  • A lot of people who engage in dieting fall into two cycles pretty hard. A binge eating cycle which involves lots of guilt, shame and morality towards food. Or a restriction cycle that is all about control, willpower and following rules to keep you "in control."

    This episode explores the two cycles and the outcomes and intentions behind both. It also provides a third way to relate with food that is rooted in intuitive eating, neutrality and flexibility.

    Check out this podcast to see where you are in your eating journey.
