You asked for a Specialist in the Food Addiction space who relies exclusively on a whole-plant-based food diet and we heard you. In today’s episode, we bring you the fast-talking Dr. Alan Goldhamer. Along with fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds he also advocates for a food plan FREE from added salt, oil, and sugar (SOS) as you will hear him refer to in the interview.
We thought it was important to discuss the vegan approach to Food Addiction Recovery because there are many in our community who eat this way too. What’s MOST important is that find what works for YOU and what is true for YOU.
What we learned in this interview is that these two food camps are not so far apart. They both aim to eliminate processed foods, sugars, and fake convenience foods. They just have different takes on sources of protein and the volume of food that needs to be consumed to maintain each lifestyle adequately.
You may have to pause, rewind and relisten to this episode as these two fire back and forth with nuggets of recovery information. Listen carefully to what Dr. Alan Goldhamer says about his water fast and realize that the people he does this with are inpatient and medically supervised not done on their own at home.
