Soaring male obesity rates highlight need to tackle those tummies Lifestyle change is the best strategy to help men win their battle of the bulge Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commonly viewed as an exclusively female concern, but as male obesity rates soar, diet and healthy weight loss is becoming just as big an issue for men.

the shops, using stairs rather than lifts or getting off the bus one stop early are all good ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine.

The trend is underlined by a recently completed 20-year study from the Irish Universities Nutrition Alliance (IUNA), which found that the number of Irish men classified as obese rose to 26% in 2010, compared to just 8% in 1990. Given the higher incidence of diabetes, heart disease and other weight related illnesses among obese men, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worrying trend.

4. Drink water: Two medium sized glasses of water with each meal will hydrate your body and help you lose weight. A study reported in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that a group of obese dieters who drank two cups of water before each meal lost five pounds more than a group of dieters who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alarmed if you are in this category though. By changing the attitudes and behaviour at the root of your eating habits, you will find it a lot easier to implement an effective weight loss diet that will soon get you down to a healthy weight.

In the second of two articles about male weight loss, we asked weight loss expert of Motivation Weight Management, Grace Fields for some tips. Her tips are as follows:

Rosti Potatoes Granary style This Potato dish has always been a ďŹ rm favourite with Granary regulars. It is very simple to prepare, looks great and is nutritious.

For four servings you will need: z four large raw peeled potatoes z four sticks of celery z one small broccoli head z one large onion z two carrots z salt and freshly ground pepper z two eggs z half a cup of for ďŹ&#x201A;our z fresh parsley METHOD Grate the potato into a large bowl.Chop the onion, carrot,celery and broccoli into very small pieces.

Combine with the

potatoes, then add the two raw eggs and corn ďŹ&#x201A;our which will bind together all of the ingredients. Finally season the mix to taste Heat a little oil in a frying pan, add a generous scoop of the potato mix to the pan and ďŹ&#x201A;atten out a little (you may ďŹ t two at a time if your pan is big enough) and cook on a medium to high heat for about two minutes or until golden brown on both sides

Using a knife take a small piece from the centre of a rosti to check if it is fully cooked. If it needs a little moe cooking time the ďŹ nish it off in a hot oven for about ďŹ ve minutes.

Now this is when you can truly transform this humble vegetable into something special indeed. Try a slice of goat cheese on top before placing in the oven or goat cheese with some Parma ham that will make a supper ďŹ t for a king.

Business of the week Genesis Clinic Genesis Clinic, located in Ballybricken, is the South-East’s largest and only full-time Aesthetic and Laser Clinic, it offers a professional and high quality service that is the best of its kind in Waterford.

The mastermind behind the clinic is Doctor Tracy Godfey-Glynn, a highly

respected doctor whose passion and innovative approach to her field of work is refreshingly rare these days. She has trained many others in the field and opened the clinic in 2004, since then it has only gone from strength to strength. I highly recommend the Genesis Clinic to all.

Hotel of the week Woodlands Hotel Woodlands Hotel is an escape, located in a quiet corner of the city the hotel’s greatest strengths are in its spacious, idyllic room, its airy atmosphere and its unparalleled staff that makes it without comparison for hotels in Waterford.

Every want you could have is accommodated in Woodlands, the staff will pre-empt any request you

could have and go above and beyond what is required to make sure you have the best time possible.

The leisure centre of Woodlands is another highlight; from saunas to an excellent pool to a Yoga studio. I couldn’t think of a better place to wed, meet or just stay a night: I highly recommend Woodlands Hotel.

Game of the week FTL: Faster than Light FTL is a new Roguelike game (literally meaning like the game ‘Rogue’ from 1980) that has recently received a huge, free update; giving the game dozens of hours more content.

The game tasks you with choosing a spaceship and travelling from one side of this galaxy to another to

deliver an urgent message to the Federation (the story isn’t important to be honest). You are given an isometric view of your ship and multiple sections to monitor (engines, guns, shields etc) that can be upgraded, you can build your ship to be however you want by the end. You fight other ships

using guns, mind control, hacking and even boarding where you send your crew members in to eliminate theirs.

The game is highly randomized, every time you play (and you will probably play it at least

50-200 times) you can get extremely lucky and receive incredibly powerful weapons and tech in Sector 1 or be unlucky and get blown up just as fast. It’s a highly fun and addictive game and one I recommend.

