My first guest this week is Amy Freinberg-Trufas, author of FOOD – Eat With Ease Every Day
This is not another diet book. And that’s good. Because you don’t need another diet. Just ask Amy Freinberg-Trufas, who suffered with morbid obesity for the first four decades of her life.
Navigating a traumatic childhood, she turned to food to cope, creating mindless habits and patterns of emotional eating that caused her to pack on pound after pound for years…
As an adult, Amy’s weight was choking her out of her own life and she knew it. After hitting a devastating 311 pounds, she stopped weighing herself, giving up on any efforts to address her obesity. Her suffering continued until years later, when her father’s deathbed words illuminated a path that finally allowed her to imagine, create, and ultimately celebrate a new relationship with food.
Recognizing her lifelong habit of emotional eating, she developed an inner curiosity and acceptance enabling her to move past old coping mechanisms that were no longer serving her. Practicing intuitive eating, she now joyfully eats with ease every day.
Part memoir, part mindset guide, this book is honest, raw, and sometimes, unbelievable. Written with vulnerability, compassion, and humor, you’ll begin to see your own way out of anything holding you back from living a joyful life. Struggling with eating? Read this book. It’s not a shallow repeat of every other food guide, fad diet, or recipe book… In fact, it’s barely about food at all.
Eat the foods you love and eat with ease. Stop suffering around food. “A gentle, sustainable path to weight loss for people who love great food!” Follow Amy on Facebook and learn more at www.amyfreinberg.com
Later in the show I’ll be chatting with local entrepreneur and juice queen Rebecca (Becky) Trickle about her journey in juice and healthy living. Becky’s dad was a great friend of mine, his passing occurred much too soon and was a BIG loss to me and an even bigger loss to Becky and her family.
Becky started small…really small, making fresh pressed juice from quality ingredients. The healthy beverages shared with friends prompted the beginning of a small business that continues to grow here in Wichita. She names her business “Off The Press“. Becky has made several types of juice and offers many for sale direct to consumer from her site: www.offthepressjuice and often at the Old Town Farmer’s Market here in Wichita.
We’ll tell you about her journey, products currently available and how you can find them. 🙂
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2021 DOMAINE DE SAHARI, VIN GRIS DU MAROC
BENI M’TIR ROSÉ- MOROCCO
A blend of cinsault and grenache, today’s wine was made in the vin gris method: red juice is vinified somewhat like white wine. Grapes are pressed and the juice spends little or no time soaking with the skins. What results is rosé that is bright and refreshing, with lip-smacking acidity. Floral-tinged aromas of strawberries and peaches follow on the generous palate, along with notes of Honeydew melon, hints of stony minerality, and a hit of baking spice on the long, zippy finish. ABV13%
Moroccan wines are virtually unheard of to many wine lovers on this side of The Pond, but the juice that is starting to make its way to our shores is outstanding. It is no wonder; wine has been made here since the Roman Empire! Domaine de Sahari, located in the foothills of the Altas Mountains, has all the goods to produce outstanding fruit: warm summers, abundant sunshine, wide diurnal temperature variations, and cooling ocean and mountain breezes. Pierre Castel, who took over the estate in 1994, has made Domaine de Sahari the country’s premier winery.
