Why “Everything in Moderation” Can Backfire After Bariatric Surgery
“Just have a little bit.” Sounds balanced… until it isn’t. In this candid episode, Helen and Evie unpack why the “everything in moderation” mantra can become a slippery slope after bariatric surgery—especially if food addiction, bingeing, or emotional eating are part of your story. They talk trigger foods, food noise, and why your stomach may be smaller but your brain chemistry still plays by old rules. You’ll hear practical ways to swap moderation for protection: red/amber/green food zones, house rules that beat willpower, family and holiday scripts, and safe treats that won’t wake the cravings.
You’ll learn:
- Why moderation often fails addictive brains (it’s biology, not willpower)
- How to build your red/amber/green food map
- Simple “house rules” to cut food noise at home
- Holiday and family strategies that protect your progress
- How abstinence can feel like freedom—not punishment
If you’re stuck in the moderation trap, this episode gives you clarity, language, and step-by-step strategies to stay in control—on ordinary days and during big events.
