In this episode we talk about the often emotional link between the food we eat, the negative states we then feel and how we react by "punishing" ourselves with exercise. We all have those hard to resist foods that no amount of will power seem to keep us away from, but after indulging ourselves, is it beneficial to then make yourself pay the price for it, but why do we do this to ourselves?

Some of the topics we cover are:

• Hedonic (pleasure hunger)
• Power of food
• Exercise as punishment
• Food environment
• Hunger and emotion
• self-control and restraint