Salon of the week Carbon Beauty Carbon Beauty is a unisex beauty salon located on Parnell Street that specialises in beauty and therapy treatments, it’s one of the best places for it in the city.

The staff are highly trained in the art of beauty

and manage to perfectly blend the friendliness of talking to a dear friend with the professionalism

Book of the week The Undertaking The Undertaking is the debut novel by Irish author Audrey Magee that came out in February. It is a love story, set in Germany during World War 2 that commences when two people who haven’t met marry each other.

The man is in Russia and is desperate to get away, he marries for the guaranteed ten days of Honeymoon

leave, the woman wants a widow’s pension; it’s a mutually beneficial agreement.

Problems arise though, when the two genuinely fall for each other after meeting, now Peter must join the German army to a guaranteed victory in Stalingrad and he can go back to his wife, it doesn’t end well. It’s a good read, I recommend it.

of a trained expert.

A trip to Carbon Beauty will never make you feel out of place and no one

will try to distort how you look, here it is about accentuating your own personal beauty.

Carbon Beauty also offers the latest of treatments and services that will constantly have you ahead of the curve; I highly recommend Carbon Beauty.

Activity of the week Crystal Sports & Leisure facilities for fitness and leisure are superb at Crystal, but the business also facilitates meetings and functions with rooms for each and a bar.

Crystal Sports & Leisure also caters for children’s parties, weddings, funerals and meetings; there is much on offer here and I highly recommend Crystal Sports & Leisure Centre.

Located on the Cork Road, Crystal Sports & Leisure Centre is a new gym that offers every service and facility you could have need of to create an excellent and modern gym experience and easily competes with some of the county’s best.

From the gym to the swimming pool to an aerobics room and steam room the

Bar of the Week Shortt’s Located on John Street, Shortt’s Bar is a great location in the city for a night out, featuring both an excellent bar with great gigs and the additional Crystal Niteclub that regularly features some of the best DJ’s in the city.

The bar is recently refurbished and is one

Album of the week DJ Rashad- Double Cup Last weekend saw the tragic news that Chicago electronic musician DJ Rashad had died, he was 34.

He had become famous in the last few years for his work in Footwork, a genre of high BPM dance music that uses distorted vocal samples and hypnotic repetition, it had gained mass traction in the UK over the last few years.

This can partly explain why Rashad was signed to the London

It’s a tragedy that Rashad is dead but people can rest assured that he left something behind that perfectly encapsulates his work up to that point.

Car Dealer of the week Motor Sense Motor Sense is a used car dealership located at New Rath that has become one of the best places in the county to buy used cars.

There is no gimmick to Motor Sense, they simply do the job to the best of their ability and offer a service unparalleled by any other dealership right now. Motor Sense

Restaurant of the Week Sheehan’s Previously known as Kafe Karma, Sheehan’s is an excellent restaurant and one of the best in Waterford city.

It specialises in more of a local feel; steaks, fish (particularly their haddock) and casseroles are all prepared and cooked to an extremely high quality here and served by the endlessly

friendly and attentive staff.

The variety on the menu is superb so you will never be at a loss for what to have and the pricing is extremely reasonable, shockingly so given the quality of the dishes.

The restaurant is located on the Quay, I highly recommend a trip to Sheehan’s.

of the best places for a cocktail in the city and the staff will always accommodate you perfectly, it’s a warm and welcoming place.

One highlight for gigs in the future is post-rock band And So I Watch From Afar who will be playing on the 16th May.

don’t try to swindle you or make you buy things you don’t want, they bring an excellent warranty service to the table, free auto recovery wherever you may be, and fully serviced cars with NTC before purchase, with check-ups as little at €50.

I highly recommend Motor Sense for anyone in the market for used cars.

Charming, elegant, stylish, romantic and merger-making Libra Your ruling planet is Venus, your best day of the week is Friday and your colours are gentle hues of blues, pinks and violets. Plutoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage through Capricorn until 2024 is shaking your very foundations.

Mesmerising, insightful, determined, resourceful and focused Scorpio Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto, your best day of the week is Tuesday and your colours deep, deep red and black. Saturn is moving through your sign until late 2014. View this as a long period of self-investment.

True, you may need to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;throw a wobblyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, you might also have reason to doubt the integrity of someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professing passion for a job but whom you feel is not up to the task in hand. A major problem here is that you may need to take on more responsibility if a calamity is to be averted.

A roughly decade-long cycle begins again this week. Thirst for learning and for adventure will surely increase. This could be driven by financial need: awareness that if you improve your knowledge base you could command greater earnings.

