting, and without feeling out of control over the next several weeks before vowing to get back on track and start a new diet on January 1st.

Listen now and learn how to have a holiday season where:

• You can enjoy all of the food you truly want.
• You eat according to how your body feels.
• You feel prepared to deal with uncomfortable comments about weight, food, and diets.
• And where you don’t have to dread getting “back on the wagon” again come January 1st.
