32: Do you think you've tried and failed at intuitive eating? Let's chat

10/10/22 • 15 min

Do you think you have tried and failed at intuitive eating? It’s important to understand that intuitive eating is NOT a diet. And if it's not a diet... you can't fail!
It’s about changing your mindset about food and learning how to eat normally again after years of restricting food and eating by the clock.
Creating a healthy relationship with food isn’t a quick fix and there is no end date to health. So let's unpack the challenges you might face along your path to eating intuitively and how you can overcome them.
P.s. Want help with binge or emotional eating? I think you'll get a lot of value from my FREE 5-day course, in which I teach you strategies that helped me to skip the cravings and feel in control around food. The course will be delivered via email straight into your inbox.💜

31: Scientists have proven that "diet foods" trick you into eating MORE

We are in a wave of new information and research about the gut-brain axis. How the health of our gut can impact our mental health. But did you know this goes both ways? What our thoughts are around food - 'good' foods and 'bad' foods - impacts our stomach and how we feel after eating.
Remember food isn’t good or bad, food is just food. Yet every day, we’re bombarded with conflicting advice about what we ‘should’ be eating. We know it's very easy to tell you 'don't label foods as good or bad', but the Milkshake experiment showed us why it really matters.
Wtf is the Milkshake Experiment? It's a 2011 study, where psychologist Alia Crum got volunteers to drink a 'healthy' milkshake and an 'unhealthy' milkshake... the results will amaze you.
P.s. Have you tried a bajillion diets, only to regain the weight (and more)? It’s likely that diet culture is keeping you stuck in this vicious cycle, full of empty promises and failed attempts. If you want to build real health, check out my best-selling book Your Weight is Not the Problem. Get the deets and access to a free audio sample HERE.