Quirky, determined, logical, eccentric and freedom-loving Aquarius. Your ruling planets are Saturn and Uranus. Your best day of the week is Saturday and your best colours are electric or deep, rich blue and anything metallic. Saturn is passing through another of the Fixed signs, Scorpio until late 2014.

Intuitive, sensitive, big-picture thinking, kind and thoughtful Pisces. Your ruling planets are Jupiter and Neptune. Your best day of the week is Thursday and your best colours are those of the sea: blue, green, lavender and silver. Slow moving Neptune is in your sign through to 2024.

â&#x20AC;˘ Max Casey takes a look at the best of music, ďŹ lm and literature â&#x20AC;˘

),/0

$ 6SDFH 2G\VVH\ 3W , Most people see ďŹ lms as literature brought to life onto a screen but I prefer to think of them as a subsection of visual arts, an experience that should emphasis visuals and aesthetics over ideas and storytelling.

When 2001 was released in the Spring of 1968 it had one of the most polarizing critical receptions ever seen in ďŹ lm making, with some praising its atmosphere, aesthetic and philosophy while others derided it for being boring, overblown or unimaginative (a criticism

I struggle to understand). The ďŹ lm is separated into three parts; Part one called The Dawn of Man features a group of monkeys drinking at a watering hole and eating grass until a strange black obelisk arrives.

The object seemingly does nothing but the monkeys soon learn to use tools and almost instantly we see the beginnings of class warfare.

From here we move to millions of years in the future when an obelisk has been discovered on the moon. Scientists look at the obelisk, go

to take a picture and ďŹ nd themselves being tortured by a high pitch screech.

Fast forward again eighteen months and a group of astronauts are heading for Jupiter, a location somehow derived from the marker, this is the second part of the ďŹ lm. The astronauts come into conďŹ&#x201A;ict with the AI HAL and learn the true reason why they are going to Jupiter; the third part then starts when our main character travels through a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;star gateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say anything about that.

This plot summary is the most basic that I could give, the ďŹ lm deserves to be experienced and just recounting the plot cannot give the ďŹ lm justice. The ďŹ lmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall meaning is also so open to interpretation that I choose not to discuss it for fear of diluting your own view of what this ďŹ lm was about. But what makes 2001: A Space Odyssey a great ďŹ lm is not the story or the overall message but the simple experience of viewing it and taking it in. Next week: things I can actually discuss without ruining the ďŹ lm.

Junky. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about as straightforward a title as you could hope for. Of the three most famous beat writers: Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac; Burroughs was certainly the strangest. A few years older than the rest and outliving both somehow, he was the most experimental, most travelled and had probably the hardest life (Though he was always humorous even when it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obvious).

He ends this novel leaving Mexico City with plans to travel further South in search of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a drug that purportedly grants telepathy to the user.

Junky is his debut novel and it tells the story of Burroughs from the time he discovered the drug heroin in the mid 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s until his departure on a strange South American Odyssey (somewhat given detail in The Yage Letters).

During this time he steals, assaults people, goes to jail, moves country and is constantly kicking and relapsing on the drug. The story starts in New York and thanks to his wealthy parents Burroughs is receiving $50 a month from a

The work of Can in many ways can be seen as a continuation of what the Velvet Underground started in the 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when they melded avant-garde and pop music together but Can went much further with the idea.

They were a German band, and one of the most important and inďŹ&#x201A;uential in the Krautrock genre that would grow in prestige and fame constantly as time passed.

Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irmin Schmidt, a student of early electronic musician Karlheinz Stockhausen was initially interested in the Avant Garde minimalist movement of the 60s that also housed La Monte Young and Steve Reich; but upon a visit to New York City he made in 1966 he became infatuated with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Underground.

Andy Warhol, Hotel Chelsea and The Velvet Underground all made huge impressions on him, and shifted completely the music he would end up making.

Between 1971 and 1973 the band released a trilogy of albums that went on to all be considered their best work and some of the

trust fund. We begin innocently enough with Burroughs holding onto a few shots of the drug for a friend, but in no time at all the moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough and he is stealing from people in the subway to support his habit.

What makes this novel so special is how it is written.

Unlike Burroughsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more famous work, Naked Lunch, Junkie is not trying to capture the mindscape of the junky, simply describe his experiences with the drug in as matter a fact a way as possible.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want you to take

drugs but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t condemn them either, it really is just his story, whether you like it or not itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just there. Burroughs travels to many different locations throughout the novel, starting in New York he eventually moves to New Orleans, then Texas and ďŹ nally Mexico City but his location is always just a background detail for him, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always about heroin.

