Liv Lighter with Gina

With Gina away, Odette and Kim take your questions in an Ask Us Anything and get honest about their own journeys. Kim lost more than 50 pounds and kept it off for years, until menopause. Odette lost over 40 pounds in 2021 and saw some return during a hard stretch of family illness and loss. They share the hardest part of each of their journeys, why there’s no “forever weight” you suddenly arrive at, and whether you really have to eat this way for the rest of your life.

Most of us finish a meal before our brain has caught up to our stomach. So how do you know when you’ve actually had enough?

Kim and Odette, a nutritionist, answer listener questions about a simple test: eat half your meal, wait 20 to 30 minutes, then decide how much more you really need. They explain why the pause gives your digestion and hunger signals time to catch up, how to make it work if you’re on a GLP-1, and how building your whole plate first can show you’re overdoing protein while chasing that 30-gram goal.

The rest is rapid-fire. They cover staying on track on weekends and girls’ trips, leafy greens that travel without wilting or smelling, whether water is masking your fullness, and what to do when you have no appetite. They also share the habit changes that mattered most in their own weight loss, from giving up running on coffee until mid-afternoon to protecting sleep.

Food noise is loudest at night for a reason. It’s the first quiet moment of the day, and everything you didn’t have time to feel finally gets a turn.

Psychotherapist-turned-coach Jenna Jones, who helps women in midlife break the restrict-binge cycle, joins Kim and Odette to explain what food noise really is. She covers how it differs from hunger, cravings and emotional eating, why no other reward feels as good as food, and why the foods you forbid are the ones you end up bingeing on (hello, milkshake study). She also shares a 20-minute rule for riding out an urge without white-knuckling it. Plus, what to do when your honest answer is “I want to eat the whole cake.”

November is the gray zone. Not quite fall, not quite winter, and dark by dinner. With Gina away, Odette and Kim unpack the post-Halloween trifecta: leftover candy, a time change your body hasn’t caught up to, and shorter days that quietly shift your hunger, your mood and your evening routine. Their advice: don’t overhaul everything. Pick the one or two things that matter most this month. Plus, why heartier comfort foods change your portions, and how three nights without after-dinner snacking can reset more than your cravings.

Your body needs 15 to 20 minutes to register what you’ve eaten, which is exactly why it’s so easy to overeat without noticing. On Day 50, Gina introduces one of the program’s most debated tweaks: splitting your meals and snacks in two. Same portions, eaten in two halves about 20 to 30 minutes apart, with protein first and heavier carbs second. She explains how to make it work at a restaurant, at the family table, or on a tight schedule.

Coming off a weekend of treats, Gina also launches a three-day no-eating-after-dinner challenge to quiet sugar cravings, minus the guilt. And in a candid moment, she admits that even with Liv Lighter on the Globe and Mail bestseller list, she still struggles to feel like enough.
