Listen to episode 229:
"Moderating sugar and eating clean works for me": Irene
June 1, 2025
Irene grew up with parents who grew up on a farm. Her mother loved sugar and processed foods, but she also did a lot of cooking, making hearty meals.
Both of Irene's parents were overweight, and eventually they were diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
In this episode, we discuss:
- saturated fats
- moderating sugar versus abstaining
- weight loss
- sweeteners
- feeling better, and different ways to get there
- what we eat in a day (and how often)
- naturally occurring sugars (like in fruit) and added sugar
- treats
- understanding those who are different from us
Where sugar's concerned, Irene is a moderator and she can handle just a little. But I (and maybe you) can't.
We're all different. And that's the beauty of this conversation.