Junky is one of the most fascinating and unique novels of all time and is a perfect introduction to the bizarre world of William S. Burroughs.

most important albums of the era: Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, and Future Days. Today it is the middle album being covered; I would consider Tago Mago to be an album that melds the New York underground with minimalism and electronic instrumentation but Ege Bamyasi takes the latter two and couples them with funk, R&B and jazz.

Most of the songs have strong, monochromatic grooves to them that are immeasurably pared back.

The band seem to take what

was in many ways dance music at the time and make it clinical and formalist; like a melding of Kraftwerk and Funkadelic. Many of the songs make great use of repetition, such as the opener Pinch that has spartan instrumentation (drums, some guitar and a few other things) and vocalist Damo Suzuki improvising in a dozen different languages over everything for almost ten minutes. It resembles a jazz song in many ways with singing (or spoken word) taking the place of an instrument.

The songs are more pop inďŹ&#x201A;uenced than on Tago Mago, album closer Spoon even charted in Germany, selling 300,000 copies in the country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s testament to the fact that being experimental and daring doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you have to make a boring or tedious album; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult is keeping it bold and daring while also making it simple. Ege Bamyasi takes funk, jazz and R&B and decontextualizes them, turning them into something wholly different; it is one of the best albums ever made.

Voces 8: Christ Church Cathedral The Event to go to today is the Voces 8 Vocal Ensemble at the Christ Church Cathedral. This multi award winning Vocal group has travelled around the world to great reception.

The Inca effect: Aoifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe and Gallery Emma Campbell is an internationally acclaimed artist who is presenting her first solo exhibition in Waterford. Her work is truly unique and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it will even capture the eye of people who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generally interested in art.

Elvis tribute artist: Dooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel Liam Murphy is the award winning Elvis tribute artist and from what i have heard it really does feel like you are back in the swinging sixties. Dooleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hotel have a deal where you can have a 4 course meal while listening to him.

The little Mermaid: The Theatre Royal This is the unique retelling of the classic Hans Christian Andersenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story the Little Mermaid. We all know the story and how amazing it is, now you get to see it recreated in one of the most beautiful forms of expressive art, Ballet.

The Bible: The complete word of God: Garter Lane This is a hilarious theatre production which attempts to answer the most common questions from the Bible (not really). This production was nearly censored but here it is in full, it is not detrimental towards religion but merely tickles your funny bone.

The Other Woman: The Odeon The film Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m recommending this week is a little unorthodox and it will not appeal to everyone but â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Other Womanâ&#x20AC;? is actually really funny, it stars Cameron Diaz who discovers her boyfriend is already married.

The Bunny Collective: Soma Contemporary Art Gallery This Art exhibition explores how young Women exist online through a large variety of media including photography and video.

This exhibition will also explore how female identity has changed through the internet.

%OXH 5XLQ Revenge can be a dirty, dark business. No act ever taken in the name of vengeance is without some kind of aftereffect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; usually serving as only an escalation of the act that preceded it. Revenge can be an unholy toxin that poisons everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and director Jeremy Saulnierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new ďŹ lm Blue Ruin understands that better than most.

Based on an original script by Saulnier, Blue Ruin begins following an aimless, disheveled drifter named Dwight (Macon Blair) who has lived on the outskirts of society ever since his parents were murdered years before. His life ďŹ nds purpose, however, when he learns that the man held responsible for the crime is being released from prison early. Bloodthirsty for redemption, Dwight makes a plan to kill the man who took everything away from him, and must deal with the critical and dangerous consequences that action leads him towards. $V HYLGHQFHG E\ WKH WLJKW

onticelli Coffee was created by Mark and Stephen Bergin in 2009 after many years of importing and wholesaling foreign brands.

With Consumers demanding a better offering for quality Italian style coffee, we went to a coffee roaster and created our own blends under our registered Brand Name Ponticelli.

With demand growing and through the help of our local Enterprise Board, we invested in our own roasting plant and became the only coffee roasters in the South East of Ireland. We roast only the finest quality Arabica Coffee Beans right here in Waterford every day, producing the freshest Artisan Coffee in the South east. With a wide variety of blends and roast profiles available we can now cater for every coffee palate.

