What to do if carb counting is triggering a dieting mentality E.45
12/17/21 • 21 min
Unlike the average intuitive eater who can stop counting, tracking, or measuring all food, those of us living with diabetes (especially those of us using insulin) don't have the same luxury of swearing off such measures, and as such, it can feel especially challenging to leave the dieting mindset behind. So what can we do? Let's talk about it!
By listening you'll learn:
- The challenge of separating carb counting from our dieting past
- Can carb counting be approached with more flexibility?
- The role of addressing mindset versus modifying your carb counting approach in dealing with the dieting mentality
- What I mean by creating emotionally neutral numbers
