One of the biggest resolutions people typically have is to eat healthier and lose weight. There’s plenty of reasons why many of us over eat, but much of it comes down to the foods we crave. There’s an addictive quality to food whether we want to admit or not and saying no to unhealthy snacks and meals can prove extremely difficult.
On this week’s episode Ed addresses why we crave particular foods and gives a few easy to implement tips to help reduce those cravings. There’s always a fair amount of self-control that needs to happen when trying to change our eating habits, but these small steps can make that journey much easier.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
