Happy Halloween! 🎃

Evenings can be a big trigger for food noise, especially when you crave something sweet. Lately I’ve been making a blend of holiday spices that gives me the feeling of a sweet treat without being over-sugared. I found a recipe that nearly matches it: Spiced Pumpkin Latte.

You don’t have to get fancy (unless you want to!) and you don’t need the exact ingredients. Here’s what I use with what I have on hand. Make it however you like. It’s really helped me keep the kids from raiding the candy. 🍬

Guide Tara’s Pumpkin Spice Latte

Warm oat milk
Pumpkin spice
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
A teaspoon of sugar (optional; I skip it because oat milk is already sweet)

Whisk the spices into the saucepan while your milk heats. ☕

Let’s talk about a topic that can feel scary: GLP-1s.

One benefit many people notice is that the volume of food noise goes way down. It doesn’t disappear completely, but for some it becomes much more manageable.

I hear this often from members I’ve coached in the past who use GLP-1s through different providers. Over my coaching career, I’ve sat with so many members who felt heavy frustration at not being able to “control” their food noise, even when they were doing all the things. For many, the biggest trigger was stress.

When some of those same members started a GLP-1, I could feel their relief when they’d tell me about the first time a stressful event didn’t set off an overwhelming wave of food noise. They felt empowered to finally put their other tools into practice.

GLP-1s aren’t for everyone, for lots of reasons. They are not a “cheat” by any means. They’re simply one more tool in your toolkit, if you decide you want to explore it. 💙

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for something quick to make, whether my kids eat it or not. 😅

My house is full of sweets right now. I’m not even a sweets person, but I still catch myself managing food noise: “Ooh, you don’t eat like this all year, just one.” I know full well that one turns into “just one” every day, and before I know it, I don’t feel good.

When that happens, I slow down, think about how it’s going to make me feel, and ask myself, “What do I really want?” Usually, I’m just hungry and want something quick.

Today I’ve got an acorn squash and a few eggs to use up, so I’m giving Baked Eggs in Acorn Squash a try. 🍳

This week we’re paying attention to the volume of our food noise. 🔊 Like so many things, it’s different for everyone.

Food noise is that constant chatter in our thoughts about food: cravings, a pull toward food when we’re not hungry, wondering when the next meal is, and plenty more.

For some of us, the holidays turn that volume way up. Candy, sweets, and heavier foods are suddenly everywhere.

In this week's workshops, we’ll share how we’ve each managed our own food noise. To help with temptation, I’ll also share recipes from the WW Fall Cookbook here.

What’s one thing you’re doing this week to turn down the volume on your food noise?

Good Wednesday evening, everyone!

This week's Wellness Wednesday is brought to you by Guide Tara. During Friday's workshop, we touched on not judging someone else's journey based on what we see on the outside, because a lot may be going on internally.

Sometimes we manage lifestyle conditions that negatively impact our health, unrelated to our eating and movement habits. I decided to share a little about my journey recently while cooking some kitchari. I made a 🍁fall batch with dinner tonight, too! 😋