Our Coffee’s As the only Coffee roaster in the South east, we can create a coffee for every palate, with our most popular blends Being our Cafe Creme, and Cafe Espresso which uses Arabica coffee beans from South and Central America. Among our other blends are our Cafe Superiore, Cafe Verde, and our brand new Five Bean Blend, all of which are created using Beans from Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala. We also import and roast coffee’s from Rwanda, Ethiopia, Malawi and Uganda, and our new blends Cafe Roma, and Cafe Milano.

Deise Collection Being a proud Waterford, Family owned and run company we wanted to create some coffee’s to tie to our own heritage and local area, so in 2012 with the Support of Ardkeen Quality Foodstore we launched our Deise Collection of Coffee’s, and our ‘Viking Roast’, and ‘Ballybricken Blend’

is still exclusively available through their store on the Dunmore Road.

The Food Academy Start Program, through our local Enterprise Office, and in conjunction with Musgraves, Bord Bia, and Marla Communications was an excellent platform for us to launch our product to the wider retail trade, and Mark found the program to be very insightful and practical in educating small food companies in how to progress their products to the supermarket shelf.

Our retail packs of Gourmet blend and Continental Blend, are available in both Freshground and Wholebean form, and will be available exclusively through your local Supervalu, in the coming weeks.”

I am pictured above (centre) with Thomas Caulfield form Caulfield’s Supervalu and Ciaran Cullen from the local enterprise office.

ECENTLY in a class dedicated to lots of lunges with hip ďŹ&#x201A;exor and quadriceps stretches, one of the participants came up and said they really enjoyed the class, and next week could we do something with stretches for the front of her thighs (everything we had done!) as she could never really get a good stretch there.

This is a typical red ďŹ&#x201A;ag for someone who is hypermobile. When we were kids we used to call it being double jointed, which, of course, is inaccurate.

WHAT IS HYPERMOBILITY? People whose joints have a morethan-normal range of motion are called hyperďŹ&#x201A;exible or hypermobile.

There is a more debilitating form of this but for many, they experience nothing more than being able to impress people at parties!

Figures suggest that anywhere between 3% to 10% of people have some level of hypermobility, with women being more likely to be affected.

However, depending on your level of hypermobility, you may be more prone to injuries, fractures and dislocated joints, because the joints have more mobility than stability.

You may be hypermobile if you have always been able to place your hands ďŹ&#x201A;at on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor in a forward bend, ďŹ&#x201A;op into the splits or you feel in constant need of a stretch but it never seems to satisfy you.

Another sign is being in an advanced or challenging yoga pose but you â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel anythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

However you may be hypermobile in some joints while having a normal or less than normal range of motion in others.

Yoga often attracts people who are hypermobile as they are very ďŹ&#x201A;exible and everyone tells them theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re amazing as they very quickly go into advanced poses with ease.

However hypermobility means that joints are more ďŹ&#x201A;exible than usual but the muscles arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. So when someone with hypermobility goes into a deep stretch, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the joints that stretch but not so much the muscles.

In yoga, hypermobility can cause an issue when the joint allows you to go deeply into a particular pose but the surrounding musculature canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support you, which leads to injury.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also worth pointing out here that being more ďŹ&#x201A;exible and bendy than the next person is not what yoga is about.

PREVENTING INJURY The key is to keep the muscles engaged constantly, encouraging the muscles to hug the bones, and anchor into the joints, which is something we should all be doing anyway.

So while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at that person with amazing ďŹ&#x201A;exibility, consider that they may be hypermobile and ďŹ nd it hard to really enjoy a stretch. They will also always have to keep muscles engaged in any poses. Here are some tips for the hypermobile person but as I read them now, they are techniques we should all be practicing anyway. â&#x20AC;˘ Move slowly in and out of poses, keeping muscles engaged all the time. â&#x20AC;˘ Only work to max 80% of what you consider your full capability and then focus on keeping those muscles engaged, in particular around the joints. â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid locking out joints, keeping a micro-bend in knees and elbows.

So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stiff, consider yourself lucky, your path is simpleâ&#x20AC;Śall you have to do is loosen up and increase strength. Realise that in yoga youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only competing against yourself, you never know where someone else is coming from.

Trish Hayden, YogaToGo, teaches Total Barre, Yoga and Sports Stretch Yoga.

New term starts in The Watershed and Callan from April 29.

She also teaches one to one yoga sessions for speciďŹ c requirements and Office Yoga.

OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;VE GOT a looming deadline at work, the 12 month old baby is teething, your in-laws are coming to visit and the house is upside

down.

Before you know it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve demolished half a packet of biscuits with a large mug of coffee whilst freaking out over the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;to-doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list.

Stress eating can quickly turn into a binge and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t register (nor do we wish to register) what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re munching on because the food is going down so fast. Changing this behaviour can be a challenge and will not happen overnight. Make a list of calming strategies that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve using

food to soothe the stress. When you feel overwhelmed, consult your list and pick out something you can do for 10 minutes. Tidy the shoe department of your wardrobe or post a Facebook status update.

Either will distract you long enough for your stress levels to come down and to help you think less emotionally and more rationally.

Frequently clients attend the clinic for nutrition advice for upcoming special occasions. There will always be a reunion, wedding, or holiday to get in shape for, but once the big event has come and gone the focus needs to shift to eating smartly to maintain good health and wellbeing.

Changing lifestyle habits requires support and lots of practice to ďŹ nd out what â&#x20AC;&#x153;worksâ&#x20AC;? for you for the longer term.

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kilkenny Reporter, I start a two-part series discussing how to eat more intuitively and with more mindfulness to help â&#x20AC;&#x153;stress eatingâ&#x20AC;?.

For example, you have a thought such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need that cakeâ&#x20AC;&#x153;. Consider the possibility that by eating the cake, you will be satisďŹ ed and ďŹ nished with eating for the rest of the evening and not haunted by a craving.

Instead you eat the perceived â&#x20AC;&#x153;right foodâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;sensible choiceâ&#x20AC;? being a

pear from the fruit bowl and that you will not be satisďŹ ed by the pear and will probably still eat the doughnut ďŹ ve or ten minutes later.

Reject â&#x20AC;&#x153;dietâ&#x20AC;? mentality Throw out the diet books and magazine articles that offer you false hope of losing weight easily, rapidly and permanently.

Get angry at the lies that have led you to feel as if you were a failure every time a new diet stopped working and you gained back all of the weight.

If you allow even one small hope to linger that a new and better fad diet or fat burner pill might feature in your regular ďŹ tness or beauty magazine, it will prevent you from being free to discover intuitive eating.

I often describe lifestyle change as boarding a â&#x20AC;&#x153;long-haulâ&#x20AC;? ďŹ&#x201A;ight approach, rather than catching the Luas which you might hop on and quickly hop off once you have reached your destination a short distance away.

Vulnerability factors Feeling too tired, very stressed or too hungry are risky times to try any new eating approach.

Respect that in vulnerable times it takes more emotional energy to try out new eating approaches. Make a start by just acknowledging these feelings as â&#x20AC;&#x153;danger timesâ&#x20AC;? for triggering

unhealthy behaviours.

Honor your hunger Keep your body biologically fed with adequate good nutrition. Otherwise you can trigger a primal drive to overeat.

Once you reach the moment of excessive hunger, all intentions of moderate, conscious eating are ďŹ&#x201A;eeting and irrelevant. Learning to honour this ďŹ rst biological signal sets the stage for re-building trust with yourself and food.

Make peace with food Call a truce, stop the food ďŹ ght! Give yourself unconditional permission to eat. If you tell yourself that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a particular food, it can lead to intense feelings of deprivation that build into uncontrollable cravings

and, often, bingeing. When you ďŹ nally â&#x20AC;&#x153;give-inâ&#x20AC;? to your unhealthy food, eating will be experienced with such intensity it usually results in Last Supper overeating and overwhelming guilt.

Remember that if you are feeling guilty whilst you are eating a particular food then you cannot possibly be enjoying it!

The Food Police Shout a loud â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noâ&#x20AC;? to any thoughts in your head that declare youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re â&#x20AC;&#x153;goodâ&#x20AC;? for eating minimal calories or â&#x20AC;&#x153;badâ&#x20AC;? because you ate a piece of chocolate cake.

The food police impart too much negativity and only encourage the unreasonable rules that dieting has created. Erase the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;dietâ&#x20AC;? form your vocabulary and replace with â&#x20AC;&#x153;healthy eatingâ&#x20AC;?.

Respect your fullness Listen for the body signals that tell you that you are no longer hungry. Observe the signs that show that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comfortably full. Pause in the middle of a meal or food and ask yourself how the food tastes and what is your current level of fullness.

Next week I will be providing further tips to help Reporter readers to eat more intuitively and in tune with the body and mind.
