    Fall Back in Love with Food, One Sandwich at a Time with Jason Skrobar

    You love bread. You’ve been told it doesn’t love you back. Jason Skrobar, bestselling author of The Book of Sandwiches and a food expert on CTV's Your Morning, joins Gina Livy for a lighter conversation about a food so many of us were taught to fear. Gina explains why cutting out bread isn't the fix, and why the real goal is to lose weight in a way that lets it back in, without the guilt. Jason shares how he keeps good bakery sourdough on hand without racing to finish the loaf, why he's a fan of cottage cheese and lentil breads, and how to build a sandwich around whatever you can or can't eat.

    Maintenance: Week 6, Day 45

    If you ran your business the way you take care of yourself, would it succeed? Gina Livy opens with a question from a talk she's preparing for entrepreneurs, and it hits home for anyone who always puts themselves last. She and Odette look at the gap between knowing you're struggling and actually doing something about it, and why the next step is usually small. They talk about why old cycles hang on because they feel familiar, how self-sabotage often starts with not feeling worthy of the result, and how to retrain your brain's "algorithm" to look for evidence that this time is different.

    The Livy Method: Week 6, Day 45

    Years ago, Gina Livy was eating less, exercising more, and still gaining weight. Back then, nobody was talking about insulin, cortisol or hormones. Looking back, Gina connects the dots: stress, sleep, and the difference between eating fewer calories and eating less food. A sugary coffee, a muffin and a slice of pizza can feel like you've barely eaten. That's how The Livy Method started, as a lifestyle program nobody wanted to buy. She explains why counting calories falls short when your hunger changes day to day, and how differently foods break down, from fruit in about half an hour to red meat over five, which matters more than you'd think before a night out dancing. She also argues for starting small with movement and building strength for who you'll be in 10 years, not who you used to be.

    The Livy Method: Week 6, Day 44 with Dr. Beverley David

    If you think you're failing, your brain will go find the proof. Clinical psychologist Dr. Beverley David joins Gina Livy with a practical mindset toolkit for weight loss, starting with the CBT cycle: write down what you're thinking, feeling, doing and noticing in your body, then look for the evidence your brain is skipping. She explains her Catch It, Cancel It, Correct It method, why deciding to show up gives your brain a reward before you've even started, and why the weight that keeps coming back may once have kept you safe. Plus two habits to try this week: a 15-minute daily "worry window," and three to five "fantastics" written down every night to train your brain to notice what's working. Where to Find Dr. Beverley David: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdrbeverley/ Website: https://www.yourpsychologycentre.ca/store To sign up for Dr. Beverley's Catch it. Cancel it. Correct it.

    Maintenance: Week 6, Day 43

    Some weeks, the whole goal is just to keep it together. Gina Livy is in one of those weeks, and Odette is coming through a year of loss and big family change. Together they unpack why self-awareness, not food, is the real work. They dig into how beating yourself up stacks a second problem on top of the first, why so many women were raised to believe putting themselves first is selfish, and how to cut back gently, a few bites at a time, instead of restricting your way into a binge.

    The Livy Method: Week 6, Day 43

    You ate a little less all week and the scale didn’t budge. That doesn’t mean it isn’t working. Gina Livy explains why weight loss runs on momentum. The number on the scale reflects what you’ve been doing for weeks, not just the last few days, so a hard week often pays off the week after. With Halloween days away, she also makes the case that the candy on the 31st isn’t the real problem. It’s the little bit every night after. Make a plan, decide whether you’re having it, and try her tip of pairing sweets with a bit of healthy fat to take the edge off sugar cravings. Somewhere in the middle of any goal, the novelty wears off. Gina gets honest about her own tough week, the wine and chips she wanted all weekend, and how she picks a few non-negotiables when life is too busy to do it all.

    Maintenance: Week 5, Day 38

    Maintenance isn’t the finish line. It’s where the work gets personal. Gina Livy and Odette talk about what keeping weight off really looks like for women in midlife: trusting how you feel over what the scale says, giving your weight a range to move in instead of a number to defend, and letting go of the weight you carry that was never physical. That last idea is the heart of Gina’s new book, Liv Lighter, which is now available at Indigo.ca.

    The Livy Method: Week 5 Day 38 with Sandra Elia

    Sandra Elia talks about her food addiction and how She gained 100 pounds, while it had nothing to do with hunger. She was eating to numb herself. Today Sandra is a certified food addiction counsellor and the author of Never Enough: Three Pillars of Food Addiction Recovery. She also runs an outpatient food addiction recovery program in medical clinics across Canada. She and Gina talk about how ultra-processed food is built to overwhelm your brain’s reward system, the difference between eating food and using it, and how to plan for your high-risk times of day. They also cover what GLP-1 medications can’t do on their own, why “I just have to stop” is the wrong answer to a craving, and what to ask yourself instead.
